The Real Truth about Love...
 

It was a wonderful morning...

Suddenly I heard several thoughts in my head.  It said:

“Imagine you are on a mountain top – overlooking the great distance. You see clouds, clean air and beautiful mountains in the distance…  How do you feel? - Do you feel hate, indifference - or Love?”

“Of course, I love the beautiful scenery”, I replied in my mind.

The voice in my head continued:  “This is the simplest definition of Love.  It is not sex, it is not money – and it is not related only to people relationships.  Love is simply ‘admiration’…

There you have it - school is over for today…  But we assume you will not leave it so easily, right?”  (Laugh)

“Yes, you are right”, I replied.   “We thought so”, the voice sounded humorously.

The voice continued: “Please imagine another place, a place full of hate, pain and misery.  How do you feel?  Do you feel compassion – or perhaps anger and hate?"

I quietly thought about what Hell might be like.  It looked pretty grim, I thought to myself.

The voice then said: “It is of course important that you surround yourself with things that you like.  But you see; Love comes from within.  It really does not come from the environment, people or things around you.  It comes from you.

The place with pain and misery could be a place of piece, love and happiness – if you allowed it to be so.”

“Imagine a relationship between man and woman, when they first met.  It was all bliss.  Things were perfect, and nothing could go wrong. - This is Admiration in full blossom.

Then pain, bills and other misery sets in.  You suddenly do not feel the same about your mate.  Why is this?

Well, it is because you are no longer creating Love.

People do not fall out – or into – Love, as if it is something that happens to people outside us.  It is always something that comes from inside us.

You can just as easily start loving another human being as you can hate him/her.  It is all a matter of attitude, from within.”

“So, how can we humans learn to love other people?”, I replied.

“Simple…  Love yourself first – with all your warts, diseases and ugly forms and thinking.  You know you have a few of these.  (laugh)

When you learn to do this, other people will seem very acceptable or tolerable to you.

Then move into the “Love Band” by not holding any negative feelings about other people.

People might speak badly, swear and curse.  They might steal or even cheat on their mate – but in the end; who really cares?  Is it not just material pleasures that you can not take with you anyhow?”

“Try to see the bigger picture…  We all have a few lessons to learn, and you are not perfect.  Think of it as a “School of Earth.”

You exist physically to develop spiritually.

This is the only purpose for life on Earth.  It is not about making money, having good sex or material success.  The scenes in your Life are not important.  Only the Lessons of Life are important.

Go out and enjoy your Lessons of Life.  There is no need to be too serious.  If you are having fun while learning, doesn’t it make you learn faster also?  And, you most certainly will feel better.

Stop fighting with you mate or co-workers.  Just go with the flow, and remember they are having the same lessons about Life as you.  It will not help much if you try to tell them what to do.  They need to learn on their own.”

“That makes sense”, I thought humbly. 

“Is there anything else we should know about Love”, I asked?

“Mastery of any skill comes from plenty of practical application.  You can not “tell” someone to be smart, or learn to love on the first go.  They need to see with their own eyes. 

Go easy on them – and just Love them… always.”
