Where do you go from Love?

"Reverence is engaging in a form and depth of contact with Life that is well
beyond the shell of form and into essence." - Gary Zukav


After being in awe during the holidays with our family and friends a new year begins with resolutions, goals, and the focus of change in our lives for the better. The time of being with those we love, the excitement and joy of giving to others now shifts to being all about YOU.   

It is about YOU. You are the conduit to all life forms. You may feel uncomfortable being the center of attention. You are to life as electricity is to light. You are love emanating love out to the world.

By taking care of you, it allows you to revitalize and amplify your energy. This allowance of time and space is to provide you to love yourself. Thus, you can continue to spread more love and light to other people.   

The time for getting to know who you are is not only about values. It is about the person you have become and what you have achieved. Your unearthing practices challenge you continuously to allow growth and have a sense of balance in your life.   

You have succumbed to your challenges. Without the challenges, you find yourself comfortable always wondering why you are here again. You fought so hard to change a behavior that is not serving you because it has disguised your inner pain, hurt or doubts. This instigates a division between your heart and soul.   

This polarity is what you see through the spectrum called life. Life you experienced through the facets of knowledge co-existing with a desire to receive love and be accepted by others.   

Humans are judgmental when it becomes about self. Humans are the masters of the imbalances of one’s own truth. The truth within your soul you can not deny others but you can deny for yourself. This is to be loved.

This exposure when you love someone exposes the love for one self. Yet, the love you offer is it enough as you wait for love to be returned. As simple as it may seem, it becomes more difficult to believe you can love to be loved.

On the other side of the spectrum, some of us have looked externally to measure love from another with our identity. There is a lot of energy when the concentration becomes centered on you. It is much easier to look outside of you and “give” to others, be accepted, and to please someone. There may be moments you feel perplexed because you gave every bit of you to receive only a part of that person. You ache to maybe touch their soul, if possible.

The illusions of the love you have given are generated as a reality, the truth is far from existence, and thus, you avoid who you are, and what you desire. The distraction is easily created through the constant reminder of am I good enough or am I enough.

Where do you go from love? Again, it isn’t about love, it is far more than love. It is about being accepted as you are. The desire to be accepted revealing to others the naked truth, “here I am”! Look at my imperfections as they are. Take me and embrace me. Is not my soul enough to expose the reality of who I am?

The center of love is you. Where you go from love is to know YOU and the love you have for yourself. It is not a prize you will win. No one can give you the pure essence of love except YOU! It is from within you that your passion and desire will flourish externally as a light connecting to others through all human senses. This connection is all that can be.

Where do you go from love? You cannot deny the desire to want another human being to return this desire and passion. Your emotions intensify in anticipation for an external response. It is the drive of what you want in return. The fear of rejection is what pierces your heart. Again, I ask you to look within your own soul and know your heart.

There are still those who must discover who they are and are enough to love and receive love. It is one heart at a time. The reunions of many hearts to fuel one soul as each of you reflect within during your transition.

The first month of the year has passed us by and some may feel it is a bit depressing. The days are short with not enough time to do what we want. There may not be enough time to look at love for oneself.

Take time to move forward in this transition. It does not matter where you are today because life is in motion. Flow with this motion as you shift gears in to your cycle of life with your realities. Create not from your illusions or delusions in defining love. Build only the truth, from the core of your being, love.

Do not measure your accomplishments with who you are. This can become a disease and a battle you may not win. When you compare the professional with personal achievements they are not separate from one another. The only result produced in this game is “was it enough”?

The action of this cycle causes you to only focus on what you didn’t do. The regret becomes the blame attached to stories justifying your actions of could have, should have, would have until the New Year comes around again for you to fashion another resolution. Remember, you become unbalanced, not unloved.

This is not a journey. It is a desire. A torch that does not die it only yearns to attract this desire which you were given prior to birth and born to eternally be, YOU. You are love. It is not a risk to reveal your love to see the depths of your soul.

Your soul is the prism to all hearts. It is connected to the facets of our thoughts and feelings. You may have been influenced by your environment as a child. And this influence complicated with life experiences. Find a prac-tice to assist you to bridge the gap and not lose your core being. Create a reality from this core.

The core vibrates throughout your body resonating love. Yet, a vibration unexplainable and unidentifiable when love is rejected may spark pain, doubts and insecurities. The deeper the pain, hurt is evident. An uncontrollable aching inside your body as your mind validates all your mistakes, breaking your spirit.

Your spirit is also rejected. Rejection is painful. Love is painful. Acceptance of all you are will ease the pain. Acceptance is the medicine to allow love to overcome the pain. Love will ease your thoughts and take the love to forgive yourself, and release the rejection you feel.

You are not going to be lonely or alone. This is a belief that there is no one. This emotion surfaces especially around the holidays where suicide rate is higher. It is a belief that can be changed. First, you must look within. The truth that the value of oneself is not weighted with who returns your love or whom you have.

Yes, you along with many others want love in our lives. This love is an exchange between two people. It is an external exchange of love and energy to exist as one soul. Love encompassing the physical body to become one generating the love between one another. Becoming one life force, and an individual as the mind intertwines and bring forth one's own knowledge and experience.

Where do you go from love? Massage your soul with the knowing of who you are and the essence of your core being. Love cannot be won. It cannot be compromised. It is a gift. Find your gift and embrace it. Accept you as you are and the changes you make in your life. The changes are to build your confidence in your character, not who you are.

Love has no attachments. It has no impurities or judgments. Love is not conforming to someone else. It is private and intimate. Love is the person in the mirror. Love is absolute. You are absolute.

If you are stuck and want something different than the cycles of a merry-go-round, where you feel you have been here before and why you are here again. You may already know your answer or already have information and are going in that direction. When life happens, we all become lost for the moment. It doesn’t alleviate the reality of what you are feeling. The confusion is sometimes in despair not because you are lost. Divulging yourself before another human being and the world, love me as I love you, is it enough? Will you continue to test yourself and others to assess love? The truth is “where do you go from love?” .
