LOVE

We all say it, we all think we know what it is, some say they never want it and some say they can't live without it, and we have this movement once again about being the love. Remember the 70's?

But what is love? And why is it that we say that we are love but then still tear ourselves apart from it anytime something doesn't go our way? Why do we still do things, accidentally or intentionally until we get the attention that we want or feel we deserve? Why do we still put a line between us when it comes to what we believe or don't believe? What if we all just stopped believing anything.

I was laying in bed last night and the movie "The Polar Express" kept showing in my mind when one of the kids had "believe" on his ticket. And I kept hearing the voice in the movie telling him, "Well all you have to do is believe". You see the boy stopped believing in Santa because he thought he was too big. But then he has the wonderful trip to the North Pole and his belief is restored.

The child now believed that Santa was real and his LOVE was restored. Before his belief was restored he was angry and upset about the illusional fat man in a suit. And we are no different. As long as people believe like us our love is restored in them. We walk around saying that we are love, but how quickly does this love move away when they fall out of favor with us or us with them.

Of course there are so many things to "believe", there are so many rights and wrongs, and there are so many ways for me to judge you. Some even believe that if I love you then this means I will punish you for your own good, it means that I will attack you because God knows what's best for you. Even though these things may be true, anytime we begin to tell someone "I'm doing this out of love for you" there is another agenda. How do I know? Because it's now your love you are doing for the individual.

When we feel that we are giving something to another person out of the love for "THEM" we are delusional. We have just witness the greatest projection of all time history.

Whether it be, "For the love of our country we need to get rid of the president", "Because I love you I want you to be willing to work on yourself", "Because I love you you should not hate me", "Because I love you I'm going to take you through the depths of your soul."

What is it about the country that you feel you need to do anything about and then that's where you need to begin in your own life.

What is it that you are wanting another to work on and that's where you begin with yourself.

What is it that you feel the other person should not hate you and that's where you begin with yourself.

What soul are you taking to the depths of anything through? For it will always only be your own soul that you are dealing with. It will only be yourself that you are separated from and pushing deeper into the abyss.

So what is love? Love is having the ability not to do anything, but just be. Some folks say, "Yea, I'm doing that. I'm being my day."

Yesterday when I was having lunch I was instructed just to be in the booth eating soup. That I was not to get involved in anything but my own feelings while sitting there. What I learned is it used to be that I would have all kinds of stories of how people were acting and being. But yesterday I realized that it was my own discomfort that caused me to do this. So I sat there, and sat there I did. Then I heard, "We are going to show you how people will come to you". Suddenly a waitress walked up to me and just started talking about health and such. She asked me, "Are you a teacher?". I explained to her that I am a teacher of sorts. Then she asked what did I do for a living and for a card.

I sat there laughing at the clarity and timing of the message. It appears to be happening quicker and quicker for me these days anyway. I knew that a previous decision I had made was on target.

People always ask, "Don't you question these thoughts in your head?" Sometimes I do but then that's when I really struggle. But when I trust that inner guidance my life moves with such clarity and understand, as well as ease.

So what is love? The ability to move out of your own way. The ability just to be present in the moment without thinking about how you're going to sell a product, how you're going to get the next person signed up for your class, or thinking about anything really. You'll just be completely present and not pretending at it. Hey, we know when you're pretending. LOL (This is so true).

So be real with yourself and truly feel what it's like to be the love and not just make up a bunch of words that mean nothing. Be so real that you feel unreal. And be all that you want to be and more, for no matter what you do today, even pretending you are still LOVE.

LOL, this is too funny. So I just drew a card to share with you guys today. It was the letter Lamed and what is written on the card is "The one law of love". LOL, You see. And it continues to say, "What would love do now?" Love would do nothing. Absolutely nothing, it would just BE. In my book Lamed means "toward", "Heart is what moves us, heart is what creates memorable teachers, and heart is what enables us to touch others."

What a beautiful way to end our blog today. When we move out of our head and into our heart that is where we are connected. It's not within all the beliefs that separate us, it's not within the mind that is divided, and it's surely not in your thoughts of judgment of who is more powerful or "needs" more of anything. We simply need to connect with our hearts and be.

So be the Love today by staying in your heart. Listen to the birds sing, feel the wind on your face, taste the butter on the toast, and witness the love that you are right now, fully embrace the idea that you are love.

There is no belief statement today, but I welcome you to do your own.
