Affirmation #4: I open my hart and allow eternal love to live love through me as me right now.
Ali ~ I ask myself: What is eternal love? What does it look and feel like to be love?
Ernest Holmes says, “Love is the self-givingness of the Spirit through the desire of Life to express Itself in terms of creation. Love is a synonym for God. Love is free from condemnation, even as it is free from fear. Love is a cosmic force whose sweep is irresistible.”
The idea of Love, is so enormous; I will attempt to understand it more fully. Eternal love is timeless, never had a beginning and will never end. Eternal love is infinite, not bound by time and space - it is included in, as, and through everything seen and unseen. Eternal love Life Force Energy - it is the Tao, the natural way of Life. It is Body, Mind, and Spirit - The Thing Itself, The Way It Works, What It Does.
Love is who and what and why I am! Sometimes, I don’t seem to remember all this, and I stop operating from an understanding of this Truth, I forget, and I operate from confusion and fear. Michael Beckwith refers to God as Love/Beauty, I like that. I participate in Love/Beauty as I am conscious of my ability to do so, or align with It.
With this understanding, I reexamine the affirmation and my question, “What does it look and feel like to be love?” I am in the small what God is in the large - so I look to the way things are in life for clues. How does Love operate? It has a desire to be, to express. It is in a constant state of change, yet It is always the same. It is irresistible, attractive. It is both logical and illogical. It is unpredictable because it is not bound by person, place, time, situation. It is available to all people but misunderstood by most. I think of the Tao Te Ching (translated by Stephen Mitchell:)
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness
The gateway to all understanding.
I open my hart and allow eternal love to live love through me as me right now.
With my barely acceptable language concerning such an indescribable topic, I conclude:
I will keep my thoughts turned inward to Love/Beauty. I will express myself in ways that communicate my Love/Beauty. I will honor what feels good - what feels life affirming - what feels positive - what feels Holy. I will move away from thoughts, words, people, situations, and circumstances that feel “off” and distract me from being the presence of Love. My love will not stop - but I will not source dead things with my Life Force Energy, I must say “no” when I feel my energy is being drained. I will reexamine my options, and ask, “where is my attention best received? How can I serve and support life?" I will trust my internal guidance - the Tao within, my Higher Self. Where can I grow more Love/Beauty? I will readjust my focus of attention so that I can best give my unique expression of Love.
I am only here for Love, and I share It abundantly, and my life becomes Love/Beauty.
Michael ~ Allowing and surrender, being the presence of the love energy that is who and what we are, but allowing this love to express through me is key.
The same is true when loving another and loving us as a couple. Releasing and surrendering into the eternal love expressing through us, in us, and as us.
