Loosening the Lies of LOVE … Lie #09 (12/22/12)
Lie #09: We have been told that, “Love requires a balance of give & take”…
… and yet in Truth: LOVE is a Giving thing, and a Giving thing alone.
For when we take, we cannot be Giving, and when we Give, a taking dare not be born. And once we understand this to be the case – once we comprehend that the experience of pure Giving is the greatest Joy knowable to sentient kind, THEN we can choose to Receive from others, knowing as we do so that such a “taking” allows those Giving to us to know this far greater Bliss. Of course, once this Truth has been enlivened, there is no more “taking” at all … Giving & Receiving become ONE.
“Love expects no reward. Love knows no fear. Love gives – does not demand. Love thinks no evil; imputes no motive. To Love is to share and to serve.” ~ Sivananda
