Loosening the Lies of LOVE … Conclusion (12/12/12)
An ODE to True LOVE …
LOVE cannot betray because it does not possess, and LOVE cannot be captured because it overflows all captivity. Indeed, anyone who attempts to imprison LOVE will themselves be locked away – cut off from the very Source they seek to master. For LOVE is the element of elements … an infinite energy distributed smoothly within all matter and throughout all space & time. LOVE must not be looked for or found, for LOVE simply IS – both the seeker, and that which is sought.
And as such, LOVE cannot cling or yearn or hope or trust … It has no desires or goals or expectations … LOVE knows no commitments, fulfills no obligations, upholds no contracts and maintains no promises … It erects no boundaries, nor seeks any balance.
Rather, LOVE simply Loves … It revels in serving others and thinks nothing of relieving their burdens … LOVE simply Loves – and feels honored to be able to do so … It comes from the Heavens, and yet Here&Now it forever remains … It comes unasked, and it remains forever, unencumbered.
LOVE simply Loves … It expects no reward, and thus, is rewarded abundantly … It knows no fear, and thus, is completely fearless … It gives without demanding a return, and thereby receives everything.
It has been said that to Love others we must first Love ourselves …
And yet of those so believing, LOVE smiles gently and calmly asks,
“How can you truly Love your Self without Caring for the downtrodden?
How can you truly Love your Self by shunning those in need?”
And we – like LOVE itself – already know its answer: We cannot!
For to Care for others IS the only way to truly Love one’s Self … All other forms of “love” but mirage & delusion.
So let us choose a LOVE unconditional … Let us let our LOVE pour forth from our Hearts as a warmth unquenchable – as a soft Light that penetrates all darkness; as a humming Harmony that subtly soothes … Let us sing its sweet melodies & dance its subtle rhythms. Let us engage every fiber of our being to magnify LOVE and polish it ever onward towards its innate Essence, infinitely radiant.
And let us remember that real LOVE never dies; that every act of gentleness & Kindness & Compassion is eternal and ageless … Let us remember that even when our LOVE is rejected — that even in those darkest of moments, a spark of LOVE’s perfect Soul always lingers … And let us remember that no matter how dampened & weakened it might seem, that same strong LOVE always resides within us thereafter; quietly waiting to be reborn – strong & vibrant — into our next moment of boldness.
So sing your LOVE to the Heavens like a prayer never-ending;
and dance your LOVE to others like a worship beyond your time.
Make LOVE your life … Fill your whole Being with a selflessness that scintillates Caring & Compassion. Feel yourself swaying, smoothly intertwined with everything that surrounds you; floating calmly in your ocean of ONE …
When sitting alone in your room … Be LOVE.
When walking down your street … Be LOVE.
When passing by your strangers … Be LOVE.
When hanging with your friends … Be LOVE.
When attacked by your enemies … Be LOVE.
Do so and you will feel something fresh & new rebirthe within you; a warmth that rises slowly yet steadily from your Heart; a warmth that gently envelops everything both near and far … a warmth that brings you back to Who you have always Been … a warmth that brings you back to God.
So sway & tumble joyously within the waves of this newfound Sea of Solidarity … Dance & sing & soak your whole Being in its splendors soft & new.
And, most importantly of all, remember that you need never strive or struggle to rediscover true LOVE …
For once we get ourselves out of the way,
… it is LOVE itself that does the finding.
Amen … Let it be so.

“Love is patient; Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not self-seeking … and keeps no record of wrongs … It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres … Love never fails.” ~ Paul (Corinthians 13:4-8)
