Merry Meet To All,
The experience of Love flows through us all, but depending on what
aspect of our self is dominating us is how we will perceive it.
Every Individual has their own perspective of Love.
Real universal Love exists in our higher selves and cannot help but
be a part of us, for it is part of All That Is. It pervades us at
the highest level, and all the way down through our lowest body,
the sub-self, which is where real Love is least felt and
understood.
If we were to start from the bottom up, the sub-self is the basis
component of the Love perception. It is highly filtered and animal
in nature. If words were to be likened to this level of perception
it would be: possessive, dominant, sexual, protection, and a "Few
Versus Many" potential for expressing it. We are attracted to the
opposite sex (or same sex, in some cases) who unleash the sub-self
sexual energy within. This can lead to sexual obsession and a
fanatical belief that this is Love. Its never "Real Love"!
As we move away from the sub-self body, we enter the emotional body
and our experience and perception of Love is wracked with the highs
and lows that come with this body. We can be moody and jealous, and
our personal self worth is dependant on how the object of our Love
is treating us at the time. We are High with their acceptance and
approval, and Low with their rejection and scorn. The combination
of the emotional and sub-self bodies are what most of society
operates under as their pretext of "Love."
As a person evolves into the mental body, or self, they aren't so
focused on the physical side of Love. They are more objective in
their approach, but still can suffer the thrills and tragedy of the
emotional body. These are often the great poets, who transcend the
physical side of Love into more of an ethereal view of it. However,
when scorned, the mental perspective can be associated with
judgment, criticism, guarded, and become too analytical. Walls can
be built that block off both the emotional body and the higher
self. The mental mind can have its own critical agenda of what a
person should be before Love is bestowed on them.
But alas, the soul's perception of Love evolves into the higher
self, a perfect state. Here the person is farthest away from the
sub-self and traits of that body are negligible, or non-existent.
They are not riddled with roller coaster feelings of the emotional
body because their Love extends to all and is without conditions.
It doesn't matter if the Love is returned, for that would be a
condition. While the Love of the higher self has the components of
the analytical mind, no walls are formed if rejected, nor is
Compassion and Love reserved only for the supposed worthy. The
close reminder of this in our society is what a good parent may
feel towards their child. As far as a mate, it is so rare that two
people can reach this state at the same time, that witnessing this
on this plane of existence is seldom.
We can know where we are at in this evolution by our actions. Are
we Jealous and Clingy? Do we have Walls that Inhibit the flow of
Love from the higher self? Are we chasing an inappropriate mate
based on their Looks and Sex Appeal? What do we seek? What do we
really want in our heart?
To Love people unconditionally does not mean that you agree with
their behavior. Nor does it mean that you have to respect their
decisions. This is entirely separate. Unconditional Love is
Accepting them Regardless of their poor decisions or unproductive
behavior. When you start to Love Unconditionally, you will know it.
You will exist in a stream of pure energy that extends to all those
around you. You will be unfettered with cloying emotions, yet can
partake in them if you like. You can enjoy a partner sexually, but
the perception of Love during that experience will be unfiltered
and from the highest source.
To me, Unconditional Love, when viewed from the higher self, is
Total Freedom. Love Free & Stay Free...
Blessed Be,
Oceanos
