Love

Article by Michael Christ | Filed Under Love, Spirituality

Love is Life. Love is You. Love is Me. Love is everything. Love is Unity. If there was no Love, there would be no Life for there could not be, as Love is the most essential energy that allows for the existence of existence. Love is the energy that gives rise to everything for it is the Gift of Life. The Gift of Life is the blessing that allows for your existing right now as your awareness of right now is the extension of the Gift from the Universal Source, the Source of Life.To give Love is to give Life. To give Life is to Live. To Live is to Know Truth. To Know Truth is to Be One with that which is Truth. To Be One with that which is Truth is to Be Free.

Begin This Journey With Love

…a story to illustrate

“Presence in You” Michael fingered into his keyboard as he began writing an essay on the importance of Love. “You’re here now, and nowhere else can you Be but Now.”

Almost three linear years had passed since Michael made a choice to let go and let Love guide the vision of what is possible for self and the world. And now, sitting behind a computer, writing these words to the one who is reading them now, he continued, only to express what has been seen as a pathway into true freedom.

Still typing, he thought to himself I wonder what people will think when they read this, will they think it’s clever, maybe they think it’s stupid. He stopped typing for a moment to consider that it might be stupid, then he thought, you know, it doesn’t matter if they do or not, all I can do is be honest in the moment, what happens from that point depends entirely upon the willingness of others to open up to what is presented and see beyond ‘how’ it is being presented.

Finishing that last paragraph, he sat for moment, not typing. His fingers wouldn’t move. He knew his feet were on the floor, yet it felt like he was floating, he didn’t know what to do so he continued to sit until he started writing this paragraph that you are now reading.

In times past, when writing essays, poems or stories, and that floating feeling would overcome the experience, he was always reassured as it was effortless to express.

So he continued on.

“Love? Why Love?” he wrote. “Well, let me ask you this, why not Love? With everything you see in the world, all the wars, the crimes, the hatred, the petty drama we continually fill our lives with, why not Love?”

Huh, he thought to himself, why not Love? It would often happen that when he wrote, he would write something that didn’t feel like it was his thought, much like that last sentence. Why not Love? He thought again, what if all the people in the world actually did meet in the domain of Love, where Love was unconditionally expressed to everyone by everyone, what would the world look like then. I wonder if there would be wars where people needlessly torture other people over insane ideologies. Ah, but anyway, back to writing about the importance of Love…

“So, as you sit there and read these words, and think of all the times where you could have expressed love to your neighbor and didn’t, what were your reasons for not loving your neighbor as yourself?”

Ah, that sounds too much like what Jesus says, maybe I should change… No, I think I leave it; it still pertains.

Seeing that he was thinking too much about what he was writing, he took a moment to stretch. As he came back to the keyboard, his mind was stretched as well, man this is kinda weird writin in third person as I’m writing about writing right now, he thought, oh well, on with it…

As he sat there staring at the keyboard, he remembered earlier that day when he was talking to his brother on the phone and his brother was giving him advice on how to write what he was writing now. Not remembering exactly what his brother said, he paraphrased it for the one reading, “when you’re writing it, there’s only one thing to embrace, and its what you taught me, and that is to transparently express, be open and honest with what you’re teaching and you can never go wrong.”

In remembering that moment from earlier in the day, Michael could see how transparent expression and the importance of love were intimately linked.

“You see, love is to transparency as light is to sun,” he wrote. “Through transparent expression of Self, Love is what is given, for Love is what Self is, not the self that you think you are, but the Self that lives in you as the Unity of All Creation.

“If you do not openly and honestly express that Love, you are denying your own being its Life Source. Life Source is always abundant, always accessible, and always free to the one who gives it. That giving of Life Source is that act of unconditionally loving, and in that act of loving, the petty drama we so often feed to ourselves fades into nothingness and is no longer seen. More than that, it is no longer remembered, for the reasons that brought about the drama in the first place are no longer important, and as such, they are no longer valued by you, the one who gives value to them.

“Love only, and you will only Love, it seems simple I know, and in the simplicity of it is the ease of application. Apply Love to all your actions, all your thoughts, all your memories, all your dreams, all your everything and everything will be seen in the Light of Love.”

At a loss for words, Michael stopped typing. Taking a moment to review those last three paragraphs before he continued, he felt a surge of certainty, and in that he knew the importance of Love he was attempting to convey was indeed captured.

So he moved his focus on to the topic of meditation and how beneficial it can be to a mind caught up in unceasing thought.

Into Love

Smile, You’re Alive…

Take a moment to witness the passage of time. However, see it not as a movement from past to future, see it as one moment in which past a future do not exist.

Right now, you are aware.

You want proof? Are you reading these words?

If you answered yes, then you are most definitely aware.

If you’re not reading words, well, then, you’re not reading these words…

As you sit there, reading these words, your awareness is arising to shine light on what it is that you are aware of.

The key aspect to witness is that your awareness is arising right now. Not in the past and not in the future.

As you sit there reading these words, the awareness that flows into you is the gift that gives Life to your ability to read these words.

That Gift of Life is Love, for it is Love that gives Life.

Just as a man and a woman come together and make love and extend life unto a child, so to does the Source of Life give Love this moment so as to give Life to You.

Deep within that movement of Life is the Love that sustains your eternal Self.

To journey into that movement of Love is to journey into Life where All is revealed to be the Truth that sustains.

Within that Truth is the Freedom of a limit-less existence existing Now.

The images you hold in your mind about who you think you are, are nothing more than images in your mind.

Love flows through the Heart and breathes Life unto that which is Reality.
