Love is oneness

When does 1 + 1 = 1? When you are talking about love. Love is oneness. Love is a very esoteric concept, which is why I am writing this. But love is for everyone and should be a very exoteric concept. You don't have to be educated or rich to love. You are born in oneness. You are the product of 1 and 1 coming together. From your very conception, you are not alone. You, for nine months are actually physically inside your mother. The birthing process is a separation that makes us long for that closeness again.

How do you explain what love is? Love has so many facets and nuances that it is hard to explain in words. "Love is all you need. Love is a many splendored thing. All is fair in love. Love conquers all. (Love) is an ever-fixed mark, that looks on tempests and is never shaken." Beautiful bumper stickers, for sure, but they don't explain anything. My definition is oneness. Think of the number 111 (one eleven). It is three numbers, equal in value. When you put them together, you get one number. That is love. Equal and together. Oneness.

When you are "in love" you feel this attraction to someone. That attraction is the manifestation of your soul's need for closeness or oneness with another. Somehow there is a connection. That connection wants to connect more. You feel this invisible force field between you like two magnets pointed towards each other. When you are together you feel like you have never been apart. When one of you leaves to go out of town, the longing to be together can be unbearable at times.

It is amazing how natural this oneness is. When you are on the treadmill next to someone else, you will notice that your rhythms will start to match. Women who work together will find their periods will align. If you look in nature you will see a lot of things that align and connect.

The entire world is a metaphor or even a microcosm of what love is on a grander scale. Look at your own body. You have billions of cells and micro organisms all crammed together. When you look under a microscope you see so many individuals, but to the naked eye, you are but one person. Remove a limb and you will long for it back, I assure you. From an airplane, a city is a singularity, but from the ground it is full of separate people. Our maps all have boundaries of state lines and countries, but from space we are one blue planet. It is like a Seurat painting. Up close, it is a bunch of colored dots, but back up and you see a beautiful park.

We are one through love. Love is our need for oneness. We need to connect. That is why when we are "in love" we hold hands and kiss and snuggle. If you are ever feeling like your love is fading, just touch. Make a connection. You can recharge your love in a relationship simply by touch.

Dual nature

It occurred to me today that I have to start this practicing love if I am going to get any better at it. So I set about to only think good thoughts about people today. It was apparently too lofty a goal for me today. Whatever you practice, you do. I don't know why we continue to practice hate, anger, sadness, frustration, jealousy, etc. It comes out. We seem to gravitate to it. Someone says, "Did you hear what she said?" and we perk up and hope it's juicy. "She is such a horrible person!" we may continue. We love this for some reason. Maybe it's because of the same genes that make us laugh every time someone falls down. Anyway, whatever the reason, it is something to fight against. But I don't want to say fight against, because that too has a negative connotation. It is something to supplant. You see we have two natures, human and spirit. I don't care what religion you practice or don't. You have to feel this spirit within you or recogniz...

GIVE PERMISSION

"PEOPLE REALLY PISS ME OFF!" Have you ever said/thought that? Some days it seems like the world is against us. But the truth of the matter is, the people in the world are not thinking about you much at all. That !@#$%^&*ing person that cut you off on freeway was just doing what they needed to do for themselves. The perception that the person was trying to maliciously scoot in front of you to cause you to slam on your brakes and threaten your life is no more true than the opposite of that. That is right. Both the worst truth and the best truth exist at the same time. Let me explain.Your experience of the truth happens entirely in your brain. You write a play, cast the characters, give them rich histories and endow them with emotions...in your mind. This happens with everything. Since you don't have all the facts, you fill in facts based on your experience, your instincts, your emotions. This is creative energy. Have you ever seen the test that looks like this: Aro...

We don't always equate eating with love. Oh, many of us "love" eating, but how about preparing dinner for friends? There is nothing more lovely than to make a meal for someone. In my last post, my musing about love-only thoughts brought me to making breakfast. As a child, we take food for granted. "What are we having for dinner?" "Liver!" "Awwww, Mom! I eating at Larry's." Last night I attended a dinner party at my dear friends' house. We have gone to several of these 'wine-tasting' themed parties at their house. They are wonderful! With love on my mind, I saw this outing with new eyes. Two of the guests had brought martini makings. Molly and Tom had planned a unique recipe. Molly volunteered to alter the drink in any way that might be more pleasing-more alcohol, less, etc. Meanwhile, Tom was carefully threading candied ginger, a peeled slice of lime and a leaf of basil on a paper umbrella to garnish the drink. The two of ...
