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.

Gilmore Girls vs. The Matrix or Don't Believe The Oracle

  Has anyone ever told you who you are or who you are NOT? Did you believe them? It occurred to me that we are all so effected by what people say - how people label us. Of course, my inspiration for this post was after watching The Matrix again. Because all my inspirations are from movies. Wait until I watch Fletch again. :) In the movie, Morpheus tells Neo that he is the "One" or the one to save the world. He starts to believe him even though he as no evidence to suggest he was the one. Then the Oracle tells Neo he is NOT the one. Now he believes her. Why? Because she is supposed to be the expert. She can foresee the future. It turns out (spoiler alert) he IS the "One." Another good example of the effects of this is illustrated in the TV show, Gilmore Girls. Rory is told by Mr. Huntzberger, the big newspaper man, that she doesn't have what it takes to be a newspaper editor. She quits Yale. So yes, my tastes run from The Matrix to Gilmore Girls, but ...

Better Lover

Sometimes we struggle through our relationships because we feel we are owed something. We withhold love; we withhold affection. We use our love as currency that can only be withdrawn when someone makes a deposit. We wonder why those around us do not give us more of what we want. The ones we love the most, we treat like dirt because...well..."they know what we like, what we need and they don't give it to us." So we don't give them what they need. Growing up, I learned that sex was for marriage. So naturally, getting married meant I could have all the sex I wanted. You marry your spouse and that is "supposed" to be the last and only person you have sex with. TV, movies, etc. teach us that we are not "normal" unless we are having sex at least every day. There is a sexual entitlement that comes with marriage, I think, especially if you are male. If you are not getting what you are entitled to get, then someone is withholding. A man's virilit...

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...
