RETURNING TO LOVE-II: (Part 4b) - Why did we leave love? (Blocks to love)


        Why Did We Leave Love?


                          


It is very difficult to remember why we would have made a choice to abandon love, our purpose, and our authentic being. In fact, very few are able to actually remember this choice without the assistance of a Guide, or Counsellor. It was, for each of us, a place of woundedness, heartbreak, and trauma. So much so that it felt like a place of death, or a temptation to die. In essence, we not only gave up our connection to love, but also our vital link to our Innocence, and our value as a Gift to Life.

It is at this point that our ego begins to develop, and to take over the basic job of our survival. Since we believe we are no longer connected to the Source of all that Is, (the Creator, God, a "Higher Power', if you will), because we chose to separate, we now find ourselves alone and on our own, and our ego literally becomes our sole/soul source. 


"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:

The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,

                      Hath had elsewhere its setting,
                      And cometh from afar:
                      Not in entire forgetfulness,
                      And not in utter nakedness,
                      But trailing clouds of glory do we come
                      From God, who is our home...'
                                                                       William Wordsworth


Where once we came bearing gifts of light and love, "trailing clouds of glory", connected through love to our Source, now "Shades of the prison-house begin to close", we are now left struggling for our very existence, trapped in a world that doesn't know who we are or even care.

                                



   

"The shift from Fear to Love, is literally, a "Miracle", and nothing short of it. It is a beautiful moment of gentle vulnerability and sweet Surrender in a place flowing with Grace and Love, where we once thought we had died, and would surely die again, only to discover it as a place of Re-Birth and of Resurrection, born again in Innocence through the Miracle of Love.

              Why Did We Leave Love?   In the truest sense of the word, Love would never hurt, if we continued to love through whatever circumstance was presenting itself. Indeed the very term we use, unconditional Love, is redundant, since Love implies unconditionality. So, really we are rarely ever living or experiencing Love in its truest sense.  We continually hear people blaming love for their pain. It does get painful if we stop loving right in the middle of a rejection or a betrayal. That is what we do though, withdraw our love, as if the fault was in the loving. Indeed it is easier said than done ... to love someone. And we do need to learn how to love, because, in the absence of love we are left with only fear, emptiness and separation. It isn't even that we have no love to offer, we are born as emmissaries of love, we are living channels of love. It is in our soul to express love. However, when we become so focused on our own person...

RETURNING TO LOVE-1: An Invitation To "Choose Once Again"

CHOOSING ONCE AGAIN Perhaps, one of the most difficult things to discover as we get older is that there is something of value that we may have missed along the way. Something important. Realizing we may have overlooked something important along the way can be a challenging experience. It's often one of the single most difficult things to come to terms with as we grow older. It's never easy to discover that there's something valuable we missed and may have overlooked as we journeyed through life. In fact, for many, it is easier to deny and dismiss this reality and simply carry on as if nothing had been missed at all. Life, however, can change all that in an instant when we find ourselves up to our neck in the middle of some form of crashing circumstance or "accidental" occurrence that is  taking place within our reality and is causing us concern. It could be anything, a fall, a change in the condition of our health, a car "accident", a personal loss and y...
