Feeling what we cannot see helps us to keep what we can see in perspective. … More
Only love …
We were born with love. We will die with love. And in between, we need not worry about gaining or losing anything else. … More
Want to connect?
The most important thing you can do to connect on a date (before or after marriage) is simply be real. Make it your priority–do it before you sit down to a seven-course dinner, watch a movie, or exhaust yourself. Look into each other’s eyes, talk from the deepest place inside of you, share what you’re afraid to share, frolic, kiss, snuggle, and be still. Connect!… More
We can remember …
I believe that there is a deep knowing within us. I believe we know the sanctity and oneness of untainted love. I believe we know the peace of our mother’s womb–not merely a physical womb, but a spiritual womb, where all our needs were seamlessly met.
And although this knowing may be lost to our consciousness, it is not lost. I believe we can remember.
I believe we can bring our unconscious knowing into our consciousness … and that we can do that by letting go of our false sense of security.
The human fear that launched our clinging is the only thing that can keep us from remembering that love is all we need.… More
Share interests to grow understanding and acceptance …
When’s the last time you tried something HE (or she) likes to do? Oh, and when’s the last time you grumbled because HE was doing it by himself?
Behavioral intimacy, or how much you like to do together, is one measure of compatibility. And you don’t really know if you like to jog, or golf, or play poker if you haven’t given it a fair chance. Try on his interests and enjoy the aspects that you CAN appreciate. You’ll learn more about what speaks to him, pleases him, energizes him, and relaxes him. You’ll also understand him better, which grows more love and acceptance.
If you’re thinking, “Yeah right, like he’s going to take me jogging,” ask yourself why he wouldn’t. Maybe he assumes you’re not inclined to jog, because YOU have assumed you’re not. Why?
Then, think about what you would absolutely love to do and invite him to join you. If he declines, you can suggest an alternative, or do it without him. He might surprise you by accepting your invitation … and posing his own. If you want an invitation, don’t nag or complain; just give him one! Stay in touch with what nurtures you — physically, mentally, or spiritually — and share it.… More
The other side of fear …
What we really want is love on the other side of fear. It’s the love we knew before we were old enough to feel threatened by separation and rejection. Until we reclaim that love, pure love, we’re motivated by our defensive ego.
Pure love is the force for good. It has no self-serving agenda, no degrees or deviation. It is passion and peace. It is responsibility and freedom, strength and tenderness, rock solid and transparent. It is defenseless and invincible! It is neither pride nor shame. It is fearless, unifying, compassionate, and healing.
It is mine, yours, nobody’s, and everybody’s. It can’t be seen, or touched, or quantified; but it is everywhere. It is everything. It is the only thing that matters.
Let’s reclaim our birthright of pure love … and live life on the other side of fear.… More
