The nature of love as Shakespeare wrote is an \u2018<strong><em>ever-fixed mark<\/em><\/strong>\u2019. It\u2019s your own consciousness of love that alters who you love, and how you experience the joy, and ecstasy of love.<\/p>\n<p>Love itself is the embodiment of that connection that is<strong><em> eternal, abundant, and without conditions<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0There is a high resonance WITHIN when we are vibrating at this higher place. How do we get there?<\/p>\n<p>Recognize when your <strong><em>EGO<\/em><\/strong> is at work <strong><em>making you wrong<\/em><\/strong> with the emotions you are feeling because of the thoughts \u00a0you choose to hold. You are either in the perspective of <strong><em>love <\/em><\/strong>or<strong><em> fear<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(power or force) with the lens you see through. It affects the spiritual energy you give and receive from others.<\/p>\n<p>When do you feel <strong><em>authentically connected<\/em><\/strong> to someone? \u00a0When you are connected to the <strong><em>light<\/em><\/strong> of who you really are.\u00a0We have a light within us \u2013 a God fragment, if you will, that is connected to a higher power \u2013 God, the Universe.
