I often wondered about the nature of love. We can love our friends, children, parents, and of course our intimate partner.\u00a0 Can you really say I love this child more<\/em><\/strong> than that child? This friend more<\/strong><\/em> than that one? What are we comparing exactly when each individual is unique? Spirituality & Love are not a competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\u201cYou are together because you resonate on the same wave lengths, you fit together vibrationally\u2026you are not the source of each other\u2019s Love.\u00a0 You are helping each other to access the LOVE that is the Source.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

~Robert Burney<\/p>\n

You<\/em><\/strong> may like certain qualities, feel closer to one than another, but isn\u2019t that about your<\/em><\/strong> experience, not who they are? The nature of love as Shakespeare wrote is an \u2018ever-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

Love itself is the embodiment of that connection that is 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

Recognize when your EGO<\/em><\/strong> is at work 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 love <\/em><\/strong>or 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

When do you feel authentically connected<\/em><\/strong> to someone? \u00a0When you are connected to the 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. We are all connected through \u201cSource\u201d to each other.<\/p>\n

When you are vibrating at a high level<\/strong><\/em>, you attract similar vibration people, and experience Spirituality &<\/em> love<\/em> <\/strong>more fully. Ever notice who the complainers, and toxic energies attract? The Ego \u201cEdges God Out<\/em><\/strong>\u201c, and takes you away from love. If you choose to be selfish<\/em><\/strong>, you are living in fear of lack<\/em><\/strong> not abundance<\/em><\/strong>. If you choose to be critical\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>or\u00a0judgmental<\/em><\/strong>, you are living in fear of I need to find fault<\/em><\/strong> or be superior<\/em><\/strong> to you, which\u00a0condemns<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We thrive in the connections that allow us to grow<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0Who teaches us the most, but our children? When do we feel most disconnected<\/em><\/strong> from our partner? When we are not growing together. \u00a0We may be accomplishing new things, but it can feel empty with a lack of passion, purpose, and meaning when we cannot share in the experience our\u00a0being expanding\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>that is behind all the doing.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The secret to experiencing the incredible thing we call spirituality & love<\/em><\/strong> is found when you learn to move away from your ego, and towards a state of being<\/em><\/strong> that is loving. This is spiritual growth, and it\u00a0is a fundamental part of our existence because it is who we are, and meant to become \u2013 loving human beings<\/em><\/strong>. It gives us the connection<\/em><\/strong> we all deserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake my hand and lead me to salvation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take my love for love is everlasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

And remember the truth that once was spoken<\/strong><\/p>\n

To love another person\u00a0is to see the face of God.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n
