Deafening Love
Nov. 1, 2014
Love at some point after time in a relationship usually gets set adrift where except for ‘peak’ moments, it experiences a loss of hearing, seeing, feeling, and you can’t beg, borrow, or steal the sensitivity of feeling the heart anytime, anywhere, and anyhow. Love can become extinguished and discharged into a mental memory … at best.
Love needs the ‘pulp’ or flotsam filtered out of it to be fully lit. You are an accumulation of your background. A youth background that reinforced elements of love without neglect or the intrusion of trauma is a leap ahead of most in the journey to deeper love if so desired. However, most childhoods are mixed with fun, pain, crying, laughter, curiosity, disappointment, apathy, insecurities, fear, hurt, hopes, and love to one degree or another.
The thinking that occupies you as standards of your life, spark your neuro-chemical dynamic processes, hence governing your choices and actions. Thoughts spark emotions which drive actions or not and vice versa with emotions giving juice to thoughts. Negative thinking is self perpetuating activating neurological centers with positive or negative body responses/reactions. Without making a conscious intentions to change the negative ‘habits’, they tend to be self perpetuating.
There are only 2 paths in life to reach the high elevations of consciousness and love. One is through meditation, evolving into the peaks of love. The second is going directly in to love by being focused on all necessities to rise into a state of love. The modern being is more attuned to the ‘love’ path than meditation, but not to exclude both together. One is ‘alone’, the other with two as one. However most are off being too busy with this and that, or stuck on the limits of a ‘belief system’ which is limiting to deep inner love.
If you don’t have the life and relationships that you want, you are not likely to possess the thinking patterns you need to create the optimal emotional states, and thus actions, that would sustain your momentum in the overall direction of your aspirations. Let your heart enter into all personal connections with common sense and awareness always looking and acting on the highest possibilities in all situations. ‘Love emotion’ typically tends to flatten into a weak love that becomes harder to see, hear, feel, and ‘be’ if the mind keeps replaying old negative information.
Use the mind as a positive guide when it’s needed. Otherwise, merge with the heart energy rising through ‘compassion and giving’, distancing you from the barnacles in the mind that don’t belong together with love. Two people bonding in clear states of mind will rise to a universe of love, creating the new woman and man. Love inside you, for you, is your best friend. Its source is in you. It will follow you whatever you do and wherever you go.
