It’s Friday! Comes around quick doesn’t? Good news – a new topic for you for the week. All to make you more aware, present, mindful, all-seeing, all-knowing, all-great. And veryplayful whilst at it.
Okay? Let’s go … _________
Little Acts of Love - Part 1
Sometimes, we think that we first need to be "full of love" in order to give love. But this attitude makes our experience of love very restricted. It objectifies love as this "thing" we only have access to limited quantities of.
Yet, the more love we give, the more love we experience. Love is unlimited, untangible and always available.
Tap into it. You will see, if you are willing to give it away, that you can't find an end to it.
This week your challenge is to give love. Whenever you see the opportunity for an act of love: Do it, no matter how you feel.
Do not listen to the voice in your head that says you cannot give love right now.
Play, give, serve, be a vessel for the strongest force in the Universe.
Love wants to come out and heal this world. ________
Don’t you love love?
Of course you do … that’s why all the world’s movies, songs, books and wot-nots are all about love. All of them (well mostly all).
The bottom line about our culture’s ideas and beliefs about love?
It’s something you need.
i.e. You need a soul-mate to “complete” you. You have a heart that can be broken. You can lose love.
Like money, you need to invest it wisely. Save it up for the right person!
What if ... and I love the “What If?” question, always:
That was a load of cobblers?
What if, by getting out of your mind you became love? That is never was something you needed, it is something that you are?
Witness a baby ... needs love? Nope. Needs warmth and food and clean nappies and sleep and an education, but not much else.
How loveable is that baby? Oh boy – heart melter, without even trying.
You don't need love, you are it.
That changes things around doesn’t it?
Stops all manner of dependence on other people, on other people behaving a certain way towards you. Freedom!
I know it’s probably not the habitual way of experiencing love, out there in the “real” world (whatever that is).
But what if it could be ... for you?
All you have to do is learn to step outside of your ideas and beliefs around love.
Knowing them, seeing them is the first step. Becoming present – in fact, filled with presence is key. Then these beliefs, thoughts, voices can have no effect on you.
You have the half-step back and no matter what they might say, you knowdifferently.
So -
Give it a go.
How will you know if it works or not unless you do?
Play well! Arjuna
