LOOK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION

Learning to love is not about learning to love others.

It is especially not about learning to love another for that is just transference of feelings onto another in hopes that that one will make us feel whole, complete, right, better than we are...than you are. In short, seeking for someone to love is the ego's search for someone else to make us feel good 100 percent of the time day and night 24/7 forever and ever.

Learning to love is to look in the opposite direction...realizing there is nothing to learn.  Love is simply  opening ourselves to let the sun within shine out.

It, love, is a power, already within us/without us. When we let that power flow forth, we detach from our fear-based self interests, accepting that which we fear is in our self interest. By walking toward it, arms outstretched in welcome, we find that it is not coming toward us, it is coming from us. 

It is love...love of rabbits and rattlesnakes and rusted-out cars, tiaras, tears and track meets...and all in between, in front, behind, beside, within, without...it is love and it is everywhere.

There is no place we can be that love is not...which does us no good at all until we become willing to give up all hope of ever getting love, still willing to give love anyway. We find we want to give love more than we want to get love. Which is when we get it.

Thank You.
