Assets & Liabilities Love June 26, 2010 Love is a blessing and an asset! The word ‘love’ is often used as a trap exercised on the negative side to manipulate, dominate and control. Love, in all but a few lives, seems to be like a credit card thats been abused with hollow promises of ‘making it up later’. Perhaps ‘love amnesia’ takes over as the ‘hollow I love you’s’ pile up along with demonstrations of forgetfulness to keep total focus on the assets. Fixing another is impossible even with love. Only the full active intent to banish negative habits and characteristics ‘by the individual’ will uncover even a scent of love. Making love unleash itself where discord and lack of harmony persist is like climbing a mountain in the middle of winter in tennis playing attire. Assets are essentially nullified by persistent ‘liabilities’ that go uncorrected, or even without heartfelt attempts to correct them. A sample of infinite examples would be of the priest who serves hundreds in the name of God yet is discovered to molest little boys. The assets are nullified by the liabilities. All liabilities that can be corrected from someone who declares love, but are not, corrupts the meaning of the word ‘love’. All that is ill in humans can be corrected by genuine love. Not being able to share one’s being is a misery that evokes itself in innumerable physical, mental, and emotional suffering illnesses. The highest form of love is compassion. The lowest form is sex. Compassion is therapeutic for the soul. Refined passion becomes compassion for the other with no expectation of return. Giving love is to have compassion for the receiver in giving from the heart that which gives to their receptive heart. To live on love mixed with negativities is at the lowest rungs of love at best. Compassion for the other is the therapy to dissolve and heal wounds. To heal love gone astray one needs an awareness of responsibility to have compassion for the inner qualities that the other so richly deserves to experience.  You are no less than the ‘god’ in human form!  Ask yourself what a compassionate God would do and fulfill that. Love on crutches, while filled with all forms of negativity, is not going to blossom, but remain broken like the billions who’ve come before you have too left the world without attaining the blessing of the richness of love shared with anyone. Love is the one thing all can give in the form of compassion regardless of any status in life, rich or poor, educated or uneducated. Focus on the inner love before the love of the outer.

Trapped by Love

June 25, 2010
The ‘worst love’ is the love that you can’t even find respect for it’s memory, not to mention, it’s continuing fulfillment. The ‘rumors’ that love is the best thing in life to seek and fill oneself with, are true!  Love’s hurts are loves’s opportunities to find it within. “Fools love’ is a hard pill to swallow, but is love that changes it’s mind to what amounts to a state of mirage. To be what’s called ‘successful’ is nearly always prompted by a passion for doing what’s necessary for it’s outcome. Love needs letting go of all obstacles.

There are levels of love. One who experiences it deeper than another in a partnership is fine as long as the other is growing deeper. One growing in love deeper without the union of the other in tandem, is like a tennis pro playing a neophyte – it’ll be hard for the accomplished player to continuing to play at the beginners level, and yet hard for the beginner to maintain interest in playing with someone who exhausts their energy of keeping up.

Sustaining a hight quality of love is not going to happen for the person who abuses themselves with unresolved issues. Two people having difficulty loving themselves often end up trapping each other in an endless cycle of ‘patchwork love’ that never reaches the peaks of the beginning. Love is a peak of consciousness and can become ‘flatlined’, or left to time’s natural erosions. They occur when love doesn’t receive energizing, dissipating into a ‘functional semblance’ of the memories of what was once.

Love gets abused by the ‘love abuser’ who seeks substitutes from the outside, thinking (?) it will bring satisfaction when no one can get any satisfaction for more than a few days by letting mental chaos take over their lives. The ‘ego’ brainwashes’ love away thinking it has nothing to do with it. Transgressing into some of the seven deadly sins, be they greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony, or anger, they each act to sour love’s virtues. These habits can be replaced by infinite love’s virtues from compassion, giving, sensitivity, empathy, positivity, self knowing, converting challenges into assets or solutions, and on and on. Love denied can be an unforgiving trap! Always find ways to rise in love!
