454. How The Quest For Love Turns Evil
Since one theory about love is that love is everything, it’s everywhere, and that we’re simply too distracted, confused or complicated to see it/perceive it, one may consider that the entirety of our existence, in some way shape or form, is a quest for or of love.
I do feel that love is the primary driver behind why we do things, why we are the way we are, so on and so forth. Keep in mind that love is an umbrella over several things such as connection, beauty and more. No matter what drives you, we’re all hoping and wishing at the end of the day for joy and happiness. We may ultimately be inhibited by our fears or past traumas, but, ideally, it’s love.
Another key consideration is that love isn’t always between people. Love is between oneself, with animals, with places, with energies, and more. As we know, love transcends the physical, particularly when our loved ones pass, so love is not only timeless but pervasive. Just because someone ceases to exist in your periperal vision, everyday life, routine and more, does not mean that your connection and love is disintegrated.
If only we could be more conscious or perceive love in a common language where we can all step up to the place, be vulnerable and acknowledge/admit our desire for love. This would allow us to not just be honest with ourselves, but to allow ourselves to have truth in what we are looking for, gaining, perceiving, moving forward with and aligning to.
Wat brings you love or what brings you to love will look different for everyone. I do feel that our internal “compass” is constantly guiding us, despite our inability to follow route, to pull off on the side of the road, to get gas, etc. Maybe to take an alternate route. But we’re all trying to get there at the end of the day. To the vibration, the enlightening, the awakening, so on and so forth.
Many people forget that the journey to love is one within ourselves. Even receiving the love from others, we cannot do so in its strongest, most purest form, if we do not love ourselves. As our blocks and boundaries to love prevent it from going in… and out.
When we overcomplicate the concept of love, we turn it into a want or game. In other words, I sit here today, and I demand from the universe to “give” me love. Well, that’s inherently impossible because I am the only one to actually give myself love. It is true that others can offer or provide us their feelings of love, or their unique expressions of love, but to actually feel it is to embody it. To feel love is simply to have others ignite the spark of love already within us. Not for it to be delivered to us, as if on a silver platter. Consider it like a delicious meal. It is true that we’ve received a delicious meal, but the only thing allowing us to taste, smell and digest such a meal is our ability to inherently believe it, perceive it, and accept it. Without us, there is no appreciation, no adoration, no desire, no nothing. We are the conduits of energy, ourselves. Without us… there’s no real “meal”. There’s just a plate of food. This is a similar concept to that of the “home” vs. a house.
When we demand love from the universe, we expect everything to be given to us, to come to us. As a result, our desire fr love is truly only the desire for others to give and sacrifice themselves to provide an over-inundation, over-abundance and over-exhausted approach to giving. They will ultimately live forever and ever, but there wil be no receipt. Both parties will ultimately be disappointed and drained, and still never have being able to truly give or receive love.
When we walk throughout the world only taking and receiving (and not giving), we not only use up other energetic resources and not provide on our own, but we ultimately become lonely and sad, as there will be absolutely nothing which exists on this earth which will satisfy us, gratify us, or again, show us the true meaning of love.
Whatever your “true” meaning of love is, is inherently unique to you. That is the beauty of it. If everyone’s perception or experience of love were the same, we wouldn’t have this quest t now it, to experience it and to inhabit it. All the time, we’re triggering each other for us to get to know each other’s own true definition, feeing and relationship to our own love. It’s often times a hurtful and painful process, but it ultimately works.
Remember that before you drain the resources of the word, and inherently, become “evil”, you already have what you’re looking for. Maybe it’s deep down, maybe it’s abandoned, broken, lost or other, but it’s still always there. Just waiting to be recognized.
