Te salva tu amor
--por Michael Damian
El amor es el poder que revela la verdad y conduce nuestra búsqueda de ella. Tal vez te hayas dado cuenta de que si estudias algo profundamente, un animal, una cara, una pieza de música, empiezas a amarlo. Te vuelves uno con ello. Tener este sentimiento de unidad es la más alta expresión de amor. Cuando amas así, trasciendes las distorsiones y ambiciones egoístas que alguna vez contaminaron tu estudio. Un verdadero estudio y dominio de cualquier cosa exige y evoca este amor real.
En el estudio de la existencia, te das cuenta de tu identidad con ella. A medida que se disuelve la división artificial entre tú y el mundo, se descubre que toda la existencia es buena y digna de amor. Todo sentido de separación se ha ido. Hay una conciencia abierta y lúcida que manifiesta la alegría de ser. Cuando estamos contentos, no pensamos en ir a buscar a Dios. En la alegría, nos sentimos ligeros como una pluma, y ​​en esa ligereza, conocemos a Dios y todo lo que vale la pena conocer.
La búsqueda espiritual es para esta condición indivisa. En esta búsqueda, como en todas las cosas, necesitas comprensión y necesitas amor. El camino es trabajar con amor con tu comprensión presente, sabiendo que el amor dirige el trabajo y que ya contiene el objetivo.
Es el amor lo que te impulsa a buscar la comprensión, y cada nuevo paso en la comprensión trae más amor. Cuando careces de comprensión en un momento dado, te salva tu amor, incluso si ese amor llora desesperado. El amor asegura que la revelación con el tiempo llegará como un rayo, y el amor mismo será la luz en él. Así que dale la bienvenida al viento, la tormenta y la lluvia mientras investigas sobre tu verdadera naturaleza. Ellos traen el relámpago del autoconocimiento. Y en un instante contemplarán un cielo y una tierra nuevos, y te conocerás a ti mism@ como siempre has sido.
Preguntas semilla para la reflexión: ¿Qué piensas de ser salvad@ por tu amor? ¿Puedes compartir una historia personal de un momento en que tu amor te salvó? ¿Qué te ayuda a conocerte a ti mism@ como siempre has sido?

6 Past Reflections

 When I stop thinking (no future, no past), and 'being' in the present, I reach within, where there is no pain, no sorrow! Only peace and joy. Only Love, which has no opposite. It is your true self, the Atma. Love is one of the portals through which this liberation is possible.

 In my experience, it is from my deepest moments of despair that I have been lifted to a pure feeling of true love. I think this is why many claim that guardian angels are with us. God, or whatever your word for this love may be, is present at these potent moments as well as in the joyful experiences of bliss for me. Sudden loss of a young friend, end of a long marriage because of addiction and mental illness, unexpected loss of a life I thought I was living.... Through all of my ups and downs the certainty of connectedness becomes my compass for life. Love is more and more present between myself and all sentient beings. We all suffer, we all can tap into love and heal. My fear of the worst that might happen here on earth is substituted for confidence that with love we will all rally and be there for our neighbours and kin in potent love and compassion. Shared suffering is maybe the most potent love of all.

 Shared suffering ... Yes, most potent love of all!  Amen.  Satan wants us to fear the worst might happen.  God wants us to trust in His angels.  Always present.

Love is existence and creation..Loveless there is no life.Love reinstates hope and reassures all is well with the world with so much of its drawbacks and weaknesses.The life force eternal SOUL is nothing but manifested love. And this is in fact our search and spirituality--.our Sadhana & Meditation.It reverberates in all beings all the time everywhere.SriKrishna taught the same knowledge to Arjun and all Saints also found the same in Vedas.In the form of Light is reflected in The Stars and presence felt in the Sun & Moon too. I am alive,saved and moved merely by Love.

 Love is oneness.  In experiencing and realizing oneness with all that is, living and not living, I experience love.  In love I am saved from disconnection, isolation, and fear that accompany lack of love.  Each of us is a unique individual, which we begin to learn at a young age.  It is when we realize that we also are simultaneously part of every other and part of all that is that we experience the oneness that is love.  My love saved me since I came to realize this, and it is a realization and love that keeps deepening.  Becoming experientially married, which happened for me slowly and long after getting legally married, helped me realize oneness that includes individuality, which is love that saves me.  Love or oneness helps me shed surface layers like image, ego, and false self, and get to know my real self that has always been.

 Love is the savior and love is the saved. In love, there is oneness. There is no separation. between doing and being, between subject and object.There are three dimensions of relationship: self -to -self, self-to -other and the one that transcends self and others. It is a transcendental relationship going beyond all man-made boundaries. Love is an experience of oneness. Love experience is a spiritual, a sacred experience. Such experience brings the lightning of self-knowledge. And as Michael Damian says," In a flash you will behold a new heaven and earth, and know yourself as you have always been." In love there is no defeat and no victory. When we have deep feeling of oneness, there is no otherness. The self is the other and the other is the self. I feel such oneness when I am deeply connected with what I read, what I write, or when I listen to music or when I meditate. I feel such joyful oneness when I watch the stars, listen to the rain drops falling , or the birds ... View full comment
