Stop looking for a girl/boy-friend!

Now just relax, and send your loving heart out into the universe and let it harmonize with all corresponding loving hearts that are being sent there by the sweet girls and tender hearted boys out there who you didn't notice before, while you were looking for the wrong one.

Now if you pay attention, the right person will miraculously appear before you.. The question is, will you put away your prejudices and accept reality?

Hearts in harmony are much more important than money, or beauty, or sexuality, which, of course, are the primary prejudices.

A loving heart will carry you farther than 1st class tour tickets.
A caring heart will soften the ride more than a Mercedes S350.
A kind heart will earn more rewards than a big bank account.

I would say 'good luck,' but what you need is a miracle, not good luck. So, use your inner love to call for one. Then pay attention. What you need is in the heart of someone who will come into your life right when you need them to. Not necessarily when you want them to.

The window opened, and I fell through, falling into the whiteness. Sounds roaring from all directions stunned me and confused me. I fell, and fell, and... floated into silence.

I Looked into the dimming whiteness and made out shadowed movement. There were colorless wheels spinning within wheels, within other colorless wheels. Their orbits crossed at seemingly random or coincidental times and places. I saw streams of energy entering the wheels at random moments and from various directions, sometimes in the same direction of the wheel, sometimes counter to it.

I felt pulses or shock wave emanating from the center of the wheels and move past me. The energy within the wheels flowed past me back into the world I had left behind. I looked back and saw it change reality like a prism changes light. I watched it change the world in ways miraculous, and I knew in that instant that it was our love wherein the fruit of the miracle first found sustenance, and set down its roots. Human love was the motivation for everything I could see.

The wheels were vibrating with the energy of our lives, the momentum of our thoughts, the deepest beliefs in our hearts, our reactions to our life experiences, and resonate also to the thoughts and emotions about us within others. I knew then that we were connected in ways deeper than any philosopher had imagined or prophesy had revealed.

I could feel the love of those I had left behind in time and space. I could feel the love of those who had died, years and lifetimes ago. I could feel the estrangement of those I had wronged or whom thought I had wronged them. I could feel the love of those I would befriend in the future! Time and space were irrelevant... Those were purely human concepts. They made no difference. Beliefs mattered. Truth mattered. Hope mattered. Faith mattered. Fear mattered. Fear fought everything, stopped everything, killed everything. Like a mass of ravenous fish it consumed almost everything it touched. Almost. The power of love passed through fear like it didn't exist, leaving a calmness, a peace and warmth behind.

The joy I felt stopped my heart, my breath, my resistance, and I gave myself up to the knowing.

As I died, I felt a breath enter my lungs, and my eyes opened. The room was dark and silent. I lay in my own bed, feeling as if I was floating on a cool cloud. The comforting sound of a light rain murmured and whispered in the leaves on the familiar tree outside my open window. My body felt rested, released, empty. I tried to remember everything. But it was only the memory of memories of... most of it was fading... gone.

But the reality of it remained. It had not been a dream. Then I remembered a face that had smiled upon me and laughed at something I had said, no, something that I would say, sometime in the future: your face.

Have you ever been 'In Love?'

Science has dissected 'love' into three (verifiable) fractions:
1) Lust (the craving for sexual gratification), driven by androgens and estrogens;
2) Attraction (or romantic or passionate love, characterized by euphoria when things are going well, terrible mood swings when they’re not, focused attention, obsessive thinking, and intense craving for the individual), driven by high dopamine and norepinephrine levels and low serotonin;
and
3) Attachment (the sense of calm, peace, and stability one feels with a long-term partner) driven by the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin.

I can't verify it, by I think love is a force of nature that is responsible for miracles. What goes on in my brain is often misleading, especially to me! I don't think it is any of their business!

But, if the scientists do figure out the chemical nature of love, I still don't believe that they will know what it is. It is the same as saying that a diamond is just carbon.

At first I failed my search for sleep,
and in my bed I tightly curled,
not knowing when a sleep so deep
took me gently around the world.

I thought I heard you calling,
and found my soul, through clouds was flying!
I wondered why I was not falling,
tumbling, screaming, crashing dying?

I could hear a thunder drumming,
and see an angel singing for us.
I just knew my death was coming,
and prepared to join the chorus!

But no! The thunder was inside my heart.
This was a beautiful second chance.
This dream would not tear us apart.
We would continue our loving dance.

I flew down, the wind was howling,
carried by an angel's wing,
down through forests dark and growling,
to alight, a new born king.

Sharing!

An elderly couple visit McDonalds. He orders one hamburger, one order of french fries and one drink.
The old man unwraps the plain hamburger and carefully cuts it in half.
He places one half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counts out the french fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placing one pile in front of his wife.
He takes a sip of the drink, his wife takes a sip and then sets the cup down between them.
As he begins to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them keep looking over and whispering.
You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."
As the man begins to eat his fries a young man comes to the table.
He politely offers to buy another meal for the old couple.
The old man says they are just fine - They are used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people notice the little old lady hasn't eaten a bite.
She sits there watching her husband eat and occasionally takes turns sipping the drink.
Again the young man comes over and begs them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman says "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."
As the old man finishes and is wiping his face neatly with the napkin,
the young man again comes over to the little old lady who has yet to eat a single bite of food and asks
"What is it you are waiting for?"







She answers....






(This is great)







"THE TEETH."

A friend Redredrose said that in cyberlove, appreciation comes before love. I agree. But I think the same is true in the 'real' world as well. I think her blog has given me a better appreciation of what 'Falling in love' means. When you get to know someone over time and gradually bond with them and love them, I don't believe that you can say you 'fell in love with them.' But you love them deeply and know them well.

Falling in love is the emotional response to the personal appreciation you have of someone. It can happen very quickly. You may not know the person very well. But there is something about them that you both value and feel inside. There is a momentum that is shocking. Warmly shocking as opposed to a jump in cold water shocking. Everything they do is more important to you and every new insight into their personality has an important emotional effect on you.

The saying 'It takes two to tango.' applies in loving relationships. Mutual appreciation is a dance well played by two. It is a long process - getting to know someone. On the other hand, falling in love - although best played by two, can be a game of solitaire.

Many people waste their time with negative emotions. They seem to - if not actually to enjoy them - at least to revel in them. When they are sad, they are very very sad. When they are angry, they are very very angry... They turn their thoughts inward and kill their dreams or outward and kill ours.

So, someone asked how to do what I advocated in a previous essay. Here is my reply. What is your opinion?

Don't waste your time.
Spend your time learning how to fill your heart with lovely thoughts. Spend your time learning how to shine out your loving thoughts. Spend your time dreaming of finding a lovely mate to live with. Sing lovely songs before you go to bed.
Sing: "Where are you my darling on this warm and lovely night? Where are you my sweetheart? Will you hold me tight?"
Believe in your dream-song. Don't worry about it. Let it float out your window into the world. Your true love is out there wondering where his true love can be. When he dreams, he will hear your lovely song and begin to come to you. Just let it happen. Don't try to control the world. You can not. Just fill your life with love and send out your love to the world. He is out there looking for you too.
Let fate bring you together.
Be happy in your heart!

There are so many wise things said about love, and the power of love. I think many people don't believe it. What would happen if more people did?
