Default Re: What is LOVE?

Universal Love

This is the emanation that is most widely misunderstood as well as most difficult to identify and describe with words. This is all for a good reason as this is the part that connects us to the deepest parts of our higher aspects and much of the information that is shared in this connection is not verbal. Much has been written and said about love, so much that one is often left completely confused and overwhelmed with all the feelings, unable to distinguish the frequency of love with the more primal emotions such as attachment or pure instinct for survival of one’s self and its genetical offspring.

You can most easily recognize the parts that are universal love in the way that they are not bound to any limit or reason and they are the feelings that make you ‘know’ by feeling that you are connected with everything and everyone around you and that it deserves your utmost respect and help. If you go deeper you can begin to recognize the point of connection as being on a very deep level and a very distinctive frequency shared by everything else (When I say everything, I mean the full totality of the universe). This is where you start understanding and feeling that we are all indeed one at those deepest levels of our beings, and once focused on those levels, this immense connection is perceived as universal love.

Once you have settled down your primal emotions in the third chakra, you become fully open for the frequencies of universal love. The reason many people find it hard to let this energy flow through their life and influence their actions is because they are dominated with the primal emotions of fear for anything that is deemed negative. On a certain level the subconscious programming sees love as a threat, as if love makes them feel they should help their counterparts (the ones from which there is no logical advantage to be had), this will only strengthen their relative position and they can have a negative influence on them (according to the programming of the subconscious mind which sees everything in competitive terms of positive vs. negative).

Once you begin to understand the programming of the subconscious mind and you begin to be able to differentiate its signals, you can then fully open yourself and tune into the frequency that is universal love, whose source goes beyond the subconscious programming and is often in conflict with it.

This feeling of connection and respect to everything and everyone ultimately manifests as tolerance for everyone’s choices, acceptance of who and what they are without passing any judgments and the willingness to help them in their journey. All this of course, as long as they don’t interfere with your own path and as long as your intuition is guiding you to provide the help asked of you, which is something which will be covered more extensively later on in the book.

Another feeling which is tied to universal love although often misunderstood as a primal emotion is the feeling of sadness. Sadness is in fact a very useful feeling of a higher frequency. I mentioned earlier that often in new age literature fear is mentioned as being opposite of love, which is something I think only illusionary for reasons explained earlier. The true opposite of love is actually sadness.
If universal love can be best defined as the degree of connectedness to everything around us and we can feel it increase its flow whenever we increase our perception of this connectedness, sadness is then the opposite and can be felt whenever we feel the decrease of this connectedness. Sadness is very important to understand and be aware of in your own being as it is a powerful indicator and a guide telling you which of the paths lead away from universal love. For example if hurting other people makes you sad, this is a direct indicator that this is a path that leads away from universal love.

Sadness can be confusing because it is experienced not only when the degree of universal love is lowered but also when it is increased through a sudden surge. This seemingly little paradox is easily explained when you start dissecting at what happens when you experience such a shock of universal love. The reason for the sudden surge can be something of extreme importance to you, something for which you’ve piled up a lot of anticipation or feelings. It is the release of all these piled up feelings that actually makes you feel sadness further expressed as crying, which in turn unblocks all your pathways through which universal love can suddenly surge. The release of all this energy is perceived by the subconsciousness as a certain loss to some of its levels which in turn makes us feel the sadness. I am sure we have all felt sad even for circumstances which were highly negative to us, we knew they were highly negative but still at some part of our being we felt sad for not having them in our life anymore.

While universal or also called unconditional love is a needed basis from which one can hope to start entering into the higher aspects of being and a base on which the universe can be seen and understood, it is also a very delicate frequency which when out of balance can wreak havoc and create a lot of karma. This is why it is extremely important for one to be always aware of his level of universal love and keep it balanced at all times.
