Why Love?

Are you In Love?
Are you falling in Love?
Are you Loving?
Are you in love with someone or something?

These are four very different experiences, all our choosing.
What?  You mean I can control who and how and when I Love?
Yes, Love is a choice, a faucet to be turned on or off with our thoughts and feelings.
What about chemistry, mystery, destiny, magic, romance?

We “fall in love” with the experience we have from feeling what we long to feel all the time.
The experience of orgasm, ecstasy, being totally in love is the closest we know of Union with God.
We long to return to the memory of Heaven, total bliss in safety, joy and peace.
And so we see experiences with remind us of what lies within where there is no time or space.

When we feel admired, valued, cared for, seen and heard, connected, we feel loved.
When we admire, value, care for, see and hear another, we feel connected and in love.
When we have a special relationship or special significant miraculous moments, we fall into Love.
When we are loving, we are seeking to respect, trust, connect with life and all our relationships.

To live in love, is to rejoice at the joy of each moment.
To live in love is to forgive and forget and disconnection, of feeling of separation.
When we live in the unified field, we know heaven and grace all the time.
When we live feeling disconnected, alone, unhappy and unloved, we fall out of love.

Love begets Love.
When we are “in Love”, everything seems bright and new and full of beauty and goodness.
When we are in judgment, comparison and feeling separate, different, we fall out of love.
Fear begets fear and judgment, excuses and complaints, criticism and belittling.

Love is our natural State.
Joy is our natural State.
Peace is our natural state.
When we are not experiencing love and peace and joy, something has gone wrong.

What could go wrong?
A tiny mad idea, a moment of fear or judgment, a memory of past harm or misunderstanding.
Holding onto anything that creates judgment will dampen one’s enthusiasm and put out the fire.
Forgiveness used as an eraser filled with love, clears all mistakes, all memories, or judgments.

I forgive myself for forgetting to Love.
I forgive myself for forgetting to receive the Love within and around me.
I forgive all lack of love in others and respond always with the Love I AM.
I forgive the apparent separation from Love in my world and I remember to reconnect!
And so it is, I love always and all ways.
