About love in one's life (heart)
This is from a later part of "Reaching to Heaven" by James van Praagh,
A spiritual journey through life and death.
What is this thing called love? Is it a natural instinct that we are born
with? Is it a behaviour that we have to learn and become conditioned to
accept? Is it a feeling captured in a lover's gaze? Or is it, perhaps,
a mysterious, out-of-reach star -- something that we will have to strive
lifetimes to attain?
I personally believe that love is 'all'. I believe that it is that God
Force energy of which we are a part. This force is represented spiritually
by the Light, and we are of the Light. The brighter our light, the stronger
is our awareness of this part of our nature. We are born with this sense
of our light, and are encouraged either to increase it or hide it from
ourselves and from the rest of the world. Some of us lose sight of our
light and spend our life searching for poor substitutes for love.
Drugs, ***, and violence are some of love's replacements.
When we begin to recognise the light of love within ourselves, it is
easier to it in another. When two people are "in love", they see the light
in each other. The world outside does not exist for them because they are
in their private world of love, and they feel the splendour and joy that
love bestows.
When you begin to live from the inner light of your soul, the deepest
center of love, you truly begin to live as a spiritual being. Like someone
in love, you experience a relationship with your "heart self". Each time
you have a kind thought, say a kind word, or are of serving to someone, you
are living the divine principle of love, and your love center expands.
You start to see the world through loving eyes and feel the beauty and
joy in all things. In essence, you experience heaven on earth.
This is insightful about a lot of things - worthwhile getting out from the
local library, or even buying - to keep it handy when you need to know
why you're here on this earth at all.
(and hey, if you don't believe in this kind of stuff - get use to it,
because you'll get to hear more and more about it [this kind of talking]
whether in this life, or the next, etc...) The more you listen to it,
the more it makes sense - instead of the crap that passes for 'reality'
here - and established thinking, the 'norm'. etc. That which is hogwash.
