“Love, for the common person, is an idea that they have learnt, where they’re only to be ‘nice’ or to be ‘pleasing’ to others in order to be a loving person. That is the illusion that they live with when their mind is closed to Love. It is only when one's mind is closed to Love that one will seek love from looking to be loved by being ‘nice’ or ‘pleasing’ to others. That’s love with an agenda, with a condition. True Love does not have agendas or conditions.
- Amir Zoghi -
My dear, you are either being loving or seeking to be loved. One who seeks to be loved is one that assumes that they have no love to give. They think that they are separate from the love they seek. And do not tell me that you do not seek to be loved – love comes in many forms, like being accepted or acknowledged.
There are many that seek to be loved by others because they feel as though they have no love for themselves, but that is only because they have a false interpretation of what True Love is. Love is not just the experience that most feel on a human level – that again my dear is just a form of Love. To Love something or someone is not to need or to be attached to them. That is not being in love but being in need.
Love, is a force far too great to comprehend with the human mind. Love is the force that is allowing you to experience who you are as a human being. Love is what you call Life, or what it is to be alive. It is Joy, an absolute freedom. And Love, my dear, is who you truly are when you allow yourself to escape the identity of who you think you are.
Love is not something that you can find; it is not something you can create, but it is something that you can create with. If you want to realise the Love that permeates all things that you call existence, you must find the Love that can be experienced from your inner Being. The Love that speaks to you in feelings of what feels True for you and not necessarily what may be True for others. True Love can only be experienced when you are acting and speaking your Truth, without the agenda of being ‘nice’ or the agenda to ‘please’ others so you may feel like you are being loved by others. That is only the love that is sought by one who is not being True to themselves. Love is honest with itself so if you are being loving, you would be honest with yourself. This would mean that you would be speaking and acting on what is True to you, without the need of getting the approval or acknowledgement of others. And yes you know what is True for you because what is True for you is always gift-wrapped for you in the feeling of Love. What you do love to do, who do you love to be, what would you love to experience?
Once you decide to be True to yourself by acting on and speaking your Truth, you will experience having Love for yourself. You will know and experience True Unconditional Love. You will have True Unconditional Love for all and you would give your Love without the need or the agenda of getting it back. That’s when you will speak and act on what is True for you without the need to be accepted or acknowledged. That’s called respect, r-e-s-p-e-c-t. Love has respect for itself and for all those whom one loves. Love with an agenda is love without respect.
When you speak and act on your Truth, you will have self respect and feel a love that has no attachments. And because you have no attachments you can then allow those around you to experience what is True for them and not what you may think would be True for them.
That is True Love which encompasses all things; everything else is a judgment that one has for things.
