Feeling Good About Love

Love is everywhere. Love is what holds the world together. But not all people who claim to be full of love are...... Sad to say it, but he word "love" is the most highly misused, manipulative word in the history of language. Many people advertise themselves as being loving when they simply want to use others for their own advantage. While I am a fervent believer in the reality of love, the necessity of love, and the power of love my job in life is to love is to keep the lambs from being led to slaughter. I know that's an old fashioned metaphor, but I think you get the point.  The point is I am passionate to the point of pulsating with raising the consciousness of the world regarding this issues. It's a biggie for me. 



We are born to love and be loved. 
Our deepest reality is love. 

We are born to tingle with love.

And to love is to protect!


We are born to embrace the world with gusto! 
To rock, 
to roll, 
feel, 
think, 
dream, 
soar, 
run, 
leap, 
explore, 
gather, 
hunt, 
honor life, 
plant seeds, 
nourish our bodies 
our minds, 
our souls, 
to draw, 
to make music 
and to sing and dance and laugh and cry! 

Most of us have been taught that all people have genius within them and that all people are special. 
I am a special genius; 
and so is every one else! 
And this means you! 
Yes, you are a special genius!




We are born into a world of love. It is love and commitment that has held the world together. It is apathy and greed and revenge, which are the opposites of love, that has torn much of the world apart. But here we are in spite of those unloving things. Out of the loving hands, words and hearts of family, friends and strangers we were given much .... there is so much goodness all around us to cause us to tingle right down to our toes all day and all night! In fact it is this tingling, which we take for granted, that keeps us alive through the devestating, destructive, disasterous, disappointing days of our lives. Many of us lived through hell and came out the other side with at least a shread of what makes us "us".  Energy can not be killed.  We are energy, vibration, e-motion.  


(Not to get religious on you here; I want you to be free to interpret our existence in any way you choose to interpret it; so in universal terms would you not agree that it is safe to say that "love" energy is what has caused our existence? Can we use that concept to cover this topic, please?) And go a step further to say that if we don't step up your understanding of what "love" energy is all about we are in for a very bumpy ride ahead. And what many of us did in order to survive (psychologically and physically) as children may have worked reasonably well as children but if we continue use the same modes of operation those modes are going to kick us in the buns as adults. 


Nobody tells us that when we are kids in school. Our teachers insisted that whatever they are teaching us is the stuff that is going to get us through life. The same teachers are still thinking that way; which is why I am not the least bit keen on listening to most teachers or most adults! Sorry to say. Therefore it follows that I am not in agreement with most schools. How down-right sad! A nation full of people and institutions that drag the whole process of thinking and flourishing to a snails pace. 
As adults, young ones or old ones, we need to constantly be rethinking what we believed yesterday about love and accomplishment, love and success, love and friendship, love and health, love and money, love and sharing, love and learning. The big truth is we need to examine whatever we were taught every day of our lives and determine it's validity and usefulness in our interactions with ourselves and others today and each day forward. 


We are born curious. 
We are born artists. 
We are born creative.
We are born risk takers. 
We are born adventurers. 
scientists, 
analysists, 
diagnostitians, 
stratagizers, 
gamblers, 
experimenters, 
thinkers, 
seers, 
listeners, 
touchers, 
feelers, 
conduits, 
trensmitters 
impacters
and lovers. 


This is just the short list of who you are. These are the things that make life good, not your house, not your yard, not your car, your clothes, your hair and make-up, your furniture, your grades in school, your degrees or cirtificates, although we can love all of those things, they are not what is going to get us through life and death issues. It is our cleverness, our creativity, our impact on others and all those other things I have just listed that are going to get you through to the end when you leave your body and drift off to the next land designed for more advanced stages of living.
