Love

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Maitreya

What is love? Many have tried to give an answer to this question and many think they know the answer. Love is the need within you to share with another person – no matter what sex – a closeness and to give and receive affection.

The sexual union with two who have no love is just an action. It can please, but it cannot satisfy the soul. Only when one has an open heart and can feel emotion for the person sharing the experience can the sexual act then become a momentous occasion. When love is in action it is demonstrated by both partners in the sharing of affection, kindness, and consideration to each other. If a partner is ill, then caring for that person becomes a caring experience. If there is no love, it can become a chore.

Everyone on the earth plane has a need for physical affection; it is a part of your being. If it is denied then the heart closes and the body becomes cold and immobile. When it is touched in affection then it opens like a rose after a cold winter. When one loves another, one does not criticize the other. You accept each other for the uniqueness that you are, two different beings who vibrate to a different tune. Even twins vibrate to their own tune. All human beings are different from each other, yet you try to make your partner like you. You cling in your relationships and you may manipulate your partner to change. However when there is love, then you accept your partner for their difference and do not criticize or try to change and manipulate.

If you want to know love, then let go of your fear. Understand that your partner is different from you. They cannot be you, and you cannot be them. Accept their uniqueness and, if you cannot, then the partner is not for you. If this is so, move on so that you may experience happiness and try to maintain friendship in the relationship that has ended. Love comes from the heart center. It is totally embracing and, for those who feel it – either from another human being or from the divine source, they truly know happiness. They also know love.
