WISHING YOU A GOOD DAY !! A NOTE FROM MY STUDY - THE POETIC “I” - AND ADORABLE “SHE” !!

In “Love’s Philosophy,” the poet Perry Bysshe Shelley explores this basic relatedness in a way that is both spiritual and sensuous. It’s one of my favourite love poems.

It begins:

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean,

The winds of heaven mix forever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle.

Why not l with thine?

We are made for each other. All of us are included. No unholy exceptions. Mystics and scientists agree that in deeper reality beyond space and time, we are all members of one body. Albert Einstein referred to the perception of separateness as an ‘optical illusion.’ David Bohm, an American quantum physicist who was one of Einstein’s most famous students, recognized an undivided universe, an implicate wholeness, and a theatre of interrelations. We belong to each other.

“Life loves you unconditionally’ I said.

“Life is not judging you,” she replies most emphatically.

“And life is not criticizing you,” I add

“Yes, and life is not testing you. And it’s not trying to make things hard for you ,” she says.

“When you say you, I assume you mean the soul bird, my alignment with the Source -, our Unconditioned Self “

‘Yes, life loves you, the real you” I say.

We are loved for who we are, not for what we think we must become,” she says .

“Life loves you now!” she emphasizes.

Life loves you is stated in the present tense. It’s not that life loves you only when you are a child, young and innocent..

And it’s not that life will love you when or if you change. “Life loves us even when we don’t love ourselves, I say.

We both pause to let this awareness sink in.

Life loves you feels natural and believable “when” and “if” we love ourselves but otherwise it seems to be too good to be true. A passage from A Course in Miracles pops into my head. I am sharing it .

The universe of love does not stop nor

because you do not see it,

nor have your closed eyes lost

the ability to see.

Look upon the glory of His creatcon,

and you will learn what

God has kept for you.

“Let’s talk about the meaning of life,” she says.

I ask her what the word life refers to in Life loves you. She tells me that life refers to whatever created us. She says that life can mean Universe, or Spirit, or Grace or the Divine, or God. I sense her reluctance to use the word God, and I ask about this. She tells me, “I like use the word life because life isn’t a religious word”

I understand her reluctance. “What a shame we made religion out of God” I say.

Life loves you is a spiritual philosophy, not a religious philosophy,” she says

Life is 100 percent nondenominational,” I say:

“Yes’ says she “and life is bigger than all the names of God put together.”

So,- Life loves you is the same as God loves you” I state

“Yes. But only if God is not a man in the sky watching you, and only if God is unconditional love”

“Amen” I say.

Life loves you is a philosophy of love that recognizes love as being spiritual, not just romantic. Like other philosophies, such as mystical_ Christianity_Sufism , the Kabbalah and Bhakti yoga, love is bigger than just emotion or sex. The love in Life loves you refers to the Mind of Creation. Love is the consciousness of the universe. It is empty of personal neurosis and ego psychology- “Love is an infinite intelligence,” both of us conclude .

“There is love .... only love , and it will guide you and direct you if you will let it.”

Let love in !!

It will guide you and bless you !!

GOD BLESS YOU !!

WITH

MUCH LOVE AND GRACE
