Soften, why don’t you. “Oh, but softness is weakness!” you declare, and there you err. Your true essence is neither soft nor hard. Your true essence is simply being . . . Here, Now, Aware Awareness. And from this aware state, all experience arises. When you are in a protective, defensive state, insights and guidance from the higher perspectives are restricted. You think you can do quite well on your own? Please do so. When you stumble and suffer, perhaps then you will appreciate the bird’s eye view and a bit of direction from on high. When stuck, soften. When in a rip tide, float. Do you see? You will, as you let down your guard and listen.
You are so very loved.
I know… i suppose we all know… how difficult it can feel when we revert to staying in defensive mode toward those we truly Love but “have hurt us” anyway. It only seems to make sense, doesn’t it? But our heart knows that we too have done things that separated love while Love remained.
Our hearts know what love is, compared to the Love that IS.
Sure, sometimes we discover that what we thought, even felt, what Love is, was only love. Our eyes become opened. And that is wonderful. And other times we realize we have Love. Yes, it is a realization, but Love always existed and exists before you realize it. Love is not dependant on your realizing. You Love, or you don’t.
Even “little” love is dependant on your knowing Love. Realizing you know it, tells you the kind of love or Love you are expressing. And that too is wonderful.
Of course there is nothing wrong with knowing you have been hurt. You felt it. The problem comes when you claim there is no reason for you to be hurt. You can assure yourself, there WAS a reason. Look at it. Face it. Let it be as the thing it WAS, so that you need not let the past linger, for it too will change even if you try to cling to the hurt. Let hurt be as the thing it WAS, because it has absolutely no place in the present. It has passed. NEW is working to replace the past constantly. Let NEW do its job. STOP INTERFERING with Wholeness. BE Whole. BE in the present.
