Lessons on Duality and Love

"Everything is made of Love," she said. 

Everything, every person, plant, animal, emotion, action, all of it. 

You can replace the word love with energy or God or Source or The Universe. 

Everything is made of me, Love.

Don't be fooled; the wretched are made of me. 

The perpetrator and the victim are made of me. 

The lovers and the estranged are made of me. 

The poor and the rich are made of me. 

They are all made of me, Love, God, Source.

Some closer and some farther away, but still made of me. 

You could think of it like a love scale. Things on the low end of the love scale don't feel like Love; they feel like pain. When you're at the low end of the love scale, your nature is to search for more Love to move toward the high end of the scale. Everything is attempting to move towards the high end of the love scale at all times. You are trying to get closer to the truth, your nature, and to me.

You need to find your way. You don't realize that what you have been searching for this whole time is ever present within you. That what you have been searching for is not happiness or wealth or pleasure, but Love, God! This disconnection is why we see so many people acting out, feeling depressed and anxious, using alcohol, traveling, food, shopping, sex, or attention seeking; the list goes on and on. You are trying to grasp Love by looking outside of yourself. You have been misdirected and misled. You have been exploited. What if everyone understood that they only lacked a relationship with themselves, with Love?

What a beautiful vision that lies before you!

More on Self Love

To move towards the high end of the love scale, you'll need first to recognize when you are in the low end. This takes practice and self-awareness, as it looks different for everyone. For me, my low end feels like sadness. For you, it might feel like anxiety or worry. In addition, I think it's important to note that we have been conditioned to fill the lack of Love with the external; things like food, sex, etc.  We have to be consciously aware of that and work against that conditioning. Second, expressing Love and gratitude is the fastest path to more Love. The world around you is a mirror, and it reflects your energy. Move towards Love by being in a state of Love and gratitude. Give Love, feel Love, embody Love, accept Love. It is who you ARE and will be reflected to you in more ways than you can imagine. 

If we look at things from the perspective of the love scale, we can no longer find hate for another. We can only have Love and compassion for them because we see them struggling to realize the truth and find their way in the world's muck. We see them with beauty, a bud finding its way to the light. We see them as new beginnings, still asleep under the spell of illusion. They are Love, just a little farther away from source. Ω
