love, god, and everything

there are those who believe in things outside of themselves and basically put themselves down in order to somehow prove to themselves, or too often to others, that they believe in this external entity...

I believe that any entity that would want you to diminish yourself for it does not love you, for love is enriching, never diminishing... love is nurturing, never taking more than it gives... love wants only to be given, to be loved...

love, or whatever word we label it, is the all powerful energy that is part of everything and when you realize that you generate it inside yourself - you realize that you are responsible for your portion of the universe, no one else, nothing else can be responsible for your part... you are the god you must worship and pray to and nurture, for you are where your love begins and your love is your connection to everything... call it heaven if you wish... call it god if you wish... call it by someone else's name or whatever you want to call it, but accept the power and the responsibility upon yourself, within yourself, for if you do not - you give up the connection, you deny the power, and you can then only search for something that can not be found anywhere outside of you...

in this world, most people do not remember this... most people require an external illusionary reason for everything... maybe they are afraid of the feeling or afraid of the power or afraid of the responsibility of being and actually physically generating their portion of the energy... maybe they bought into fears of parents or others who told them they were not good enough, not strong enough...

the externalization of love has been going on for a long time... perhaps this externalization began and continues because when it becomes physical and therein sensual, from the simplest touch to hugs to sharing the extreme pleasures of the body, it can bring out some insecurity in most of us... the awkwardness of the unknown, or the fear of rejection or of not pleasing another, gives reason for walls and taboos and all sorts of misguided rules about how and when and where and whom we can touch - ultimately, how we can love and share love... or, using other words to say the same thing, how we can worship our god... in these fears, and in the convoluted reasonings that support and try to hide them, love is denied and often lost in traditions and rhetoric and very narrow views of what life, love, and happiness should be...

that is a clue, when you are told love should be a certain way... if you must be told, you do not know love, for love is within you... and if you choose to call the power god, then god is within you... not out there or up there with power over you, but within you - waiting for you to remember and reawaken and turn it back on, let it back out, and share it with others... not because something outside yourself tells you that you should love... not because someone else tells you how to love... but because you feel it, believe in it, and can do it yourself... then, and only then, can you experience the power (and if you wish, the glory) of being at one with everything... your creator, for instance... whatever you wish to believe is out there becomes real for you...

love is, god is, whatever you choose to call it is the physical (at least in this life) energy that connects everything... call it spiritual or supernatural if you do not see or feel or comprehend it all... words become meaningless when you understand the sense of belonging that comes from being part of and doing your part in continuing the flow of energy that is everything...

but what's more and what can only happen with you realize it comes from within you is the fearlessness of knowing you have already been to this place many call heaven for it is within you created when you turn on and nurture and share your love without restrictions, without rules, without conditions, without any attempt to control or diminish or take anthing from anyone... for love, true love, is the greatest gift there is... and all it asks is to be given... and in the giving, it is renewed and connects you with everything...

and that is peace, for you feel without fear all the pleasures and the pains of everything and you can realize that only fear would lead to a choice that brings pain... love overcomes fear if you will it to, if you take responsibility for it, and if you believe in it...

it is in there, in you... and out here... and I hope that you understand this and do it yourself and if not, I hope you remember it and start believing in the love within you so you can truly nurture and actualize your part in it right now
