Today we would speak to you of love again. How many messages of love can there be, you might ask? Very many is the answer.
When one loves because their heart is open then there are no boundaries to that love, no judgment inherent in the love that is offered to another or to a group of others. When one experiences a love that is truly unconditional then one is experiencing the energy of the Divine.
Too many people in 21st Century Earth are living with the mistaken notion that Love, with a capital ‘L,’ is an emotion that starts and stops, is earned or won, can be withheld if the person loved doesn’t measure up to some standard. We would tell you that this notion is not about ‘Love.’ In fact, it has nothing to do with ‘Love.’ Affection is affected by whims or behaviors. Romantic love that is not based on an open heart and that does not stem from a person who loves their Inner Self is not the kind of romantic Love that endures. And true Love in its essence extends way beyond the romantic Love so many wish to experience.
Love of Self is the fundamental energy of loving another. One must love the Inner Self, the being that is timeless and lives within each human being. Connection to the Love of Self allows one to Love another. But this kind of Love goes even deeper than the romantic Love.
When one has complete Love of Self one can only see others as Lovable beings. One who is truly in the space and energy of Love allows all other beings to be exactly who they are at their core and Loves and accepts them as such. One who can Love like this sees the connection with all other beings as immutable, so strong as to be unbreakable, so elemental that there can be no disputing it. The word ‘Namaste’ recognizes this connection and honors it – ‘the Divine within me honors the Divine within you.’ This is what you are doing when you first recognize that your Inner Self is the Divine within you and that all beings have this Inner Self.
People who are understanding of this kind of Love and connection do not wage war against other human beings. People who can Love this way do not sow hatred and intolerance. People who recognize the Divine in others do not discriminate against any other group of beings.
Imagine the world in which you live if it were peopled by human beings who Love and accept all other human beings as having the Divine within them. This is the description of a world at Peace. There cannot be Peace without the understanding that an individual is responsible for their own Peace, within and about them, and that only through Loving others can there be Peace between people.
We would ask you to consider those for whom you find it difficult to hold warm feelings. We understand that ‘feeling’ this kind of Love for all others is a tall order. But the Love of which we speak is a choice about how you see another person or a group of people, especially those who might be different from you. We are asking you to make a choice, right not, as you encounter our words, to first connect with your Inner Self and stir up the Love for the Divine within you, and then move that Love outward to encompass all those around you, all those with whom you come into contact, and then especially all those with whom you have differences or disagreements. Next extend this Love around Planet Earth to all beings. We are not saying that you must ‘feel’ warmth for everyone nor that you must approve of all behaviors, but you CAN make a decision to honor the eternal nature that is within every being.
Let the Divine within you honor the Divine within all that live on Planet Earth. Energize this thought as often as you can. As the word reaches others to do the same, you will begin to feel strongly your connection to All and the Love that exists in that connection.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Simply Be Love
February 16, 2010 — RosemaryHow often must we hear messages about Love before we really understand them? There are so many aspects to Love that I guess we must hear about the energy of Love over and over and over again until we embrace the concept totally.
If you listen to the news there is so much evidence of a lack of Love in our society that one wonders how to get that energy flowing, or jump started into the community. How can one individual really ‘getting it’ have an impact?
I guess I would ask the opposite: ‘How can one individual spewing hatred have such an effect on society?’ Think about hate radio. Think about politicians who spew hatred. Think about those who choose to hate other groups because of _____ – fill in the blank as there are many choices here.
One individual can have a great impact when they embrace the concept of hatred so why isn’t Love more powerful?
The fact is that Love IS more powerful! The energy of Love is the strongest in the Universe. You were Loved into existence because the Universe wanted you to be present on Mother Earth at this moment. Love is the attracting force at work in the Universe in every moment. And you are a part of that Love. You can connect to that Love by opening your heart and deciding that you are Lovable and Loving of others. You can choose to accept all other people because they, too, have been Loved into the present moment.
The time has come for Love to be the dominating force on Planet Earth. ‘Love your neighbor as you Love yourself’ requires that you first Love Yourself! Love others who are like you and Love others who are different from you. Love the children who will inherit the Planet from you and Love those who are getting ready to leave the Planet in your hands. Love those who make choices that are different from the choices that you make. Love because your heart is open and it is Love that spills forth from it. Love because YOU feel better when you are holding Love energy in you than when you hold any other energy in your consciousness.
Make this a time for you to spread Love around, without an agenda, without expecting anything in return. Simply Be Love.
