Daily Question, January 22

What can those with whom you struggle teach you about love?

  • Journey

    I read this line in a book recently and it stuck with me “It’s okay if you find it hard to love someone, act with love anyway”. It said it isn’t always easy to love someone especially if they have been unkind to you. But act with love regardless of your feelings.

    Resistance is the implication of potential connection. It is with the pushing back that I am aware of the presence of other. The drag that slows me down causes me to at once both be more effortful and to pay attention. It piques a certain readiness. As a force in nature resistance can be an ally. Harnessed correctly it can actually be an advantage (my fellow body surfers can attest to this!)...as for love, I can only say that within this give and take I feel so good, and this is a feeling I love...

    This important reminder about Being-ness….it requires seeing the difference between ‘time and place’ love and ‘Real [ Divine/ non-dual] Love’. In ‘time and place’ love you will never find two people who emanate love in exactly the same way. When vibrating in Non-Dual , outside of ‘time and place’ Love, the etheric heart radiates the Christ Logos. This was eloquently expressed by St Paul 1 Corr 13: 4-13 .

    This important reminder about Being-ness….it requires seeing the difference between ‘time and place’ love and ‘Real [ Divine/ non-dual] Love’.

    In ‘time and place’ love you will never find two people who emanate love in exactly the same way. When vibrating in Non-Dual , outside of ‘time and place’ Love, the etheric heart radiates the Christ Logos. This was eloquently expressed by St Paul 1 Corr 13: 4-13 . ( but totally misunderstood by most who use it as a quote at weddings etc )

    The fun part of this question is the challenge each person must face in accepting that ‘time and place’ love requires knowing it very very likely wont be a perfect union. And in accepting that truth, it can then be called “true love”. Brilliant design going on there, and as Luke said …..

    ““But I say to you who hear; Love those who call themselves your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you” Luke 6; 27-28

    Love comes in many shapes and sizes, disguised in my ways and taught on many levels. Those with whom we struggle teach us this and more.

  • Holly in Ohio

    When I struggle to love I learn about myself and find the parts of myself on which I still need to heal. It teaches me not only how to love better, but also patience, interest in others, and connectedness.

    That each of us are individuals with our own human experiences, and that love does not have conditions. Those I struggle with remind me that I am not perfect, I make mistakes, and I struggle with myself sometimes. But I should love myself and all others no matter what. Love is what we came from and what we are. Be kind and gentle with each other.

  • Kevin

    That on some days and within certain situations, I just need to love “certain” people all the more fully. Some days I succeed at this, and some days I don’t.

  • Pam

    That anything is possible with love in your heart

  • Michele

    That I still love them.

    • Mica

      Me, too, Michele – that’s a wonderful place to end up 💕
