**********************************Loving Others
STAGES OF LOVEDo we really love or are we simply attached to, identified with, or dependent upon specific persons? Is our love free and unconditional, or is it mixed with various conditions and demands? What is unconditional love? Is it possible for us to cultivate it? What is the difference between love and attachment? How can we determine whether what we feel is love or attachment? How can we purify our love and move into a higher level of consciousness, offering greater happiness to all, including ourselves?
These are some of the many questions that we will address and analyze in this chapter.
WHAT IS LOVE?
Love is a very difficult word to define, perhaps because the reality of love approaches the spiritual dimensions that are beyond time and space, and thus comprehension by the human mind. Love, like all other highly spiritual realities, is more easily described by what it is not. Love is not fear, hurt, pain, jealousy, bitterness, hate, separateness, lust, attachment, aggressiveness, ego-centeredness, indifference, possessiveness, suppression - the list goes on.
Love, like God, peace and other spiritual realities, can be perceived more easily through the effects that it creates. We cannot see the wind, but we can see the effects of the wind, such as the leaves moving, branches swaying, or the sound of air rushing. We know wind exists by its various side effects. We know there is a primal cause (God) for creation because we perceive its effect: creation itself.
What then are the effects of love? Love creates feelings of unity. We feel toward others as we feel towards ourselves. We are interested in their welfare, happiness, success, health and spiritual growth as much as we are concerned about our own.
Loving others means wanting them to be happy regardless of what it is which makes them really happy. It breeds understanding, compassion, forgiveness, happiness, excitement, peace, joy and a desire to be helpful in any way we can.
Love is expansion beyond our ego limitations. It is the ability to identify with the other, to let go of our self-interest and personal needs enough to really hear and understand the other’s needs and interests. It means caring enough to sacrifice when necessary, our own pleasures and desires when the other’s needs are obviously more important.
Love is the force that brings about unity and harmony. It is the "glue" of the universe. It helps persons with different egos, desires, and programmings and needs to overcome all those potentially repelling forces and unite.
Love is the force of unity that will enable our already internally existing spiritual unity and harmony to manifest itself on the mental, emotional, physical, familial, social, economic, political and international levels. We are moving toward unity (even if it seems the opposite sometimes), and the main forces are love and wisdom.
Thus, love is the greatest, the highest human quality, and it needs to be given priority over all other needs and concerns. Only in this way will we acquire peace, happiness and wellbeing on Earth.
Love needs not so much to be learned or cultivated, but rather released or brought to the surface, if you like. We are love. Our basic nature is love, but ignorance, fear and attachment have buried it so deep within us that it is sometimes difficult to summon or maintain. Loving others steadily, independent of their behavior, is not an easy achievement.
