I too ha...Yet another "synchronicity"...<br /><br />I too have been experiencing the ecstasies and the agonies of Love. The Goddess has been giving me a fine and subtle lesson in love through all the women I know (or indeed have known!).<br /><br />I have just come to terms with the fact that as a man I have never been a friend to women, always much too concerned with what was in it for me. A total cockhead in fact!<br /><br />I too experience the Guru as everywhere and every thing, bowing to me in supplication as I bow before the Guru. It's like a constant two-way flow of energy and Intelligence (I say "two" way, but of course, I Am that).<br /><br />In opening my heart to Life in this way I have been gently and Lovingly shown how disgusting I was. And how the Guru's compassion and mercy is without limit.<br /><br />Like a child, I have been taken by the hand and shown how to be in the world, without demanding and bullying when I don't get my wants met. And without fear that they won't be.<br /><br />I know from my own experience that all my needs and selfless wants are met by the Guru at the appropriate moment.<br /><br />I feel that now I am ready to be a father, a Grandfather, a brother, a teacher and a friend without any concern for getting my own desires met.<br /><br />And if I fuck-up and forget, the Guru is always there to remind me.<br /><br />Om Shanti.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818200995695295787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-20359312146000740842012-06-29T11:08:18.689-07:002012-06-29T11:08:18.689-07:00It's so interesting that I should read this po...It's so interesting that I should read this post this morning... The realization came to me upon arising from bed that Love, that God is bowing to my feet in love. I thought I was supposed to bow before Guru, before God, not the other way around! <br /><br />But I saw so clearly how all of life, no matter what form it assumes, is bowing to me, to my awakening, to the energetic resonance of Self.<br /><br />My ego may be freaking out, there may be daggers pointed at me from every direction, but like a frayed knit sweater, this seems like a cheap superimposition. Even if I was dragged down into utter debt and poverty (aside from death of loved ones, this is my biggest fear), I know that love would still be showering me with subtle luxury.<br /><br />And I felt my heart swell in gratitude for this personal attention. For the unabashed flinging of itself in service to me. To me. Because Love loves me and each day is perfect, is just perfect no matter what happens.<br /><br />Does the ego (body/mind) see it that way.. no, no way. But perhaps I'm beginning to see with better eyes. At least until my eyes cloud over and I'm left groping my way to the lawn chair to sit and burn in the fire of attachment and fear.... and still, the grass is green and the breeze cools my body, and I can hear the wind chime from my neighbor's house.<br /><br />Yes: "So, go deep into love through whatever shape that divine force assumes. Love. And then… and then."April B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-7721874977441647622012-06-29T08:31:19.774-07:002012-06-29T08:31:19.774-07:00This post is breathtaking.

Very touching.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />I was just pondering this topic of Love myself while beholding in my heart someone that I not only love deeply but someone who has given me the opportunity to experience a love I have never known before. A love that trusts, a love that moves me to a depth of surrender that I have only heard or read about but am now experiencing. <br /><br />My heart bleeds poetry and I sent the following to him in an email just now. <br /><br /><br />I have missed you, and have wanted you with great passion. <br /> <br />It is the wanting that keeps me feeling alive and arouses the longing.<br /> <br />I find myself in your eyes and long for you that I might find more of myself there.<br /> <br />I long to be filled and inflamed further still by your love. <br /> <br />I wish for a surrender so complete that I lose myself in you.<br /> <br />My yearning, my need to Love is by far the greatest gift that I possess, and the only one that holds promise for me.<br /> <br />I love the love by which I love you with as well as the man himself. <br /> <br />There is no risk too great for Love. <br /> <br />For there is no life worth living without it. <br /> <br />Because of you, I know this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
