Throughout time, poets, philosophers, priests, scientists,
psychiatrists and just plain folk have pondered, analyzed and contemplated the
true meaning of love. Is it simply a biochemical reaction in the brain brought
on by some outside stimuli, or something far beyond our limited physical perception
and capacity to understand? Often when
the subject of love comes up, it tends to move immediately to aspects of
relationships, courtships, and the complications therein. But love is so much greater than this one small
prism.
From my own personal perspective, I've come to
understand that love is the quintessential dynamic force that creates all
things. It is the essence and energy of Source itself. Despite the many miasms that plague our
current predicament on this physical plane, the multiverse is in actual fact based
on a Love-centric system. We exist
because of God-Source’s love for us. This
love is unconditional, and with it, we are given free will to do as we want,
understanding that within this love system are checks and balances that must be
exercised and fulfilled. But the
absolute essence of Source, of All That Is, is love.
From this perspective, we as Divine Sparks of God
energy may have difficulty in conceptualizing the sheer magnitude of this God-love. So as a means of providing us with a more
intimate and microcosmic perspective of this macrocosmic truth, we are
given the opportunity to share and express this greatest of feelings in a much more
personal way. As such, our interpersonal
relationships, be they with a child, a mother, a father, a husband, a wife, a
lover, a friend, or any of the unlimited combinations that exist in our
spectrum of possibilities actually become a simple personification of God’s
love made manifest. To feel the sheer depth
of love one can have between a father to his daughter, or a mother to her
child, or a husband to his wife, or the passion of a newfound love just formed,
or simply the love of your pet, is to glimpse but a thimble full of the power
and majesty of God’s love in existence.
There are simply no words that do it justice, but you at least have a
glimpse, a feeling of what it is so as to provide you with hope, strength, inspiration,
and meaning.
So as we celebrate this Valentine's Day, may you
experience the absolute power of love in its most wonderful expression,
whatever form that love may take. May
this love be unconditional and unceasing.
May the love you find externally only enhance your love of self, and may
you find joy and happiness in its infinite glow. Happy Valentine’s Day.
