There is so much talk of LOVE. What is LOVE?

LOVE is the life force that build us as humans. LOVE  as a force, not a sentiment, not even principally an  emotion. LOVE is the life force. LOVE is the energy.

LOVE and understanding of what LOVE is, is humanities only way of getting out of the mess our current 'power systems' and our fears has created.

LOVE is a well, bubbling  up with wonderous gentleness, kindness, caring, giving, blessing, holding...a current within,  its' waters blending in with our selves and changing everything inside and outside of You.

LOVE is what we are built by, and from. LOVE is another word for GOD, just like 'energy' is another word for GOD and 'light'  is...another word for GOD. GOD is everything outside and within. We are GOD.

And LOVE, this particular LOVE, changes everything

...

Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?',
say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light
came into being on its own accord and established itself and
became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?',
say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.'
If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?',
say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'" (Gospel of Thomas)

...

Where did we - us humans - loose track? I don't know, but long ago
it was. When did we replace love with fear, giving with taking, honesty
with lies, humility with hollow pride? When did all this happen, and what was it that happened...to us, to the shard of God that we all carry, inside ourselves?

What happened was we lost track. We lost LOVE. We lost our understanding of what we are. We even lost track of our own footsteps, the way to carry us back home to where we came from.

Have You ever been totally HAPPY. So happy that Your whole being is filled with...gladness. Yes You have;  back in time, when You were a child. Remember Your happiness, that happiness that bubbled up, that filled Your being, the feeling that changed everything and painted everything in brighter colors?  And that happiness was large enough for You to let everyone share it with You.

That is what LOVE is...the same kind of feeling. When You were happy...did You think You had better keep Your happiness for Yourself? Did You  split it up in portions? Did You ask Yourself if the one sharing Your happiness was...

...worthy?

No You did not. Happiness just spilled out of You, bubbling up from
that well inside, that we all have...the well that got hidden, buried within layer upon layer of fear, power, tactics, dishonesty; the gradual
selling out of  the soul, of God.

LOVE is a well bubbling inside, hidden under layers and more layers of greed, layers and more layers of theft, layers and more layers of betrayal, the betrayal of the self, the soul, the betrayal of LOVE. The utter denial of what GOD is and what we ourselves are.

And it is we, ourselves, that are constantly paying the price for that forgetfulness and that greed. The name of that price being pain. The pain all of us have felt from being 'empty', hollow inside. The pain we are trying to silent, when buying yet another pair of shoes or a new handbag, or car, to distract, to throw a new piece of goods into
that hole, expecting it to be filled.

Consumption will not fill that void. What fills that void inside is not taking or buying or consuming. What fills that void is giving. We are built to give, not to take. We don't even like  to take and we will not ever get a lasting happiness that way.  We humans are built to give...to give anything and everything... 

...but most importantly to give LOVE.

Because in that giving, the well inside will start to flow. From this
giving You will truly receive that which Your consumption will not
give You. That 'longing' void inside will no longer be empty, as that
well of Love will increase it's flow, the more You keep on giving.

That well inside You filling You to the brim with Love, which
is giving, Love which is caring, Love which is energy, Love which
is Yourself suddenly finding Your own footprints, and thus
the way to come home. Back to where You came from.

Back to God.

Still, until this well inside You increases its flow, its sharing
with everyone and everything of the Love that is You...

The LOVE that You withhold will continue
to be the pain that You are carrying

..for how long?
