Love Awareness

When you have no relationship to another person, you are automatically thrown back upon yourself. The feelings that come out have no basis in what you need or want from others–they simply come out.

When the mind goes beyond normal waking awareness, the transcending process brings one in contact with unconditional love in its silent, unmanifest state. “Unmanifest” means that this love is not directed at anything; it simply vibrates within the nature of the silent witness, like a radio signal silently waiting for a radio to pick it up.

At the end of meditation, the person returns to the waking state bringing some of this transcendental quality into his everyday consciousness. A new vibration has been added that alters, however subtly, the person’s former awareness.

By definition, you can love someone only if your love does not alter no matter what the other person does. A person who feels love “no matter what” is simply following his nature. In truth, this is all that can be asked of anyone. Acting according to your own level of awareness is inescapable.

All of us are radiating our awareness out into the world and bringing its reflection back to us. The curative value of this kind of awareness is enormous.

Where does the mind GO "BEYOND NORMAL WAKING AWARENESS"? The "mind" is stuck inside each one of our bodies.

"A new vibration has been added that alters, however subtly, the person’s former awareness."

What is a NEW VIBRATION? A THOUGHT? I would HOPE that people have a "new vibration" once in a while.

We all need this real love in our lives. Other wise it is really not a life at all.

I must agree it is wonderful to live with love in one's heart. I also meditate on love and send it out to heal the world and thereby experience bliss....

To me, the greatest love is to be what you didn't have when you were growing up. Be that Mother or Father you didn't have. I had a mother whom played both and it wasn't easy on her and I always promised if I had kids, I would be the father I didn't have and it takes a man to be a father. Weather the child is yours or adopted, being that parent is special to you and the child both. I am always proud of my kids cause love comes from the heart in caring knowing you will be there for them.

If you want unconditional love, share your life and love with a pet animal of any type. Human love may try to be unconditional, but it has its drawbacks. Perhaps parental love for the child comes close to it.
