WE ALL YEARN FOR And NEED TO BE SHARING LOVE TO BE HAPPY

In our hearts, we all want and need  to learn how to love, share love, be loving and make Love our shining path…only through Love can we solve all the problems facing humanity.

I have known for most of my life that the real purpose of life, the real reason we were sent to earth is to learn how to Love, share love, be loving and evolve on the shining path of Love…

Love is the very heart of the spiritual path because love alone can heal our inner wounds and the wounds of the world. 

Love is our own and every living being’s true nature. 

Love is the power which creates and sustains the entire universe. 

To be loved and to love with wide open hearts is my, your and everyone’s greatest need.

“To be loved and to love others with our hearts wide open is the greatest need of every one of us.”

—Yeshe Gyamtso

 I have long understood this, and sought to live it and apply it to my own life.  

WE ARE ALL ENROLLED IN THE DIVINE’s SCHOOL OF LOVE CALLED LIFE….

I have been consciously studying in the school of Love we are all enrolled in, as my heart has sought to learn the ways of love. 

Our highest and purest and most important love relationship is with God…

then our love relationship with our own self…

then our love relationship with our beloved life partner…

then our love relationship with our children…

then our circle of close friends…

and outwards in rings of connection with our community, all living beings and the world.

WE ALL LIVE IN AN INTERCONNECTING WEB OF LOVE ALL AROUND US ALL OF THE TIME

When you view our path of love from this higher perspective, it becomes obvious that we all live in an interconnecting web of love that is all around us all of the time. 

We were born for love, to share love, to give love and grow Love. 

“We were born for love, to share love, to give love and grow an ever greater love.”

As much as our bodies need food, air and water to live, our hearts and spirits need love to not just survive but thrive.

I believe that the solution to all the world’s problems can be found as a more and more of us awaken and shift to being love… if we all realize the necessity and power of living from love, caring and compassion.  

The root cause of most of our problems, from mass shootings to wars to food shortages to climate change and every other problem we face is due to a profound lack of  love.

HUMANITY NEEDS TO MAKE A MAJOR LEAP IN CONSCIOUSNESS

In prayer, I have seen many times that humanity is being called to make a major leap of consciousness and paradigm shift from our old survival and fear based  self centered focus on taking caring of “I-me-mine” to the much higher focus on “we-us-everyone” of caring, compassion and the welfare of all living beings and our sweet planet home. 

Its time that we recognize that to solve any and all of the very real threats to humanity’s long term survival that we all have to work together to solve our problems.  If we don’t, the future for our children is terribly bleak and tragic. 

If we do, we will create a beautiful world that works for everyone!

MAKE A PERSONAL DECISION TO BE MORE LOVING, CARING AND KIND

Today, wherever you go, whoever you are with, consciously decide to be more loving, caring and kind.

Love, caring and kindness are contagious.  

We need to spread it to the world around us…

It is a scientifically proven fact that:

The more loving, caring and kind you are, the healthier, happier and peaceful you are.  Its proven that being loving extends your life, activates a stronger immune system, promotes healthier brain functions and protects against degradation as well giving you a sense of purpose and well being.

Every body needs love.  No one ever overdoses on Love…

So today, as you go about daily life, reach out lovingly to those who are stressed, lonely or grieving.

Even a kind word or a sweet smile can make a huge difference for someone fighting their own inner battle.

Whatever you do today…

                                                 Let Love make a way!
