You are Love

Wherever you are is the place where you can understand Love. Whatever you do is what you need to understand Love. It is about time to learn Love. You have been called. For years, you have disregarded the call. Now is the time. This moment is the most perfect moment to understand Love. You might ask “How can I understand Love?” or “How can I Love? I don’t deserve it. I just can’t Love.” These questions challenge you to pay attention to Love. You might have doubts to begin because you see and identify yourself with these words: sinful, impure, defiled, unworthy. You have doubts because you have done a lot of undesirable things in the past. You thought that you are ought to be punished than rewarded, let alone to be Loved. You think all these prove that you cannot understand Love.

Here’s the good news: all things you have done and felt guilty about are all PROOF that you are ready to understand Love. That is the truth. We will look into that truth. Don’t worry. You are ready. No matter how the world judges you, or no matter how you judge yourself, the only proof that you are ready is the face you see in the mirror. Yes, that proof is YOU. Nobody but you. Go on, take a look again in the mirror. See that face as it is. That face, your face, is the face of Love. You are made in the image and likeness of Love.

How do you see yourself? Have you ever always judgmental against that person you see in the mirror? Do you always feel guilty of all the things you have done in the past? Have you ever felt lacking of the things you need and want, and made you feel unworthy? Do you always want to prove yourself to others and please them as much as you could, so you can say that you are Loved? Take some time to answer these questions wholeheartedly. Allow your awareness to cut through those painful answers. Those answers are, truly, difficult to accept. Your have to begin to face them, to let yourself be conscious of these truths you often deny. All of these painful thoughts and feelings are darkness of your shadow you choose to see. This darkness will immediately disappear when you cast the light of your awareness.

"To understand Love is to be aware that you are Love."

The source of the light of Love doesn’t come from outside. It comes from inside. That Love is eternal and nourishing, like that of the sun. Wake up early in the morning, right before the sun rises in the east. Look at its gentle rays peeking from the clouds in the horizon. See that same sun rising in you, beaming with brightness. See that sun as the eternal symbol of the light of Love within you. Being aware of that light allows you to shine and be the guiding light for others who are seeking the same light within them.

To understand Love is to be aware that YOU ARE LOVE. Yes, you are Love. I know, you feel so undeserving, because you have done a lot of things that did not allow you to become Loving. You feel that no one has Loved you, that is why until now you are still searching for that Love. You have tried your best to find the right person and keep and own them, yet eventually they would leave you behind and alone. You have made your best on your career, and fattened your bank account so you can find great self-worth. You have tried to buy all new things: clothes, gadgets, or anything you can possess so you can command respect from people and earn their praises and trust. You have tried to give in to people’s demand, or maybe to be always in command, so you can wield more power over their wits. But after all the efforts, you wonder, why in the world you still feel empty? You have believed, as what others have told you that human beings can never be contented.

Ask yourself, “Can we humans become contented? If yes, how can we become?” It has been bugging you that after what you have accumulated and achieved, there is still this void in the depth of your being; something that bothers you, an itch that you cannot scratch because you cannot find where exactly it is. That troublesome itch is the truth drawing your attention. The truth that cannot be touched nor held nor seen. But you can feel it deeply. That truth is the truth of you being Love. You are Love. You must begin to journey back to that awareness.

Opposites

To understand Love, we must understand the opposites.

Love is often an opposite of either fear, hatred and evil. But Love has no opposite. Fear is the opposite of courage, hatred is the opposite of forgiveness, and evil is often the opposite of good. Courage and forgiveness are both transcendent quality of Love, where they represent Love as a direct experience. Good and Evil are, on the other hand, not really opposites at all. This problem can be understood through the two kinds of opposites. In the truth of Love, we will see that there is a thin line that separates the the nature of opposites: either opposites are complementing or opposing.

Complementing opposites are basically natural: light and dark, hot and cold, high and low, hard and soft. They are all part and whole of this reality. Nothing separates them except in our minds. The experience of complementing opposite is what most spiritual teachings call Oneness.

Oneness is the ultimate sense of unity. It is deep beneath the physical reality we see. It is the essence of connectedness, no matter how different people, things and events may be. In Oneness, opposites do not oppose; rather, they are always one and the same. They are in the same spectrum. Darkness is simply absence of Light, and Coldness is simply absence of Heat. In absence, we define presence and vice versa. At first this would be mind-boggling, but we will further understand this when we understand the next kind of opposite.

Opposing opposites are distorted view of the opposite, an experience we often call Separation.The ultimate separation ingrained in our beliefs is the opposition of good and evil. From here, all natural opposites seem to be always at war with each other: Black versus white, superior versus inferior, strong versus weak, rich versus poor, man versus woman. We have always believed this illusion that it has perpetuated a culture of survival of the fittest. We destroy each other because we both believe the other is an enemy rather than a friend, or we see ourselves more righteous than others. We have become self-centered creatures that our only survival is our concern. This primal instinct has wiped the dinosaur species millions of years ago.

Seeing beyond the opposites leads us to an awakened soul. We would not see that the mind and body are separate, more so of seeing God and humanity. There is no more rift between two opposites, only understanding them as two expressions of the same essence. Deepak Chopra, the poet-prophet of mind/body medicine, says that "good is the union of all opposites; evil does not exist." As we operate on this consciousness, we would never identify evil as the great opponent of good. Good is the all-encompassing circle that includes all opposites that naturally mirror each other. No more enemies. No more evil.

But why do we still think in opposites. One reason: because the nature of Love is completely whole that it cannot be experienced without a conscious mind that can experience it.

Think of a flower. A flower is perfect in itself. It behaves on its own reality without the need of other flowers' appreciation. But a flower is not conscious of its own existence. We, human beings who are conscious of our own, cannot escape the reality of being conscious of others' existence, be it a fellow human, living beings such as plants, animals, and inanimate things such as nature, heavenly bodies. With this consciousness, we see the flower, appreciate and give name to it. This is the experience of seeing the flower, as if the flower experiences itself through us.


Because of this consciousness, we sense our reality as if separate from us, an illusion most thinkers call duality. I am here, you are there. Kahlil Gibran, the poet-mystic author of The Prophet once said: "Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?" By being down here, we can see the mountain up there. If we are up in the mountain, we cannot see the mountain at all.

This is why opposites exists, not to separate us from everything that exists, but to be conscious of all of them. Love is infinite in many ways, expresses in different forms, and how Love does it is a mystery to all of us. And these seemingly separate expressions of Love, be it in words, deeds, objects, persons, creatures, arts, etc., are all but same manifestation of this Oneness.

This is why opposites exist not to separate us from everything that exists, but to be conscious of all of them.

A man is naturally a man, and his experience is different from that of a woman. They are different forms of the same species: homo sapiens aka human beings. Can we really say that their nature is opposing? How can another human being be born without a man-woman sexual union? It is because of their difference--opposite--that they can complement each other, and their unity bears another creation, or material unfolding of Love that remains intangible and invisible.

It is in this sense of Separation that we can appreciate this sense of Oneness. And the irony is that It is because of this Separation that our consciousness seem to contradict itself. This is known to many as paradox. Christ himself has taught paradoxical teachings, of which loving your enemies is the most well-known. In the realm of separation, truth will naturally contradict in the form of paradox because each opposite can embody the truth of another. Paradoxes are so universal and natural that it traverses all systems of thought. Our notion of opposing opposites tells us to take sides, yet the realization of complementing opposites tells us that we cannot--choosing one means choosing the other. As one meditation teacher puts it, you cannot choose the right wing of a bird more important than the left one. Both of them are important.

Now, we can refresh our ways of seeing opposites. In a paradoxical manner, I am you, and you are me. We both have this same human experience and both of us seek to embody what Love is. So long as we seek for Oneness, through intentions of cooperation, collaboration and participation, rather than competition, domination and manipulation, we are materializing the possibility of Love to exist in our lives, not just a concept, but a true and tangible existence.

The Hero Within

We are in a never-ending search for a hero. Or rather, a superhero. We often visualize a hero like our comic book characters. A hero must be as invincible as Superman, as ingenious as Batman, or as innocent as Harry Potter. Our movies are teeming with these superhero themes and they excite us as we watch them in silver screens, feeling the adrenaline fueled by mind-blowing action and special effects. Superheroes fantastically demonstrate their supernatural powers: flying, dodging bullets, lifting heavy objects, firing lasers, jumping from one building to another, reading another person's mind, accurate reflex, camouflaging, telekinesis, excellent martial art moves, etc.

And often, like kids, we still dream the same fantasies, asking ourselves how we can literally have the same power. Is there any way to cast the same spells, or wield the same sword, or wear the same mask and cape? We also often tell ourselves, given the opportunity to become superheroes, we would promise to give the world the most elusive peace and harmony by busting crime, war, terrorism, helping people who are suffering because of poverty and sickness, and annihilating all forms of corruption. Perhaps it is a dream that has kept aflame in our hearts: unleashing the passionate hero for humanity.

So when Presidents Barrack Obama (for America and the whole world), and Benigno Aquino III (for most Filipinos) were elected, the ideals of a hero in the political arena have been materialized. We have suffered years of blaming and sacrifice, and putting someone in the pedestal to give light to a new change and renewed hope is such a consecration of a hero.

At the same time, we still continue to mythologize our sacred heroes. The heroic personas radiated by ancient sages such as Jesus Christ, The Buddha, Muhammad, Krishna Lao Tzu, Socrates and others are still magnified in our consciousness. Their examples have influenced an expanding universe of belief systems and spiritual revolutions. They have inspired new heroes throughout histories, those whom we call saints, wise men, teachers, geniuses and enlightened beings. They are the face of the immense influence of heroic nobility. This blend of eternal and temporal perspective on heroes both characterize our timeless search for the true meaning of heroism, and our desire to become heroes ourselves.

The insights explored by Joseph Campbell has revealed the face of the hero: he/she is always in the journey of leaving and rediscovering oneself. The striking accuracy of similar patterns in all legends, myths, and even in themes of popular culture can never be denied portraying this archetype of the hero within us. But until we see ourselves as heroes, we would continue the pupal stage of inner chaos in our metamorphosis to become heroes. We would still resist the process, and deprive ourselves the chance to fulfill our heroic destiny. This destiny begins when we decide to let go of our old selves wallowing in fear, anger, doubt, and guilt, and begin to lift up our new selves in the light of Love, peace and harmony with the rest of humanity and the Universe. It is a difficult transition, but the rewards are beyond measure.

"Being a hero is not wiping the enemies out, but Loving them."

We are all in a hero's journey. In one deliberate, and often seen as disjointed premise, our hero's journey is nothing but the discovery of the Love within us. This Love that bears the vast potential, of our supernatural tendencies to create our reality, by moving mountains with just a seed of our faith. But we are still missing this truth. Our insatiable appetite of blaming others, of not taking responsibility for the choices we create whether conscious or subconscious, we continue to halt the emergence of our heroic selves.

Being a hero is not wiping the enemies out, but Loving them. Being a hero is not commanding others to do want we want, but connecting and collaborating with them to share our innermost selves in becoming part of grander solutions for humanity's global problems. Being a hero is not having supernatural powers and use them literally, but how we can symbolically empower ourselves with our lofty and realistic intentions for a better world. We cannot anymore displace our capacities to those who have political, economic and social powers.There is no authority above us when we see the hero within us. Everyone of us is a hero, and we can contribute great change by using our inner power. Coming from a famous line in Spiderman movie: "With great power comes great responsibility." This power is the power of Love.

We can all become heroes. In fact, we are heroes. We must acknowledge our intelligence not to compete or to destroy, but to offer our genius to Love more, in ways we know best within our domains and potentialities. Stop blaming and start acting: this is the dictum of a hero. In the light of Mother Teresa's words, our simple actions must be done with great Love. We have seen great examples, like Mother Teresa, as well as all people behind the global renaissance that awakens the Love within us. Gandhi reminds us again and again, and it echoes in our hero's perspective: the heroic change we want to see will happen only when become that heroic change.

Mariah Carey's song "The Hero" perfectly captures this heroic wisdom: "There's the hero, if you look inside your heart...And you finally see the truth, that the hero lies in you." Within our hearts, there lies the Love that longs to resurrect the hero that we can become. As we Love ourselves, our families, our friends, our enemies, and our whole humanity, our Loving hero within is now reborn.

The Perishables

Observing everything in this world is pretty much threatening, especially if you come closer to the truth: nothing is static or fixed, everything is changing, everything is impermanent. To realize this is a sweeping dilemma, and I have observed this in many instance. Like a small toddler I saw a few years ago who is now an almost six-footer teenager. Or seeing a very different appearance of a place that I haven't visited for years, being shocked of contrasting it to the past image imprinted in my mind. Or some new stuff that I bought, like a shirt, a pair of shoes or sandals; after several months, what used to be a new, shining stuff with a resin-like aromatic scent has worn down bit by bit, fraying and chipping in many corners, and its glowing quality has been heavily scratched. I have seen this reality in spending my money, or going to a certain place, or experiencing a new situation. They are all gone and the only trace that remains is my memory of them. All these things are known as the Perishables.

It seems that we need to edit what the Buddha has taught. Life is not suffering at all. Life becomes a suffering because of the truth that every thing in life is actually a Perishable. Nothing is not a perishable. Every thing that has begun will about to end. This is the cycle of truth. We all suffer because we have always thought that Perishables won't expire at all. Whenever we cling to this idea, our lives become a chain of miseries, because we tend to regret to the time that has passed, cling to the realities that have long gone in our midst, and fix the things, and even people, the way we see them. And we will find out that doing these are futile ways to live, wasting our precious life in making sure that whatever we want to stay must stay the way we want. And, ironically, we often choose to do this than to let go, and continue to suffer, despite the desire to break free and be happy. Running after the Perishables will soon cause us to perish with them.

"Running after the Perishables will soon cause us to perish with them."

There is a profound wisdom in understanding the Perishables that I have noticed in my contemplations. The soon I get worried, I automatically sense that I am worrying of fixing the Perishable, of grasping its slippery texture, and find it easing out from my grip. It makes me feel sick, tired, wasted, and anxious, and soon I lose my control over the situation, especially over my mental composure. This experience has led me to see what I worry about is a Perishable. The sooner I see this I immediately engage myself to a timeless retrospection, imagining what my emotional and mental state would be like after 2 years of recalling this very moment. Would I still be anxious? Or would I laugh out loud, or simply smile for seeing that those Perishables have long gone perished? And I would come to my senses that I have nothing to worry about. I relax and accept things and events as they are, even if they are my inner anxieties or my outer worries.

Whatever perishes returns to the cycle of creation and re-creation, and it means I have to let them go to that process. Any people, material things or situation that comes across my path are all Perishables in one way or the other. It is not that they are unimportant, but to see them as Perishables is to honor their once role in our Soul, and as they return to the source of creation, we also honor their process of renewing the energy of the source. If we keep the Perishables in our heart, we will clutter our attention and limit our movement on our sacred space. They will appear to be junk that rusts and stinks in our consciousness. This is the call to clean our space, and let the Perishables perish in their own natural way. As they perish, we cultivate a new growth in our awareness. We allow the growth of Love.

I keep on reminding myself that if I am beginning to worry on the Perishable, I must stop, and let Love fill my heart. For I know that Love is the only stable and bedrock state that I can trust and cling to, that I can firmly grasp and grip. Despite the irony that Love is an essence and its nature is intangible, it is the most tangible truth I can ever hold on to. Love, and the Perishables that grow from its fertile ground remains ever-changing, but will never, ever perish.

Building Blocks

Of all the toys I had as a little boy, I think Lego for me was the best. My fresh imagination creates structures using Lego blocks of different shapes, sizes, and colors. Perhaps I wasn't just playing with them; I was creating possibilities. It was my early days of creative exploration. I could imagine all sorts of forms, structures and humanoid characters. I could create different kinds of aircraft and spaceships that can travel to my boundless fantasies. I was in my own virtual universe made together by my Lego blocks and my infinite imagination.

Such a toy is ingenious, says Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder in his novel on the history of philosophy, Sophie's World. Lego gives children not only the power to create from simple blocks, but also the power to destroy. Here, the essence of destruction is not about to eliminate or crush anything. It is, in fact, the very impetus of re-creation. The process of destruction is not so much of destroying, but of re-creating. Whenever kids pick the blocks and attached them according to the forms they wish, thereafter they may simply choose to disintegrate them and bring them back to the same basic blocks they once were. Then, they can create whatever new forms they wish from the same set of blocks. Nothing is being destroyed, after all. Not a single block is wasted. Every block can be used again as a part of another created form.

Is the Universe made the same way? Are we not, living and nonliving, made from the same ingenious building block, the same stuff that stars and galaxies are made? If so, then whatever is created in our material and physical reality will soon perish or disintegrate naturally, and the "blocks" that have made them will be used again to create new physical forms? The constant process of creation and re-creation lies in the ingenious hand of the Absolute, the Source of all basic building blocks that makes every form be formed and transformed, the one we often call God--the one otherwise known as Love.

How does Love create and re-create? Such words cannot describe it. For the process of knowing Love is beyond the specific processes of creation and re-creation. In the realm of Love, both of them are indistinguishable. And it's own building block is itself. Love creates and re-creates Love. As Love creates Love, it manifest in millions of ways. Love is the very essence which builds all the color, the forms and the possibilities of our reality.

"Love creates and re-creates Love...Love is the very essence which builds all the color, the forms and the possibilities of our reality."

Take sometime to observe the place where you are right now. Every thing is made of that essence, of that basic atom or quantum particles, so to speak, which, according to physicist, make anything real and tangible. You and the table and the computer and wall and the water are made of the same particle, forming in different ways and manifesting in different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. With those differences, experience becomes diverse, and expressions becomes myriad, all according to their functions that support every turn of your very existence. Nonetheless, all of them, including you, are impermanent. In time, we will perish, but process remains the same, creating and re-creating innumerable forms, having their unique, kaleidoscopic nature. Love is understood in this process, by seeing that this is the endless dance of creation and re-creation, like the dance of Shiva.


While we often see stumbling blocks in our creative processes, we can begin to see and use them as building blocks of Love, from which all creative momentum accelerates us to the peak dynamics of creation and recreation. Like the Lego block, no block can be a waste, for each has its purpose to build and form the grand structure our imagination creates. We transform each block and make them again a part of new forms, of new transformations.

Love is creating and re-creating Love moment to moment. You and I are both creations and re-creations of Love. The beauty of this is that we are not just at the mercy of those processes. We are, ourselves, the processes of creation and re-creation. All we have to do is to participate consciously. So we can begin to create and recreate Love with full consciousness. So we can form and transform the world into Love. And the only building block we can use is Love.

Labor of Love

Work is Love made visible -- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Today, as you read this, perhaps you are taking your break from an endless number of chores or tasks you have started or about to finish. I sense the feeling of being unproductive, despite doing a lot and spending great amount of effort, time and money. For the longest time you have believed that the things you do can bring you more meaning and purpose in your life. And you often equate this meaning with a brilliant career, a new set of skills, a fantastic relationship, or any expensive material possession. They are all good at their ends. Yet after achieving a few of them, if not all, you still feel the void. Something is looming, waiting to be discovered. It's a black hole of uncertainty. And it remains untouchable, and you are driven away by that fear that might sweep your life off your feet.

Why is it that even if you do things, you still have that feeling of being adrift in the ocean of the unknown. You have been asking yourself "What's next?" a lot of times, and trying to have fun or hooking yourself up to something enjoyable and addictive so you don't bother yourself answering that very difficult question. Because deep inside, whatever things you do remains empty, until such time you take the risk of discovering the answer way beyond the predictability of your life. There is more to do, but that thing is more than just any backbreaking stuff. It is more of an undertaking that neither your career nor your possessions can equal, yet both of them provide the tools you need to accomplish it.

Why not rethink your life right now? Why not see it again in a larger different perspective? In retrospect, try to see what you have worked for and what you have accomplished. Embrace all those things you did and had in the past, and those that you presently do and have. See all those failures and blunders and mistakes as part of your learning process. And see your small successes and big achievements not just rewards, but keys to the meaningful and purposeful life you are about to commit. You are here not as an organism of random biological processes. You are not here by accident in a seemingly unfriendly world. You are not alone in this vast universe waiting for your certain death. While life is full of suffering, it is in the realization of it that makes life more joyful. This is what you need to accomplish. To live your life full of joy, going above any pain and pleasure. But the question is, "How?"

Seeing the worth of your Soul is where you start. You don't need any credentials, or implements, or possessions, or rewards to fill in this inner space of worth that you often think as a void. You need not to capitalize on what you have or what you do, but on what you ARE. By the virtue of being a human, you are enough. To realize your worth without judging yourself against the standard of this world is the beginning of your true Soulwork. This is where the "next" comes in.

In this way, you are reliving again your Life as conscious as possible. You are not anymore an automaton who follows what the world dictates you to do. You are not just a rank-and-file jobber who is often measured by the things you do or have. You cannot be deterred in fulfilling your true life simply by being compared or prejudiced. Because you are precious enough to be you, and from being you, you can open yourself to the wide breadth of your potential. You can now begin to put grander meaning to everything you have, for they are the tools you can use to fulfill your purpose. You can see that the things you do are not just mechanical duties, but your great endeavor done little by little, adding to the magnificent scheme of inner and outer possibilities. Your Soul is doing a great job in allowing the Universe to reveal itself to you, simply by making yourself revealed in full awareness, of showing that you are conscious enough to see yourself as a work and product of Love. Each thing you hold is empowered with your Love. Each thing you create becomes Love. Whatever that is, it becomes an instrument of Love.

You are not anymore trading your blood, sweat and tears off. There is no need to die for any strenuous and stressful work. Because everything you do leads you to a fuller life. What you do is done with Love, a wordless prayer that expressed through your hands, a faith that is worth a thousand labor. Being you is a labor of Love. This is enough.

Writing from the Soul

photo by mpclemens

At the age of seven I was thinking of what talent I do really have. Is it dancing, I thought. Perhaps singing, since I used to get up on stage and perform. Or cooking. As a pre-schooler, we were asked to bring eggs and hotdogs and pancake to fry and serve them for lunch. I enjoyed doing them. Well, those little things, as a kid, were things of enjoyment, of being in that moment without really worrying what will happen in the future. So it didn't occur to me that there is something more that I could really do.

At age eleven, I started reading a poem in Filipino. That poem ignited my deep interest on poetry, which was then the spark that has made me explore writing up to now. This newfound power compelled me to write my own story, create imaginative characters which I used to do while playing on my own, making humanoid toys converse with each other. Through writing I could create my own world of magic and possibility. I write stories on a yellow pad, a bond paper, or even on a flattened cigarette carton boxes. Inspired by children's fantasies on TV, I would write my own alamat (legends), fables, and fairy tales. I even create my own version of well known children's stories. During my grade school days, I would go to the library and devour on Filipino high school textbooks. After my stay, I would bring at least two textbooks with me, so I could read them the whole weekend. When my mom bought me a typewriter as a gift, I typed stories voraciously, spending my holy weeks madly banging the typewriter with endless ideas, stories and poems that spring from my imagination. These are my writing adventures, all of which are foundational for all the writings on Love you have read on this blog.

"Writing is my Soul. It is my being.
It is my becoming."

This time, I am rediscovering writing. It is my great tool. No, it is more than a tool. Writing is my Soul. It is my being. It is my becoming. It is the best thing I want to do, to enliven and to achieve. It is not just a routine of scribbling sentences and paragraphs. Writing is my form of expression, a personal experience, a timeless adventure. In writing, I can write my own world, bring back my wonderful memories, chronicle my own history, describe my experiences, learn from my inner creativity, relieve my stressful days, talk to myself and to God, share others my heart, and explore my true self. My writing is as unique as me, as specific as my DNA, for it allows me to create my personal dimension manifested in words. Sooner I may die and be forgotten for years, yet the gift of my writing to the world will outlast centuries, just as many writers who have lived their lives and left their legacies. Writing becomes the fossil of their once living beings, a blueprint of their entity and a witness to the fulfillment of their souls. In truth, I am bringing these same effects in my life.

Writing from the Soul has led me to find that everything around me can be captured through unspoken words untainted by worldly meaning. There is suchness in each truth I see, and each can offer that power to become written experience. The sea can become an inkwell or the earth can become paper. Or the sky a blank screen and the stones a keyboard. Every movement in nature has a dynamic awakening of words, in which every heart can read Love.

I am now writing a book on Love. Of all my writing adventures, this one is the ultimate. As words spring forth from this book, each rings the wonder and magic of Love. My Soul writes its own enlightenment, as Love brings light as its message to the world.

My greatest fulfillment, and perhaps equally as my greatest success, is to write from the depth of my Soul. Yes, I could write in many ways, about many things, yet to write from the Soul is much more transformative. I have enabled myself to see things in the eyes of Love, and to account for those sights, hindsights, and insights. Bringing life to Love through words is a magnificent achievement. I feel that this goes the same for Souls who have chosen to express Love through music or arts or helping each other, and the expression of Love becomes their own radical unfolding. The same is true for my writing experience. Writing is the very key to the immense potentiality of my Soul. I have realized that if I'm going to seek first the kingdom of God, I have to find it through writing. Because this kingdom of God, which I call and experience as Love, remains formless until the time I weave words that would express it. Then Love becomes tangible and real. And from there, all forms of Love would flow incessantly, the blessings that come from my realization of Love.
