Show Me The Meaning Of Love








Quote from Dalai Lama:


"If you only think of yourself, your mind gets smaller, narrower. Then even small problems seem big.


But if you think about others, your mind is larger, more vast. Then even big problems don't seem impossible."


I am a believer that love is all around us.  Love never eludes us.  Love never abandons us.  It has always been there, even in our darkest hours.  Even in our blackest hours.  Yes, and for argument sake - but please do know of my strong conviction and affirmation in the concept of Absolute Love - I must agree that Love can seem to elude amongst many of us. Nevertheless, love would always call to us all. 

Mahatma Gandhi said "Love never claims, it never gives.  Love ever suffers, never resents, never revenges itself".  Spoken from a great individual, Mother Teresa, she said "we have not come into the world to be a number, we have been created for a purpose, for great things: To love and be loved".

But why do many of us feel that we often live in loneliness and that we keep chasing after a rainbow that seems so far fetched?  Perhaps, it is the familiar that usually eludes us in life?  What is before our nose is what we see last?

The battle (let's just use this extreme word to describe our sense of loneliness) that so often we are fighting are shared by all of us.  I hear them often, from the young to the old.  From a tea conversation to online lamentation of a cry of sadness and disappointments.  Of the lack off and the absence of love in some individuals.

We often fool ourselves to think that it is uniquely our own.  We create a dominant thought to disgrace ourselves from not deserving to be loved.  From the psychological delusional bamboozled of falling in love and to love in return.

Then, there are people that will not stop finding love even if love hurts them so much.  Question is, if love hurts, and it is so painful, why do we still want it?  Why do we take the risk of a heartbreak after experiencing it over and over again?

For love to be Just Love, we need to expand the consciousness within us.  We need to have it planted into our sub-conscious mind.  For it to expand outside our thinking realm, into our awareness and actions.  To let the energetic vibrations to flow with the natural process of life.  We need to leave behind our expectations and not allowing them to interfere with this natural flow.

We need to manage our expectations.  We need to know that we are a seed of love.  We need to understand the psychology of love.  Falling in love is a magical experience that happens between people.  Love is an emotional bond between any individuals - like with parents, siblings, friends and partner.  We need to share our feelings and care and affection from someone so that we feel precious.  Love is psychologically and socially necessary for every individual.

Our primary motivation as human beings is to expand the self and to increase our abilities and our effectiveness.  There is no limit to love.  It is this wonder that we strive for it even more.  We have to constantly take chances, even after being rejected and losing that love when things do not work out.  The saddest thing to happen to life is when we can no longer take the risk, that we harden our heart to the caring of others and expect them to reject and hurt us.

Love never dies a natural death.  However, it dies from our neglect and abandonment.  It dies from our blindness and indifference and of being taken for granted.  Eventually, love dies of weariness and from not being nurtured.  It is said that the great tragedy of life is not that men perish but that they cease to love.

We should strive to live our lives to continue to seek love, and be Love.  We should not allow the energy of love to subside nor to let it dimmed our essence of life.  As long as we continue to love, some failure is bound to occur.

However, love itself has no failures.  To be unsuccessful is not the same as failure.  Our disappointment is more likely to provide us an opportunity to learn and to grow.  There is no failure except in us no longer trying.  The good thing is, we would always gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes.

I strongly believe that all of us often are in search of love, of what love is truly is.  Of its emotion that will lead us to happiness.  Of a spontenous feeling of inner peace, joy and contentment which is the result of introspection when we turn within and contact with the seed of love in our inner nature.

Unfortunately, there are some that choose to think rather dominantly that love and happiness often elude them.  The sociology of our life often makes us much a negative individual rather than to be positive.  When our desires are not fulfilled, we fault love.  We become unhappy.  We blame cirumstances but never ourselves.  Little do we want to accept our attitude, our consciousness.  It is always easy for us to feel disheartened.

The beauty with love is that it finds us.  It will always find us.  It is an inherent quality of the soul but we can only embrace it when we have a true perception of our soul nature.  We need to realize and recognize that our life is also governed with the Law of Cause and Effect, that in some ways, we are here on Mother Earth governed by our Karma.

While we are liquidating past debts, we are often sowing seeds for our future harvest too.  We should try to attain to the right perception of existing things by acquiring the right knowledge.  It is this knowledge that will bring us the solace and comfort.

Live and let live.  Live and Let God.  Love is the only essence of life and the light of our soul.  With love, we feel more alive.  Love brings enchantment, enthusiaism and that boost of energy to do something extra in life.  With love, every possibilities and every opportunites are open.  Of course, it does bring about the duality of life where fears and worries will come along too.


Love that never ends is Love.

.. and I love you ...

The Voice of God





There's God in every one of us.  There's a voice of God in every one of us.  There's a spark of God in everyone of us.  There's an act of God in everyone of us.  We should simply live our life experiencing itself in every situation, in every permutation, possibility.  We don't have to ask too many questions, just live.

In every moment, there is God-behind-the-moment experiencing itself taking every opportunity to learn of itself within itself.  Every choice, in everything that we do, is a moment to choose the right from the wrong.  Still, in every wrong, there is some right.  Basically, there is light in everything and it is just a matter of our perception to accept it.

When we accept this, God behind every moment, God is our co-pilot having given us our ego and His sparks.  Together, it becomes the source of our energy flowing through our own consciousness and its layers.  We just have to carry this light, the essence of life, to treat humankind with more love, respect and compassion.

That much I believe.  That much I see and hear, and would want to see and hear, in everything and in every one of us.  Every soul, every moment has something beautiful in it, even if it is only the tiniest potential for something good. 

I believe when we are to see the beauty in our daily consciousness, in our Being, there is a divine God that is all in all of us.  That this divinity lives within our soul, in every souls and in every moment.

One of my favourite author, Paulo Coelho in his book "The Witch of Portobello" wrote 'Christ surrounded himself with beggars, prostitutes, tax collectors and fishermen'.  What he probably might have meant is that there is a divine spark in every soul and is never extinguished.  It is said that the opposite of LOVE is fear, not hate.  Generally, we just feel indifferent.

In this book, the story winds around Athena's dilemma and her tearing quest to fill up the spaces within her, the negative, the silences in her life, to answer her questions of self, of will and of truth.  It reflects upon us that everyone of us has encountered a completely different person at different times as if a creation of our own selves.

I grew up in an organized religion.  Just like any other major world religion, we were told that God is somewhere out there.  In order for us to reach out to Him, we need to go outside of ourselves.  We need to be 'outside ourselves' to find the answers to our prayers, to find the wisdom we need to live with.  For our souls to be guided.

What I didn't see was the divine spark that had been with me all this while.  That this same divine spark is in all the people around me, the moment around me.  We are our own teacher that just need to inspire ourselves to give the best in order to discover what we have already known.

Paulo said 'You are what you believe yourself to be.  Don't be like those people who believe in "positive thinking" and tell themselves that they're loved and strong and capable.  You don't need to do that because you know it already.  And when you doubt it, which happens, I think quite often at this stage of evolution, do as I suggested.' 

He added 'Instead of trying to prove that you're better than you think, just laugh.  Laugh at your worries and insecurities.  View you anxieties with humor.  It will be difficult at first, but you'll gradually get used to it.  Now go back and meet all those people who think you know everything.  Convince yourself that they're right, because we all know everything.  It's merely a question of believing.  Believe.'

Often, I would like to do some reflection at the beginning of every new year.  It is about making for an unshakeable trust to find for the meaning of success and suffering in my life.  To take stock of what I have had learned and knowing what I had fought for.  To accept that there are sufferings and there are defeats.  And, to accept thereafter that it is better to lose some of the battles in the struggles of my dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what I was fighting for.

What sparks me on this topic, and only to re-affirm deep into my believe, is when I received an email from a friend.  It filled with profound messages to what I have always wanted to believe.  It also came at the right time since I was dwelling on an invitation to attend another spiritual event.

God, in another divine spark through a friend, has somewhat spoken to me.  I just have to listen to it and to take charge.  I have been an individual that is fully comfortable where I am today.  I have no big desires to keep on searching. 

Personally, the only thing that I ever need to do today is to S.I.T. - to Stop thinking/feeling/doing and to Inhale and Think.  This is the Power of Choice for me to  understand, to comprehend, to practice and to internalize all those lessons that I had been given.

In Paulo's "The Witch of Portobello", Athena's search takes her through a journey of many phases until she realizes that silence is what defines the sound.  I need to find that awareness.  I need to be one with consciousness.  The only way we learn is when we open the door of higher consciousness, this ever powerful energy, to bring about for our daily awareness in all moments of our our life.

Let me end this writing by sharing the content of that email.  (Those bold and underline are what resonate to me. It is the voice of God to affirm my stand and my believe.)

What Is Your Purpose In Life?
Written by Nicole Lanning

When we think of our soul purpose in life that comes to mind? Most people think it is what we are here to do, accomplish, learn, teach, experience, and for the most part they are right. We all have a purpose in life – what we are here to do, and everyone’s is different. But how do you know what your soul purpose is in life and what can you do with this information once you find it out.

The trick is when you are searching for your purpose in life is to look within. No one on the outside world can tell you what your purpose is. They can give you suggestions by reading your energy, psychic readings, and sometimes even tarot cards, but if you keep looking elsewhere, other than within, for your purpose in life you will always be searching. The biggest lesson I can ever give you on finding your purpose is to believe in yourself enough to search from within to find this. The more you search outside of this the more you will continue to search. You have to believe in yourself first and foremost and trust that the answers are true.

So, how do you go about searching for your purpose in life? You start by taking some time for yourself with something that resonates within you such as journaling, meditations, or just some quiet time to think and reflect. When you are taking this time you have to look within and find what makes you truly happy. Is it helping people? Maybe teaching? Possibly a dream that really gets you inspired? Everyone’s soul purpose in life is going to be different, and no two are alike, as we are all unique individuals..

It is about finding that one true thing that you love to do, give, share, teach, or spread the word about that makes you happy. If you are struggling with finding that one true thing, keep searching from within and don’t give up, as it does not always come to you on the first try. You may narrow things down a bit, but haven’t hit the nail on the head yet, but it isn’t a time to give up, but to keep searching within. When you find that one thing that you are extremely passionate about, and that is the one thing that you could do the rest of your life, money aside in this way of thinking, than you know you have found your purpose in life.

Once you get to this point, it is about taking action to put your purpose into physical format. This will be the best decision you have ever made and you will be on the right pathway for your own unique purpose in life!

To This Little Creature ...








In Memory Of Meow Meow



Meow Meow


I was surprised by my own reaction.  How I ended up crying.  How I felt so painful, all over again.  I felt a sudden emptiness.  I felt an increased sense of  lost.  I came to miss my angel, Ruby badly.

Earlier today, I received an email from a dearest friend from Thailand.  I was told that the cat, Meow Meow, which he had taken in 14 years ago had just passed on.  Meow Meow was a special cat.

Meow Meow was a neighbour's cat but chose to live with my friend when he was just little.  Somehow, this little creature bonded with my friend.  Soon, Meow Meow became a house pet.  He became a constant companion and an integral part of the house.

I would always remember Meow Meow for his gentleness.  The gentleness in his eyes and his sensitivity.  I may not like cats much but Meow Meow often made me smiled.  After the death of Ruby, I sensed that Meow Meow could feel my lost.  I just felt that Meow Meow understood my lost and was much closer and loving with me.  There were times where he could just be looking at me or came closer to my legs as though to say 'you will be fine'.

Cats, just like dogs, are very sensitive to our behaviour.  It seems that they just know when we are happy or sad.  We may think that they are sleeping when they actually are watching us through their half-closed eyes.

To you Meow Meow, I am praying for your soul to rest in peace.  You are now in a better place where there is no longer suffering.  You are in that Rainbow Bridge filled with plenty of food, water and sunshine.  You will lead a warm, comfortable and healthy life.  Your kidney and liver problems shall be restored back to health.  All of your needs are taken care off.


You will be missed, dearly.


In Loving Memory
