Show Me The Meaning Of Love Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, January 26, 2011

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 Karmic Folds Written by : Reiki Sanctuary Date : Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Nevermind whether the word, "karma", which may sound religiously inclined and fixated towards religious systems to furnish us with some sort of an escape clause.  One that will, supposedly, alleviate our sufferings for past misdeeds or for us to escape responsibility totally . 

Or it influences a threatening prank to instill fear in us and to make us a goodie goon to follow everything by the book.  Nor does the word take kindly any good intention and only gravitated towards unfortunate state and unfavourable outcomes.  Or it is used like  a sword to spill curse on someone else.  The truth is, "we are what we eat; we become what we think about".

All good deeds go unpunished and it is supposed to be so.  When we smile at people, generally we get them smiling back at us.  The act calls for sincerity.  From the conviction within the soul.  When the intention is good, the action is good.  And, the effect fetches moral edifice of a higher purpose in life.

What we give out is what we get back.  This is the principle of karma.  As we sow, so shall we reap.  What goes around comes around.  Whatever we send out returns in folds.  The same thing when negative or positive actions, or thoughts, remain that way until they expend the energy by action upon the originator.  Our actions and thought processess are like an echo.  What we act and think produce effects.  In fact, they create a much wider spectrum of consequences, like it or not upon us.  They, voluntarily or otherwise, generate phenomenal power transforming conventional notion into chains of events.

Our lives are much ruled by cause and effect.  It seems that we are living in a newtonian universe, one pretty much keeps every energy in motion.  Every actions produce an equal and opposite reactions.  Every end entails a beginning.  And, every beginning has to begin. 

We should live in this awareness in our conscious state.  To carry and empower qualitative substance in our thought energy.  In our words.  In our actions and intention.  The only evidence of substance against us is us.  We cannot dismiss the fact that all the chains of reactions, experienced in our lives, are directly the results transferred into motion.  In the law of attractions and vibrations, all energy form a nuclear chain reaction into series of coincidences and outbreaks.

It is just a matter of observation, perhaps with deeper awareness and indepth reflections, to accept this non physical behaviour with the basic fundamental of physics.  When love is radiated, feel the attractions that come back to us.  Rewards may not come directly from the object that we give to but in the many forms of blissful wider network of social cohesion and interactions elsewhere.

Have we not wondered in all the events in our lives are often synonymous, at one point or another, with our past acts and intentions? The reward of deeds depends upon them - and they must be pure, where every person will get the rewards according to what he has acted and intended. 

Love begets love.  The alchemy that transcends into healthy mind, soul and body.  That surpassed beyond the limits of expectations.  An intense emotional attachment that far exceeds bonds and integrity.

Love will not come into fruition to someone who, in his everyday life, empowers even a scattering negative vibration.  When we internalised the feeling of hate, anger, jealousy - the resonance of all negative acts and intentions, the karmic folds compounded the difficulties.  We will warp in despair.

What we do to others, there will be many others that will do the same thing back to us.  This is why negative workings - acts and intentions, are so dangerous.  Our misfortunes are not a bad case of luck but the very mechanical fashion by cause and effect.  We had passed the energy into motion in the past only to materialise its imparting motion in the same direction to realise sooner or later.
