Love is Your Natural State of Being
Written By Margot Zaher and Jafree Ozwald
Love is who you naturally are. It is not some state that you have to try to attain through magically acts of Grace or years of therapy. It is who you are in the core of your being. You exude love naturally and effortlessly without having to do a thing. The vibration of love is what resides inside of you at all times. You never have to try to love someone or yourself. Loving is the simply and naturally act of getting out of your ego mind and into your heart.
So why are we not always loving to everybody and everyone we meet and interact with on a daily basis? While love is always flowing from our heart, these vibrations of love can get obscured by ego-based fears and limiting thoughts. When we operate out of our ego instead of our hearts, we may unconsciously block the love vibration from flowing outward towards others. Cutting off our love energy is like driving a car with 2 cylinders instead of 4. The car will run, yet it will have a hard time going up any hills or going very fast. When you allow your love vibration to naturally radiate out to all you meet and know, you naturally fall deeply in love with the beauty and divine essence of all people that you encounter.
"Every loving thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help, regardless of the form it takes." ~ A Course in Miracles
The secret to being and living always from your natural state of love is quieting the chaos in your mind. Your mind with its incessant chatter, worrying, and general craziness takes your attention out of the present moment so that you cannot feel the Divine Love that you are. When you are fully rooted in the present moment, you are fully rooted in yourself and can feel the love that you are radiating outwards into the world. We invite you right now to try an experiment. Take a few moments to get really quiet. Take a few deep breaths in out and out, and then just let yourself be still. After you feel still and centered, open your eyes and look at the world around you as if you had never seen it before. Feel the freshness and newness of being alive, of being a part of the beauty and bliss of existence. As you relax deeply into the present moment, you will naturally feel a deep sense of love emerge for all things. This feeling of love may wear the disguise of peace, contentment, joy, bliss, gratitude, and a myriad of other Source like state. These are all facets of the energy called love.
"Love is the radiance, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself... Love is overflowing joy. Love is when you have seen who you are; then there is nothing left except to share your being with others. Love is when you have seen that you are not separate from existence." ~ Osho
The ego has played many games over the course of your life. It has imagined that love was only attainable from outside of itself. It has spent thousands of hours in the hot pursuit of love only to find that love from the outside world seems to vanish like mirages in the desert. The only love that is sustainable is the love that is your natural inherent state of being, that which is flowing from within you. In order to feel more of this love that is who you are, you may need to let go of limiting and contracted thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself. So many people have been led into falsely believing that something is wrong with them, and that they are not loveable. Therefore, they do not fully love themselves or others because their love vibration is obscured by these false notions. The truth is that you are love, loveable, and so loved because you exist. It's time to say good-bye to these old ego games, and embrace the divine love that you truly are.
