Relationships, Love, and Being “In Love”

The following is an article I wrote in response to http://www.soulhangout.net/lets-talk-about-love/

In my spiritual studies and in my experience as an intuitive, I have noticed many tragedies of mis-information taught to the masses by both traditional education and the media when it comes to relationships, and I believe this brainwashing of the open-minded has lead to the 85% divorce rate average we now see in the United States.

I believe Augustine to be quite correct, as a general rule. I believe being in love and loving someone are two drastically different things, and this difference being the difference between happiness and suffering for many romantic relationships that get caught up in the idea of being "in love". Movies romanticize and idealize being "in love", and often fail to show this crucial point of that state's illusory magical qualities.

In fact, most people's beliefs about love are more focused on the feelings of being "in love", and few have any idea what real love is. When the dust settles, they often find themselves having moved too fast, made too many assumptions, and driving each-other away as quickly as they came together. Pre-conceived ideas of what the "ideal" relationship "should be" and the reality of what naturally occurs after the stigma of the "in love" state wears off often combine with fear of past failures and unpleasant or even painful experiences often lead to a rapid, destructive collapse and painful disconnection of souls that often leaves emotional scars.

Most people end up jaded after only a couple such experiences, and build an emotional wall around themselves, afraid to love again. Without understanding the nature of how the world works, they then often draw to themselves people who match their new beliefs, lowered expectations and fears about love and relationships, and confirm their fears in the process. Thus begins the downward spiral and crash so many young people today find themselves experiencing, and the depression that comes with it. They have no idea that a few simple changes, understanding a few key principles, could bring them to a realization of the idealistic relationships or at least a more lasting and fulfilling version of the kind of love they truly desire.

The problem is, most people have no idea how to achieve such a relationship, do not understand the principles on which their relationships, let alone their lives, operate. The rules and principles of the Divine Game of life have been lost to the burned libraries of Rome and Egypt, the fear and ignorance of the religious book burnings or misguided generations long past. The masses have created their own ideas, misconceptions, and there-by preconceptions of life and relationships, and doomed generation after generation to ignorance and misery.

Anyone who disagrees with the social norm is labeled a deviant, rebel, weird, or lunatic, and therefore shunned, ridiculed or killed by the ignorant; often by those who claim such a man, no matter the title or name given him, as their Lord and Master: though they know neither the soul behind the body, nor his teachings and heart. The businesses of religion and politics have done more to destroy love and relationships than anything else, using it as a tool for distraction and manipulation, and limiting its understanding, expression and taboos to the dismal physical appearance that is a mere shadow of real divine love. Thus the chain of ignorance and suffering has continued for thousands of years unhindered, distorting and destroying all it touches.

The only hope for a recovery from such ignorance lies in the openness of the few, often the young, to the truths outside the social norm. The awakening of humanity has begun, and with it has come a battle between the assumptions and ignorance of the old and the passion for truth of the few but ever-growing awakening souls. We feel it all around us, yet most do not suspect the literal ways in which this war is being fought upon our very minds and bodies. The current rulers of society struggle to find excuses to drug the young, poison the food with chemicals that cloud the mind and distort the spiritual structure and instruments of divine communication, leaving behind the teachings and yearnings of the heart for the obsessions of the mind and body.

We are finally coming out of the dark ages we have been deceived into believing ended long ago, throwing off the fears and limiting beliefs of the past and proving the true and divine ways of being to our very souls. The divine messengers shower truth upon the masses and uncover the deceptions of the past so quickly and so pervasively, that the darkness has little hope of keeping up. The sciences of unity and the power of belief guide humanity to the questioning and truth-seeking necessary for the understanding of life and the freedom of their spirits once and for all. The upheaval is tangible, and the passion for truth unquenchable in the hearts and minds of the awakening humanity.

So begins our return to the truth, the higher understanding of the principles by which man may free himself from suffering and achieve the relationships and fulfilling life the heart and soul cry for in the night. Physical pleasures quickly lose their joy, the emotions bare their mark upon the body much more rapidly, and time itself seems to drive us onward on our quest for understanding, happiness and peace. Our stomachs churn and our chests tighten with every lie, and shine with happiness and peace at every truth. Awakening and empowerment are at last within the grasp of the masses as the truths once kept in secret are poured out in divine love by the messengers of truth.

Real love is seen to be a way of life, a state of being, a chosen expression of the spiritual connection which fills us with joy, excitement and the feeling of being “home” as the soul behind the body tastes unity once more. Physical lust is seen as the empty shadow lacking the divine expression of spiritual unity, the energetic fountain of youth and key to the awakening of the soul. Divine unconditional love is seen once again as the highest of the many forms of love which have gone mostly unobserved by mortal man of the last age.

The physical body itself is seen to be but a construct for the physical existence and expression of the spirit guiding its movement in the physical level of an immense multi-verse. For the first time in centuries, the truths taught by the original divine inspirers of the world religions are once again within the grasp of mortal man on the verge of achieving the spiritual immortality they came to inspire.
