love = sharing

Love = sharing. I have been thinking about this in relationship to the series of classes I have just done. I love the material, love people; love learning and so to teach becomes an easy and natural “next step” to share my knowledge and love.

A lot of my blogs are written for clients and have been inspired by their questions and this is one of them .

I have been thinking more on this sharing of love and love and sharing. I spent a delightful impromptu evening with my friends on Sunday and could feel the energy of all mingling and expanding and supporting as we interacted and shared our thoughts and “aha’s” with each other. The comfort and ease within us and with sharing same energy with others …from close friend to strangers…was evident throughout the evening. This recognition of our respective comfort in our own skin is really only possible when we know ourself and live from the energy of love and freely communicate. When we are living from the mindset of loving emotions we want – and are open – to sharing this energy freely and without filters. It translates to a love of life. I feel so privileged to know these people and have them as my friends. My life is all the richer because of them.

The antithesis of this open living of the spiritual ethical values is to refuse to share thoughts, dreams, ideas, concepts, the up and downs of life and learning. All of which is really about refusing to open our mind. To not use our thinking mind is to deny our spirit. We have to use our thinking mind to get to the loving emotions and the spirit senses to become a spirit consciousness. This is the pattern of the mind. There are no short cuts.

We can be socially active and still be living in isolation by not sharing ourselves openly though communication with the energy of love and truth. Instead we hold back our thoughts and emotions because of our judgement – of self - reflected externally and this negative energy is then thrust upon others. This energy is abusive on all levels. Oftentimes those we consider nearest and dearest to us will get the brunt of this controlling energy field. This truly is a person isolated from spirit. I look back to my early years and see this “protective” pattern of living because I did not want to be hurt which is so amusing because only the ego fears being hurt. This is how sneaky the ego fear beliefs are. This external reflection is really just the ego doing its best to preserve itself in all its negative delusional “glory” by not opening the mind to change and to grow. So we control and judge to maintain the ego shell around us. This is how we isolate and separate from the internal energy of the love of spirit and from others, which leaves us very uncomfortable in our skin an unable to truly know ourself.
