Finding Love

So many people are looking for love. We are all searching to find greater meaning, happiness and peace in our lives. Why do so few find it? because they are searching outside of themselves. All the love that you could ever want and then some already lies within you. When your mind hears that it wants to turn away, but deep within the core of your being you know that it is true. This is the message of all the prophets, saviors and saints: God is love. Through God Realization you find the love that you are seeking.

Love is what created you. Not just the love expressed through your parents, but the very life force that caused your cells to multiply, to grow, to be expressed as a living being. This expression of life is love. The spirit that animates your existence is an expression of this love, and when you tap into that spirit you tap into the source of love itself. Love is never missing, because God is never "not there." This primordial expression of consciousness which is life itself is omnipresent, which means it is ever presence within your own being. This spirit is what is causing your heart to beat right now, it is what is causing your cells to regenerate, it is compelling you to read these words and contemplate there meaning. Connect with this presence by observing your volition to read on.

When you feel the living presence of God within you, as the spirit causing life within you, you feel love, not just the emotion of love but the very essence of love itself. Every emotion of love is like a wave flowing across an ocean of love; the waves come and go but the ocean is always there…you are floating in it. Like a fish living in the sea, your very existence is supported and sustained by this loving presence and the more aware you are of this loving presence, the more you feel it. This Divine presence is always present or you would not be alive, whenever you are not feeling this loving presence it is only because you are either ignoring it or denying it. Your mind or emotions have directed your attention elsewhere.

Anytime that you are feeling anything other than happiness and peace it is only serving as a reminder to get back in touch with your Self, to connect with this Divine Presence, and to engage the love that already lies within you. Your tendency will be to turn away, to try and find it though yet another relationship, material manifestation or circumstance, but those pleasures are fleeting whereas the presence of God is eternal, unconditional, and immediately accessible. From recognizing this presence within you, you then have the capacity to express this love through your relationships, your material life and circumstances. You are not denying the pleasure or demands of the "real world" but rather engaging it from a place of being conscious, from a place of love.

So many people suffer needlessly because they are looking to find happiness and peace outside themselves. People will vehemently argue, justify, rationalize and defend their right or perceived need to feel contractive negative states, and even hearing this could trigger resentment in you because your mind wants to control you. But your spirit is reaching out to you right now through the reading of these words; your spirit is leading you back to God; back home, back to the Kingdom of Heaven that lies within you. Your state of consciousness is a choice. All the love that you are seeking already lies within you, why deny it any longer? Realize this living presence by putting your attention on it. Listen to the call of your own indwelling spirit; find your Self, Realize God. God is love.
