Love and Consciousness
The heart is forever open; it is the center of the human personality. The center of the human personality is divine; it does not need to be opened or closed; it is forever there; it exists because it exists. It is what it is.
What we have to remodel is our mind, our thought processes. Anything modeled can be de-modeled. That is what we do on the path of spiritual growth, the path of Love. The spiritual path is the path of Love; it is no other. That is why the Great Masters of the world taught nothing else but Love. That is what is required.
What is consciousness? What part of your mental anatomy is conscious or can experience consciousness? You could not live in the supraconscious state of mind for more than twenty-one days. Your whole body would disintegrate. If you were to live in the subconscious mind, you would be the most tormented person in the world, for the subconscious mind is only a storehouse of past experiences. It is an archive, a point of reference, in relation to which; that which occurs in the small conscious mind is corroborated.
The experiences of the small conscious mind, including the experiences of so-called love, have to refer themselves back to that which is hidden deep in the subconscious. Only then does the conscious cognition of experience occur.
Now, when we come to love: Does it need a point of reference? No.
In the past, you may have longed for someone or thought you loved someone. When in this life, you are situated in similar circumstances, then you pull in your mind the files of those archived pleasurable experiences and say, “Ah, this is the same thing. Therefore I love this person.” That’s not love.
99.99 percent of the world’s population that says they love is telling lies because it’s not the whole truth, it’s only a partial truth, and a partial truth is a lie. It is not complete: 99 cents will never be a dollar.
The conscious and subconscious mind combined create the feelings and emotions in you. You feel that you love and become emotionally excited inside. As soon as you see the object of your love, your heart beats wildly. However, Love is calm, gentle, and unexcited. You can never be conscious of love, for the very factor of being conscious implies the non-totality of love.
“Walk with me, my love.”
Unity can be found, yes, but…. is unity the totality?
Gururaj Ananda Yogi
In the love relationship between two people, the experience of the quality of Oneness, is for most people only an inkling, a glimpse.
However, such a glimpse can be so revitalizing that it makes the lives of these two people even more compatible, so that a greater mutual understanding appears in their lives.
By not finding fault with each other, friction disappears. When friction disappears, there are no problems left between those who love each other. But this is not yet the whole picture. There is still a long way to go.
Listen to the inner voice of your heart. Listen to the heart of your fellow traveler through life: How can I tell you? How can I explain my love to you? Walk with me, my love, and by walking the road of life with me, perhaps you will understand the meaning of my love for you. If we do not walk together, how can we understand each other?
Love is only a hope initially, but by walking the road together, we will find the culmination of what Love really means. The road may be short or long, but we will find the goal by walking hand in hand.
When you think of a certain object in those loving terms, with deep feeling-with depth of feeling; not superficially, but with real depth-then the object to which this love is shown always responds. This is how natural laws always operate. And this is part of nature and is propelled by natural laws.
