These days I've been temporarily entering states of love/beauty that I can only describe as a complete "meltingness" of everything, where you surrender everything to the moment and to God, and even your self-consciousness dissolves into that Love.
I think it helps to consciously remember what it was like, and you can kind of trigger yourself into entering it again 
It also helps to remember that this Love is an impersonal quality, and shouldn't be projected onto people/objects. I found myself incredibly attracted to this one girl who is 7 years older than me, and then it finally hit me that I was attracted to the Love she was emanating and not necessarily her physicality (although she is pretty too , there are far more prettier girls). Self-calibrated her at 525, which confirms it.
Also helps to be on guard and not drop into naivete, which is the major downside of Unconditional Love. It's not Loving, to others and to yourself, to allow that which is non-integrous free rein in your life. You can love and forgive people who swindle and cheat you, but that's confusing love with passivity and allowing integrity to be corrupted. |
Nice to hear you're feeling that ethereal
& actually big huge thanks for your reminder to be aware to not be naive.
I know that's been my old habit but I am growing wiser I think now (affirmation for me inserted..heh..) & actually thanks for letting me know to not project it onto people or objects. I find myself catching my mind trying to assign the "love" or "joy" I may be feeling temporarily onto things...hmm..it brings up & confirms what I was thinking about the other day about love not being a commodity.
I definitely tend to be passive sometimes & it's always been a problem on/off for me through the years. I know many books & 12 step groups emphasize it isn't my job to do what I do sometimes but.. I forget heh. & heh.. Hawkins just warned about it in the "Transcending Levels" book & I was going "doh!" because I knew I'd done that so often. So thanks ethereal for your insights. Really helpful for me at this time.
