Essence Of Spirituality Information: Love Is Within You By Richard Blackstone At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

We can tap into this beautiful thing called love whenever we wish. All we need do is go inside. It is within us all. Remember this saying, “If I don't go within, I go without,” then add, “If I don't go within, the world goes without.”

We don't have to look outside of ourselves in order to find love. In fact, the true awesomeness of love is our ability to give it away. When we give our love away we get love in return. What you give to another, you give to yourself. What you give to yourself, you give to another. These simple concepts are the core of unity consciousness and the paradigm of oneness.

We, as humans, possess love because, just like God, love is at our core. Love is the glue that holds the universe together. At birth we are nothing but love in our mind, body and spirit being. As we progress through the stages of life, some of us learn to suppress the abundance of love that we possess, but love never leaves us. We can tuck it into the deepest, darkest corner of our heart, but it is always there. We can call upon it at any time, but you must go within to tap into it.

So many of us, as we go through life's experiences, seek to find love outside of ourselves. We think that by possessing the love of another we can find a way to love ourselves. When we are around the person that we love, we feel fulfilled and enjoy the euphoria that comes with the human experience of falling in love.

It is in this initial euphoria where we experience a sharing and a giving on both sides of the romantic adventure. Each partner seems willing to do all they can to continue to produce this exciting feeling we get when we are around and relating to our love interest.

This mutual sharing and giving can go on for a long period of time but sooner or later the routine of daily life creeps into the relationship. We begin to quantify the source of the loving feeling and whether or not we can sustain it.

If we look to the other as the source of the energy that sustains us, it is only a matter of time before disappointment sets in. We do not control the thoughts, words and deeds, or the creations of the other. We may wish with all our heart for our significant other to act toward us in a particular way so that we may feel their love in a manner that is acceptable to us. In other words, according to our expectations.

However, we have no control over the experiences and situations that constitute our significant other's life, and they have free will to act out their life as they choose. If that is different from our expectations then the human ego part of us may feel hurt and wonder why they are not acting in accordance with our highest expectations.

You can explain your feelings to the other, but once again, you still don't have any control over how they choose to accept your explanation and, ultimately, whether they will change their actions to suit you or continue to make life choices that are more reflective of them.

The alternative to looking to someone else for love is to be love yourself. Look inside yourself and decide how you wish to give your love to the other. Of this ability you have total control and total choice. You are not dependent on the other person and then reacting to them. You are able to go within and then share with the other what you give freely. True unconditional love gives all and requires nothing.
