How Do You Love People

Question:

When I was 13, I had this platonic love, but it was not love, it was an infatuation. So that’s not it. I have experienced states of what could have been love, an inner state I cannot describe after repeating the ‘mantra’ I am truly loved, with tears, but I’m not sure if it was really it, or just an ego trip since I was ‘being better’ than the rest of the world just because they were not able to feel that state. Towards my family and ‘beloved’ ones… I appreciate them.

It’s confusing, and maybe it’s my fears trying to get the best out of me, but how do you actually love someone? How do you love yourself? What is love?

My Comments:

How do you Love someone? How do you NOT?

Oh yeah, that whole ego thing…

Lovingness arises when the ego steps aside. Let it go. When you look at someone, don’t judge them, criticize or condemn, label or categorize…

Anything coming from the mind is just a mentalization. Love arises from beyond the mind.

“I Love You.”

More accurately, that statement could be something like “The essence of that which I am acknowledges and appreciates the essence of that which you are.”

or “The God in me recognizes and adores the God in you.” (Namaste)

There is no “I” to love and no “you” to be loved. Those two “beings” only exist within the mind. You and I are one. In reality it’s Love loving Love. It’s not an “I” loving a “You.”

Let the ego go. Open your heart chakra. Love is the Truth of what you are. When the ego stops covering this up, Love arises spontaneously, freely, and automatically.

The question is not how to Love, for Love is your true nature. A better question to ask is how do I stop resisting Love.

Surrender!!! Let go of all resistances to Love and it will be the only thing left.

Thanks for your question.
