The usual idea of love seems to not work. It is conditional, dependent, and seems as an award we must earn. Here I share a different perspective.

Understanding Love: From Perception to Reality
00:00:00
Speaker
Have you ever experienced the breathtaking moment of seeing the clouds from above for the first time? Where what seems like an endless ocean of cotton suddenly becomes an open space where you can see the surface of Earth. This transition from a blanket of clouds to the clarity of the ground beneath us serves as a perfect analogy for understanding love.
00:00:31
Speaker
In life, we often navigate through a cloud of perceptions, beliefs, and experiences. Initially, these clouds obscure our view, limiting our understanding of love to what is immediately visible and felt.
Shifting Perspectives to See Love's True Form
00:00:49
Speaker
But every so often, something miraculous happens, a shift in perspective, a moment of vulnerability, or an encounter with beauty.
00:00:59
Speaker
that clears these clouds, allowing us to see love in its truest form. I've realized that love is more than just a connection with another person. It is recognizing the common ground we share with the world around us and with everybody else. It is in the movies that moves us, the speakers that inspire us,
00:01:22
Speaker
and even the simple beauty of a sunset or a baby's smile, when love transcends, the boundaries between self and other.
00:01:33
Speaker
But what if love is more fundamental to our being than what we've been led to believe?
Embracing Love as Our Core Essence
00:01:40
Speaker
What if instead of seeking love outside ourselves or depending on others for happiness, we recognize that we are at our deepest core, love itself. This perspective shifts the narrative from being in love with somebody to experiencing love with somebody.
00:02:02
Speaker
It's about finding ourselves in others and realizing our inherent oneness. This realization opens up a profound possibility, the ability to experience love not just with a select few, but with everyone and everything around us. It suggests that love isn't about attachment for another person, but about recognizing the love that we fundamentally are.
00:02:31
Speaker
When I listen to amazing music, when I see a beautiful landscape or when I laugh with my friends, I feel something. I feel something very positive. Actually, it feels like love, right? In contrast, when I'm anxious or angry,
00:02:55
Speaker
I cannot feel it. I'm completely in my mind. I'm just looking at the clouds. I cannot see with clarity what is really happening around me. And I cannot see with clarity who I am.
Realizing Love as a Fundamental Self
00:03:14
Speaker
I'm pretty sure that love is not a goal. It's not an achievement. It's not something that happens after I perform some tasks.
00:03:26
Speaker
If love is who we are fundamentally, that changes everything because in order to be happy, we just need to realize who we really are.
Gratitude and Inspirations with Mentors
00:03:40
Speaker
I want to express my gratitude to Rupert Spira for the inspiration and the teachings.
00:03:48
Speaker
And I would like to express my thanks to Sandra and Daurin for the deep conversations we had a few days ago.
