Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.

Love is a state of Being

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

There is no love coming tomorrow

It is so natural to focus on what love will give you. But it has nothing to give you. Only everything to take away. As you travel the path of the heart, you can count on the dream of a love coming in the future to be ground away, moment by moment by moment. There is no love coming tomorrow, for love is only now. And you cannot ‘get’ more love, for love is what you are.

At some point along the journey, the reference points fall away, and are replaced with… nothing. Only your open heart, your ripening body, and a burning for resolution remain. But there is no resolution, for love is outrageously creative, and will dissolve all form in order to reveal what you are, and to offer a womb in which new forms may emerge.

While never easy, remember that one of the primary gifts of the beloved is that of reorganization, of seeding deflation in the field of separation. This deflation is not a mistake or an error to be corrected, but is a purifying expression of pure, untamed, uncontrolled blessing. But you cannot expect the mind to understand and to not struggle against the groundlessness. You can just let the mind do what the mind does; no need to enter an imaginary spiritual war with it. Or take any relationship with it, for that matter.

Everything you thought you knew about who you were, where you were headed – the way it was ‘supposed’ to work out – about relationships, ‘healing,’ ‘awakening,’ your ‘life’s purpose’… watch as love comes spinning out of the unseen as a sacred thief, leaving you naked, on the earth and in the gooey mud. You are home. Raw with the realization that nothing was ever missing after all.
