Love Me Like My Life Depended on It
As I was pondering my existence and what I felt called to discuss today, I logged into Medium and saw that someone had recently shared one of my pieces.
I began to read the comedic essay again, pleased to find myself laughing aloud. And even more pleased to see that what I wrote reminded me of my message for you, today.
I Fell In Love This Week
I think I fall in love every week, every day, and with all things beautiful, true, and soulful. And that seems to be a problem on this earth planet thing. People seem to only want you to love them. Yes, they all assert, we are love. We are Christ. We are higher consciousness. We’re to follow in the footsteps of the prophet. The rhetoric, religion, or even the specific jargon used doesn’t much matter; the point remains the same.
We are love.
And yet when asked the question, “Are you capable of loving multiple people the way you love me,” I somehow feel trapped. As if the honest answer is the wrong answer.
I don’t view the world in isolation. I don’t think that our love is limited to one person or thing. I don’t think the sun shines for one plant, person, or mountaintop; it shines for all.
As I see it, where we perch ourselves vibrationally, directly dictates our realities and how we perceive what’s unfolding before us. It tells others who we are and what we’re about before we even utter a word, so these questions of how I might love another, when our very essence and thus our highest expression, is love, are confusing, backward, and unnecessary to me.
Why speak of war in a time of peace?
Why plan for death when we’re in the middle of celebrating life?
Why ask questions that don’t feel good, with the hope of an answer that will make you feel better from the sh*tty state you just put yourself in? Why not just ask questions that feel good all over?
People Look to Spiritual Leaders to Find Unconditional Love and to Emulate It
Some follow rigid religious structures to attain this, others choose the path of “no path”, and others still, dabble with everything in between.
Within this search lay the same treasure: unconditional love. To know what the sun feels like from the mountaintop.
To be loved as we are without the need to do or be anything else.
To be loved for who we are without needing to change to make someone else feel better.
And it’s tricky terrain.
As I sit in front of this man, metaphorically speaking, and he asks me if I’m capable of loving more than one person, the answer is an emphatic yes.
And yet, that yes feels heavy. It’s ridden with misunderstandings, projections, and the weight of their energy dropping as they feel rejected or even played.
How could she love another the way she loves me?
Because we are love.
That’s like asking if I breathe around others, too. Or is it just around you?
Limitations Often Make People Feel Safe
In the absolute sense, we’re not limited in our capacity to love, to express, or to help others. It amazes me to see how quickly, though, one will hand over their freedom for a pair of manacles with the promise of greater freedom.
“Chain me so that I may be free.”
Why?
As vibrational beings, to vibe at a bright level is to inherently feel love for humanity and immense love for self.
It’s to be turned on down to your core.
And when you’re in the presence of others who are also in this place, love as a language and state is more readily understood.
So when I’m asked if I’m able to love more than one person… the answer is of course.
