In this blog, I am going to focus on the Mary and Martha metaphor where Mary represents Reality where Martha the dream of duality. See Mary and Martha - Revisited

Too Hot to Handle?

"Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God." A Course in Miracles

Many people seek love, real love/soul love, but when they get it, they find love too hot to handle.

I have observed that real love is not something you dabble with. Love is like elecricity - if you don't know how to handle it, you are going to get electrocuted.

Love is an all consuming fire that will test you to see whether you are worthy of HER very high standards. Love doesn't do this because SHE likes to trifle with you, it's simply her HER fiery nature to transmute everything in HER presence into Love. If something can't withstand HER heat, it melts away; that which can take HER heat remains forever.

Love tests friendships and relationships. Love's intent is not to break up but to build and harmonise. Love magnetises relationships that resonate with your soul. Current relationships that do not resonate with your soul are either transmuted, repelled or dissolved from your experience.

Love may even seem to put people's livelihoods at stake. I believe if your livelihood is being threatened it wasn't real in the first place. You should thank your lucky stars that Love is showing you what is real.

Let's take one example, medical care. Millions of people work in that environment. What if everyone started trusting in Love to meet their health needs? Then millions of people would be out of a job, which would force them to re-evaluate what real work is. Since this issue is too hot to handle, most people would rather just fall right back into deep slumber so they can dream and perpetuate the system. However, sooner or later they will wake up; no one can stay asleep forever.

In my personal experience, I had to address what I really wanted in my life was in perfect harmony with my soul. I have always wanted to be a writer because I genuinely believed it was my heart's desire but I was only interested in writing from experience. Love inspired me to share my experiences of Love in my every day life in writing. Perfect match.

Another way Love tested me was to see whether I did trust in Love to meet my needs or whether I was just blowing hot air. The first time I trusted in Love for healing, it did happen, but it took me 3 days to surrender to Love.

On my blogs, I have recorded numerous demonstrations of Love in action in my life experiences.

Be careful what you wish for. If you don't want your life turned upside down and inside out, don't go seeking real love because once you've got HER attention, there's no going back. Expect Love to unleash HER fire - melting and transmuting that which isn't real; and revealing your true self.

Remember real love never threatens what is real.

Can Love Save?

For thousands of years, philosophers and poets have been waxing lyrical about the wonder and power of love. If love is so powerful and all we need, why is it that love doesn't always meet the need?

How come people who are in love can't save each other from pain and suffering? Why don't people's love save people from tragedies and disasters? You only have to watch the news or read the newspapers to see that when the going gets tough, love is not saving people.

What about parental love, which is meant to be unconditional? Some parents even make "sacrifices" for their kids. I know my mother loves me and when I was a child, she would have done anything to protect me. Yet her love could not protect me from sickness, nor could it prevent me from being in a car accident. (Fortunately, there was another Force at work which saved me from serious harm).

My point is if love is so powerful and what makes the world go round, then based on recent natural disasters, love either has little or no power or is fast asleep.

There are those who might argue that the reason why love doesn't always save people is because of the individual's karma; or the person planned to experience tragedy in order that they could grow and learn valuable lessons. I don't buy into those excuses at all.

I believe love is the only power, however, how people experience that power depends on people's realisation of love. Let's say there are 4 perspectives of experiencing love. I'm going to borrow the glass analogy i.e.

Category A - those who always see the glass as half-empty.
Category B - those who always see the glass as half-full.
Category C - those who always see the glass as full and overflowing.
Category D - those who know there is no glass, just the One being everything including the glass.

Category A see love as very limited which has to be earned. Because there is so little love, they will do all they can to protect the little love that they have and even sacrifice for their loved ones. They are also constantly living in fear that what they have will be taken away from them. When the worse does happen, it confirms what they believe to be true that love is very limited and needs to be protected or defended at all cost.

While Category B still see love as limited, they tend to focus more on how love is being expressed in their lives, which makes them very grateful for the love they have. Because they focus on what they have, their love is magnified and they experience a lot more.

Category C know love is not something that you earn or have to do something to get; they know Love is everywhere. You don't have to sacrifice anything as there is enough love to go round and for all to share. It's a matter of becoming aware; and your awareness activates that love.

Category D have realised that because there is only One expressing in infinite forms, the One is expressing infinite love as them. In other words, they know themselves as the source of love, which means they are endlessly pouring out love wherever they are.

(Please note that the categories are simply models I'm using to make my point; it doesn't mean that one category is better than another. I'm reminded of the old adage: one man's meat is another's poison. In other words, while someone might hate snow, a photographer or an artist could produce works of art from that snow. So it's not about right or wrong but about individual preference).

Because like attracts like, like-categories will tend to attract like-categories. Thus, someone in Category A, for instance, is likely to attract Category A's as friends and associates. The likelihood of someone in Category A attracting someone in Category D is so slim, it would take a miracle; but it is not impossible as all things are possible with Love.

Let's say for argument's sake someone in Category A wishes to experience life from Category C or D?

I believe the Universe will respond by sending someone to experience life with who will "raise" you to your preferred category. You will then find your ideas and circumstances transforming accordingly. Life may even seem magical at times. However, be sure that it is what you truly want and are ready for it, or the sudden shifts in perspectives might be so drastic that you might be tempted to revert to your comfort zone where you feel safe, albeit miserable. Then again, there have been some great songs inspired by human misery.

Another way one can experience a category shift is by being in the presence of someone in your preferred category. Now it makes sense why many people travel thousands of miles to see gurus in India because they know that being in the presence of someone who is constantly pouring out joy, love, peace and wisdom is not only uplifting but transformational.

Still another way to experience a category shift is to be devoted to someone, past or present, who is in your preferred category. You could choose to follow the teachings of your preferred guru, master or teacher; and by studying their ideas, they help to "uplift" you.

I believe if you are really serious about switching categories permanently, you need to commit to walking the path, which a lot of people are not willing to do.

Back to my earlier question about why some people's love seem to have little or no power to save. If someone's default mode is "glass is half-empty", they find it difficult to give love anyway as they're always thinking they haven't got enough; or living in fear of not having enough. How can your love be any good to your loved ones if you're always expecting the worse? It's rather like the conflicting views nutritional experts have about foods. One expert might say such and such is good for you; while another expert tells you that same food is bad for you. Something can't be both good and bad. The moment there is conflict, the thing loses its power.

I believe if you want your love to have power to save, then love with all your being; love without fear. In other words, you could choose to experience life from Category C or D.

If by Grace, I manage to attract someone in Category C or D, who not only takes a personal interest in me but wants to be my friend, I would be a fool to let him go.

Let's Get Real!

That which changes is unreal and temporal; and that which doesn't change is real and eternal.

In that case, how come things that are supposed to be unreal seem so real that you can feel, see, smell, taste and even touch them? I believe though they seem real enough, they are still figments of the imagination.

Take sickness as an example, which seem so real that hospitals are filled with patients; and there are health practitioners galore trying to make people well. One sure sign that sickness is not real is the sick get better. Even those who appear to "die" soon realise that they are still "alive" and no longer ill. If the disease was real then people would be sick forever and ever and ever.

If anger was real, then when I have felt angry, I would have been angry forever and ever and ever, but that hasn't been the case.

If depression was real, then when I have felt depressed, I would have been depressed forever and ever and ever, but that hasn't been the case.

If loneliness was real, then when I have felt lonely, I would have felt that way forever and ever and ever, but that hasn't been the case.

Etc, etc.

Hang on, since most people don't feel happiness all the time, does this mean happiness is unreal? Human happiness is unreal because of the belief a lot of us have been programmed with that happiness has to be earned or you have to do something to be happy. Real happiness is causeless, meaning that it always exist and will always exist.

I believe the easiest way to nip that which is unreal in the bud is to see it as just a passing phase, just like the clouds. The sky is always underneath looking as radiant as ever.

And as you see through the unreal, they cease to have any power in your experience.

Only that which doesn't change is real; the rest is just a figment of the imagination.

Help Me Now!

I believe the most important word in any language is "help."

I have observed that although people are willing to help, most people won't offer help unless they're asked, as they don't want to impose.

The wonderful thing, I find, about asking for help is it's rather like dialing 999 for the ambulance, police or fire brigade. You're given top priority.

So last night, even though I went to bed early, I was tossing and turning and twitching all over. At first, I tried meditating and using affirmations to help me relax but they didn't work. Then I got desperate and thought: "Help!" In no time at all, I was having sweet dreams.

Don't ask me how it happened! Don't know, don't care!

I reckon there are all these angels on standby urging humans to ask for help but we're too busy trying to be independent until we get desperate and have to holler: "Help me!"

Why wait for an emergency situation to ask for help? I can ask for help all the time. Someone has to put those bone-idle angels to work.

Help me now!
