Look at you - here you are, practicing on living in the now moment, living with everything in your life including yourselves while implementing norms of truth, patience, determination, strong will, and fierce belief.
“And now what?” your mind would ask,
“Where is TrueLove and why hasn’t it showed in my life yet?”
The aspect that doubtfully calls forth those questions is your intellect which so far has been trained to control the affairs and to linearly analyze the reality, a series of following events. However, when you quiet the infinite mind chatter you allow an opposite reassuring feeling to surface, so you then can feel closer than ever to your True-Love. When you turn your gaze and try to reach it with your hand, though, it vanishes.
Such a description of your condition is genuine. Your sheer existence outside any dualistic system and within the atmosphere of the kingdom of love encompasses you with a thick soup made up by the energies of your I AMness. There are few simple means that would speed up the physical manifestation of your ONE and would crystallize their fogy existence into flesh and blood. Those means closely relate to your daily activities and before I delve into them I wish to expound on the nature of the path that you take right now.
Where are we now
As remembered, after you opened the gate using the four keys you paced right into the kingdom surrounded by the misty curtain. Slowly and in time, while practicing the three principles described in the last previous posts, the mist begins to fade and a long wide road which sprawl until the horizon reveals itself to your amazed eyes. This metaphoric road symbolizes the fact that although there is a road in front of you, and that your immediate impulse would be to begin walking it one step at a time like you used to do in the dualistic reality, in truth you are requested to stand still in place.
Do not move in any specific direction and just wait. Soon enough you would be surprised to realize that while you stay put the scenery around is what changes.
Try to imagine this feeling – everything around you, the mountains, the roads, the views, the people and the cars are moving and passing by your eyes while you stand still on the same piece of ground.
The explanation is fascinating: the kingdom of love automatically recognizes who you are, your energetic unique pattern, your status in life and to what extent you are ready. Accordingly, it summons the needed and most appropriate events for you. While the strong impulse would be to fast run on the road towards the beautiful views, the moment you give in to that impetus you jumped back to the world of duality. If such retreat happens you will not realize it at first and rather intensify your efforts to reach that tempting view you had seen on the horizon. Nevertheless, once you reach that spot you will only suffer pain and grave disappointment which will, sure enough, awaken you to infer that you are back in the duality world.
For example, although you may sort out the new mentality and wait for your One to come to you, the temptation to act might become too strong. Then, You would see an ad in the newspaper telling about a new dating service which welcomes people to try it for free and effortlessly. Although you already have tried that mean and got frustrated, you think that perhaps it might be different given the fact that the ad came to you and you don’t need to invest any money or effort. However, this is an illusion because the active search that you do and the process of screening out potential spouses would pull you out from the kingdom back to the world of duality. Would you listen to the little voice that says:”this is not the way!”? Would you release any need for active search and allow your True-Love to come to you?!
You are requested to remain on the road, to do nothing and to allow the events to come to you. The meaning is very literal, do not unnecessarily complex the situation. Depends on your level and pace of development and on your success in assimilating the appropriate guidelines for the new living, the first relationship that will come to you may or may not be your TrueLove. It is not a question of good or bad or of reward or punishment; your TrueLove doesn’t judge your deeds. Only physical, yet very intelligent, rules are involved that govern the new territory of the Kingdom. When you go to a Chinese restaurant you expect to find Chinese food, don’t you? If you ordered falafel you would receive nothing and the waiter would explain that you were mistaken in choosing the wrong restaurant. The same applies to the kingdom of love. Unless you fulfill its rules you would not get what you want - Realization. Alternatively, you would experience various incidents that would convey the message that you need to change your way of behavior to match the place you are in now. The more you do that, the more you become skillful, the faster people understand you and the relationships that you would attract would increasingly resemble your True-Love. Just as there is no point in getting up from your seat, entering the kitchen and demanding your falafel and then feeling hurt that no one understands you, so it is equally pathetic to chase people and demand them to be your TrueLove only because it seems to you that they fit. Regrettably, however, this is exactly what many people do while living in the world of duality!
Remain peaceful within yourself and use the inner tranquility that you have developed to let your mind know that your TrueLove will arrive. The experiences you should go through and the relationships that will take you forward will come to you in time, by themselves, effortlessly. Then and only then warmly embrace them and act according to the new loving norms that you have acquired.
Another example of a temptation that might cause you to be hasty and to run on the road rather than to wait for your TrueLove, is when you are participating in a family gathering and a grown-up friend of your father whom you know and honor approaches you and asks that you date his daughter who, according to him, could be the best match for you. Your mind encourages you to meet the girl; it says that this is a golden opportunity that effortlessly came to your doorstep. On the other hand, you have a strong hunch that “it’s not it”, that the daughter would not be your TrueLove. Although you have learned by now to trust your gut-feelings and so you are inclined to reject the generous offer, you still afraid to hurt the man’s feelings or harm his friendship with your dad. So, you take the girl’s phone number, you call her and set a date. Alas, unfortunately, you would be disappointed again since you didn’t trust your impulses and put yourself back, once more, in the world of duality.
It is vital to remember that once True-Love knocks on your door or when an appropriate relationship requires your attention you would not have any doubts regarding the appropriateness of the events which would be synchronized to almost force you to make the right decision. Therefore, when you do have a doubt trust it and give up on the potential date/relationship. Do not fear that you might lose the opportunity for if it is a real one it will appear again and again and again and ask for your attention. If you shut the door in the face of an appropriate opportunity, life would magically bring it back to you through the window. But you have to trust your own feelings! Your mind would tell you that living like that is impossible and you would end up remaining single for the rest of your lives. Do not listen to it and rather strengthen your belief in yourself and your trust in the way you are walking. Eventually, your dream will come true.
Indeed, life within the kingdom of love does not require physical efforts at all but it definitely postulates fate, trust, courage, and implementation of solid self-discipline; all of the characters which have brought you to this moment in time and space.
In the next post, I will describe the means that would greatly assist you to quickly and efficiently attract the best events for the sake of your personal growth. Ultimately, those means will bring you True-Love as well.
