A mindful study of love

JeroenJeroen Not all those who wander are lostNetherlands Veteran

I wanted to say a few things about love…

First of all, there was the golden being of lovingness and grace that I encountered in a vision. I fell in love when I saw it, it was so beautiful, I was overwhelmed. It was like a primary experience, I felt my heart opening and there was this “aaaahh”, a surrender. It was like a moment of multiple perceptions, there was a small female face framed with golden hair, and at the same time there was a large being of flowing golden lines, and in between there was this experience of incredible lovingness, a divine grace. The words don’t do the experience justice, it was short, just a few seconds, and almost indescribably beautiful.

Second, there is the coffee I make for my mother every day around noon. I often find her asleep in her chair, and wake her up to drink coffee and have a biscuit. I know it pleases her, and it makes me happy to have made her happy. That too is love. It’s like when I told my father that my mother enjoys it so much when visitors bring her flowers. Whenever he came to visit us after that, my father would stop off at the supermarket and buy her a couple of bunches of flowers. He enjoyed making her happy. Giving is a powerful way of expressing love.

I found this article, it’s worth a read:

    Third, there were the talks I used to have every day with my dad. Sometimes they were about areas where I felt I could use his support, but often we also talked about his interests, like Graham Hancock and the Boston Celtics, a basketball team. That exchange of interests, of him allowing in his life the things that happened to me like my adventures in mental health, and of me picking up things that were interesting to him, is also an expression of love.

    musing on love

    shakimooni points the way...the way is not in the sky, the way is in the heart.
    the heart of the matter conditions our bodhi. the heart that reason can speak louder than words. when our bodhi is strong, our mind resolve to live with loving kind deeds. the bodhi is the enlighten heart. with heart we be loved and give love.

    tommorrow about maitreya skillful means through the ddd triple jewel of my practice,diety dao, dharma. how love for God and humans is the fullfilment of the law of love.

    my heart practice

    diety praxtice. in scripture, be still and know..gnosis. god is love. the two is made one.
    lotus cross is a way. know the kingdom/queendom of god. so the technique for christian and buddhist is sit and still the bodhi. less thinking and feeeeeel the spirit of the letter.

    love god and love others as god loves you. this is my diety practice. just love. thru tantra i am me and you is me. my diety is sam nou. this is borrowed by tantric hinduism/buddhism. you e state your self to be the diety of surrender and devotion. you enter space/ empatise with diety/ commune and heart to heart you become each others myme nature. in buddhism we only devote to enlighten beings such as goddess quan yin or godess tara. supposedly you can worship zeus. but becareful your nature might be like his unenlightnen state like jealousy.

    let love in

    you let the diety in your sam state interface. it is developing stillness, restfull meditative state you reach emptiness. and in emptiness you meditate the nature of your diety devotion and in time a sense of familarity grows a bond if you will. with love and faith we talk in sunyata. the goal of tantra is be the sam state into same state of diety. she, becomes your teacher.

    my diety worship is supplimented with the law of love with dao and zen.
