THE DIMENSIONS OF LOVE What is love .and what is it not? Why is love the most misused word on this planet? Why do our love relationships break, and hurt us deeply? Is Love meant to hurt?
This is the Grace Filled Path where by following divine laws, so simple a child could understand them, and by praying in deep desire to receive God’s Love, one can reach Union or At-one-ment with God. This involves deep humility and a steadfast anchoring into the centre of your own soul, along the way feeling all the emotions you have never dared to feel.
God has given us all a very simple way we can connect to Him/Her: The Power of Prayer. Coming from deep within our own hearts desires directly to God, it needs no intermediary and is free for all.
‘If you find anything good in this book which helps you to learn to know God better, you can be quite sure that it is His Majesty Who has said it, and if you find anything bad, then it has been said by me.’ St Theresa of Avila
THE THREE FORMS OF LOVE
DIVINE LOVE
Divine Love is the most powerful, transformative and alchemical force in the universe. God is waiting and desiring to give this Greatest of All Loves to us through our desire and sincere yearning for It. This desire is us asking from the depths of our heart, sincerely, passionately and whole-heartedly, for Divine Love, humbly bowing to God to receive It. This desire is a straight line, an arrow pointing straight and true towards its target, praying as though you were ‘interrogating your own soul about its deepest, most hidden longings.’
True desire is as if you were driving a tent stake home, or striking a clear musical note, heard for the first time. A Lover of God is a soul of fire. Pure, deep yearning desire for God is like a flame that attracts the moths of benevolent spirit guides and Divine Love spirits. Pure desire is a beacon shining in the darkness that God and His helpers cannot ignore. Inexorably drawn to this flame like a magnet by their innate purpose and the very nature and substance of their souls, they cannot help but come to, serve and answer such a souls desire if it is alignment with Truth and Love.
Pure desire is a shining lantern, a beacon, a lighthouse in the darkness, a search light of aspiration and yearning for Love and Truth that helps you both in seeing divine truths and your own personal truths that shield one from following Divine Truth. It is this that sorts out the wheat from the chaff, separates out truth from untruth once used in Loves calling.
The Laws surrounding Divine Love are the most powerful Laws in existence, and the fastest way to learn Divine Laws is to connect to God via His Love, for we understand Laws of Divine Love in our heart.
