Rereading this blog of mine, it sure is interesting seeing the evolution of my understanding of the world, love, and God. I didn't make too many posts referring to God directly, but there will be more to come. But I have realised plenty of things about love.
Love transcends all. Love is something that you give to someone, whether as a feeling or as an action. Love is about letting go, because whomever you are giving your love to, they can only receive it and appreciate it. But that does not mean they will stay with you, or return your love. That is the danger of love.
But that is also the very essence of love. Its mere existence is the beauty of the entire Universe encompassed in a feeling. People feel love on different levels, but when they truly fall in love, they have the potential to feel love on the same magnitude as God's love. Because God is the Source, God is the All. God is the summation of all things in existence.
Love is at once an energy, and a physical manifestation of that energy. For example, when a man buys flowers for the woman he loves, he does not pick out the flowers without that great feeling inside his heart, and he does not greet the sales clerk without a smile on his face. As the feeling is the energy, the action is the manifestation. "Love has many forms" may be a famous saying, but it is definitely true.
God is love, because the entire Universe and the collective conscious is slowly merging because of love. What I mean by merging is, once someone or something experiences love for someone or something else, that love is the bond between them. It is the most secure bond, and obvious to experienced eyes. Those two people or things, those two consciousnesses, obtain unity through love. So eventually everything obtains unity through love. Conversely, in the absence of love, but especially with the presence of hatred, things become separate. Worlds divide, families fall apart, Life and Death are no longer balanced; because Life, as a product of love, decreases.
Therefore, once there is nothing but love in this Universe, everything will become one with God. Not through conflict, not through segregation or categorisation; but through unity and love. Although, struggle is important and necessary, because without struggling we may never move or determine the direction we need to move in. Through struggle, we may learn what is progress; and by the grace of God may we progress ever upward.
But before we can fix our world, we must first fix ourselves. We cannot be responsible or ready for the entirety of humanity to progress onwards if every individual is not ready. To feel love properly, it is important to forgive people for what they have done to you, and most importantly to forgive yourself. There may be mistakes you will never have the chance to fix, so you must do your utmost to 1) never repeat those mistakes again, 2) to repent and compensate for our mistakes, and 3) to help others see their actions and not make those mistakes as well.
The key is, before we can love others, we must learn to love ourselves.
