The love and intimacy you seek is who you are.
Love is a word that has permeated literature and daily life for centuries or more and is spoken in various situations and contexts. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, love can be either a verb or a noun and is used more than 1,000 times out of every 1 million words spoken (that’s a lot). However, when you look for the dictionary definition of love, the replies classify it as an emotion or offer a list of behavioral characteristics that result from the feeling of love. None of these replies define what love is.
As humans, we are all capable of feeling love but not constantly or even consistently. The feeling of love is a fleeting feeling that mysteriously arrives according to the stimulus that we are experiencing at the moment. The person we are with, the situation we are in, the activity in which we are participating, or the “thing” that we are sensing (observing, touching, hearing, etc.) provides us with the opportunity to feel love to varying degrees.
It’s common to believe that we are receiving some mysterious energy or magic that causes us to feel love and believe that we are receiving or giving love requires love to be a commodity that can be exchanged or potentially withheld. The purpose of this writing is to aid your understanding of what love is and why people feel the way they do when presented with the stimulus that allows the feeling of love. It has nothing to do with giving or receiving anything other than receiving permission to feel love. Let me explain.
All of creation is consciousness and humanity participates in creation, therefore, humanity is consciousness. Creation/consciousness has a defined hierarchical structure which is perceived as an infinite number of layers distinguished by vibration. The numerically infinite number of layers is grouped into eight major layers called densities. Each density becomes a distinguishable experience of creation with a beginning and ending vibration separated by the distinct placement of consciousness according to its vibration. A density includes all the vibrating stratifications that fall within the top and bottom of the density range. If you imagine that a density is a mile, each sub-layer would be an inch.
The densities in totality are a spectrum of vibrating consciousness and every individual density, other than the 8th density, is likewise a spectrum of the range of consciousness within the density. The lower three densities require grace or satisfactory learning of a prescribed curriculum to advance to the next higher density but upper densities are more self-determinant in their advancement. The self-determination of the higher densities manifests into behavioral characteristics that become the advancement qualifications in and of themselves.
Consciousness is scaled according to its vibration. The highest range of the densities vibrates significantly faster than the lowest range but there is a progression, an innate pull from the lower levels to move upwards through the layers above it. Each descending layer of consciousness vibrates slower than the layer immediately above it. Each descending density is a fractal of the one above.
Every descending layer of consciousness, whether a density or a sub-layer called a dimension, has slightly less self-awareness of its qualities as the One Infinite Creator than the layer above, which means it has slightly less capacity to perceive the wholeness of creation and less capacity to know itself in relation to it. The process of enlightenment is synonymous with consciousness’ evolution which ultimately concludes with the surrendering of all distortions, including the freewill perception of separation. Upon completion of the enlightenment process, consciousness will understand infinity which is the One Infinite Creator because it will once again know itself, without distortion, as the Creator. The conclusion of creation is described as returning home, to the place from which we began but seeing it as if for the first time.
What does any of this have to do with love? One of the products of creating the densities in this way allowed for consciousness in the 7th density to be segregated according to five inherent characteristics of the One Infinite Creator. Until this occurred, the One Infinite Creator knew that these characteristics were inherent to its “wholeness” but the delineation allowed consciousness to explore each of these through the predominant lens of a bias. The five characteristics are awareness, love, wisdom, unity, and stillness. Consciousness within the 7th density and in all of the densities below the 7th became biased according to one of these five characteristics. In actuality, all consciousness continued to be all five characteristics but one characteristic became their predominant bias through which they interpreted their experiences as swayed by the bias.
Self-exploration and discovery by conscious, according to the delineated inherent characteristics became hierarchical through creation only because it’s necessary to build the foundation before you build the walls and to build the walls before you build the roof, etc. The lowest two densities were too low to be assigned an inherent characteristic to explore but they are very valuable contributors to the creation-enlightenment process because they are the foundational densities that provide for all planets throughout creation. 1st density begins with fire/heat and ranges upward to water, and atmosphere, and concludes with matter. 2nd density is comprised of plants and animals which uniquely enhance a 1st density planet’s base.
Humans occupy 3rd density and are the first range of consciousness with sufficient capacity to explore any of the inherent characteristics. Following their hierarchical nature, humanity is tasked with the exploration of awareness but, in a designed attempt to accelerate our progression, we begin 3rd Density in a condition described as Primordial Darkness. This only means that we are a clean canvas from which we can paint anything on the canvas that we desire but it does create a condition of chaos from which we must find order.
Love is the inherent characteristic associated with the 4th density, the range of consciousness we will be advancing to after we learn the curriculum of 3rd density. The 3rd density curriculum includes employing awareness to personally assume responsibility for our enlightenment, awakening, becoming aware, and, eventually, becoming awareness. Another strategic curriculum requirement of 3rd density is to choose between whether we are going to align ourselves with the One Infinite Creator by surrendering our perception of separation or enhancing our perception of separation which requires us to decide not to learn the positive lessons of love in the 4th density. For those choosing the service-to-self path of separation, love is considered folly and they choose to explore the inverse of love, which isn’t hate but rather fear.
We do get a taste of love’s positive and negative aspects in 3rd density but it’s not because someone has given us love. Every time we have felt love in our lives, it is because the person(s), place, or thing we are currently experiencing causes us to be so comfortable in their presence that we are willing to temporarily surrender our false identity or hierophant that we created to trick the world into giving us more of what we like. When this has occurred, it allowed us to feel our authentic self, which of course is comprised of the inherent characteristics of the One Infinite Creator.
Love is our natural state of being which is also comprised of awareness, wisdom, unity, and stillness. Invariably, feeling the inherent characteristics that comprise our creator-ness feels better than anything else in creation, which motivates us to get more of that since we are motivated to get more of what we like. What we feel in 3rd density that we interpret as love is only a peek-behind-the-curtain of what love will feel like to a 4th density mind/body/spirit. The learning guides available to us in 3rd density to propel us forward along the enlightenment path, in addition to awareness, are sympathy and compassion but we must learn these by learning awareness before we can use them. Empathy is the tool we will gain in 4th density to aid our exploration of love but in 3rd density, we may only feel a harmonic resonance with others that we often interpret as empathy.
Love is our destiny, even for those people declaring love to be folly and follow the service-to-self path. Eventually, every person will conclude their evolutionary journey at the same place, the place from which they began, but how quickly and how pleasant the journey is, is up to you and your choices along the way.
Choose love and be the change you want to see in the world. It feels much better than the alternative.
