"Notice human existence is like a solar eclipse of the heart. At different stages, you play hide and seek with your true self, hide from, deny, forget your own full light. Your own inner music is like the ring of fire, like the hidden galaxies you convince yourself are far away. This is the illusion of linear time. The root of who you are is the harmonic connection to everything. It is experienced or filtered based on your level of consciousness. Your life is encoded and you are in the midst of bringing what matters most to light. Every stage is what you make of it." - Liara Covert

Love is not a feeling.
If love were a feeling,
it would come and go,
like in a great drama.
Love is not a thought.
If love were a thought,
it would have an opposite.
Love is too huge
to be contained in thought.
Love is not a belief.
If love were a belief,
you would doubt it.
And who would believe that?
Love is not a state.
If love were a state,
you could enter or leave it.
Or fall out of it.
Love is not an experience.
If love were an experience,
it would begin and end,
and you would long for its return.
Love is not something you find.
If love were something you found,
you could lose it too,
so you'd have to cling to it for dear life.
Love is simpler, kinder, closer, less dramatic.
Less urgent, more present.
Love is the space in which everything appears.
Every thought, every sensation,
every feeling, pleasurable and painful,
blissful, boring, erotic, gentle and intense,
all are held in love's vast embrace.
Yes, YOU are the space for it all,
spaciously intimate with every breath,
in love with every beat of the heart,
every sound, every smell,
every sensation in the body,
every moment of life.
Feeling like you're in love
or not feeling like you're in love,
either way, you are in love
with the bliss and the boredom of existence,
with the certainty and the doubt of it,
with the pleasure and the pain,
with the success and the failure,
with the seeking and the resting,
with every sacred movement
of this astonishing dream-world.
All that can be held, can be lost.
All that you can gain, can be taken away.
All that you can build up, can turn to dust overnight.
All that can be created, can also be destroyed.
Only love remains. Only love.
Not a feeling, not a thought, not a belief,
not a state, not an experience,
not something that you 'have',
not something that you're 'in' or 'out' of,
not something that you 'get' from others
(despite the romantic myths we are sold),
but the endless embrace of all of this.
Love is you. You, before you were named,
before you were even born.
You. You are the One.
The One you have always sought.
The unsilenceable call of the heart.
The cry from deep within.
The fragile silence in the middle of the night.
You will never abandon yourself again.
- Jeff Foster

"The real growth is when you step away from a relationship that just might be another egoic attachment where we find ourselves afraid to let go of a person we're in a relationship with, because what we're really afraid to let go of is the level of consciousness we were at when we met that person. Relationships help us grow, but sometimes the highest growth in relationships occur when you allow yourself to walk away. And whether you're afraid to do that, whether you feel guilty because you think that you're creating pain in someone else's journey... all of those feelings that arise don't distract us from making the courageous choices we need to make. Instead they become the ones that we love more not less, while we make the courageous choices that advance our journey forward." - Matt Kahn

"Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before.
Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening.
Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, a new level is about to be revealed." - Alice Walker

Nobody can fall so low unless he has a great depth. If such a thing can happen to a man, it challenges his best and highest on the other side; that is to say, this depth corresponds to a potential height, and the blackest darkness to a hidden light.
— C. G. Jung

You are that magical, powerful beyond measure. Journeying thru chaos yet remaining that rippling radiant heart center.

Addiction is dissatisfaction.
You are so unhappy with your normal state of being that you're constantly seeking for something 'greater'.
This is a fools game. Grass is greener on steroids.
Your corrupted reward system tricks you into being in a perpetual state of want.
It's a decay cycle.
Your life appears mundane so you lean on something that offers cheap, accessible pleasure.
This deludes you for a brief moment & distorts your perception.
You think life is better now because of the dopamine rush.
Over time, you use that to cope with all things discomfort. Thoughts, situations, emotions. Any negative state makes you want to escape.
This is where the decay cycle begins.
Your body deteriorates because of the addiction, your brain deteriorates because of the addiction, your life deteriorates because of the addiction..
& all this time it tricks your brain into changing your perception on reality. You think everything is all plush and content.
Any time you are offered a brief moment of clarity and get a peak beyond the veil.. the minute you start to realize your life is going to shit, it creates more stress, negative emotions in you. You run back to get more pleasure and willingly coat your eyes with a thick paint of bullshit and ignorance
This cycle repeats itself over and over until there's nothing left to decay.
Breaking this illusion of pleasure is paramount to you breaking the cycle.
You must recognize reality for what it is.

Where does a loved one ‘go’ when they die?
Where does a wave ‘go’ when it crashes onto the shore?
Nowhere. No place.
The wave was never separate from the vastness of the ocean in the first place, so it cannot ‘return’ there. Water cannot leave water, nor return.
Nothing happens at all, from the perspective of our true nature.
Death is simply the deepest relaxation into unborn, undying presence.
Your loved one did not ‘go’ anywhere, friend. They simply rested even more deeply in their own nature, which is your nature, which is presence. Not two. Never two.
They are now where they always were – in your heart of hearts. And they can never leave.
You will carry them.
Love is stronger than death.

“Remember, it is much, much easier to see a candle flame when it’s surrounded by darkness. So the darkness serves you to see the light, even as the light creates shadows and puts you in touch with the idea of the darkness."
"Without darkness you wouldn’t know the light, so the darkness gives you the opportunity to actually see what you prefer. You have to validate it as having a reason for existing and not judge it to have no place in reality. You contain dark and light, you contain positive and negative, you contain polarity, you always will." ~Bashar ☯️

"Notice what happens as you love everything that arises. Feel the continuity of the wave, the flow of the cosmic ocean inside. Then watch the imagined veil between inner and outer disappear. It does not matter from which angle you view love. You can even be upside down. Love only ever sees itself. Be the Spirit that awakens to realize loving oneself is impossible without loving everything perceived as other. There is no inside or outside, no you and they, only oneness." - Liara Covert

Being okay if it happens and okay if it doesn’t is a very powerful place to be.

Notice none of us is a stranger to the darkness, to challenges or adversity. We exist to make the unconscious, conscious, to face our version of dark, to bring it to light and see things as they are. This is the cultural metaphor of the Hero's Journey, quest for the Holy Grail, the blossoming of the thousand-petalled lotus.
Admittedly, experience is not always wonderful. We might find ourselves engaged in conflict, feeling rejected, abandonned, humilated, betrayed, experiencing injustice or other suffering. Yet, we thrive in unlikely conditions. We are like the phoenix, rising from the ashes as we grow conscious of wisdom of true nature.
Everyone of us is special. None of us is like anyone else. Solving our own mysteries, unveiling, materializing our gifts, translating those into service, is the point of this human experience. We move through layers of energy fields at our own pace, detect and perceive is based on expanding levels of consciousness.
