Rise in Love

God said:

Open the dial of your heart all the way. Your heart does not have to discriminate. Your heart is simply to love, to love here, there, everywhere. Allow your heart to love.

There is something you have to understand. Love is not the personal expectation you have. To love is not a commitment. It is not an investment. It does not cost. Love loves without attachment, and so you allow your heart to love. It costs you nothing. You are not a bookkeeper of love. You are not an accountant. You are a dispenser of love, and there is no cost to it. No expenditure of anything but love. Let your love alight. If you are love, and I say you are, then why not be it?

Love hurts only when you make demands of those upon whom your love falls. Fall in love? The expression would better be to rise in love.

Rise in love, and then you acknowledge that you are as much a Great One as the Great Ones. You may not be famous. Fame does not make a Great One. Love makes a Great One. Be a Great One who is not famous. Be an anonymous Giver of Love. Love is felt from afar. I am the One Source of Love. No one need know your name. It is love that has to be given, and love that has to be known. The name of the Lover is love.

To enjoy the sunshine, you do not have to track it. To enjoy the sky and the green that grows on Earth, what has to be known? All anyone has to know is that there is a Giver and a Gift. The Giver and the Gift are all wrapped into One.

Open your heart. Simply love. Be the sun who radiates its light for all. The sun does not pick and choose. The sun does not think or say: “I must use caution. I must choose upon whom my light will fall. I must be very fussy about this.” Of course the sun does not think that. It is more like that the sun thinks: “How far will my light reach today? Upon how many will I cast my light? The world revolves around me so that my light can reach all corners of the Earth. Of course, the Earth does not really have corners.”

And so your love exposes itself to all in its radius and to all beyond its radiance. Light and love reflect themselves. Light and love simply allow themselves to be known. Love goes beyond the senses. The senses give you a dot of love. Love is greater than a dot. Love is Wholeness, and Wholeness loves to be known for the love that it is. And you, beloveds, are to be known and unknown for the love that you are. Love is not your possession to give or to withhold. As the sun was given light to radiate, so were you given love to radiate.

When did you start to believe that love was yours to withhold? I, God, am not seen, and yet I am not hidden. I am not held in reserve. I am not chosen for one and not another. I am not meant for a particular choosing. I am for all, just as love is for all.

Did I choose the Great Ones more than I chose you? The Great Ones chose love, and that is the whole story. Call Me God or call Me Love. It is the same. By whatever name I am known, I am Love. By whatever name you are known, you are the selfsame love, and you are the giver of My love, for all love is Mine, and My love is for all.

RISE IN LOVE

DEAREST MAESTRO, CREATOR OF LOVE IN THE UNIVERSE

It does seem we've really understood this idea of LOVE wrongly. We say, "I want to fall in Love, or "oh, I have fallen in Love !,"

I wonder how that got started? It SURELY DOES MAKE MORE SENSE TO RISE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE. YOU often speak

of the GREAT ONES, and it does seem, without a doubt , that they chose Love, chose to rise in Love, so as to feel the enchantment

of Love for all. To fall in Love is a tricky business, for to fall for someone involves my making demands on that one I fell for

and no one wants to feel demands exerted upon him or her. I surely don't want someone making demands of me! You either love

me or you don;t. To rise in Love is to realize the loveliness of the other, to thank God for the persons you've found. Today, I

see that YOU, GOD, have sent us here with Your Divine Love in our hearts. And like the sun, it doesn't discriminate, but it simply

enjoys RADIATING IT. Jeshua, the greatest way shower of all, LOVED ALL FOR THE JOY OF IT. WE ARE ALL IN LOVE WITH

HIM.

Gloria's name is Love, but then so is Jochen's and Chuck.....

Love is what my life is made out of My third letter from Barbara Hanson came today and it tells what love is like when you live it. Here it is from "facebook":

"Barbara sent you a message.

I believe most people wonder why we exist. I also believe that most people have a fear of dying and leaving this world as we know it. I have no fear, I believe that once we complete our existence in this world that we currently in, we will only be leaving our shells (bodies), this may sound corny, but I actually feel there is another dimension that we will enter when we leave this place we are currently in.
An interesting thing happened to me on February 26, 2002. After a tiring day of being out with my husband, I decided to relax by taking a bath. I made my bath-water much too warm, in fact it was hot. Unfortunately, multiple sclerosis is affected by heat, making you very weak. The combination of being tired, along with the hot water had a very bad effect on me. I had gotten myself into a position I could not get out of. I struggled to keep my head out of the water, and screamed for help for as long as I could. Finally my last inhalation was not of air, it was of water and I died. While I was in the bathtub my husband was outside working in the yard, so he had no idea of what was going on. After a little while he came back in the house to check on me, and found a lifeless body floating in the bathtub. Lucky for me he knew what steps to take, and proceeded to pull me out of the tub and try to get the water out of my lungs, and perform CPR. He succeeded in bringing me back to life. Once I had taken my first breath of air, he called 911. My mind was working fine, but I could not put words together to speak. I remember being on the gurney in the emergency room, with the Dr. and my husband speaking back and forth about my condition. For some reason the name of the president's wife came up, and my first coherent words were speaking her name. They both looked at me, and the doctor said, she'll be just fine.
I was dead for almost 5 min., but never felt like I was gone. It was the most peaceful feeling I had ever experienced in my life. I now celebrate two birthdays, February 5 and February 26!"
Love, B

Love takes this form. For me, it's so beautiful. For Barbara's husband it was traumatic, for her it was the affirmation that being here is the eternal Present, the summation of consciousness. How sweet.
