How did you Learn to Love?

...excerpt from "The Stages of Love"
 
"...Synergy - the doctrine that the human will cooperate with divine grace in the work of regeneration; the united action of different agents producing a greater effect than the sum of the various individual actions."      --Unknown
 


Love is a very difficult word to define, perhaps because its reality approaches spiritual dimensions, which are beyond time and space, and thus, our comprehension.

Love is perhaps more easily described by what it is not. Love is not fear, hurt, pain, jealousy, bitterness, hate, separateness, lust, attachment, aggressiveness, ego-centeredness, indifference, possessiveness, suppression - the list goes on.

Love is expansion beyond our ego limitations. It is the ability to identify with the other, to let go of our self-interest and personal needs enough to really hear and understand the other's needs and interests. It means caring enough to sacrifice, when necessary, our own pleasures and desires when the other's needs are obviously more important.

Love is the force that brings about unity and harmony. It is the "glue" of the universe. It helps persons with different egos, desires, programmings and needs, to overcome all those potentially repelling forces and unite. Love needs not so much to be learned or cultivated, but rather released or brought from within us to the surface. We are love. Our basic nature is love. However, our ignorance, fear and/or attachment has buried it so deeply within us that it is sometimes difficult to summon or maintain.

Loving others steadily and independently of their behavior, is not an easy achievement.  --Robert Elias Najemy
