Give the Heart

For relationships to really work, I have found, the people involved in the relationships need to know who they really are. And they have to be willing to BE who they really are. When that is the case, we can give our hearts. Otherwise, what we give is the image of ourselves that we believe in. An unreal  persona can't have a relationship with another unreal persona. In fact, an unreal  persona can't even have a relationship with a person who knows who they are. There need to be two people who have their real hearts in it for a relationship to truly work.

Relationship is about giving ones heart. To do that, we need to know who we are. And I believe, to know who we are, we need to love. So it is really circle: we love, we come to know who we are better, then we are able to love better… and it goes on.

But there are so many misconceptions about what love is in the world. So many people think that they can love without being vulnerable, without being implicated. To some extent, that may be true. But really, love is about the heart. If you wont wear your heart on your sleeve, people cannot have your love. Not really.  So, if we want real love and relationship, we need to be willing to get real, get vulnerable, give our heart and emotions.

This is something the world really needs now. We need more of the people to be who they are, to give their heart. We need one another. So let's start loving, and giving our hearts. That is the only way this humanity will be fed, and be happy.

Love,

Re: Give the Heart

Very interesting, Mana.

I think it's a process of opening the heart. Love is an energy that will begin the opening…what we sometimes forget is that through the opening, we will go through times of vulnerability, strength, joy, happiness, unhappiness, feeling alone, feeling together, and all that comes in the way.
Forgetting that, at some stage of the expansion, we think love lost its way or we did, and withdraw.
Only to play that game again. For once it begins, love is relentless!

So true, Meenakshi. Love certainly never leaves us, nomatter how hard we try to turn out backs on it. Ofcourse, free will reigns. People are free to turn away from love as long as they want. But love will always be what they REALLY feel (although it may be so covered up by egoic reactions and ideas that it's hard to sense). 

You sound like you must be speaking from experience. I'm sure. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Give the Heart

I am told that We need to Do something Every day that Scares us…. Lest we Be trapped in our own Comfort Zones Forever.
Never having Been one For Playing in Traffic, and Being One Who Believes that there are greater things in Life to be had Through Spiritual Growth, I have Always Looked For things that are OF the spirit that Scare Me.

Like Loving Openly!  Yikes!  My mind knows all the potential for damage…  My Heart Knows the Pains of Rejection…  But I have Lived in a Cage of My Fear Before.  It is NOT fun.

So I was thinking that Maybe Jashugan was right.  Maybe we must Know our limits… and Live as Mightily as we can within those limits.  But I also think that It opens up the Potential for us to Come to the Limits that we think we know, and to Crash Right through them to Something Even higher!

I have trouble with playing with My Friends.  I can't Roughhouse or mess around with them… and I feel the Lack of casual intimacy with them detracts from my full experience of them.  it is not them that I do not trust… It is Me that I don't trust.  I am a very sensual person, and I am afraid that I would Somehow Sexualize the Contact that I have with them Innappropriately.  I feel that this would cause misunderstandings and breakdowns of trust on their Parts as well.

But I was told by an authoritative source Lately that I should Bite the bullet and just do it.  I was told that My Friends would tell me in no uncertain terms if it was wierd for them.  And More than likely, it would only ever serve to Deepen our Friendships.

I have Changed alot in my ideas about what is and what is not sex since I developed this fear… So maybe it is time that I start acting on my Changes mmm?
