We can not hear love, nor can we see it. Certainly we know when we
have it however, as we long for the person who we share this emotion
with. We miss them, we want to protect them and we want to spend time
with them.

Isn't it interesting that out of all the billions of people on this earth that we
only find a few who we are capable of feeling this connection with. In fact
some people seem to bring out a quite opposite feeling in us.

Yet we do have the capacity to love not only other humans, but animals
as well. Certainly if you have ever had a special pet, you are aware that
the feeling was reciprocated as well.

What is love though? We know when love is present there is a special
feeling that we can feel quite strongly. When we are "in love" the feeling
is very much overwhelming. Love is more than the feeling that we feel
though, it is also a connection between two similar things. It is a state of
mind where one is eager to allow the actions of another. It is a state of
mind where one wants to share freely with another. Love is a binding
force between two things that compels them to come together in
complete allowing of differences.

Why does this magical spell only exist between certain combinations of
people? Why do some people seem completely detached from this
emotion in general? And why do some people seem to flow with love for
anyone they meet?

Here we go, the answer is... JUDGMENT! Pretty simple aye? The thing
about love is that love is the natural state of our being human. It is the
normal setting of being a human. If we did not interfere with our natural
state of being, then love would be what we would have. Love exists when
we do nothing. Love is pushed aside anytime we use judgment, be that
judgment of another person or of self.

Love does not exclude anything for reasons of judgment. Of all the people
you know in your life that you can honestly say you have no feelings of
love for them, then you know you have judged these people for any
number of reasons. When you judge someone or something you have
separated yourself from that person, you have divided yourself from that
person, you have cut yourself off from the natural normal connection that
is always present. If your judgment was not in the way, then there would
be only love. Love is always present, always there. Love exists no matter
what. It only seems elusive when we build walls of judgment towards
others.

If you want your life to be more loving then all you have to do is stop
judging others. This action would immediately remove the walls between
you and everyone else allowing you to experience the flow of love that is
always flowing. You do not have to do anything to have a lifetime full of
love. You only have to allow it to be. Love will not condemn another as
some would. Love would not think hateful thoughts of another. Love
allows, and allows unconditionally.

It is one thing to make an observation of someone and notice that
perhaps their lifestyle is not something that makes you feel as if you want
to be around this person. You can honor this feeling toward yourself and
at the same time still not judge this person for who they are or how they
live their own life.

Love is about understanding that we are all the same, living in unique
situations in a billion different circumstances. We can notice that some
others may be doing harmful actions to themselves or others. We can
hold these people responsible for their actions. We can certainly set
boundaries of how we wish to be treated. We can even get annoyed by a
person with a specific personality. As long as we use observations, and
do not cross over to judgment, then we can still leave the current of love
open to flow through us.

Judgment feels bad, you know that you are exercising judgment when you
think of someone in a way that makes you feel bad inside. You have
projected that bad feeling upon the person you are thinking about, yet the
feeling is within you! This is when you have let an observation cross over
to judgment. This is when you have unplugged yourself from the natural
current of love that flows 100 percent, all the time.

The thing about love is that when we allow ourselves to be connected to
this current as much as humanly possible, we are not just feeling better
about life, but we are also in harmony with life, with the universe, with
God if you will. When remaining in this state of mind, we create
tremendous experiences in our lives that seem to come from everywhere.
It is as if we are tuned into the power of prosperity directly.

Living in this current of love means that we have allowed the universe to
be as it is. We have not separated ourselves from parts of the universe
by judging it as we see it in others. This conscious allowing of the
universe as it is, allows the universe to provide more and more to you,
since you have not closed yourself in behind any self created walls.

Begin to notice your thoughts of others. Begin to notice if you prefer to
notice negative things and then think about those things; or notice if you
will overlook some distasteful things to find qualities that you can admire,
and then think of those things. Spend a day hooking up to that current of
love and see how fast it can sweep you away!
Love
