NEW BEGINNING - 5



Change your belief, change your life

To shift from despair to joy is very simple: stop believing what makes you unhappy and start believing that all is well and God’s will shall prevail.
This is what I did when I switched my belief that my “roommate” was my “twin flame”, the one I have been expecting all my life, the one with whom I would realize the “sacred union”.

I fantasized about the union of the souls for as long as I can remember. To sublimate this deep desire of my soul, I wrote a book called “Transmutation, a Novel about Eternal Love”, based on the Hermetic tradition and a number of dreams that gave me the canvas on which to build my story. (www.transmutation-novel.com)

With such expectations I was doomed to be disappointed, since my roommate had other ideas about what our relationship should be. He saw me as a friend, a great friend, but nothing else! He could not respond to my yearnings and this made our co-habitation rather uncomfortable. (See New Beginning – 4).

After a particularly harsh evening, the next morning we had a long conversation that finally cleared the air. I accepted the fact that I had been wrong about what he represents in my life. We do have a soul contract, but it is not the one I thought it would be. We are learning from each other and we are helping each other. Our lives have changed for the better since we have met because of our action on each other. And this is it!
Now that I shifted belief, I feel like another person. I am as happy as one can be, enjoying every minute of his presence in my life, and so does he (I hope!!). Our relationship became smooth and easy, like real friends should be.

I hope to find my “twin flame” someday, either here or in another dimension, and I believe I will because of my recurrent yearning for such an experience. God’s will shall prevail!

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

 
 
To better understand what unconditional love is, look at the way your dog loves you, no matter how you treat it. For your dog, you are God and your dog will never question its love for you. For us humans, the closest we come to unconditional love is the love we have for our children, especially when they are still infants. Later we might have expectations from them!
 
Unconditional love is love with no expectations. It is not a “feeling”, it is a state of being, a complete unification of our heart and soul, a state of pure bliss, no matter what the circumstances of our life are. We love God unconditionally. We have to love ourselves unconditionally, because we are ONE with God, only separated from Him/her by our human condition. We have to love nature unconditionally; we have to love our fellow humans unconditionally, no matter how disturbing some of them might seem to us. God loves us all unconditionally.

As we can see, this kind of love is not the norm among us humans. We love with conditions, with expectations, with emotions, both positive and negative. In fact, what we call love is a sentimental vision of life, based on the yearnings of our ego. This kind of love can also be destructive if not fulfilled and easily turn into hatred. This kind of love is jealous, possessive, territorial, selfish and narcissistic. In order to love unconditionally, our ego has to be integrated, and used only when necessary to assert our rights. Detachment is the result of integrating our ego. When we are no longer controlled by our emotions we are ready for unconditional love.
 When it comes to romantic relationships, unconditional love is rare, because when we are in love we have many expectations.  As long as both partners feel loved for who they are, love is bliss. However, if criticism or any other negative behavior appear, it goes down the drain, because this love is ego driven.

How to “integrate” our ego? With deep inner work, daily meditation, listening to our higher self and applying the rules of unconditional love as much as we can.

Relationships


 
Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.
― Deepak Chopra
