There are so many things to consider right now, but as I truly believe that increased levels of Love are entering our world, I'm going to look, again, at Love. As a woman of the mid-twentieth century, I guess I have had kind of a split view of this quality. It's interesting, definitions call "love" an emotion, a feeling, but I think the Love we are beginning to experience is of a completely different nature. It is a serious form of power.
My brain struggles to really make sense of this. When I try to envision (and feel) the enormity of the Love of the Goddess, I linger in the "place" of gentleness, softness, nurturing, and almost passivity. I long for such softness, I think of statues and paintings of the Virgin Mary, where she looks at us through soft, soulful eyes. In a duality model, it is hard to see Love as anything but gentle. (Or romantic.)
Yet what I am really beginning to grasp is the active power of Divine Love, the blurring of the sharp line between Love and power. Because what we are beginning to see is that the energy of the highest levels of Love is, in fact, exceedingly powerful. It has the power to create universes, the power to transmute hatred, the power to change every aspect of our world.
Looking at this from a personal standpoint, I've tended to think that, by always at least trying to choose a path that was most loving and least hurtful, I was doomed (as it were) to being at the bottom. Even now, I sometimes feel the pushback when I am being myself. But suddenly (or it seems sudden!) such a big shift is happening that I can imagine choosing Love as being on the right side of history.
In recent weeks, whatever scales remained over my eyes have fallen, and I can sense the fear inherent in almost every event around us, almost every institution, almost every news event, trend, you name it. Not just in the wars and conflicts. The closer you attune with Love, the harder it is to be in the world of fear in any form. I still have moments where fear hits me in the pit of my stomach. I still cringe, doubt myself, feel powerless. And in the old days, my personal alignment with Love didn't feel powerful enough to sustain me once I felt fearful. But now, with Love in the ascendent, I can almost immediately feel this power dissolving the fear. Literally, dissolving. Not "killing", or "being victorious over", or "eliminating" fear. Just simply making fear obsolete. Unnecessary. And unworkable. I mean, moving forward, Love will be the only power that works.
