Holding Love in Your Heart

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

What does it mean to hold Love in your heart?

How would that effect how you live? How would that effect How you Love?

How would that effect What you do?

Life, it seems, is a huge lesson for all of us. That life lesson seems to center around learning to Love. But how do you do that?

Over two thousand years ago Jesus walked the earth and prior to His departure gave His followers a commandment “Love One Another as I have Loved You.”

We need only look around us in the world to realize how far most of us have strayed from demonstrating that commandment. Greed and selfishness seem to dictate so much of human behavior that Love is hard to find.

What would life be like if we, you, and me, and indeed everyone everywhere were to love one another? That would surely be a new world. It would bring heaven to earth in dramatic and life changing ways.

Kindness and compassion would govern your interactions. Government would transform if we truly loved one another. If the power of Love transcended the Love of Power, life would change.

This is not a secret.

Jimi Hendriks said long ago “When the Love of power transcends the Love of power the world will know peace.”

But it is not only peace that is promised when you hold Love in your heart. Love has the power to transform everything we think we know about life. That simple commandment that Jesus gave to His followers before He left may have been simple, but I must admit, it is by no means easy.

Loving one another, especially as Christ Loved us, is the opposite of selfish. It is Divine. It incorporates the powerful principles of kindness and compassion. It is steeped in giving rather than gathering and accumulating with greed.

So much of the suffering that is inherent in life on this planet would be resolved by Love. So, I invite you to consider holding Love in your heart. Consider how Love would be demonstrated in life.

What would you do
and what could you do to demonstrate Love?

Ask yourself: How might you hold Love in your heart? Can you give graciously to the hungry, the poor, the prisoner and the disenfranchised? Can you Love your neighbor as yourself? And if you did would that not change the world? Ponder on these questions.

How might the concept of the brotherhood of mankind impact and influence your actions? Ponder on this question.

What can you do to transform the world with the power of Love? Ponder on this question.

How can you bring more Love into the world to manifest the victory of Love as the guiding influence of life? Ponder on this question.

Does that attempt bring you to the realization of the importance of harmlessness? Does that enable you to realize the ancient truth that you cannot harm another without harming yourself? Ponder on these questions.

The Oneness, the Brotherhood of Humanity and the Power of Love are not separate energies and concepts. When you hold Love in your heart, when you practice loving your neighbor as yourself, these concepts come to you more naturally.

This is the awareness that Loving grants. This is how Love works, energetically and then begins to manifest into the world of matter and humankind through kindness and compassion, forgiveness and sharing. Love is the cure to greed and selfishness.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
-Mother Teresa

Practice it and strengthen it in your heart, in your mind and in your Soul. Demonstrate it whenever life brings you the opportunity. In small actions great things are accomplished when you do them with Love.

Within the world there is an energy that is so strong, and so powerful, that unites us to bring it into life and the consciousness of humanity. That energy is Love.
-Genevieve Gerard

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone

-Connecting through Love

This article is part of my ongoing series on Love and Soul Consciousness.

You are not alone!

Even if those you loved have left, passed on, or you have lost contact, you are not alone.

I believe the mystical and magical nature of Love builds an etheric connection between Souls when you love that is beyond space and beyond time. It is this etheric connection that gives truth to the reassurance that "Love never ends."

When you Love, you create something that is eternal. That creation of Love is not limited by matter. It exists in the realm of the Soul and is available in your heart and your consciousness.

Spiritual vs. Physical Senses

It is easy in life to begin to believe that the only reality is the physical and material reality, but that is not true. However, the nature of the Soul, and indeed the nature of Love, are things that are coming into increasing clarity in our present evolution of human perception.

What is spiritual is real. Life is more than what is physical. Perceiving the reality that lies beyond what is physical and opening your awareness to the incredible breadth and scope of what is real is not limited to sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. What is significant is that you can feel what part of a spiritual reality is. Even if you go through a process of convincing yourself that what you feel is not real.

This discrimination between what is real vs. what is unreal is fundamental to the evolution of consciousness in humanity. Sadly, over the past few hundred years of human evolution, science, because of the emphasis on repeatable and observable experimentation of the scientific method has limited the ability to understand and experience the elements of life that are spiritual in nature.

That makes many of the very best parts of our human experience not be perceived or understood.

Life to be fully lived and enjoyed requires an ability to blend the awareness of what is physical with what is spiritual. That is because, as a human being, you are a blend of the spiritual and the physical world. Your nature is to be both physical and spiritual, and your consciousness is expanding to understand and include both.
- Genevieve Gerard

The study and experiments of Noetic Sciences that have been a part of modern science have begun to confirm much of what spiritual teachers have been saying for years but have been dismissed as mere faith. Sadly, that has also meant that because your ability to perceive a truth required belief led to rejecting what is spiritual as not real. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Consider Love. You cannot touch it. You cannot see it. You cannot hear it. You cannot smell it or taste it. But you certainly can feel it. It is real.

If you let yourself experience, Love can bring you more joy and satisfaction than anything you can touch, see, smell, or taste. But, because it’s true essence is not in the material world, it is often dismissed or confined within your mind to be limited to sexual pleasure and gratification that results in defining something that is primarily a spiritual experience to one that is physical.

Sex is a physical experience, but Love is a spiritual experience. The unfortunate failure of the human experience to discriminate between sex and Love has brought much pain and suffering.

The stubborn insistence on ignoring and denying anything that can be perceived beyond the physical senses is the core issue in discrimination in human consciousness between what is real vs. what is unreal; what is temporal vs. what is eternal.

Love Never Ends

The stark reality that your physical body will die may generate fear, a fear that results in rejecting the part of your being that will not and cannot die, your Soul. The Soul, your Soul, is real. Your Soul is integrally involved in Love because the nature of your Soul is Love.

When you Love, it is your Soul that creates an eternal bond that transcends death and allows you to experience what is eternal. It is what allows the truth that "Love never ends" to be a part of the human and the spiritual experience simultaneously.

Ponder that for a moment!

Examine your heart as you consider those you have loved and those who have loved you. Allow yourself to put aside the illusion that only what can be perceived with your five senses is real. Let the resonance of truth expand your awareness and consciousness.

This is the reality that you as a Soul have while you have a human body. To let your consciousness expand to the awareness of your Soul is the next step in human evolution. Love serves as the bridge from your human experience to the perception of your Soul.

It is the nature of Love to allow matter (your physical self) to reach your Soul (whose nature and substance is Love). In this way, matter (which is a substance that has no love and is not Love) can be transformed.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardian

This transformation of matter by Love is what makes Love the solution to the Universal issue of redemption. This is an act of salvation in which every human being participates when they learn to Love.

Love, because it is eternal, can free humanity from the limitations of Life that fear creates. Fear is the greatest enemy of humanity. Like Love, fear cannot be touched, seen, heard, or smelled. However, like Love, fear can be felt and sensed.

Ironically, these two significant life experiences (fear and love) have opposite effects in life. Fear limits and often incapacitates your life force. Love expands and enhances your understanding of life beyond what is temporary and material into what is both eternal and spiritual.

In order to help you with this transformation, I have created this simple meditative exercise on the connection of love.

A Meditative Exercise on the Connection of Love

So that one may fully experience the comfort of this meditative exercise there are some energetic principles you must ponder on in order to start:

Love creates a bond that is not limited by either space or time.
You can strengthen and solidify that bond by affirming and confirming that connection by focusing on and opening to your Soul, realizing that Love is both limitless and eternal. Through your Soul, on the wings of Love, anyone you have ever loved is available to you in meditation when you let your heart, your mind, and your Souls connect.
1. No one with whom you have forged a Love bond is ever lost to you, whether they are still living in their body or not. What is Spiritual and energetic does not require material substance. The power of Love is that it is free to cross the barriers between spirit and matter.
That is true of those you are separated from by death, and those you are separated from by the situations and circumstances of life.
1. Those from whom you have been separated by situations and circumstances may require consciously detaching from any waves of anger, or resentments that may have interfered with or limited your Love connection. If that is the case, to open and release your Soul Love connection, forgiveness may be necessary.
2. It is important to understand that forgiveness like Love is an energetic process and does not require anything on the physical and material plane to happen. Connecting Soul to Soul (imagining a golden thread from you Soul Star to the Soul Star of the one you once shared a Love bond is sufficient.)

In life the energies of Love and forgiveness are entwined with gratitude and appreciation.

When you in your mind, heart, and Soul have remembered and connected with the Love you once shared, it is time now to offer upon the wings of Love, the forgiveness of the other.

This forgiveness is empowered when you also forgive yourself for your previous limitations and failures to Love. In so doing, you now have created a miracle of release deep within your being that opens the energy of Love to be available to you.

At this time, to facilitate this release please use the powerful forgiveness technique that comes to us from Hawaiian shamans using a repetition of three simple phrases:

Thank you

I Love you

Please forgive me

These phrases come from the practice of Hoʻoponopono [ho-o-pono-pono] which is an ancient proven Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

I have found adding these additional words at this time can be very helpful:

I forgive you and

I’m sorry

Doing this ritual of remembering and forgiveness is powerful.

The Love connection that is freed by forgiveness releases your Love from the bonds of attachment and allows the Love to flow unconditionally which is the nature of Love.

I suggest that this meditative exercise is enhanced by doing it with your journal near you and that in your journal you write the names of those with whom you have practiced this Love connection, Love affirmation exercise.

You can make a connection with whomever you have lost contact with, whether through death or circumstances. Then open your heart, your mind, and your Soul to the comfort and sensation of being loved. Knowing you are never alone.

When you need to refresh and restore your awareness of the connection of Love in your life you will have a way you can call upon the energetic connections with whom you have forged the eternal bonds of Love in your life.

At this time imagine yourself held energetically with the arms of Love. You can let yourself feel comforted and caressed by the bonds of Love.

Let this exercise and meditation remind you that you are not alone, and comfort and console you in times of loneliness and sorrow.

Enhance your sense of connection by imagining your Soul Star connected with those you have lost physical continuity with, in triangles of Light. You can expand your sense of connection by visualizing in addition to your Soul to their Soul (3 feet above your head), lines of energy from your mind to their mind (at the ajna center near the brow of your eyes) and your heart to their heart.

For those relationships that are still living, you may wish to take the additional step in the future (when safe) of physically getting back in touch or re-connecting. Even though this exercise is mostly energetic and etheric its feeling and gratitude can be manifested on the material plane also.

Opening your heart, your mind, and your Soul to Love connects you energetically and often telepathically so if you do search out those with whom you shared a Love bond, you may find that they have been remembering you or thinking of you also.

This is especially true of the (Philos) Love of friends whom you may have lost contact along your life path.

This simple meditative exercise is a celebration of Love in life. Experiment with it. Approach it with joyful playfulness and let yourself be restored and refreshed by the awareness of Love in your life and gratitude for those you have loved, and those who have loved you.

Remember Love never ends!

We Are All Connected Through Love
& You Are Not Alone

Earth globe with interconnected triangles of energetic souls — Interconnected Souls

When you open your heart, mind, and awareness into a consciousness of Love, you realize you are not alone.

You are supported by those you are connected with through Love, whether they are physically present or not in your Life. Anyone with whom you have formed the bond of Love is energetically linked to you beyond time or space constraints.

The more you allow yourself the awareness of that connection, the less confined you are by your physical body, and the more freedom your consciousness can perceive. Much of the emotions of suffering and loss are healed by opening your awareness to the Love that is available to you at any moment.

Love, of course, is not attached. It just is. Love requires nothing of you and nothing from you. That is a part of the miraculous nature of Love. It frees you to be you with no limitations. It is eternal and available.

Namaste,

Genevieve,

Love Frees You from the Pain of Attachment

Genevieve Gerard

Love Frees You from the Pain of Attachment

This article is part of my ongoing series on Love.

It is one of the saddest parts of observing the human drama to note how, Love, the most significant spiritual power and healing power in the world can be used, or more truly misused to create sorrow and pain.

The misunderstanding of what love is all too often fuels emotional pain, not because Love creates pain but because of all of the illusion, expectations, and attachments get superimposed upon Love, trapping Love and holding it prisoner.

This is the result of confusing Love with romance and sex.

Whereas, it is true that romantic Love and sexual Love can serve as a portal for experiencing Love, this failure in understanding the complete nature of what it means to love leaves you associating the pain of need and unfulfilled desires and expectations diminished with what is identified as Love but is a pale reflection of real Love.

Free Love to Be Love

Perhaps the most life-changing and healing thing you can do is to free Love to be Love. That requires realizing that what you have been told is Love is sometimes not what Love is about.

To free Love requires discrimination and discernment in your loving relationships. This may require a shift in what you desire and think you need from Love to let Love be the eternal energetic essence that is its nature.

To let Love be Love in the midst of your ego attachments and desire, nature requires a significant shift in your understanding of what Love is, and equally important to understand what is not Love.

Love Is Not Attachment

What is both amazing and miraculous is that Love, when freed from the imprisonment of attachment and desires that have imprisoned it, is able to touch your life and allow the real relationships that have Love, be free.

Love can heal your life while it frees and releases the fears, the attachment, from the deceptions and illusions.

That is possible because Love is more powerful than all of the illusions and glamour that society uses to disguise Love. Yet, to free Love to be Love, to be the eternal and life-changing power that it truly is means allowing it to release fear, dispel pain, and reveal what is real and expose what is not real.

Love is not attachment, and attachment is not Love. Ponder on this!

It is the misunderstandings about Love that creates pain. It is the attachment and desire that keeps Love from being the source of joy that Love really is.

Mother Theresa explored this when she said, “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more Love.”

Love is a Divine force in the world. It is the most essential life lesson we can learn.

When you learn what love really is, and how Love really works, so much of the pain and suffering in life can be removed. It is not only the healing of hurts but rather the disillusion of the harm into oblivion.

How could what is eternal and unified by its very nature create a sense of pain and separation? It cannot! Only the illusions, expectations, and desires can produce the pain of separation.

This is important to understand this both when coping with the potential of the loss of romantic and sexual Love and also in the pain of losing a loved one through the separation of death.

It is a great illusion that you can ever lose one you have loved. It is an illusion that can create vast pain and sorrow in life. It is an illusion that can deny the very nature of what Love is and confine it in the trappings of the limitations of matter. Remember, love exists outside of matter in the realm of your Soul and is held in the embrace of eternity.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love Is A Soul-To-Soul Connection

No matter how much you strive to limit Love to the material and the temporal, it escapes those bounds for the Soul that connects you to those you love with a bond that is not limited by time, nor confined by matter.

True Love really only exists in Spirit. What is observed and experienced in matter is a reflection. Much like in Plato’s famous analogy of life in the cave, what is real, what is true is more beautiful and amazing than the fantasy to which you cling.

To Love in truth is a Soul-to-Soul connection. To experience the full breadth and scope of that power requires that you open your mind and your heart to your Soul.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.
– Plato

Life is more than what you can experience with only the five senses of matter with your physical body. To try to take what is eternal and confine it within what is temporal and eternal creates suffering.

Love Is More Than Desire & Passion

Although desire and physical passion can be used to help you overcome the limiting sense of separation and thus often demonstrate the union of Soul that is possible with Love, it is vital to not fall into the trap of thinking and believing that the physical passion that is ignited is the real power. Instead, the union of bodies is only a portal to the union of Souls that true Love creates.

Sexual Love and passion reveal the truth that when you love, you can transcend the pain of loneliness and isolation, but the transcendence is not in the physical release and sensations but in the connection and expression of Love.

That is what is real, and what is eternal you receive with that connection. Love transcends the times of physical contact and passion for creating that which is unlimited and unconfined by the material world. The sex and desire are only the icings, a treat, a lure, an adventure to open the connection.

That sex can have this connection to your Soul is the reason it is wise to have circumspect and discrimination about how, when, and where you share your body. It is not from judgment or a moral code, but rather the understanding of the power of sex to open your heart and mind and Soul to Love.

That Love is healing and has the power to transform and impact your life, makes the gift of your body potentially much more than just a physical act. Sexual expression of Love is designed in the very essence of your being to be a mystical expression beyond merely a physical act of the physical body because it expresses not only physical desire and passion but activates the emotions. It also stimulates your mind, but what is most important and significant is that it can connect you with your lover, Soul-to-Soul.

It is in that connection, Soul-to-Soul, that Love is born. It is that connection that can free you from the pain and sorrow that attachment often associates with a lover leaving your life and regular contact.

It is a profound truth in life that once you have loved someone, the Love is etched in the annals of karma and time and exists eternally in the realm of the Soul. I have found along with my lessons of life’s adventures that there is an energetic pathway that is never severed once that Love connection is created.

This Soul-to-Soul Love connection is true of many different relationships and roles through which we encounter and explore one another in life. When you recognize the difference between Love and attachment, you also realize that someone you loved in your life experiences, family, or friend or lover is never and cannot be lost to you. No matter what is true in your physical and material life, this is true in your essential spiritual life.

The ramifications of this realization are vast in enabling you to separate from a loved one when life circumstances make that necessary. The consequences are profound when death separates you from a loved one. This understanding is a profound truth that you may have known on some deep and archetypal level but is freeing when you acknowledge it as fact.

The awareness of Love as more than sex, more than need, more than desire, to an understanding of Love as an energy is enlightening. Understanding that the essence of Love is not material but rather Spiritual opens you to the realization that Love cannot end for it is created by the part of us that is timeless and eternal. Letting yourself Love beyond attachment takes you to the truth that Love never ends. Once created and forged in the fire of Spirit Love is expressed by wishing and desiring only what is right for and best for the beloved. This is dramatically different from the needs, the desires, and the ego demand that fueled attraction and passion.

It is perhaps a mistake that the same word is used to express “sticky” Love and real Love. Perhaps humanity should create different words like the ancient Greeks did to differentiate and describe the many different ways Love can be demonstrated in life. Until our understanding of Love expands and grows, we are left with the danger of confusing attachment with Love or desire and passion with Love.

It may be that this confusion is necessary to permit the “sticky” form of Love to serve as the portal for Love, for passion, need and desire to be the reward for the opening to the Spiritual and unselfish aspect of your being that is known as your Higher Self (your Soul.)

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Love Created Is Eternal

Genevieve Gerard

Love Is The Only Thing You Can Create In Life That Is Eternal

In life, one of the strongest urges we have is to create.

For some people, the very act of creation is the driving and motivating force of their life.

For others, the creative urge is focused on creating something lasting. Indeed, the urge to create fuels a great deal of life, in the arts, in business, with families across all cultures and communities.

This urge to create has as many expressions as there are people. For some, the very act of creating something is enough. They are satisfied by the appearance of their creativity and the experience created or the product designed meets their needs. For others they long for something that is lasting, something that exists after their life has passed.

Not Much Lasts the Passage of Time

Many long to see the result of their creativity live beyond their material life. Architects who build and have built grand structures may feel they have captured eternity in their creations. Truly some buildings last a very long time. The nature of the material world is such that eventually, even the most significant accomplishments of human creativity crumble or fade from the attention of others.

When we consider the nature of the material world, we are all aware that nothing ever built and nothing was ever written that lasts forever. Civilizations rise and fall all ravaged and ultimately destroyed by the passage of time.

The urge to create is continuously frustrated by the reality about the human life experience not being everlasting.

This awareness of the temporal nature of life and the impermanence of mankind’s endeavors can provide either motivation and inspiration or can cause you frustration.

I write a great deal in the hope that the wisdom I have gathered in my life can make life easier and more successful for others. As I write, I have available the understanding of others that I can draw upon, learn from and even quote, however I know that the passage of time and the evolution of civilization will erode the relevance of my words. No matter how far they eventually reach, they are temporal and will be vulnerable to the passage of time.

This awareness leads me to meditate and ponder on what we, as human beings, can do that is not subject to the ravages of time. It drives me to consider what I can do in my life that can last beyond my life? I know my life will end one day. But I also know on a deep and profound level that I am more than my body.

I am a spiritual being living and learning through a human body and human life experience for a purpose. I am created as a co-creator with the Creator to evolve my consciousness as an integral part of life that is eternal.
– Genevieve Gerard

The Soul & Love

This co-creative role with the Creator is not unique to me. It is a miracle and magic of the human experience for all. It is why of all the creations of life on this planet, a human being is a dual being residing in a temporal and material body while imbued with a spark of Divinity that is eternal, the Soul. It is to the immortal part of our being we must look to consider what we can create in life that is eternal.

The lessons we learn in our lives that impact our consciousness are lessons that we learn in our Soul. They are the lessons we bring with us when our Soul draws us to the experience of life again. No life experience is wasted when we learn it’s lesson in our consciousness.

I believe our Soul is eternal, and our consciousness is infinite. When Divine Will and Divine Wisdom determines the evolution of the collective human consciousness need you, both what you have to give and what you need to learn, as a Soul, it is then that a mysterious process of creation begins to create your next life adventure and life experience.

Although this is sometimes called reincarnation, I believe that word is often misunderstood by large parts of humanity. I often refer to it as God’s recycling plan and the Soul’s lesson plan. The eternal nature of the Soul embodies a continuity of consciousness that extends beyond this specific life experience. Ponder on this!

It makes sense that with all there is to be known about the nature of eternal life, merged with physical being that is the human experience, that there is an endless myriad of life situations and circumstances that need to be known for your Soul and eternally evolving consciousness to learn, grow and thrive.

As I have lived this life what I have gained from the Ageless Wisdom of awareness and understanding about the meaning and purpose of life, I have concluded that the most important thing I have learned is to Love.

The Failure To Love

As I look over my life experiences as one tends to do as you age, I have seen so many times that I failed to Love and that breaks my heart.

I have made countless little failures and significant, significant failures. Around those failures are the need to forgive both the person I failed to love fully and to forgive myself.

Selfishness and ego are the primary factors that have caused those failures. Equally persistent are my fears. Often what I have not said is as much to blame as what I have said. It is not always easy to love, or to love another, or to love yourself. This task of learning to love can be challenging and pervasive.

Love Is an Act of My Soul

Love is something I frequently write about and teach about, but I am still open to learning about it.

The most significant thing I have learned is that love is an act of my Soul.

When I have truly loved, selfish desire and the need to be loved disappears. I am left with a joy that is just knowing the beloved is sufficient. I did not require them to be a certain way or to do a specific thing. Even if I was no longer in their life or they were no longer in mine, the love endures and is eternal. It is free from both conditions and expectations. My desire is only for what is right and good for them.

Touching that level of relationship that I have learned is love made me realize the truth of the phrase “love never ends.” By loving, the temporal nature of life dissolves, and I am transported into the eternal nature of my being, my Soul.

The bond of love is a bond that exists Soul-to-Soul and is eternal. Knowing this and having learned this about love is a great comfort to me when someone I love leaves their body behind. Knowing this also comforts me when life circumstance creates permanent separations from those I have loved and lost track of.

True Love

By love, I refer to a state of consciousness that is beyond emotions, desire, and need that is aware of the essential nature of another and accepts and honors them without conditions or expectations, wanting for them only what supports and enhances their life without consideration of yourself.
– Genevieve Gerard

This love opens you to the part of your nature that is timeless and eternal. It is from that timeless and eternal aspect of your being, your Soul, that you are able to touch the endless element of another and create a bond that connects you and reconnects you through the continuity of consciousness.

Have you ever connected in this life with some people that you seem to have known before, even before you met them, that you trust before they have proved themselves trustworthy? You may not be able to understand these connections, but you recognize them as the extraordinary experience that they are. These relationships come with a recognition that something distinctive is happening.

The Laws of Karma draw us to those with whom we have forged a bond of love throughout our lives, allowing us to explore and manifest the many ways that love can be expressed and demonstrated throughout life.

So just remind yourself, from a friend to a loved one, love created forms a bond that reconnects and restores us to those we have loved throughout time and space.

Love is ‘Eternal’ for there is no End or Beginning
― Syed Sharukh

This continuity of consciousness and love that evolves and learns and grows and creates in human form for a while and then frees itself of that form is what life is ultimately about. Always strive for love!

These are concepts about a continuity of consciousness that holds your fundamental sense of identity not in your body, your ego or your personality, but rather in the essence of your Divine spark, your Soul. These concepts are different and require expanding your mind and considering lofty concepts of the Spiritual realm and some modification of your understanding about the physical life you see all around you.

It is in learning to love, and most significantly accepting the transcendent and empowering energy of love into your life that your consciousness expands and opens to the enlightened awareness that life is greater than what you can see through your material senses. The whole universe, indeed, heaven and earth are greater and more diverse than you can imagine at this turn of the wheel of life you are experiencing.

I ask that you consider these concepts although they may be completely foreign or mysterious to you and seek within yourself the thrum of recognition that TRUTH always brings and then with a calm mind and an open heart, Ponder On This.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Inviting Love Into Your Life To Transform the World Today

Genevieve Gerard

Inviting Love Into Your Life To Transform the World Today

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Learning to Love is the next step in the evolution of consciousness that is being played out here on the little speck of the universe that is known as planet earth.

Across the great span of space in the mind of the creative intelligence that may be called God, Creator, or Higher Source, is a Divine plan for the evolution of consciousness.

Simply put, life is a process of purpose. That purpose is vast and cosmic. You and this tiny planet which we inhabit called Planet Earth have an important part to play at this time.

We, the citizens of Earth provide something special because it is within the experience of a human being and the human consciousness that what is physical and material (the human body) is able to merge and fuse with the creative essence of the Divine Creator. This magic, this mystery has a purpose that creates the miracle of Love. This mystery has the purpose that infuses Love into the Universe.

There is, all around the world a spiritual revolution that is an integral part of the spiritual evolution of all of humanity.

Transforming The World With Love

The amazing thing is that matter, the nature, and expression of the human form, is devoid of Love. Matter, by itself, is unresponsive to Love. It is only through the blending and merging of what is the spark of Divine Light or essence that is known as the Soul that the material aspect of the human being is brought into right relationship with the Divine Creator to transform this world with Love.

At this time, it is up to us to aid in the evolution of our planet and consciousness! The merging and infusing of matter with Love that is happening here on planet earth through the blending of matter (the human body) with the energy and essence of our Soul (Spirit) which is Love has significance across the wide spectrum of the whole Universe. Earth is a Cosmic experiment in consciousness and it is time for us to choose the higher path to evolve.

It is in the transformation process that a miracle of co-creation is revealed. A miracle that when understood can make a difference to our entire human race. That miracle of co-creation ignites the power of Love and by so doing accomplishes the next step in the evolution of higher consciousness on our planet. Transforming matter with unconditional Love allows the infusion of what is both dense and unconscious, material and meaningless with what is Spiritual and eternal, full of purpose and meaning.

The co-creation of humanity with the Divine is only understood when the power of thought and the importance of the “word” is understood in the Creation process. At the root of that understanding is that energy follows thought and the dynamic power of intention and will are still in the beginning developmental stages of understanding in this cycle of creation. Thoughts and words have power. Ponder on this!

Stages of Consciousness To Usher In Love-Wisdom

Each step in Creation has a purpose. Each stage in evolution is charged with transformation along unique energetic lines. Previous to this emerging stage of consciousness, Creative Intelligence held sway. As important as that step in the evolution of consciousness was, it was void of Love. Love was revealed as the essential nature of the Divine and grounded on planet earth about 2,500 years ago through the actions of the avatar known as the Christ.

The Cosmic step of consciousness that was ushered into Earth to be demonstrated by humanity was the creation of not only Love but more importantly and more significantly the energy of Love-Wisdom.

This merging of meaning and bringing matter into the expression of Love, which is the nature of the Creator, is a process of redemption on a Cosmic level. This mission of transformation that takes place here in our tiny part of the Universe, through the lives of individual human beings is of importance that we cannot even perceive. It lies in what is often called, “The Mind of God” which is the purpose of life itself.

The creative process of the Divine Mind and what is conceived as an overall plan of evolution for all of life, not only here on spaceship Earth but in the vast realm of space, is both gradual and from the perspective of humanity painfully slow. Infusing and transforming matter with the energies of Love, and more significantly the energies of Love-Wisdom requires significant alterations in what directs the life force and life experience.

How You Can Help Transform The World With Love

Within you is the spark of what is described as Divine Light that resides in your Soul. It is the Presence of this Divine Light, this Divine essence that empowers you to be a co-creator, with the Divine Creator. The Soul (your Soul) is aligned with and aware of the Divine Creator, but freedom and more importantly free will are integral to the creative process.

You must remember that the nature of your Soul is Love because your Soul is the spark of Divine Light that differentiates you from an animal, and other forms of sentience such as vegetables, plants, and even minerals.

The issue of sentience (the capacity to feel, perceive or experience subjectively) is integral to the issue of transformation (an act, process, or instance of transforming or being transformed) in the long span of the evolution of consciousness that directs and unfolds your nature.

It is up to you to raise the energetic frequency of this planet by loving all forms of sentient beings, which includes the earth and your fellow (wo)man, and having loving thoughts. This act of love may sound simple, but that does not mean it is easy.

That your Soul is composed of Love and intrinsically understands what it means to Love can be confused by the parts of you that are more material and dense, the physical body, the emotional body (the seat of emotions) and the mental body (the thoughts and reasoning aspect of the human experience.) Unfortunately for most, the ego vigorously strives to keep control of these 3 bodies and resists surrendering to the Soul with dogged determination.

Transforming the world with Love ultimately requires letting your Soul guide and direct your awareness. However, the surrender to Love and the understanding of your Divine and eternal nature that is available through love can be in active opposition to what the ego desires and believes it wants and needs.

No matter how often the selfish needs and desires of what is disguised and purported to be Love, Soul Love, and Divine Love is distinguishable by surrendering the ego and opening and acquiescing and engaging your Soul to Love.

When you surrender to the Soul, everything changes. Selfish desire and demands disappear. A bond that is not about yourself but is about the needs of the beloved is formed.

In this ongoing act of surrender, something special and eternal is created that transcends time and space. A true transformation of matter takes place creating a force and an energy that was not there before. A miracle happens and the whole Cosmos rejoices. A materially focused and ego-driven creature becomes a source for what is both Divine and eternal to enter the world of consciousness.

It is by learning to Love that the purpose of life is expressed, and it is by loving that the deepest desire and the deepest dream of a human looking for enlightened transformation is fulfilled.
– Genevieve Gerard

This Cosmic miracle and Cosmic drama are played out across this tiny planet in this tiny corner of the Earth frequently, but always profoundly. Each step is important because it is the fulfillment of a plan that is held in the mind and the heart of the Divine Creator. The Angels, which are by their very nature composed of Love and aligned with Love rejoice. It is through Love that redemption and salvation are accomplished. It is by learning to Love that the purpose of life is expressed, and it is by loving that the deepest desire and the deepest dream of a human looking for enlightened transformation is fulfilled.

This power of transformation, redemption, and salvation that occurs with Love is why spiritual teachers advise you to, “make Love your Aim” (Corinthians 1-19). Love becomes a portal to the Soul and a vast array of Spiritual gifts that open you to the wholeness of your being as a co-creator with the Divine Creator. Ultimately, love transforms you and transforms the world.

By learning to Love you can participate in a great step in the evolution of consciousness and make our planet sacred.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

P.S. You can also help every day by letting Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on earth by repeating The Invocation For Power and Light. This invocation from the Archives of the Ageless Wisdom was distributed to disciples on the path throughout time and in its entirety to the public at the time of the full moon of June 1945 while we battled good vs. evil during World War II. It has become known over time as The Great Invocation.

Be Open To The Divine Mother On Mother’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Be Open To The Divine Mother
On Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day comes around every year.

And for many, probably most of the world who celebrates this day, it is a special opportunity to show appreciation for the love and sacrifices of your Mother.

Within this day of celebration, the bonds of family are honored and celebrated.

But, for some this day is not so easy.

Among us, in the human experience, there are those of us who did not have a mother in their life growing up or did not have a Mother who fulfilled and demonstrated the amazing sacrifice, love, and support that is associated with the celebration of Mother’s Day and especially of motherly love.

In my many years as a counselor and life coach, I have learned that this day, Mother’s Day, comes with mixed feelings and sorrow for some. Indeed, it was for me challenging and frustrating for much of my life. I recall spending hours in a card section of a store, often with tears, looking through countless cards trying to find one that was not dishonest in its message so I could send one to my Mother for Mother’s Day.

Most greeting cards express gratitude for the love, support, and selflessness of motherhood.

The reality of life is that all woman are not found of love or support and certainly not selflessness that society honors on Mother’s Day.

If you have or had a wonderful, loving, and supportive Mother I suggest on this day you express, not only your appreciation but that you take a moment to understand and realize what a blessing that is or was in your life.

I had a Mother, but unfortunately, she did not know how to love. This was a challenge especially in my years of growing up.

Fortunately, although my Mother did not understand or demonstrate love, I was blessed with an amazing Grandmother who both loved me and supported me emotionally, but most importantly taught me how to love and loved me unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

Unconditional Love

The greatest expression of a Mother’s love is that it is unconditional and accepts you. That is the archetypal understanding of a Mother’s love. Yet, for the child for whom that was not the experience, or even for the Mother who failed to provide that experience, Mother’s Day is often a difficult time.

Loving is not easy and yet we expect it of one another as if it was, just because it is a natural part of our being does not make it easy. This is especially true of what is considered the example and expectation of a Mother’s love.

For many, the lack of having had the blessing of a Mother who loved them accepted them, and cherished them is painful. At the core of that pain is the expectation that a Mother’s love is just the way life is. And, for those who do not, for whatever reason receive that ideal in their life, it is painful.

As a child who was raised with that lack, I can speak to that pain. As one who has spent endless hours learning about love and life, there are some important things I have learned and can share that can help heal that pain.

I believe a lifetime of learning about love has given me an understanding and grace about some important things to understand about love, and specifically what is traditionally the Mother of the feminine aspect of love, that can help.

Good Mother or Bad Mother

All of us have within our psyche the voice of those who have taught us, raised us, and guided us. For most people, the loudest of those voices is their Mother. And for most people that is the most loving and supportive voice that they have. For those who do not have that archetypal loving and supportive voice in their head, more discernment and discrimination is required.

The first level of discrimination that is required is to determine if what you are thinking about yourself is the voice of what I call “Good Mother”, or “Bad Mother.” The voice you, as an adult, have in your head doesn’t come from just the personage of your physical biological mother.

Throughout your life, grandparents, aunts, the Mothers of your friends, and countless life teachers have created and formed what I refer to as the “Mother” voice in your head. Even if you have been so unfortunate as to have had a bad mother, you will, if you explore your awareness, realize that life provided you with those who served in the role and example of what Mother’s love is.

If you are someone who had challenges with your relationship with your Mother, and many have, this discrimination is important. The best Mother in the world was not always an expression of “Good Mother” all the time. Sometimes your Mother might have been dealing with her own issues and challenges and failed to be what “Good Mother” is.

Unfortunately, in the more challenging familial relationships “Bad Mother” may have spoken more often than “Good Mother.” This may have created a paradox and a problem for you in your relationship with your Mother.

Free The Past

This process of determining and discriminating which force was at play, when you remember something said, either in the past or the future is freeing and empowering. You are not perfect, and your Mother, no matter how good or bad she is/was is not perfect. I suggest as you realize that, use that awareness to forgive your Mother for whatever failures she may have had along the way of life involved in your relationship. That may be the greatest gift you can give her this Mother’s Day. And fortunately, you don’t even need to say you forgive her. A simple expression of your love for her will carry that energy.

The process of discriminating and determining which comment that you carry in your mind chatter from the past is an expression of “Good Mother” and which is from “Bad Mother” can be very freeing.

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
– Bryant H. McGill

You can choose to forgive and forget all of the “Bad Mother” messages and that will expand and enhance any of the “Good Mother” messages you received. As you learn about love you can demonstrate it. Ponder on this.

In my life, I am grateful that through my demonstration of unconditional love and forgiveness, my Mother was able to finally say the words “I Love You.” My mother learned what it meant to be loved and because of that learned about how to love. I feel that my being able to teach my Mother to love and to let her know the experience of love, was an empowering and amazing part of my spiritual journey.

Because of this Soul connection, and that love happens at the Soul level, it is possible to open your heart and mind to your Soul and receive healing and restoration from the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother

The Divine Mother is sometimes called the Holy Spirit and her presence is often experienced when people pray to Mary, Mother of Jesus.

If you have any hurts or pains from the failures and foibles of your earthy Mother, I suggest that you open yourself to receive the blessing and grace of the love, light, and healing power of the Divine Mother.

Fortunately, the energy, grace, and love are available to you through either prayer or meditation. You can, through prayer or meditation connect with the love of the Divine Mother, an energy that is also referred to as the Divine Feminine. This is a dynamic and powerful aspect of the Trinity.

There is something that is very important to understand about the nature of Love. That is that Love is created and ultimately expressed on the level of a Soul-to-Soul connection. That is what makes love a real connection and that is what makes Love eternal.
– Genevieve Gerard

The energy of the Divine Mother and the Divine Feminine is integral to helping humanity learn about love and as such is a source for Divine Love anchoring on Earth. It occurs on the Soul level and it is with your Soul that you can connect with it and experience it, learn from it, and be healed by it. Ponder on this.

I share with you today a short guided meditation that I wrote just for this article.

A Meditation on Love and
Opening to the Divine Mother

Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart, Invite the Light.

Take in a deep breath and relax into this moment.

Put all that is past behind you as you enter into right here and right now.

Open your heart to the essence of Love that is available to you and flowing through you from your Soul, your spark of Divine Light, and your Source of Divine Love that is endless, abundant, and eternal.

Let the completely unconditional nature of that Love fill your heart to overflowing.

As you breathe in, realize that the very air that you breathe is a blessing from Source and infused with Divine Love.

As the air circulates from your lungs to your blood realize you are incorporating into your body and into your being, Love.

As the molecules of oxygen move throughout your body along your whole circulatory path imagine that within those molecules, down to the essential atoms of your existence, is the Light of your Soul.

Let yourself be one with your Soul and let yourself receive from the vast universal presence of Source, the healing Light, and the transforming Light of Love.

Draw in another deep breath as you surrender to the empowerment and infusion of your Soul, as you open your heart and mind to the Love that is available to you, that is now flowing through you through the miracle of a simple breath. Let it heal you. Let it restore you. Let it infuse you and enlighten you as you calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.

You are not alone. You are a child of the Divine, supported and loved unconditionally and eternally through your Soul by the love of the Divine Mother and the love of the Creator which can be called the Father of you and of all of life.

Let yourself receive the perfect amount of abundance that is available for you, that was created for you, to empower you and support you and sustain you throughout your life so you can fulfill your purpose throughout this life adventure.

Let every breath you take give you what you need to sustain and nourish that purpose.

Open your awareness to the wisdom of your Soul and the strength and support of Divine Love that is freely flowing to you and through you now.

Breathe in the grace and guidance of your Soul and the sustaining love of the Universal Presence that is here for you and available to you with every breath you take.

Within you is the power to heal your life and live your life in joy.

Quietly sit, breathing in that love, that strength, and that blessing until you are restored refreshed and filled so you can go forth to do and be in the world all that you are meant to be.

– Genevieve Gerard

May the Love and Grace of the Divine Mother continue to bless you and your entire family!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Life is About Learning to Love

Genevieve Gerard

Life is About Learning to Love

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

To those who ponder the meaning of life, the purpose of life is a looming question.

So much of life is wonderful and glorious. And, so much of life is painful and a struggle that even the most casual observer will conclude that it must have a purpose, a purpose that is deeper and more meaningful than simply, we live, we die.

I believe there are, in the pondering of life’s purpose, some fundamental truths, and principles that I have come to understand that I would like to share with you.

It Seems That Life Is About Learning

That raises the question of who is it that is learning? Since I am a spiritual teacher, I examine the world from that perspective. I consider the human experience a multi-level adventure of life that involves incorporating and integrating our whole self, not only our physical self, but also our emotional self, our intellectual self, and, from my perspective, our Spiritual Self.

I believe that within each of us is a spark of Divine Light that is the Soul. The Soul is the eternal essence of what lives beyond our temporal and physical body. It is the seat of our consciousness and is integral in offering us the situations and circumstances that provide us the opportunity to learn and grow to expand our awareness.

To me, life seems to be a vast and diverse university where we, as students, are given the opportunity to learn.

Some lessons we learn quickly and easily, others we learn through suffering and sorrow, yet each event, each circumstance, every situation grants us an opportunity to understand something we may not have realized before.

Expand Your Consciousness and Purpose

To make sense of the experience of life and understand what it is all about it seems that you must expand your consciousness and awareness into the realm of purpose.

To me, to look around the immense diversity of circumstances and situations, the vast variety of the forms that life takes here on this little planet floating in a Universe of infinite and ever-expanding space, there is a purpose to creation. What do you think your purpose is?

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose
and give your whole heart and soul to it.
― Buddha

Somehow the mind of the Creator, who could create the world we see and the Universe we are just beginning to sense and more fully understand, maybe inconceivable to the majority of us but you can still ponder your purpose.

After many years of studying the mysteries of life, especially the ponderings of thousands of years of recorded experience about the meaning of life, I have made some observations and conclusions about life that speak to the question of purpose.

As I have observed and considered this observation, particularly in light of the concept of the purpose of life and the meaning of life, I have drawn some conclusions.

I do not ask you to believe my findings but rather to turn to your own Soul, your own inner voice that resonates with TRUTH. It is from that Source of inner wisdom that I ask you to read and consider what I am suggesting.

You Are More Than A Physical Body

We all know that we have a physical body, a physical nature. And we know that that body lives a span of time and then dies. That is an observation that any casual observer can make. The question that this fact raises about the purpose of life is what happened in the university of life between that moment of life and that moment of the death of the physical body?

Most who have ever lost a loved one have observed that when they look at the newly lifeless carcass of someone they loved, that the body is not the person they loved. Something is missing.

It seems that realization gives us an extraordinary hint. Although we all have a body, we are more than our body. What makes up a human being is far more diverse and complex than merely a physical body.

That leads to the question of who we are and what we are since we can easily observe we are not only a body. We are more. Certainly, an active and integral part of who and what we are as a human being includes our emotions.

From the first breath of life, we begin to feel, and throughout our life, we are learning to understand and incorporate our feelings and emotions.

Indeed, in this great university of life that we all experience understanding and hopefully ultimately mastering our emotions is the course work for many, if not most, of life’s lessons.

That process of understanding is a function of your brain, and the understanding of how the power of your higher mind works is one of the most empowering lessons you can learn in your time in the university of life.

It is a lesson you learn from the perspective of your eternal spark (your Soul) and incorporates into a sense of truth and knowledge that informs and influences the actions you take and the decisions you make as they are presented to you in this life, your life.

Your Soul is available to you from the first cry of your birth and through life until the last breath that you take. Your Soul as the eternal aspect of you, as the seat of your consciousness, is integral to not only this life adventure but to all the experiences and trials and errors from which you have learned across the span of time into the edge of eternity.

The lessons you learn in this life are a part of a vast evolutionary expansion of wisdom and understanding.

The tasks of life can be difficult, for they require merging together a material and physical body with an eternal and spiritual nature.

Fortunately, the Soul has all of eternity to help us learn how to do this.

Fortunately, from the Soul’s perspective, none of us are limited to one lifetime, to only one lifetime of attendance in the university of life.

Your Soul is eternal, and therefore life is also eternal. Everything you have ever learned, every herculean hurdle you have conquered is in your consciousness, available to be called upon by your Soul to help and support you in this life experience, this life adventure, any particular life lesson.

Will you make mistakes in your life? Of course, that is how you learn. You don’t need to suffer from shame and doubt and remorse, you only need to learn.

Within the eternal life of your Soul, you have the opportunity to experiment, try differently, do better. Forgive yourself, forgive those who hurt you, and consider what have you learned.

What might you learn and how might you do better today? Ponder on this every day.

The idea that you as an eternal being (a Soul) are learning the lessons of life and will be brought back into the experience of life to demonstrate what you have learned in your current adventure may be new and different for you. It is undoubtedly a way of looking at the world that is different. It is not even a traditional understanding of reincarnation. It is undoubtedly different from the conventional dogma of heaven and hell waiting for you at the end of your life.

My just exploring these concepts, considering these concepts, may raise within you all kinds of rejection and resistance or it may be a relief. But I ask you only to put those thoughts aside and in quiet contemplation consider what could be so crucial that all of life would be arranged around learning. Ponder on this.

Learn To Love

I believe the answer to what could be so crucial to learn, is Love. It is not easy for a human being to learn to Love. Our selfishness, our pettiness, and our fears create a myriad of obstacles. Transcending those factors to place the wellbeing of another or others may be something we struggle with every day.

Learning to Love can be a big lesson. It is perhaps the biggest lesson we as human beings may ever learn.

Love one another
― Jesus Christ (John 15:12)

Over the span of human history, humanity has been told to love one another. Jesus not only instructed his followers to “Love One Another,” but offered his life as an example for how to love as he went on to say “as I have loved you.” It seems that even the most prideful among us would admit that this instruction is beyond where most of us are in our consciousness.

Fortunately, the Divine principles of Grace and Mercy give us various life Soul experiences to master this challenging lesson.

It is to learn how to Love and what it means to Love
that I believe is one of our main purposes of living.
― Genevieve Gerard

Love is the one thing you can create in your human life adventure that does not die when you die. Love, when it is created, creates a bond that is between Souls, and as it is built between your eternal aspect of yourselves, it is eternal, beyond time, unlimited by space.

It is to learn how to Love and what it means to Love that I believe is one of our main purposes of living.

It is what can bring the eternal Soul of humans into communion and companionship with the Divine Creator. It is what I believe the Creator created humanity to do.

Love has so many ways it can be expressed, so many vast possible relationship permutations that can be created in life that it seems we humans need the opportunity to learn and explore love throughout eternity.

I know that I have failed to fully love so many times as I look over my life that I am grateful that I have more than one lifetime to learn. I am thankful that within me there is an eternal spark of Divine Light that will give me the lesson until I can demonstrate that I have learned the lesson.

Learning to love is a valuable lesson. When we, as humans learn to love one another the world will be heaven on earth.

We need only to look around the world in which we live to see that human consciousness still has a significant way to go to live that prediction. But the promise of a new heaven and new earth is in the desire of all of humanity.

We know that learning to love and achieving the instruction to “Love one another as I have Loved you” (John 15:12), would create a different world, a better world; a world worthy of being in the heart and mind of a Creator who could envision and create the wonder of this world we as humans are blessed to inhabit.

Remember that life is about learning to love and your eternal Soul can teach you this lesson if you listen deep within your heart.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

The Three Gifts of the Spirit – Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy

Genevieve Gerard

The Three Gifts of the Spirit: Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy

In your spiritual life, there are three gifts of the Spirit that help you experience the world of your Soul.

These three gifts are parts of your unified self that help you transition your consciousness from the binding limitations of your physical and material nature into the broader and more aware Spiritual nature. Those are the gifts of intuition, empathy, and telepathy that I will briefly discuss today.

Understanding Your Gifts

To fully appreciate and understand these gifts it helps to understand that as a human being you are a miraculous merging of the Divine force of creation, and bringing life and ultimately Love to material form. In order to understand this seeming contradiction, it is valuable to consider that there is more to life than we as living, breathing, and evolving beings know and comprehend.

Being a human is a unique creation, for we are granted many layers and aspects of life that must be merged and integrated to learn and grow. The different aspects of ourselves and our awareness require merging and blending that which is physical and material with that which is energetic and consciousness beyond our physical sensing and perceiving.

That we, as human beings have a physical and material presence is an indisputable fact of life. Yet, much of what we experience in life, especially what makes life worth living is not physical but energetic.

That our physical nature and the physical body is animal, while our consciousness is exploring what is, in essence, spiritual, makes the human adventure challenging. As a physical being, in a physical body, you can feel and experience many different things of a physical nature. Among these are sensations of both pleasure and pain. But, neither the experience of pleasure or pain give life a sense of meaning or purpose. Since the dawn of time, the sense of meaning and purpose is craved by humankind.

Meaning In Life

A sense of meaning and purpose come from the parts of our life and our consciousness that are not physical in nature, but rather energetic and Spiritual. This inherent understanding about life and our dual nature as both physical and Spiritual beings is captured in the realization that “the best things in life are free.” Finding meaning and significance in life quickly take you beyond what is simply physical and material about life. A life over-focused on the pleasures of life, like life over-focused on the pain in life is not fulfilling.

Balance In Life

As a dual being who is both physical and spiritual, balance is essential. Learning to understand and respect the material and animal aspect of your nature is vital. Healthy eating, physical exercise, as well as emotional and mental health are all important aspects of a successful life. So too is Spiritual exercise, meditation, mindfulness, prayer, and contemplation.

Balancing your physical needs with your Spiritual needs is integral to happiness, to be healthy and to being and becoming all you are meant to be. It is a mistake to focus all of your attention in only what is physical. And it is also a mistake to not honor and respect the part of your being that is Spiritual.

For some, or possibly many, the part of your being that is spiritual is more of a mystery. After all, your body can be seen, touched, smelled, heard and even tasted. Your Spirit, your Soul, is not as real to you. That is why you must learn to recognize and appreciate the ways that your Spirit speaks to you.

The Three Gifts of the Spirit

Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy are gifts of the Spirit and can be as real and recognizable to you as the physical senses, but since they are not physical, they require a different focus and attention. It helps to understand and acknowledge that you are both a physical and a Spiritual being.

You are not just your body, you are not just your emotions or just what you feel. Neither are you just your thoughts or what you are thinking. You are a Soul who uses a body for a span of time, who experiences emotions, who has lofty and inspiring thoughts who is an eternal and timeless being who grows and evolves your consciousness through living and learning and ultimately loving.
- Genevieve Gerard

Part of the way you grow and learn as a Spiritual being comes through what I call the gifts of the Spirit: Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy. Developing and using these gifts helps you learn to function as the dual being that you are.

INTUITION

Listening to your intuition requires bringing your logical mind into your higher consciousness or intuitive mind.

Intuition transcends your awareness into a sense that is wider and less linear than logic and reason. At the time it even defies logic and reason, and that is why it is often hard to listen to your intuition.

Having already thought through a situation, and reaching a decision logically, intuition comes, usually at the very last moment when you are about to act, as a warning voice deep inside you.

To choose to act on your intuition instead of relying on your logic is not easy and may be criticized or judged by those around you. It takes both courage and a kind of faith in yourself to listen to your intuition, but in my life, whenever I have ignored it, I realize that I should have listened and paid attention or even acted upon the still small voice of my intuition.

It helps to realize that intuition is a way your Soul communicates with your personality to grant you a larger perspective.

EMPATHY

Empathy is a different Spiritual gift for it involves transcending the sense of separation and separateness that focusing on our individual nature and being engenders.

Empathy attunes you to the pain, problems, and joys of others. Some describe it as so intense that it might cause you pain.

Undeveloped as a Spiritual gift it can cause confusion and dismay if you are unaware that the source of the tension and unease in yourself is what you are actually picking up from another person.

While the purpose of empathy is to tune us into our ultimate Oneness, empathy must be cultivated with awareness and compassion to not be overwhelming.

TELEPATHY

Telepathy, like empathy, grants awareness into the thoughts of another.

Much like empathy tunes you into the emotions of another, telepathy gives a broader glance into the mind and considerations of another.

Telepathy results from a bond of Love that is not bound by attachment, but exists on the Soul Plane. Like intuition, both empathy and telepathy require your consciousness expanding beyond your logical mind.

These three gifts are often revealed and need to be developed in harmony with one another. Most significant is that both empathy and telepathy are often activated by you Loving someone, not in a sticky and attached way, but in a compassionate and aligned way that honors and respects the beloved while striving to support and empower the other.

Loves Role

I have found that while these gifts may tune you into the thoughts, emotions or needs of another person, it is wise to confirm your impressions. You can use these signals to stimulate sending the energies of Light or Love, but you should do it without your own needs, desires or attachments. That is honoring the teaching aspect of these gifts to help you learn how to Love another.

True Love is beyond emotion and beyond your personal needs and desires. Love creates a bond between Souls that is both beyond time and the world of matter. Love is a Spiritual essence that abides in the Spiritual realm.

Learning to Love is where your physical and your Spiritual natures combine to create something that is both real and eternal. Learning to Love is a gift beyond measure, and it is developed and enhanced as you learn to wield the Spiritual gifts of intuition, empathy, and telepathy. I believe these gifts of the Spirit help us learn to Love in that profound eternal way.

Ponder on this: The higher purpose is for you to learn to exercise these gifts of the spirit in order to demonstrate and enhance your Soul-to-Soul connection that Love provides.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The gift of Love on all that you do!

Freedom To Experience Love Through Free Will

Genevieve Gerard

Freedom To Experience Love
Through Free Will

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

There is in a Spiritual Life the question of Free Will.

Free will is a tricky issue that has created questions since the creation of human life.

Free will is a fact of life. It is a fact that you and I must deal with in a myriad of ways, throughout all of our days.

Free Will To Choose Love

When the Creator first breathed the spark of Divine Light into his creation, free will came into the mix.

With the creative power that was granted to humanity came the possibility of mistakes; the possibility of defying God’s will and working either for or against the plan for His creation.

Free will affects the choices you make about what you use the creative power of your mind to manifest in your life. It affects how you respond to emotions you experience in the happening of your life. And, spiritually it ultimately brings you to the choice of whether you are guided by Divine Will or selfish desires.

The questions and choices that free will bring into your life are somewhat relentless. This is especially true when you realize the ongoing challenge of harnessing the creative power of your mind to create what manifests in your life.

Free will is a factor, especially when you must decide how to respond to the actions of others, who are also imbued with free will and may not act in ways you approve or desire.

You might find yourself wondering about the purpose of free will. After all, it takes only a quick look at life to see that people are often greedy.

At times, it’s hard to understand the purpose of free will. The purpose of free will is a question that speaks to the ultimate purpose of life.

Sometimes people make the wrong choices or act in ways that are clearly in conflict with the Law of Love, or even kindness or compassion.

This freedom you have as a human being, the freedom to choose between right and wrong; good and evil; love and selfishness is an ongoing challenge.

I have in my life experiences and through my meditations begun to believe that the ultimate purpose of life is to learn how to love.

Recently, I have realized that the only thing you can create in your life that is eternal is love. The only thing that ultimately lasts are the bonds of love that you create throughout your life adventure.
– Genevieve Gerard

With each and every experience in your life, you are choosing to either serve love or serve physical matter. In the ancient biblical language, you choose to serve God (whose essence and nature are Love) or manna (the material and temporal world.)

In ancient writings of the Ageless Wisdom, it is taught that matter, which has no love and cannot love, must ultimately be redeemed by love. A human being is the perfect blend of Spirit and matter. That task of redemption falls to humanity by learning to love and then demonstrating love by loving.

To learn to Love as you move through your life is meaningless without free will. To be compelled to Love would have no purpose, no power and most importantly, no joy.

Love is only valid if there is the freedom not to love. In fact, all of the choices that free will grants subscribe meaning and purpose to life.

It is the very opposites, the possibility to choose that makes all your choices have power.

Freedom To Choose Love

What you decide to do; what you choose to think and feel, are all a part of a Cosmic quest that is played out on humanities stage here on planet earth.

Freedom is an essential element in that drama. Freedom and free will are woven into the tapestry of life, your life and the life of every player on the stage with you.

It is this freedom to choose that gives purpose and meaning to the mundane events in life. It is the freedom to choose that determines how your story is written in the Akashic record of karma and consequence. The choice you make today in what you think, what you feel, and what you do are all a part of your creative process as a Child of God who was born in freedom with free will.

That freedom is important for it determines what you create in your life.

This brings us to a crucial question about the times in your life that when you are faced with a choice whether you choose to surrender and align with Divine Will, or whether you will choose only in consideration of your personal ego’s needs.

Invoking Free Will To Choose Love

The other day I was discussing this very issue with a spiritual friend. We were considering the matter of enlisting the help of Angels in life.

Free will enables a human life to choose to align with Divine Will, or not. I believe Angels may only intervene in human life in alignment with Divine Will. So, when you pray to Angels for help, you are automatically surrendering your “little will” to the forces of Love and Light.

For the ego, for your will, this may make it easier to align your will to Divine Will. You can freely invoke the aid and assistance of the Angels in your life as a tool for guiding your consciousness into an alignment of the wisdom of your Soul, and the insight and awareness of what is good and right.

Directing your attention to how to choose love, and teaching you about love is integral to your Soul’s relationship in your life. It is also part and parcel of the way the Angels work with humanity to help manifest God’s overall Plan for the evolution of humankind.

The issue of surrender, either to the Soul, to the Angels or Divine Will is usually not easy for the personal ego. Within the act of surrender is the key to empowerment that can vault your life into success and satisfaction that is beyond happiness. Ponder on this!

Demonstrating Goodwill as A Way to Learn to Love

One of the greatest mysteries in life is the awareness that it is by giving we receive. It is as if God set up a teaching behavioral reward system that can be summarized as “when I do good, I feel good.” We can add to that “when I serve others, I serve myself.”

Goodwill is equated with doing good in the world. For some, it may be easier to think of “goodwill to others” as easier than “love one another.”

So, like enlisting and petitioning the Angels for help may be an easier way for the ego and personal will to align with Divine Will, so may practicing goodwill be an easier way of learning to love. It is certainly simpler to do good than to demonstrate love.

When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.
– Abraham Lincoln

No matter how lost in the illusions of separateness and selfishness you may be, your heart and your Soul long to love and be loved. Your Soul knows the truth about life and your heart wants to express love. Free will can disrupt that expression, but the will to love is an active force.

Free will is still subject to the underlying principle in life that “in all things, God works for good.” The very fact that “God is Love” (Jesus Christ 1 John 4:8) reveals the promise that “Love Wins.”

You can take comfort in that hope, for it is not possible to create anything that is not created out of the essence of the Creator. All the way down to the most material and base nature of your being, you are created with love because you were created by Love.

Love is ultimately built into your heart, your mind, and your Soul. No matter what mistakes you make with your choices in life, learning to love is the ultimate outcome. That is the safety mechanism within which free will resides.

Of course, you have more happiness and joy when you choose to love. To not choose love is its own punishment for it deprives you of the joys and blessing life is constantly offering you.

Knowing this, I suggest with kindness and compassion that for your life, you choose Love.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What Lessons Will Love Teach Me?

Genevieve Gerard

What Lessons Will Love Teach Me?

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

As I ponder the meaning of life I find myself considering the lessons of love.

When I look back over my life the lessons of love stand out as the most important things I have ever learned.

This leads me to ponder and consider why learning to love is more life-enhancing and transforming than the many lessons that must be mastered every day?

Somehow, the lessons of love stand out as more significant and more meaningful than all other life lessons.

I have long seen life as a university of consciousness. Throughout life, you can do right, or do what is wrong. And from that adventure learn what works and what fails.

Each of life’s lessons is important but I believe the ones involving love are the most profound. Cumulatively, these decisions on a trial and error basis form wisdom. Over the ages, as you live and learn, your Soul, as the Divine Spark of your consciousness, learns its lessons that it can make available to you when you call upon your Higher Self for insight and wisdom.

Your Soul, as the eternal part of your being and essence, becomes a storehouse of wisdom. Miraculously, you can call upon that accumulated consciousness to guide you and advise you in this life experience.

Accessing the wisdom that is stored in your eternal spark is part of how your Higher Self supports and teaches you. It’s still quiet voice can guide you and inspire you in many of life’s challenges. Your Soul’s voice is vast and when called upon provides discernment that spans knowledge.

There seems to be an indwelling guidance system of calling upon your Higher Self that works amazingly well in life. The more you use it to solve and resolve your life lessons the better it works.

Yet, it is in learning life’s lessons about love that there is a shift. There is something about love that stands out as different. Learning to love which is arguably the most important lesson life will ever teach you stands out as unique.

That is because love is not a decision or action of your personality, your mind or even your emotions.

Love is a state of being that is created Soul-to-Soul. The essence of your Soul is already love and when that essence is turned to another it forms a miracle of eternal connection. This is a part of both the mystery and the magic of love.
– Genevieve Gerard

Once love enters the equation life’s experience moves from the material and temporal into the realm of the spiritual and eternal. It is effortless for your Soul to make this transition. Your Soul already lives in the spiritual and the eternal. Love is the very essence of your Soul. To love is the expression of your Soul’s highest nature,

Love is different from anything else you learn in life. Love is where your Soul and your personality must meet by the very nature of what it truly means to love. When you love, what seems to be situational and circumstantial shifts into what is beyond time and eternal.

It is with love that the blending of action and being come together in that is unique in the human experience. It is when you love that you can really function as a dual being of both Soul and personality.

The nature of love is Divine Love, so when you love you have opened yourself to the eternal and you have opened yourself to your Soul.

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object.
– Ram Dass

It is this blending of action and being, this merging of your Soul with your personality that makes the lessons of love different from any other life lesson. It is in the coming together of the temporal and the eternal that love can provide such joy in your life. It is when we love that we touch the very nature of the Divine.

God is Love
– Jesus Christ

It is when you love that you have an understanding of what life is all about. Meaning is granted to the most mundane experiences. To love changes everything. It opens you to joy and fills you with contentment.

True love is free from attachment because it dwells in the eternal. We learn to love because we are loved. Our hearts expand with love as we touch our Soul, whose very nature is love. The more we open our life to love the more we know joy. The more we open our hearts to love the more we understand the seemingly incomprehensible concepts of Grace, compassion, and mercy.

It is because your Soul dwells in the eternal that aligning with and calling forth the Love that is the nature of your Soul allows you to begin to learn the lessons of love through choosing to connect with your Soul. It is because when you love another you must access your Soul to form the eternal bond that is the nature of love that your life is transformed by learning to love.

I can think of no situation or circumstance in life that has more power than love. I can think of nothing that is more profound than letting yourself love. Love immediately creates a magnetic attraction that can be sensed by all of life. This occurs intuitively and preconsciously beyond logic or understanding.

Like draws to like so the more you love, the more loving people come into your life. The more kindness and support you receive from unexpected places. As you choose to give more love and be more love in the world you find your connection with Divine Love is a source that you can draw upon without limit for the blessing of others. Ponder on these lessons.

Love becomes its own reward. This reward is not measured in material things but is measured in joy. It brings with it a deep sense of peace, yes even the peace that passes understanding when this lesson is learned and demonstrated.

Below is a meditation to help you experience the Love that is available to you. I suggest that before you meditate that you have a journal beside you so you can record and remember any insights you receive in meditation.

A Love Meditation
to Bring You to the Touch of Your Soul

Sit quietly as you calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.

Let your breathing rise and fall naturally with the awareness that you are the one who is breathing in and you are the one who is breathing out.

Let yourself open your heart and your mind a little more with each breath.

As your mind calms from the focus on your breath allow your heart to expand with the energy of love.

As you are aware that you are the one who is breathing in and breathing out realize that the love that is filling you is a part of who you are. That part is your Soul, whose very nature is love, whose very essence is love.

As you fill your heart with the love energy that is streaming into you invite the Light of your Soul.

Identify with that energy that is filling you to overflowing by affirming

“I Am the Soul”

Let that affirmation resonate with you.

Then affirm:

“I Am Love”

As you say those words let the power of Love fill your heart to overflowing.

Then using your creative imagination visualize a source of Divine energy that you may experience as a golden or ultra-bright white light, a braiding path of love moving into your heart and imagine that light expanding your heart with the Divine Love that is the nature of your Soul.

Let the love stream of energy coming from your heart touch the love stream of energy coming from your Soul.

Imagine those two energies moving back and forth, up and down from your Soul to your heart, and from your heart back to your Soul.

As these two streams of loving light circulate realize that they are blending and fusing.

As they merge and fuse they are expanding the love in your heart and fusing your love with the blessing of Divine Love.

The chalice of your heart overflows as you touch this Source of Love that comes to you.

In this love, with this love, you are being love. Let that essence flow through you and then with intention let that essence flow through you as a blessing to all others and a blessing to all of life.

This love that flows through you and from you is completely free of desire or need. It just is. It blesses every being that it touches without need or attachment. It is full and complete as you are full and complete as you serve as a conduit for Divine Love.

Let this love and this light flow outward to the weary waiting world for as long as it feels right for you to do.

You have merged your heart with your Soul. Let the strands of the braid from your heart to your Soul relax and loosen.

As you become aware of your body again focus on breathing in and breathing out.

Be aware that you are the one who is breathing in, and you are the one who is breathing out.

You are also a Source of endless Love centered in the Will of Love Divine.

Standing thus let yourself be aware of your body and your breath.

Be aware that in meditation with the touch of your Soul you can be a dual being of Soul and personality, of love and Light.

Take a really deep, satisfying and relaxing breath to enjoy and appreciate the amazing being that you are.

Let your breath return to a normal relaxed breathing. It may take a moment for the beating of your heart to quiet and calm.

As you return to your normal awareness take a moment to stretch your body and relax.

Then take a few moments to record the sensations of this experience along with any sensations you can recall of holding love in your heart.

This Love, this connection with your Soul and with the Source of Love is something you can draw upon for your healing and your happiness. It is also a Source of Love you can use to share with all of those you Love.

This Love is given freely, requiring nothing from the other. It can flow freely from your heart to their heart with your only desire being the highest good of all.

You can use the above meditation technique any time you need it to connect your life with Love and demonstrate the lessons of love that you have learned.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The blessing of love on all that you do!

The Longing to Be Loved

Genevieve Gerard

The Longing to Be Loved

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

As we enter the new year I have been thinking about the need for Love.

Longing for Love seems to be a common denominator of the human experience.

Have you ever wondered why love is so important? Have you ever thought life would be a whole lot easier if you had never loved? Have you ever wished that you did not have this deep need bursting inside of you to give love and the even more troublesome need to receive love?

Love seems to be an inconvenient essential in life. Ironically, love is both the source of life’s greatest joys and life’s most profound sorrows.

Somehow, mystically and almost magically, learning to love is woven into the very fabric of life. Both the urge to love and the heart-wrenching need to be loved can be inescapable.

Since love seems to be so essential in life, you might think it should not be the source of so much confusion and pain. Since the need to love another and the need to be loved is so prevalent, you might think love would be easy to give, and easy to receive. After all, love is something we all need and all long to give.

The Life Lesson of LOVE

Why, I have often asked myself as a counselor and life coach, is it so hard for people to learn how to love, and why is it so hard for people to let themselves receive love? As I ponder this question, I am aware that I have come to believe that learning about love is one of the essential lessons of life.

As I say these words, I must clarify that I mean that love is much more than a life lesson, I mean that it is THE life lesson. I believe it is the lesson life was created to learn.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
– Dalai Lama

Our world, our bodies, our life, is the simultaneous merging of what is material and temporal with what is eternal and spiritual; Love is what brings these two very diverse worlds together. Part of the life lesson of love is learning what and how to love. Confusing these issues is easy.

You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.
– Archbishop, Futon Sheen

The more I ponder and consider the meaning of life and my own life’s purpose I am aware that learning to love is the lesson we all are exploring in our life adventure. The way we learn to love may be unique to each individual, but the theme expressed throughout a myriad of manifestations is consistent.

The future success of humanity is dependent upon love winning, we all, you and me, must learn to love. Love is the underpinning for guiding and directing Right Human Relationships. Love is more than the passionate emotions of longing and attachment that are often ascribed to it.

Love Can Be the Answer to All Life’s Questions

Love ironically can serve as the guide by which you can answer most if not all of life’s questions. Since learning the lessons of Love seem to be the motivation behind life’s varied experiences I would like to suggest a little question I often asked myself when facing a decision. That question is:

How is Love best served in this situation?

It is not a simple answer. To give in and give someone what they want may not serve Love. This is a lesson that any family member of someone plagued by an addiction of any kind has needed to learn.

Love is not best served when you harm yourself in the name of Love. That is not Love. That is not what love requires of you. And, most importantly, that is not how you love unconditionally.

Misconceptions About Love

The Media and a multitude of “chick flicks” and romance novels propagate a lot of misinformation about Love. What may make a good drama because it accurately reflects the pain and pathos of emotions is not the guide for how love is best served in life.

These illusions and glamours about love lead to lots of heart-brake and heart-ache as you strive to make Love into what it is not to meet these fantasy images. That leads to a profound misunderstanding about the nature of love. That misconception is that “Love Hurts.”

It is not Love that hurts. It is unmet and unfulfilled expectations that hurt. Again, I state, it is not Love that hurts. It is actually the failure to Love that hurts.

To learn what Love is is essential. However, it is of as much importance to learn what is Not Love.

This is particularly difficult when the person creating harm to you or pain in your life tells you that they love you. It is important to understand what is not love, in order to free yourself from those who use the need to love and be loved as the basis for manipulating and harming you. This false identification of love is sadly the most significant abuse of the innate desire to love and be loved. It has left a string of broken hearts and broken lives across the planet.

Loving Yourself

Freeing Love from the illusions and misunderstandings that are often sold in the world as love requires understanding how to Love Yourself.

When you answer the question “How is Love Best Served?” loving yourself must also be considered.

Loving Yourself is an important life decision and an essential spiritual decision. The result of the illusions and delusions about love that media’s misinformation campaign has created is that you are tempted and encouraged to accept abuse and pain in the name of love. It is essential to discriminate and understand that criticism and abuse are not love.

Self-sacrifice is not noble. Allowing yourself to be harmed is against what Love means. Part of Loving yourself is creating boundaries and honoring yourself.

Balancing what is right to give in a situation with the self-respect and honoring yourself is what loving demands. It is the background against which learning to Love is played.

Sometimes giving someone what they want is not loving. Sometimes is not even helpful when you consider the whole situation. Woven into the answer to the question of “How is Loved Best Served?” is the awareness of the long-term implications of a situation, and the unintended consequences that can happen when you do not consider self-respect and harmlessness as part of the decision that is important.

This merging of the consideration of how Love is best served is stated eloquently by Shakespeare in Hamlet, Act 1 scene 78-82:

“This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Loving yourself, being true to yourself, taking care of yourself are all important parts of learning to love. Not only learning to love yourself, but learning to love another.

The Longing to Be Loved & Give Love

The longing to be loved and the deep longing to give love are part of human nature. Yet, the yearning to give love and express love is also a part of your Soul’s nature. This makes Love both unique and important because it is in loving that your material and animal nature needs and desires can also express your Spiritual essence.

It is in this blending of your Soul (your Divine Spark) and your Personality (your body, emotions, and mind) that happens when you love another or are loved that a miracle happens. That miracle is that something that is eternal is created in your temporal and material life.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love becomes the bridge in consciousness that opens you to the life of your Soul, whose nature is love and whose very essence is Love.

Love is what makes life worth living. It is the core of personal joy and the essence of all meaningful relationships from friends to lovers.

Learning to Love weaves together in a fantastic life tapestry two essential lessons that make life work. One is how to love yourself, and the other is how to love another. In those lessons, you learn to express your dual nature as a human being and your Spiritual nature as a spark of Divine Light. Ponder on this.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Experience Love Being First

Experience Love Being First

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

It is a simple truth that Love is more powerful than hate.

Love is not simply an emotion, but a dynamic transforming power that can lead humanity into its most dramatic step forward in its evolution. This moment in the history of time is unprecedented.

Since the words of creation were first uttered in the Mind of God, “Let there be Light” life on this beautiful planet has been evolving. There has been a plan and a purpose far greater than my mind can grasp.

The Mind of God is certainly beyond my human ability to understand. When I consider this world and all its glory I am struck with such awe, I can scarcely take it in. When I let my consciousness consider the vastness of the universe beyond this planet, there is such mystery that I cannot pretend to comprehend.

The Source of Life, the meaning of life, is a mystery. Philosophers have written their realizations, sometimes with great wisdom and revelation and at times with errors that it has taken humanity many ages to untangle. The course of human consciousness is not a straight line to enlightened awareness. In fact, it is a circuitous path.

When I consider that pathway, after a lifetime of prayerful contemplation and regular meditation there is one force that seems to stand forth. There is one thing that appears to give meaning to the many lessons that life offers in this University of Living, that something is Love.

If there is one thing, it seems that all of life conspires to teach, it is Love. With all of the need for love and desire to love and be loved that motivates human behavior, Love often remains a mystery.

As I ponder, contemplate, and meditate upon the mystery that is love I am aware that it is the diverse power and force that is love that makes it is so hard to understand sometimes. The ancient Greek philosophers tried to help humanity understand love by their three words to define Love.

And, since those ancient times, those three words are still the definitions that are used. You may not understand the full breadth of each of those words and concepts, but that does not make them wrong. Learning the differences and nuances of those different types of love and more importantly the ways to manifest those differences of various kinds of love has been grist for the philosopher’s mill for many, many centuries.

Learning about Love, how to Love, is so important that Jesus chose Love as His determination of how the Laws of God were fulfilled when he stated in Matthew 22: 35-40 ³⁵And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. ³⁶“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” ³⁷And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. ³⁸This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

This answer does not only direct your attention to ethical questions but also reveals a great deal about Love. Love is about a relationship. Love for all of its dynamic power exists only in relationship.

Love Only Exists In Relationships

That relationship can then fall into those three categories that the Ancient Greek philosophers handed down to current generations. Those relationships sum up all of our human experience:

Agape: the unconditional and transforming Love that God shares with you in relationship with Divine Love. That powerful aspect of Love that grants you access to Grace and Forgiveness.
Philo: the love of friends. Those with whom we have the relationships of fellowship, our neighbors, our families, and the brothers and sisters of our emerging and awakening consciousness.
And Eros: romantic and sexual love, which is so laden with attachment, desire and need that my spiritual mentor Robert Gerard used to call it, ”sticky love.”

Sadly, the passion and pleasure principle of romantic love has led to love being wrongly considered just an emotion, when it is so much more than that.

This particular and unique moment in the history of human consciousness is making it possible for humanity to learn more about Love than has ever been possible in our long journey toward enlightened awareness. This opportunity comes with energies that are emerging over this next period of the human adventure, energies that will advance the Plan that is held in the Mind of God for His creation, humanity, here on planet earth.

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.
– Elisabeth Keebler-Ross

The Aquarian Age

What has been called the Aquarian Age in astrological terms is a span of earth history that will span over 2,500 years as time is measured on earth. Of course, in the realm of Heaven, that span of time is an illusion.

But, for us as human beings, the lessons of life and lessons of love that are uniquely available to us in the next 2,500 years are profound because they are the lessons of brotherhood and sisterhood. They are the lessons of unity and oneness and the lessons of Love that will usher in the foretold time “When the Lion will lay down with the Lamb.” This is a time when it is said to be followed by Peace to reign for a thousand years.

Now you and I may have great difficulty imagining the lessons that life and more importantly the lessons of love that will emerge in the consciousness of humanity over that vast span of time, but in The Mind of God, and the overall plan of evolution, love prevails.

I do not know how that happens or when that happens, but I know with the wisdom of my Soul and the profound revelation of my heart that love prevails. We are told from every source of life, about the nature of God and the nature of the universe that “God is Love.”

The Nature Of The Soul

So, as I connect to my Soul for my meditative insights, I am struck by the realization that the nature of my Soul, which is the spark of Divinity that enlivens me, is also love. Therefore, I am Love. The love which empowered conception for this particular life adventure directs my life to learn the lessons of love.

If Love Is First

Today I would like you to consider how your life and your relationships, in all of the types of love the philosophers describe, would be different if you let love be your first consideration in what you do and in what you say?

If Love is first, Harmless and Right Speech become automatic. If Love is first, you are able to consider others beyond your personal needs and attachments.

If Love is first all ethical considerations answer to the question of: how is love best served in this decision?

These are broad and important questions upon which Soulful consideration will reveal a greater understanding of love.

Therefore, I invite you to ponder on this next question: How would you handle your current situation, your current relationships or your current circumstance in your life if you put Love first?

I invite you to as a meditative exercise: calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light of Love to guide you in your life and relationships.

Your understanding and revelation to these questions will be empowered by opening to and connecting with your Soul, whose nature is love.

Meditate on Love. Open your heart to Love. Let your awareness be infused with Love and you will find your life filled with a joy that knows no boundaries and peace that passes understanding.

As you reflect upon and consider these revelations, I encourage you to record your impressions and thoughts in your spiritual journal. It is so important that the wisdom of your Soul be considered and integrated into your personality for greater success and joy in your life.

Consider, if you will, how laws and governance would be if they put Love first. Letting Love guide the laws that regulate and govern society will do more to make the world a better place than anything I can imagine.

When Love is first, selfishness and greed go away. Love automatically aligns with the greatest good of all. Love brings unity and dissolves the illusions of separateness that can create so much harm in the world.

Love is the nature of your Soul and each time you align with Love you open your heart and your mind to a Higher Power. By aligning with Love, you are bringing your personal will into a dynamic and powerful expression of Divine Will.

By putting Love first and letting Love guide your actions you will be supported by the Heavens. You become a Light Worker backed up by the most powerful force on earth, Love.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Love Lessons Karma Teaches

Love Lessons Karma Teaches

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

We, the planet earth, the family of humanity are at a crucial moment in history.

The energy that surrounds and sustains life itself is shifting.

We are One life, One humanity.

Unique life lessons are becoming available to the people of the world. These experiences are bringing a new consciousness into expression. These lessons are guided by Love and the Law of Karma and the Divine Plan of evolution for humanity.

Despite the illusions of separateness that are fostered by belief in nation states and borders, we are all interdependent.

There is only One planet that we inhabit. What one does in their little corner of this world has an effect and impact on the other corners in the world.

Because the world seems large, it is possible to ignore this. Because human skin and eyes come in many different colors, it is possible to deny this. However, there is only one race on this planet; the human race.

Humanity has been living, growing and evolving since the dawn of time. Since the moment when life was created with the words “Let there be Light,” there has been in the mind of the Creator a plan. Humanity is a cornerstone of that plan.

That makes human life valuable. That makes each and every life matter. That makes your life matter. That makes your life an integral part of a Divine Plan.

Philosophers and theologians have long pondered the meaning of life. I have often pondered the meaning of life. I believe life is too vast and amazing to exist without a purpose.

What has, for me, given meaning to life, is that each and every person who lives on this planet is involved in a great adventure.

In its various ways it can be experienced on this planet, life gives us a tremendous opportunity to learn and grow. Absolutely nothing that ever happens in your life separates you from that opportunity.

Although the creator has a plan, we, human beings were created with Free Will. Free Will gives you the opportunity to decide what lesson you take from each and every experience your life adventure offers up.

Free Will is a “Law of Life.” However, it is not the only law. For all of the free will, life is also subject to “The Law of Karma.”

The Law of Karma

The “Law of Karma” actually enhances and empowers free will because the Law of Karma is all about you learning life’s lessons. The Law of Karma presents life lessons as many times and as many ways as you need to learn that lesson.

Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and future suffering.

The Law of Karma always made more sense to me as the way a God who is described by Jesus as a God of Love would arrange life. The Law of Karma seems more efficient as a learning tool than the concepts of Hell Fire and Damnation. Although fear of punishment may control behavior, I fail to see how you learn from that. You are an eternal being, a Soul, and a human personality. To live life fully in relationship with God there are many mistakes and failures of your free will.

I would often ponder, what is the lesson that life and karma teach?

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One’s own karma, one’s own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever.
– Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

The Most Important Lesson is Love

As I consider the lesson karma teaches, I realize that the most important lesson is Love. The lesson that life offers up time and time again is how to love. Love cannot be demanded; free will precludes that. However, Love can be demonstrated.

When you express Love, you activate the Law of Karma. And, when you fail to love, you activate the Law of Karma. When you love, especially when you let your Love reflect Divine Love, you are learning one of the most valuable life lessons.

Love is meaningless if it is not given by Free Will. Love based on need and desire falls short of what love really is. In life, love is so much more profound than an expression of need and desire.

Divine Love is unconditional. That is most often a challenge for a human being caught up in their separate ego and separative consciousness. Therefore, the Law of Karma comes into play.

The lessons of the Law of Karma are often harsh and painful. Loving is not easy. The life lessons that teach us how to love are often lessons of loss that result in emotional pain. That may lead to the illusion that love is only an emotion.

That misunderstanding about what it means to love someone is part of what can be so confusing about love. In English, the same word is used to describe love in every form. That can make you believe there is no difference between attachment and need focused upon a loved one versus Divine Love.

That cannot be further from the experience of love.

Love and need, and love and attachment need to become separate in your mind when you consider the lessons of love in life.

This merging of need and desire, this blending of attachment with the experience of loving is something it is important to consider.

Psychologist and philosopher Eric Fromm, who wrote a lot about the different forms of love and different expressions of love wrote:

Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’
Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’
– Erich Fromm

That difference is one of Karma’s life lessons about Love. It is one of the most profound and life transforming lessons you will ever learn. You need to ponder on this lesson.

The primary lesson that Love teaches is that “Love never ends.”
Love is beyond attachment, desire, and need because Love is eternal.
– Genevieve Gerard

This shift in consciousness, in loving, takes love from being a sticky and sentimental expression into a miraculous and transcendent experience.

Separating love from need; separating love from passion and desire; are just a few of the life lessons that the Law of Karma seems to teach us with broken hearts and broken dreams.

Love is the energy of the Soul
joining and connecting with
the Love essence of another Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

Because Love is an expression of your eternal Soul in connection and relationship with another Soul, Love is both transcendent and in some mysterious way transpersonal. This Soul-to-Soul connection of Love is what makes it possible to understand and to do what was commanded by Jesus in John 3:13 when he said,

A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another,
even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
– Jesus Christ, John 3:13 New American Standard Bible

It is Humanities destiny to learn how to love.

Right next to this understanding and expression of Jesus’s teaching about Love is the direction to “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Now, those two lessons about Love are so universal that I am sure they have been heard in every nation of the world, whether it is a “Christian nation or not.”

We need only a quick look at the world we live in to see that those lessons are still on the Law of Karma’s text book.

Had humanity learned the lessons of Love encompassed in those two teachings of Jesus, Brotherhood and Sisterhood would have created the world in which war was impossible.

Clearly we, as the family of humanity still have a lot to learn about Love.

The beautiful thing about the force of Divine Love is that it is unconditional. Because of that, we are forgiven. Our human failures to learn the lessons of love are forgiven. And, the Law of Karma grants us the opportunity to try to get it right, again.

My prayer for the world today is that we all pay attention to the lessons of karma and consider what love is trying to teach us today.

Questions To Ask Yourself

I ask you to put your thoughts and your emotions to the test by asking the question:

How is Love Best Served Today?
Has the Law of Karma taught me the lessons of love that result in compassion and brotherhood?
Have I loved my neighbor?
Have I followed Jesus as a teacher and guide in my life when he said in the teaching parable Matthew 25:40, “Yea though you have done it to the least of these my brethren you have done it to me.” See my The Least of These My Brethren article.

These are the lessons of love that the Law of Karma will teach until the future day, perhaps seen only in the mind of God, when the Divine Plan is finally completed.

These are the decisions men and woman of Goodwill must consider across the world, across every religion and every culture.

These are the choices that every government and every government leader must decide. And, as has always been the case, Love will be defended by the Law of Karma.

There is a part of a mantra that I focus on when faced with these decisions. It is taken from a Mantram called the Mantra of Unification published in 1955 by Alice Bailey and a Hierarchical Master Djwhal Khul in their book “Discipleship in the New Age Vol II pp 146-147.”

Let the Soul control the outer form, and life and all events, And bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the time.

Let vision come and insight.

Let the future stand revealed.

Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.

Let Love Prevail.

Let all men (and woman) Love.

I choose Love. I fail sometimes, but I choose Love. I invite you to join me in choosing Love.

I know the Law of Karma will come along and teach me the ways I need to learn what it means to love and how to “love my neighbor as myself.”

But today, as well as I can, I choose love and I invite you to also choose love.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Be Open To Love

Be Open To Love

– Love is Where Two Worlds Meet

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

We live in a material world. Life is impacted by what can be seen, touched, heard, smelled or tasted. These five senses are of vital importance as they impact on your understanding of the world.

The strength of these five senses is so powerful that it is easy to believe that unless you perceive something with your five senses, it is not real. That is a mistake!

The truth is that we live in the material world as citizens of two worlds. Neither world reflects the wholeness of whom and what we are as human beings.

A human being is a miraculous blend of a physical being with a spiritual being. Any attempt to be only one part of this equation is doomed to failure. Indeed to require every part of life to be able to be perceived through your five senses, or to believe that only what you can see and touch is real, defies life’s experience.

The successful blending of your awareness as both a physical being and a spiritual being is one of the great mysteries of life. It is easy to err on one side or the other based on the situations and circumstances of your life.

Indeed, answering the questions of the dual aspects of human nature has fueled the ponderings of philosophers and theologians since the dawn of time. Likewise, it has fueled many of my questions about life.

This dual nature of human experience led me to summarize this dichotomy in this way on Goodreads.com:

You are a miracle of Divine Light, created by Divine Love and infused with Divine Wisdom to be a Soul having a human experience, right here and right now on planet earth.
― Genevieve Gerard

It is the blending of these two worlds, the material world and the spiritual world through which much of the mystery of life exists. That is because it is challenging to understand how what is eternal can co-exist so intertwined with what is temporal.

Recently, my challenge to understand this mystery has led me to understand that the bridge between these two worlds and these two realities is Love. Anyone who has every loved has crossed this bridge.

One way this merging of the two worlds happens is when two individuals are initially drawn together by the urges and expression of physical desire. Out of their romance, they begin to realize that something more is present. That more is love.

Be Open To Love

In opening your heart and your mind to love you begin to experience something that is bigger than desire and subsequent gratification of physical expression. Often, that drift across the barrier between these worlds is so subtle that you don’t even realize you have gone from the world of matter to the realm of your Soul, which is the realm of Love.

This transition is most often called “falling in love.”

Love requires a merging of Souls. That fusion takes you out of the world of the temporal and physical into the world of the eternal.

When love is created, there is a subtle energetic shift. This change is often tangible and may be a surprise to the one who has fallen in love.

The realization that love has been created out of a relationship changes everything. It changes the nature of friendship, and it changes the depth of romance. When it happens in the throes of passion and ecstasy, those who are aware of subtle energies can tell you that they felt the shift from “just sex” to love.

That transition can be frightening. Love is powerful. Not everyone wants Love. Some people fear Love. Free will enables an individual to run from Love and reject Love.

For some, just that touch across the bridge is so different that it is unknown and terrifying, and they choose to reject it. For others, it opens them to a lifetime of bliss and joy.

Of course, sex and passion are only one way to cross that bridge between the temporal and the eternal, from the world of matter to the world of Soul. It is one of the most amazing parts of life.

Poets praise that portal to Love. The real miracle is not the passion or the sex, but that you, from your selfish, physical personality have been able to cross that bridge, a bridge from the limitations of matter into the eternal realm of unconditional Love.

In pondering this miracle, I am amazed at the wisdom of the Divine in using Love to create that bridge between these two realities and the two worlds.

As I mentioned, romantic and sexual love is not the only pathway on the bridge of Love. True friendship is also a path that can take you across that bridge.

Friendship is a gentler and less threatening way to move into the experience of Love. And it is one of the three ways the Ancient Greeks described Love. Friendship is a portal to Love.

Love, no matter whether erotic or the Love shared by family and friends, is an essential part of the lessons of life.

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.
– George Sand

Love serves as a bridge from your personality to your Soul. The essential nature of your Soul is Love. When you love someone, a bond between Souls is created that transcends beyond time and space.

The giving of love is an education in itself.
– Eleanor Roosevelt

In the university of life, I have come to understand that learning to love is the most life transforming lesson. When you Love, you merge the world of matter, which is temporary and fleeting with the realm of the Soul.

This is a major transition in consciousness. To be consciously connected with Love opens the doors of awareness to joy. Love is the most powerful healing force we can touch with our mind and heart. Ponder on this!

Love has the power to guide your life as it opens you to your Higher Self (your Soul).

The deepest ethical questions in life are best answered by considering “How Love is best served in this situation?”

The unconditional nature of Love allows you to forgive, even what seems unforgivable.

By loving you have crossed from the world or sorrows and the veil of tears to an awareness of the bliss of the world of the Soul and the Peace that passes understanding. These are the hallmarks of the world of Spirit (the Soul.)

To begin to experience this joy watch my YouTube, Bliss is Perfect Happiness.

Just remember, Love is the bridge where two worlds meet and your life is opened to greater happiness and joy. I recommend that you dare to learn the lessons of Love. I suggest you open your heart to the love that is the essential nature of your Soul and let yourself love freely, unconditionally and spontaneously.

Share the radiance of your Love with everyone you meet. Be a source and a force for Love in the world until you can “Give Love, Live Love and Be Love.”

Namaste,

Genevieve
