The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

– Even in death love prevails

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

A profound truth that resonates deep within your Soul is Love Never Ends. It defies logic and yet is cherished and depended on upon, especially when you lose a loved one to the tyranny of death.

Love and death are archetypically tied together in the human consciousness. Death is one of life’s experiences that makes you wonder about life with a need to understand.

It is often the loss of a loved one through death that causes you to begin to explore life beyond the limitations of matter and the five senses. It is not uncommon for the death of someone you deeply love to open your mind to reality and consciousness that is more than what you can touch and feel in the material world.

It may be that when you love someone, your awareness expands beyond the limitations of your physical awareness. Take a look back over your life and consider whether life is larger and more wondrous than what is only physical.

Love is the key that unlocks your understanding of life beyond what is only physical. This dichotomy exposes the reality and understanding of life as a dual existence. This duality requires merging what you experience and perceive with your physical sensations, with the perceptions of your Soul.

It is both mysterious and miraculous that you can be aware of physical reality and spiritual truths simultaneously. As you explore this duality, you begin to understand the full potential of what it means to be a human being.

Love is the greatest teacher of truth that you have in your life. The lessons of love and perceptions of love are realer and may be more important than any doctrine ever preached. This is because the lessons of love are recognized deep in your heart and Soul. When you love someone you know you are transcending into what is real and meaningful in life.

Love allows you to take on power that is not available with any other human endeavor. It is a unique force that is available when death brings the sorrow of separation. In spite of the stark reality of mortality, the love is still there.

That makes the death of a loved one an opportunity to learn and expand your spiritual consciousness. Somehow, the very breadth of love and the stark reality and pain of death are incongruent. In spite of the loss and the sorrow of someone who you love dying you are confronted with the awareness that your love somehow not only did not die but also understand to the depth of your being could not die.

Life’s lessons, the particular lesson that love reveals come with a resonance of knowing that transcends understanding. Although love’s lessons may support and fuel faith, they transcend faith. Love teaches truth. Truth has the power of revelation that extends into the very essence of your being.

Your Soul has no doctrine, no dogma, and no denomination, yet it always resonates with the truth.

You may not understand the hows & whys of this, but the knowing and recognition that comes with acknowledging the truth are unmistakable. Your Soul recognizes the truth and understands the mysterious and miraculous with a profound sense of knowing.

Even in the midst of mourning and sorrow you realize that love is not limited to the physical body which you now know and understand to be just a temporary vehicle for your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

There is within you an amazing teacher that always knows what is true. That insight opens your awareness to understanding the mysteries of eternity that are otherwise incomprehensible and unknowable. It is that knowing that becomes apparent when striving to cope with the death of a loved one. Ultimately, to lose someone you love to death brings you face-to-face with the truth that love cannot die.

THE RING OF TRUTH

It is the test of truth known by your Soul that I ask you to apply to any and all of your teachings. Simply give any experience the test of the “ring of truth,” if it resonates in your Soul as truth, you cannot be misled.

When you open your life to love, you create a bond that is beyond both time and space. You open the door to what is Divine in life and what is eternal.

Comfort comes with realizing that love transcends even death itself because it exists within eternity.

Love is the bond that connects your Soul to the Soul of your beloved. This bonding of love is beyond the physical expression because it happens between two Souls. This bonding of love cannot be destroyed by death because it exists within the eternal. This bond of love is what you know is still there as you face the fact of mortality.

You may have to learn to live without the companionship of a loved one’s presence in your life, but you can draw succor and strength from the realization that the bond of love continues throughout time.

When you consider the many ways and roles in life that express love, the eternal nature of love begins to make sense.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
– Henry Van Dyke

When you remember all those you have loved in life, and the many diverse ways that love manifests in your life, the expression of eternal love through our life begins to make sense. We all seek to bond with others through love. That occurs from the initial bond of love that an infant seeks from its Mother. It continues into the love of close childhood friends and the romance and sexual love of finding a mate.

Love ultimately directs all of the relationships of our lives. Friendship bonds can be stronger than familial bonds. There are also sisters and brothers whose relationships are so much more than friends are. These differing themes and variations in relationships that provide the expression and support of love in life create what I call, “the dance of love throughout eternity.”

YOUR DUALITY IN LIFE

Each life adventure provides different roles and relationships through which you can experience love.

It is with this insight on love that you can expand your understanding and awareness to make peace with the concept of physical death. It is through this expansion of your consciousness that thousands of little mysteries can be clarified.

To live in a temporal word of matter that experiences the loss and heartbreak of death yet be an eternal Soul who is a spark of Divine Light requires a dual reality and requires a dual awareness. This duality in your consciousness can be a strength that explains many of life’s challenges.

This duality of a Soul, who has a body but is a being that is so much greater than your body, provides strength and guidance. Ponder on this! Coming to understand your dual natures as you face life’s challenges and potential is revealing.

Death, by its very finality and limitation, brings you face-to-face with the Soul as it is only with an understanding of the life of the Soul and the actual nature of Love does death become bearable and comprehensible.

The eternal nature of your Soul and the eternal nature of love can be a comfort to you at a time of loss. If you ponder these thoughts and put them through the test of the truth of your Soul’s knowing, your awareness expands to comprehend much in life that has previously been unfathomable and incomprehensible.

Love is exalted as the life lesson that honors the bonds of love throughout eternity as an expression of Divine Love in our adventure of life. So remember that it is a dance of love throughout eternity.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Each of us has within us a sense of what is true, what is real.

It comes from deep within and no amount of teaching or preaching can ever really dislodge that – deep inner voice.

It may be a truth you have rarely thought of. On the other hand, it may well be an expression of the wisdom of your higher Self or Soul.

It is an acceptance of what you simply know.

How do you know, that you know, what you know?
– The epistemological question

After a lifetime of trying to explain and justify some truths that I just know to be true, I have concluded that these truths are preconscious and archetypal and form an underpinning for all of our awareness and all of our knowledge.

These truths resonate to the very depth of your being, spring forth as a comfort and assurance from your Soul, and give credence to the expression “the truth shall set you free.”

It is interesting that when these truths are expressed to you, they resonate and somehow, almost mystically, you know them to be true. There is an inner recognition that says “yes, that is true.”

When a concept has been revealed to me that has that “ring of truth” to it, I realize that it seems to be something I have always known, even if I didn’t have the words to express it, or had never realized it before consciously. Perhaps I had thought it, or even acted upon it, but never put it into words.

I have learned over the experiences of a lifetime to trust that inner wisdom, that clarion ring of truth without exception. It has never led me astray. I invite you to use that test for all that I teach and write and encourage you to keep an open mind and heart, but disregard anything, if you like, that fails that test of inner knowing or truth.

I invite you to enter into that inner seat of wisdom where you recognize and know the truth. I encourage you to apply that standard to all teachings you come in contact with.

What is so profound and powerful about reaching that true point of knowing is that it is very freeing, giving understanding to the words, “the truth shall set you free.” From that center, in the core of your being, you can see clearly and old illusions and glamour’s fall away.

I believe this recognition of truth is even more profound than a statement of faith, for when your faith is enfolded in the armor of knowing, it expands.

One of The Forgotten Ways to Find A Core of Truth

I am writing to you today because it seems to me one of the forgotten ways to find that core of truth is in the phrase “Love Never Ends.” This truth seems to resonate with most people, even if it is not understood logically.

We love life, not because we are used to living,
but because we are used to loving.
– Fredrick Nietzsche

This is not a new idea. St. Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians, in his now famous definition of love, writes in 1 Corinthians 13:8 (ESV) “Love never ends;” he goes on to list a number of things that will pass away that are esteemed, and goes on to advise in 1 Corinthians 14 to, “make love your aim.” Why? Because he knew and understood the real truth, that love is eternal.

Love is born on the wings of the Soul and
serves as an energetic bond between Souls throughout time.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is not composed of matter but rather is energy. As such, it is not limited by that which is made of matter, such as the body of the one who first stimulated the blossoming of love. Although the body is temporal, the love lives on.

When you love, in the full assurance of the eternal nature of love, you are free to love unconditionally. You are granted a perspective to forgive the ones you love, which is its own healing and freeing action. The comfort and strength that awareness of the eternal nature of love gives is amazing.

I believe Love comes into being through a Soul connection. Your Soul, and the Souls of your loved ones, are the eternal part of your being. This has a profound impact on empowering your love with the Divine Love that “bears all things, believes all things, and endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:7.

Recognition of the truth that love never ends, frees you to love without confusing love with attachment or need. It sets you free in your love relationships to shed your fears of losing your loved ones. That, in turn, releases you from the worries that may, all too often, consume your thoughts about those you love.

Everlasting Love Meditative Moment

Begin by sitting quietly and calmly, bringing your emotions to a place of deep and profound peace.

Quiet your mind and let the chatter fade away as you drop self-judgment and self-criticism.

Assert your intention to have the wisdom of your Soul revealed to you in a way that is clear and provides insight and direction in your life.

As you do this, take the time to open your heart energy and be receptive to the Love that your Soul brings to you.

To do this you can visualize your Soul as a radiating point of golden Light about three feet above your head at the tips of your fingers if you raise your hands above your head.

Invite the Light of your Soul to provide clarity, insight, and truth. As you invite your Soul into your life as a source of love, wisdom, and guidance, it is also important to understand that you Soul is an integral part of the wholeness of your being.

From that point of radiating Light visualize the gentle descent of Soul energy into the top of your head (crown chakra), illuminating your mind, infusing and enlightening you.

Now visualize the gentle descent of golden white Soul energy through the top of your head down into your heart, gently expanding your heart, infusing and enlightening you with Love.

As this energy circulates from your Soul down your chakras to your heart and back up again, be open and receptive to the expansion in your awareness and understanding that this focus can bring.

Let your heart be healed and your mind comforted. Open yourself to the love that is the nature and being of your Soul.

Ponder for a moment on those you have loved, whether still with you or not, whether in their body or not and open your heart, your mind and your Soul to the sweet depth and comprehension of what it means that “Love Never Ends.”

Open your life to the freedom to love unconditionally, that comes when you release love from need and expectations, and open your whole self to the beauty and blessing of loving, resting in the glory and fullness of the eternal bond of Love.

Take this moment to appreciate and enjoy the true joy of love that never ends. Let yourself heal from any sorrow or fears that may have previously limited your ability to love freely.

Know that, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”

Know that healing comes from this Divine eternal Love. This Divine Everlasting Love is your forgotten truth. Ponder on this!

Experience the amazing healing and freedom that comes when you open your heart, mind and Soul to the blessing and the realization that Love Never Ends.

I invite and encourage you to find this forgotten truth of everlasting love and let your heart be comforted and freed by the eternal nature of love.

Namaste,

Genevieve
