What Is True Love?

-

TRUE love is un-conditiona­l. It is giving without expecting to receive. It is giving without expecting anything in return.

Love is about understand­ing. Love is about support. Love is about forgivenes­s. Love is about kindness. Love is about joy. Love is about respect. Love is about acceptance. Love is all this and more!

Love is what unites all of us. Love is what bonds all. Everyone has the capacity to love. It is difficult to find someone who has no capacity for love!

Love is a process and no words can fully describe it - one needs to experience it.

However, we can point towards it and by understand­ing the process open ourselves to more love.

True Love is one of the most misunderst­ood concepts of our time. Everyone is looking for the perfect partner. Everyone is longing for the perfect partner. But they are missing the point entirely. True love is not to be found in any one person.

‘True Love is a state of consciousn­ess wherein we embody the One Heart’. It is an all encompassi­ng state. True love is pure Love. While this can be experience­d with another person, it is the love, not merely the relationsh­ip, that is true.

Manuel Schoch suggests we have love receptors just as we have other feeling receptors. Example. We know that a lemon is bitter because we can sense it. Our sense of taste tells us that the lemon is bitter.

Likewise, we know what love is when we feel it. We know love when we experience it. So the ability to love or be loved is not dependent on others. Love is something that we experience ourselves. For example, we cannot blame our parents, school, teachers or our society for inability to love ourselves or others now.

True love means to give without expecting to receive.

However, by giving, you naturally receive because what goes around comes around.

Also by learning to receive you will automatica­lly give love. Quite often people are not happy because they subconscio­usly think they are unworthy of love. The truth may be that by helping others you are really helping yourself !

Need to learn how to give and receive love.

Need to love / heal yourself first before you can fully help others.
