Awesome love

As we face Easter and contemplate risen love and ascension, a sense of hope and joyful freedom and light feels almost palpable. There’s a universal love which transcends and transforms suffering and darkness. This is true alchemy, this transcending love!

It illumines the traumatic suffering that so many of us have endured. Not about punishment or retribution, our difficulties and pain can be transformed with love into opportunities for growth, more awareness, and precious evolution.

Mother Teresa captures the mystery when she said, “I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts – there can be no hurt, only more love”.

As a beautiful mother, she points to the heartbreaks that bring us to our knees and the humility and vulnerability that true love and empathy entail. How else can we forgive each other and go forward as the magnificent beings that we are!

This love is beyond culture, traditions and conditioning. It’s not confined by boundaries of personal relationships or personal gain. We taste it when we venture to look within and care to deeply know who we are – beyond society’s superficial identities and definitions.

“Loving until it hurts” reminds me of years of truth-seeking to understand what happened in the early life, unconsciously blocked out by my brother, sister and me, due to intense daily violence and abuse.

Truth is a “double-edged sword.” Wisdom and light at the end of this spiritual and living process ask us for the courage to face pain and to face things head on.

Moreover, the spirit, light and disruption calling out at this time of humanity’s planetary shift, would awaken us. We’re in process of ascending from 3D to fifth dimension. While exposing harmful and toxic systems, it would open our hearts to the essence of existence.

An awesome, transcending love is overflowing with sympathy and loving kindness for all. Happy celebrations and joyful Easter!
