LOVE AS THE DRUG OF CHOICE

The more we give (unconditional) love, the more there is to give. It replenishes itself. An addiction to a drug carries with it the fear of it running out or needing more and more in order to feel or obtain the sought-after results. Conditioned love carries the same futil and limited pay off.

Uncondtional love, not only replenishes itself and has no bottom to it, it is the only thing that makes sense to do.

Nothing is more satisfying than to totally and completely surrender to love. When you can give love when it is not well received or it falls upon folded arms; when the one you extend it to cannot reciprocate; when the objection of your affection is mean spirited or hurls conditions upon you before they can unfurl their fists; when it is toughest to even care to love them, but you do it unconditionally, then you have reached a state of being that can bring heaven to earth and you will find a satisfaction that equals no other. I might add that in practicing that, being determined to love unconditionally, and desiring nothing less than that will eventually open the flood gates of love to you that you never knew existed. You will draw to you those who will in turn love you with a pure love unequal to any humanistic efforts to do so that came before and you will love them with the same degree.

When you love purely without stain of conditions or fears and someone loves you in like kind, your souls dance in the fire of God. Where there were two, there is only one. It makes no difference what combination of relationship we are talking about - two people in love, a parent and child, a brother and sister, two friends - the result is the same. And whom God has joined together, no man, no thing can put asunder. Talk about a match made in heaven! When people are not joined in the fire of God, there is not a real union to be torn apart. It never existed in the first place but the opportunity to make it so is always a possibility. Thank you God!

Opening up to this way of being shows me that there never has been a separation between myself and others because I have experienced the One when I dropped all of the conditions I placed upon myself and others. We create our own walls. They aren't real but because they seem real, we keep people out and imprison ourselves within.

Nothing tastes or feels as good as the freedom of real (unconditional) love. It's my drug of choice.
