Wound of Love
Love does not fail for you when you are rejected or betrayed or apparently not loved. Love fails for you when you reject, betray, and do not love. … Therefore, the most direct way to know love in every moment is to BE Love in every moment.
The childish individual is always on the verge of feeling rejected and unloved, and he is bright and lively only when he is the primary object of love, attention and good fortune from without. But the mature individual is active AS love, under all conditions. Such a one always primarily grants love and attention, rather then seeking it or watching for whether or not he is being given love and attention.
The emotional-sexual ego Constantly Hunts for an other. The ego-“I” (or self-Contraction) Hunts (or Seeks) an other (Even all others and The Total Objective Cosmos) In Order To Be Gratified, Consoled, and Protected. The Compulsive Hunting (or Search) For an other is Generated By The Feelings Of Un-Happiness, Emptiness, and Seperateness That Possess and Characterize the self-Contracted being.
Once an other Is Found, the ego- “I” Clings to the other, At First pleasurably, and Then Aggressively. The ego-“I” Depends On the other For Happiness, and, Over Time, the ego-“I” Makes Greater and Greater Demands On the other For Fulfillment Of itself (In all of its desires). Often, In time, the other Becomes Depressed and Exhausted By This Demand (and Thus Leaves, or Dies). Just As Likely, the ego- “I” Discovers, over time, That the other Cannot or Will Not Satisfy The Absolute Demand For attention and Consolation. In That Case, the ego- “I” Feels Betrayed, and the ego-“I” Begins The Stategy Of Punishing, Rejecting, and Abandoning the other.
Every conditionally Manifested being Has (In Time) Often Been The Proposed Victim Of This Strategy Of Separate and Seperative Selves. Even More, Until The Heart Gives Way To Divine Love-Bliss, every conditionally living being Is The Original Genius and Grand Performer Of This Strategy Of Separate and Seperative selves. It Is The Strategy of Narcissus, and It Is The Dreadful Work Of all conditionally living beings who Are Not Awake To The Truth Beyond the ego-“I”.
For those who Are Committed To Love (and who Always Commune With The One Who Is Love), Even Rejection By others Is Received and Accepted As A Wound, Not An Insult. Even The Heart-Necessity To Love and To Be Loved Is A Wound. Even The Fullest Realization Of Love Is A Wound That Never Heals.
Those who Love Are Love, and others Inevitably Love them. Those who Only Seek For Love Are Not themselves Love, and So they Do Not Find It. (Even If they Are Loved, they Do Not Get The Knowledge Of It.) Only The Lover Is Lovable. Therefore, Every Heart Should Become As True Love Is
