let go

    

(“the kiss” 1908 & “mother and child” 1905, Gustav Klimt)

 

“the more we care, the more we lost …  i better give up ……” – said the frustrated harry potter. 

i was watching the harry potter, the “order of phoenix”, tonight and i was touched by these lines.

isn’t this too true for us all, especially in the era of love and relationships?  the more we care, the more we love, the more we are hurt and frustrated.

we always ask ourselves, why they don’t appreciate what we have done?  why they don’t understand us?  why they treat us so bad?

 if this is all out of love, why we are hurt and frustrated?

“you will be surprised to know that the English word love comes from a Sanskrit word lobha, lobha means greed.  it may have been jsut a coincidence that the English word love grew out of a Sankrit word  that means greed, but my feeling is that this cannot be just coincidence.  There must be something more mysterious behind it, there must be some alchemical reason behind it.  in fact, greed digested love.  it is greed, lobha, digested well, which becomes love.

love is sharing; greed is hoarding.  greed only wants and never gives, and love knows only giving and never asks for anything in return;  it is unconditional sharing.  there may be some alchemical reason that lobha has  become love in English language.  Lobha becomes  love as far as inner alchemy is concerned.” – <love, freedon, aloneness>, osho, 2001.

do we notice that it is out of greed that we think / claim that we care and love someone.  for this greed, it means desire and expectation.  do we ever notice that when we love and care someone, the deep down reason is to fulfill our desires and expectations? 

i love you (and i wish you love me in return …)
i love you (and i wish you obey me in return …)
i love you (and i wish you are loyal to me in return …)
do i truely love you … ?

when desires and expectations are not met, that becomes the source of our frustraction and disappointment. 

to love someone, to care someone, and we also have to learn how to let go, to let go of our desires and greed.

if we love someone, then love them the way they are;
if we love someone, then love them and don’t ask them to change;
if we love someone, then love them with freedom and give them space;
if we love someone, then love them and don’t ask for return.

we let go, and we hope that our beloved ones would let go too. 

love, with “greed digested well“, would become the unconditional love.  it is when we could let go our greed and desires, the distilled true love is with us.

Angel Cards

Emerging Angel

‘Your true self – radiant, powerful, successful, and intelligent – is now shining through the surface.  Allow your true self to be visible to others, for you lift them up and inspire them. ’

 (you are awesome in so many ways, and you are begining to trust and reveal your true nature more easily. 

at one time, you may have believed that you had to hide your true feelings from others or from yourself.  now, however, you realise how vital and attractive expressing your authentic self is.

your angels are guiding you to honour your true feelings by expressing them to yourself and others.  the angels will help you lovingly talk about your feelings so that no misunderstandings occur with friends and loved ones.  your angels will never guide you to do or say anything that could hurt you or anyone else.  they will also ensure that your life will emerge to a new level of inner peace as you let your true self come out and play.)

“Angel Cards” is an oracle to help you focus on your energy level and your spiritual status.  Calling assistance from the universe and your guardian angels, you are about to reveal and return to your inner self, to pay attention to your present status and to recover and rebalance oneself.

Tonight, out of intuition, I took out my Angel Cards and drew out one card in random.  Then, my Emerge Angel spoke for me.   My Angel draws my attention to the new energy emerging within myself and reveals my ability to “lovingly” communicate my feelings with others without fear. 

This Angel is for me, as well as for all of you. 

Do believe in yourself, believe in your own powerfulness and radiance, always communicate your true feelings with yourself and others. 

Today, we all are blessed.  Thanks to our Guardian Angels, thanks to ourselves.
