..."It is said that to truly understand Love, one must first understand what Love is not. Far too many of us see Love as a possession, but love can not exist when there is jealousy, greed and envy. Far too many of us see Love as pleasure, yet to expect something in return is not Love. Many see Love as memories of experiences, but Love cannot exist in the past or the future, for love is not a memory. Then what is Love? Love can only exist when the self is not, that is to say when there is nothing expected in return from another, that is truly Unconditional Love. But most proclaim Love for another, then demand conditions, thus why most relationships and marriages end in failure. Can You really Love someone, to the point that nothing they do bothers You? If not, then look deeply within, and You will SEE that there really does not exist Love in the heart, only the ideal, which is not Love. Let go of the fears, let go of the attachments, let go of the thoughts which cloud and distort the mind, then within the silence of a non-judging mind, Truth and Love can Arise from within the heart." ~Alistar Valadez...
