Love's Powerhouse

The tectonic shift he undergoes upon encountering his life partner is a leap in consciousness, a dramatic shift in awareness. The world, including his view of it and his interaction with it, changes exponentially.

Love ignites that change. Love is the quantum force that instantly delivers us to our higher plane. We are more because of our Love and we are changed on a grand, grand scale. Love is like that, it expands us in all directions. Ourself emanates in all directions.

We often recognize Love as the wind behind us filling our sails, but she is also the force that pulls us through equatorial calms. Like an invisible tractor beam anchored in the future, Love pulls us forward.

Love is no mere Muse. It may sound fantastic, but many now recognize the importance of seeing our future in order to create it. I don’t just mean the basketball player who visualizes the basketball falling through the hoop before he shoots, or the golfer who watches in his mind’s eye the ball rolling into the cup before his putt. I’m talking about people who imagine life goals, actively work, and rehearse achieving their life’s goals over and over in their minds in order to make them real. James Allen talks about transmutation of thought energy into physical objects. Nietzsche might call this The Will to Power. Everything in our world began as a thought. Those who succeed, succeed because they manage their thoughts. It isn’t education or brainpower that separates successful people (among them, Thomas Edison Andrew Carnegie, and Henry Ford enjoyed only several years of schooling combined.) What separates the successful is the ability to focus and train their thoughts.

What’s this got to do with Love? Strengthened in Love, we can better focus and better train our thoughts. Love is the most powerful synergistic force humans can muster. In Love we so connect with another that the connection results in another life. I don’t mean biological progeny; I’m talking about the spiritual offspring created by our union, Ourself. Ourself is beyond you and beyond me. Ourself magnifies our abilities—including our ability to become. Love creates a powerhouse in the Ourself. On a spiritual level it is a nuclear power plant. We can focus, we can achieve, we can become so much more because of Love.

Did you Ever Notice?

Did you ever notice that height disappears when you’re in Love? My father was nearly six foot six and my mom five-four. Yet they’re both giants. My tiny baby sister, not much taller than mom, is married to another giant of a man, a giant in heart and height. My mom and sister aren’t the only two who married tall. Most of us know, or have seen other couples with height disparities.

This got me to thinking that there mustn’t be any height dimensions in Ourself. After all, when lovers hold hands, they hold hands at hand height. When lovers eat dinner, the tables are always at table height, (or the picnic basket is on the lawn). When lovers’ fingertips meet softly one after another, they meet at fingertip height. When lovers’ eyes meet and their eye-speak begins, they meet at eye-speak height. When lovers’ lips meet, they meet at lip height, and when lovers’ hips meet, well, they meet at hip height.

Snuggle’s appear at snuggle height too. Smiles—well, they sort of float out there on their own plane, don’t they?—but whatever geometric plane they float on, they’re all at smile height.

So, I’m wondering, is Ourself without dimension, or are dimensions merely irrelevant in Ourself space? When an astronaut is floating around outside the space station and north and south are meaningless, is there an up and a down? If so, which way’s which? Einstein taught us that because everything’s relative, there can be no direction without a point of reference. Since Ourself is a complete unit within itself, we are the points of reference for our Love; there can be no outside point of reference for our Love. We are its architects and builders. That’s why our whispers and ears, smiles and tears, joys and fears, and lips and hips are all on a perfect plane in Ourself.

Let There Be Light

In the beginning a young Love’s passion is a bonfire. We heap upon it twig, limb, and log, and it roars to life.

Because of its intensity, we enjoy the heat, light, and crescendo a step or two back, a step or two removed lest we ourselves be consumed in the conflagration.

As time passes and the fire matures, we draw closer. It settles down and we settle in around it. It warms us up close. We cook meals around it and tell stories. We stir the embers with sticks, mesmerized by the gentle flames licking and dancing their way across the logs.

The dancers retire and now the glow of the embers quiets our thoughts and stills our souls. We breathe it in.

The glow of the fire is now within us as well as without.

How Do You Know When You've Found Your Life Partner?

A friend asked me how a man knows when he’s found his life partner. He knows because there’s a tectonic shift in his psyche and his world is changed forever.

Albert Einstein taught us that everything is energy. Energy doesn’t stand still, everything vibrates. Everyone vibrates at his or her own frequency. Frequencies change, but at any moment we each vibrate and emanate a frequency. Just as one tuning fork will set another in motion, our energy fields interact with other human energy fields.

We attract like energies and seek to harmonize with them. The magic, the majesty of Love, is that as we begin to vibrate another’s tuning fork, to harmonize another to our frequency, they in turn harmonize us to theirs and another Love song is born. That Love song zygote is the Ourself. Just as two tuning forks vibrating next to one another deepen and enrich the sound emitted, the song of the Ourself is deeper and richer than either solo.

It is the realization of the greater Ourself that makes us more. We vibrate stronger because we are stronger. Weaving the other person into our fabric and being woven into theirs creates a life that is beyond what either of the two lives could be. Better, stronger, more vibrant, and more alive. Love creates us by redefining us. We’re not lost in Love, we’re enhanced by Love. We’re enhanced by Love and we enhance another; the Ourself is greater than the two of us individually.

So, how will I know when I’ve found my life partner? Because she makes me more than I am. Because I breathe her in and I breathe her out; because she fills my lungs, my heart, and my soul with passion. Because the sight of her stirs me and the thought of her moves me. I’ll know because I won’t have to be in the same room, in the same place, in the same town she is in to feel her; the frequency of our Love will touch us no matter where we are or what we are doing. I’ll know it, she’ll know it, and Ourself will know it.
