What is the veil of forgetfulness and what is its purpose? Why are so many people seemingly separated from their higher selves? How can I dissolve the veil of forgetfulness?
Many people live their entire lives never knowing about the existence of the veil of forgetfulness. The veil of forgetfulness serves several purposes:
1. It allows us to forget any trauma from previous lives, such as traumatic memories from Atlantis or Lemuria
2. It allows us to find ourselves without initially realizing our connection to Source
3. It allows us to learn from the ego, as well as to dissolve the ego
Some people have the ability to remember their past lives while others learn about them through past life regression hypnotherapy. Both of these methods help to confirm the existence of the veil of forgetfulness.
Others may have Near Death Experiences (NDE’s) in which they temporarily reconnect with Prime Creator, only to come back to this 3rd dimensional reality with a glimpse of what we can expect when we cross over to the other side.
But you may ask, “Why am I not able to remember my connection to Source?” The clues are all around you through nature, animals, friends, family, etc… The divine love and appreciation we feel for these things are a microcosm of the love we feel when we return back to the Source. In a 3D world of duality, where fear is constantly imposed on us, it's sometimes difficult to remember the divine spark of light that we all have within us.
Part of your challenge in this incarnation is re-remembering who you are along with your intimate relationship with Prime Creator. While at times it might seem that you’re on this journey alone, the truth is, you are not alone! You have spirit guides and guardian angels that love you so very much and are always by your side! Ask them for help or assistance because that’s their job and they’re eager to please you! Of course, they’re not going to manifest a Porsche for you, but they will help guide you in non-materialistic ways that help to facilitate your spiritual journey. Your higher self serves as a guide and is not allowed to interfere with your free will, so it’s your choice to ask your higher self for help, or to choose otherwise.
Remember this: If you ever doubted the presence of your higher self, spirit guides or guardian angels, think about the times you used your intuition. Your intuition is usually one of these entities reminding you of something important.
The veil of forgetfulness helps to lock in place duality, from which you’ll learn many, many lessons. After all, that’s one of the reasons why you decided to incarnate here at this particular time so, in essence, it provides you opportunities for spiritual growth.
This is also why some people take longer to awaken than others. The veil of forgetfulness varies from person to person and as you raise your vibrations, the veil starts to lift. Those people who are muddled in fear and lower vibrations have a more dense veil of forgetfulness, which presents them ample opportunities to overcome obstacles for spiritual growth. It is within their own free will to decide to stay locked in fear or to begin their spiritual journeys.
An easy way to lift the veil of forgetfulness is through meditation and the clearing of your chakras. Meditation helps to free your mind from stress and fear. Clearing your chakras, along with meditation, helps to facilitate your connection to your higher self and helps to begin the re-remembering process.
We are starting to witness a new breed of humanity called indigo children, who are born with little or no veils of forgetfulness. Their connection to Source is direct and they have concrete memories of their past lives. This is symbolic of the growth that we, as the collective, have achieved in our spiritual journeys. In other words, many of us are at the end of the reincarnation process that involves entering into a 3rd dimensional reality and are ready for the next stage of our journeys. The indigos that are currently incarnating will help to usher in the Golden Age and they bring an infused energy that will help to transform the current system of politics, education and livelihood.
As your veil begins to lift, you’ll begin to notice a disdain for how things are done and will crave a new beginning… one that involves a collective compassion for humanity and our well-being. You’ll find that fear is easily dissolved and replaced with love as you are no longer buying into the old system of economic slavery. You eagerly sense real change in the air and no longer buy into the political rhetoric that keep us divided as people. Your views on religion may swing to the realization that YOU are your own God or Goddess and we are all equally divine!
The Law of One
THE VEIL IS PRESENT ONLY IN THE 3RD DENSITY
RA: “This is the only plane of forgetting. It is necessary for the 3rd density entity to forget so that the mechanisms of confusion or free will may operate upon the newly individuated consciousness complex.
The same conditions existed in time/space (the metaphysical realms) both before and after the veiling (or veil of forgetfulness); that is, the veiling process is a space/time phenomenon. Without the veil the mind was not caught in your illusory time.”
A Few Things to Remember
Ask your higher self for help in re-remembering who you are and your purpose for being here.
Meditate and clear your chakras.
Dissolve the ego.
Eliminate all fear.
Stop watching TV and reading anything published by the main stream media.
Help others in this transition.
A Word of Advice
Before my daughter was born, I received some amazing advice. I was told, “Don’t look forward to all of her milestones, such as the first time she walks, talks, etc… because you’ll miss everything in between.” The world is changing rapidly. Remember these days fondly and be appreciative for all of the opportunities you’ve had and all of the obstacles you’ve overcome! The light at the end of the tunnel grows brighter every day.

If you were to talk to someone about spirituality at the beginning of the millennium, then that person may have looked at you strangely, but as the spiritual movement grows at an exceedingly fast pace, more and more people are opening up to the fact that we are much more than what our five sense can perceive.
You are capable of so much more!
Chances are, you know someone who has at least one psychic or metaphysical ability.We all have these abilities that lie innately within our genetic code.For example, it’s easy for some people to see an aura but most people either do not know how to train themselves to use this ability or aren’t aware that this ability exists.
In this video, I’ll teach you how to see your aura:
“Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”
If you can talk candidly with a friend (or even an acquaintance) about spirituality or metaphysics, then most likely they’ll be able to relate something they’ve experienced along these lines.The problem is that some people are afraid to openly talk about these topics due to a fear of not being taken seriously, public ridicule or being laughed at.Fortunately, our perspective has changed drastically since the year 2000 as more people are seeking inner and outer truths.What they’re finding is that much of what we learned in school was either manipulated or partial truths and that we need to turn inwards for our own personal truths, which may vary from person to person.Like Gandhi stated, “Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.”
Empirical Data to Support the Hypothesis
According to the Journal for Conflict resolution, it only takes the square root of 1% of the human population (approximately 9,000 of the 7 billion people on this planet) to change reality, the future and current war scenarios.
During a group meditation experiment validated by the peer review journal, Social Indicators Research, it was determined that the rate of violent crime during an eight week period in 1993 dropped 23% in Washington, D.C.
This particular study was authored by John Hagelin who stated that these meditation techniques “create a state of deep relaxation and coherence in the individual and simultaneously appear to produce an effect that spreads into the environment, influencing people who are not practicing the techniques and who have no knowledge of the experiments themselves.”
Lighting the Candle
Now, it’s becoming easier and more socially acceptable to talk about spiritual issues in public without fear of ridicule.We are becoming the spiritual majority.In time, those who do not expand their consciousness will become the minority, but they won’t have to experience the ridicule of the beliefs that they hold onto because the majority will understand that it’s impossible to enlighten anyone.All we can do is light the candle for someone and hope the flame is maintained.
The Transition and the Awakening Process
As the vibrations of our galaxy increase and intensify, most people will unknowingly gravitate toward this vibration, so it will be a relatively easy transition. Some will hold onto this current paradigm because of the fear of either losing what they have attained or the fear of losing control of those who have been subservient to their commands.The key word is fear and the releasing of this energy.
Laying the Groundwork for the Golden Age
We’re beginning a new age of enlightenment and ultimately, the light will win. The dark cabal is holding onto their reign as long as possible, yet they don’t realize how their plans always seem to backfire.When a world leader commits crimes against humanity, it only expedites the awakening process.
Those who have begun their spiritual journeys can attest to the awakening that’s going on right now.They’re unafraid of talking to anyone about spirituality and can easily segue into a metaphysical conversation with most people.It’s at this point where the current majority realize that they’re not alone in their thoughts and they begin to question “reality”.Soon, they will become the spiritual majority.
This is why we incarnated here at this specific point in time and space.We’re laying the groundwork for future generations to be able to fully immense themselves into the Golden Age.The transition could happen overnight, but it will most likely occur within the next 50 years or so.
For the people who are 30 years old or younger, you will definitely see the results of what’s happening today.Your children’s children will ask, “What was it like to live on this planet during the transition into the Golden Age?”You’ll smile, fondly, and will remember how blessed you were to see how your obstacles became opportunities to spiritually grow into the person you have become.You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your children will never have to experience war, oppression and tyranny.
For those who are over 30, let it be known that your hard work and efforts are the cornerstones of this paradigm shift.You’ve helped to make this transition so much easier for the upcoming generations and you will be viewed as the renegades who dared to be different in a world of duality.You are the ones who will be seen as the “founding fathers” and “founding mothers’ of the Golden Age and your efforts will always be greatly appreciated for many, many generations!

“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”—Mother Teresa Have been on vacation on a 15 day cruise to Hawaii. Will be back around the 21st and will update my blogs...May you always be filled with peace, light and happiness!!!
Did you ever meet someone and felt as though you knew that person for a long time, even thought this was the first time you ever met?Did you ever have a connection with someone where you could finish their sentences or seemingly read their mind at will?Chances are, you’ve known these people many, many lifetimes and they are part of your soul group.
So what is a soul group?A soul group is a group of infinite beings of consciousness who help us learn life lessons.Many have been with us in previous incarnations and have spent the majority of time with us in the ethereal realms.While we’re on the “other side”, we make agreements with our soul groups to meet at some juncture in our Earth-bound lives (or any other place of incarnation, it doesn’t have to be Earth).
Before we are born
Before we are born, we choose the experiences that we desire to have in this incarnation and then make soul contracts with people who will help us along the way.We also choose which parents we will have and the type of lifestyle we will lead.You might be asking yourself, “Why did I choose THIS lifestyle?”Because you knew it would give you the best chance to learn so many life lessons and to grow spiritually.At birth, your personality, character, abilities, talents, strengths and weaknesses are already formed.Now, it’s just a matter of learning from your weaknesses and using your abilities to the utmost capacity.
In the near future, you will meet people at the most opportune times in your life, and not by coincidence.These people are part of your soul group who will help you with your life lessons.
As above, so below
Who you are has a lot to do with the day, date and time you incarnated here on Earth, due to the specific planetary alignments at the time of your birth.The alignment of specific planetary positions in the houses will tell you what specific type of destiny you have chosen for this incarnation.It can also tell you the origin of your lineage.For example, if a person has numerous planetary birth alignments within the 25 to 27 degree range, then it is likely that this person has a Pleiadian lineage.To find out your specific alignments, you can check out this free birth chart reading here.
You can have many soul groups that include literally millions of people!I had a star chart reading performed by Lavendar who revealed many interesting things about me.Here is a brief preview of what I learned about my birthday:
You’ve had many different experiences available to walk-in energies.
Sun Sign: 26 degrees Libra, 12th house When you were born, you were born a very fragile butterfly with hummingbird energy. You have great capacity for compassion and the 26 degrees shows the mark of starseed. You came in on the frequency of 26 Libra.
2nd House Cusp: On the 2nd house cusp, 26 Scorpio, 41, that is the mark of the Pleiades. You are sooo Pleiadian, you are so in tune with the 7 sisters, with the Pleiadian experiments on the planet.
Venus 27, Scorpio in the 2nd house: You are really attuned to 2012. When you were born, you said, “I’m not coming unless I can find my soul group and the people that I need to connect with because my assignment is 2012.” It’s not that 2012 is gonna be the end of the world, nothing like that. This is about you bridging the gap of understanding with people. You’ve had seven different walk-ins attached themselves to you who’ve propelled you upward and onward. You made an agreement before you left the ship and yes, your ship is “Star of Bethlehem”. It is Pleiadian in origin and you have been on ship, many, many times. When you were a child, you were taken and they tagged you. You kept saying to them, “Don’t forget me, don’t forget me” and they didn’t. You kept your promise, they kept theirs.
3rd House, Saturn at 12 Capricorn This gives you great crystal wisdom. You have the responsibility of knowing about the crystal powerpoints on the planet. It’s where your feet come down on the earth, it’s where you stand mightily with your energy and you say, “Never again Atlantis, never again Atlantis”. It’s a battle cry that’s in your soul. You have gone lifetimes to protect this and you’re not about to give up on it now. This is a deep seeded thing about Atlantis and you know it.
9th house cusp, 26 Gemini, 14 You are the galactic starseed battle crier of information. Thank goodness the internet came along when it did because now you can absolutely do something worthwhile and that is: have a website, a blog, a forum , connect with people like yourself .
You have 5 different soul groups that you have connected with at different times. You were in England, France, Italy, Atlantis and you were in the Native American culture. You have 5 different groups of these beings who are waiting for you to bring them the information they need. Why? They need to jump forward to their next place. A lot of them are asleep. A lot of them are awake. A lot of them are in the process of having their blood elevated and their DNA strands “upped”.
August 20th found you in a particular timing mechanism because they came, took you aboard ship and completely rewired you. They had to set up your boundaries for you because you just want to love and help everybody. You need boundaries, which will keep you safer, cleaner in spirit and will keep you on track to find your 5 different groups.
As you can see, your birthday and the planetary alignments at the time of your birth are much more than a coincidence.The date and time of your birth can reveal the destiny that you chose as well as the soul groups that will reunite with you.
Your Higher Self
Our higher selves also play an interactive role in the arrangement and meeting between two or more souls.Consider the fact that your higher self is multidimensional and can communicate with other higher selves at any given time.
Don’t I Know You?
Did you ever look at someone and even though you never officially met them, you felt as if you’ve known this person?Chances are, this person is part of your soul group as well.The feeling that you’re experiencing is the remembrance of this relationship which is locked into your cellular memory.This is the point where both higher selves are in bliss and that feeling is relayed between these two people as familiarity or in simpler terms, “Do I know you from somewhere?”
The Wheel of Karma
Have you found yourself being attracted to a specific type of personality?While most of the time, this is a wonderful relationship, but some of the lessons we need to learn in this incarnation involve karma.
For example, if you are in an abusive relationship, then it’s quite possible that YOU were the abuser in a previous lifetime and you made a soul contract with your spouse to come back as the opposite sex, not only to experience what the other person was feeling, but to resolve the karmic debt.The easiest way to resolve this debt is to FORGIVE, but be sure to understand the lesson that was presented before you.
Multidimensional Relationships
As a multidimensional being on the other side, you made thousands upon thousands of contracts to meet specific people at specific times in your life.In the third dimensional reality, it’s difficult to comprehend the numerous amounts of contracts that we’ve made but when you’re multidimensional, it’s quite easy to do.
Some of these relationships will never manifest in this incarnation due to free will.
Twin Flames
Other relationships may involve seeking your twine flame, who may or may not be here in this incarnation.A twin flame is literally the other half of your soul that makes you whole, yet at the same time, each twin flame is a complete soul.They form a complete balance of the male and female energies.Your previous relationships were also soul contracts to help you prepare to be with your twin flame.When you meet your twin flame, you’ll know it immediately.
Some twin flames aren’t here in this incarnation.That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get married or have children because your twin flame (in the ethereal realms) wants you to experience everything that can bring you joy and happiness in this incarnation, as well as to learn as many life lessons to help your spiritual growth.He or she is still part of your soul group but decided not to join you in this incarnation.Don’t take it personally!They’re still with you in heart and in spirit.
It’s also important to remember that some twin flames remain on the other side to provide you with help and spiritual guidance.Some souls decided to come here without them because they “heard the call” and they knew they were needed here in this incarnation.Please keep in mind that not everyone from your soul group will incarnate at the same time!
Thanks for being YOU!
Many of us decided to come here at this specific point in time to help with the great shift in consciousness and to be an active participant in the global spiritual awakening.Our star families are gathering here as well, as evidence by the numerous UFO sighting in recent years.Past life regression hypnotherapist, Dolores Cannon, states that the ET’s think this is the greatest show on earth!You CHOSE to be here right now.This is your destiny!
addendum from Trey Abernethy:
The group could be you, and one other person, or several people, who are all on your frequency. You sense each other's presence. They may be other aspects of your soul wanting to come together.
The Internet has been instrumental in bringing soul groups together, obvious case in point this site, but this feeling goes beyond the Internet.
It is a feeling in your soul, you sense these people, often living in areas not near your home. The people who share our journeys vary as we learn and move on.
If you feel that is time to meet them, and they too are in readiness, synchronicities will reunite you. You must feel this tugging in your soul.
If you sense these souls, just relax your mind and body... clear your thoughts, see yourself as a beacon of light, send out a message and they will hear you. They may come in to help with healing and clearing, or for something beyond. You will recognize each other and move forward, and you never know who may show up.

In
meditative mode I went back into the past. I saw myself realising for the first
time that our earth is a sentient being, with feelings of love and fear like my
own. I buried my head in my hands, for her pain was my pain – the holes bored
into her skin, the poison poured into her veins, the toxic air she breathed, the
dangerous waste she was forced to process, the sores festering on her surface,
the destruction caused by blasts in her innards, the excavation of her
treasures, the rupturing of her organs.
Then
I saw a vision for our earth; I was walking on her green ferns, her lush
undergrowth, and the cells on the soles of my feet were singing a song which
vibrated the ground beneath. Each step was a prayer, a gift given and received,
a duet between the surfaces which met and the breath which mingled. My hand
embraced a branch to become one: cells greeted one another, exchanging and
transforming as a result of the encounter.
My
face touched the face of the earth in mutual caress, each cell whispering love
and receiving love’s whispers. My breath met her breath – the wind – to sing
exquisite harmonies. Earth’s coloured petals delighted my senses, and I
delighted the earth with my light floating movements, every touch a kiss and a
blessing. I ran endlessly over grass which rose eagerly to meet me. The ground
was free to breathe through every pore, soaking up all light and gratitude and
admiration and adoration, inspiring her to produce abundance for herself and for
grateful givers who grant her peace, grace, quietness, rest and
repose.
May
we all be blessed with a divine relationship to our Mother Earth who serves and
supports us until her strength is spent, until her resources are exploited,
until her desire to ascend towards her Creator takes precedence over her
children. May her sacrifices and long wait be honoured.

THE
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
Following
the meditation directive to bring love and energy to the earth’s surface, I was
given to understand that this also meant BRINGING OURSELVES TO THE SURFACE and
OUT INTO THE OPEN, realising past limitations and future potential. This was
indicated by the following scene.
I
saw myself as a small person walking down a very long dark and cramped
underground tunnel with a hammer and a lantern in my hands. I knocked on the
walls with the hammer at regular intervals to orientate myself and to see
whether the walls sounded solid or hollow. I also looked for a pointer – a
possible way out. All the time, something was spuring me on in my search – an
imprint of a circle of light on my retina, as if I had looked at something very
bright for too long. The image remained with me, though I had no definite memory
of the orignal.
Eventually
I reached the end of the tunnel and climbed up to the surface of the earth. I
was greeted by huge people with transparent skin. The light of day nearly
blinded me. The people treated me graciously, and I was struck by their wisdom
and grace. It was only then that I realised my own awkward movements and stunted
growth. When I was able to look into the sky, I saw the sun and realised that
this was the origin of the image on my retina which had inspired me to keep
going for so long during my period of darkness. The longer I spent above ground,
the more I grew and lost my former features, interacting with the large people,
and in the end I was one of them, having undergone complete transformation,
having grown in mind and body.
Together
we pulled a sort of transparent skin just above the surface of the planet, and
another layer was positioned below so that the crust lay isolated in a sort of
buffer zone where it was simultaneously protected and contained, meaning that
this buffer belt assisted equalisation processes, spreading and dispersing large
waves of energy so that they did not get stuck in just one place. Pressure in
the form of lava from the core was also distributed more evenly, and pressure
from spaceships pushing down on the buffer zone helped to contain and diffuse
heavy movements of the crust. Our earth was very nervous, but happy to receive
this assistance.

BLOWING THE GOLDEN WIND OF CHANGE
Groups of people in long, old-fashioned cloaks and dresses were
walking calmly together in pairs or in families in a park. However, although
everything was tranquil on the surface, appearances were deceiving. I was one of
those strolling ladies, outwardly composed and inwardly agitated. I wanted to
know more clearly how to help the earth in her transformation – how to bring
energy to her surface and just below, as directed. Just walking around, trying
to energise the soil through my feet, did not seem to be
working.
In the course of walking, I came upon a large pond where flying fish
kept popping up for air. I thought that some action could be taken by the fish,
and I asked them to send energy to the earth vie water in the oceans, but the
fish did not really understand what I was talking about. They swam around rather
hopelessly and helplessly, not able to go beyond the boundaries of the pond, and
they were astonished that anyone should ask them to do so.
It was then that I realised that I MYSELF had to take a stand and
become more active. Still wearing my long robes, I stood with my arms stretched
up to the sky, and celestial beings took hold of my hands and drew me up towards
a cloud-like mass. There I lay on my stomach together with many others, blowing
the golden wind of change through my mouth. It landed on the vegetation below
like a golden shroud. It was so fine that it was able to penetrate the soil and
descend a short distance. All the land was covered in this
way.
When the fish saw the golden shroud lying around their pond, they
realised that this was part of what I had asked them to do previously. Their
mental recognition and their desire to assist was so powerful that the ground
split, suddenly creating a new river which led from the pond to the sea. The
fish then swam to the oceans to spread their own version of the golden shroud –
a plethora of golden bubbles emitting from their mouths.
These scenes brought me to understand that it is necessary to GO INTO
ACTION, CREATING AN INSPIRING PRECEDENT as opposed to urging others to do
something they cannot understand. Through our own example and leadership, others
will automatically follow.

Ancient Stargate Artifacts and Maya 2012 Correlation
Featuring David Icke and Nassim Harramein. Newly uncovered Mayan glyphs in Calakmul, Mexico have revealed some amazing extraterrestrial imagery as well as information on stargates and an apparent incoming comet which appears to be diverted by a UFO. Find out what it’s all about here!
Nassim Haramein (born November 20, 1962) is a Swiss-born scientist known for developing a unified field theory based on the origin of spin/angular momentum defined as a "spacetime torque" which is integral to his "Holofractographic Universe". This unification theory, developed with physicist Elizabeth Rauscher Ph.D., is known as the Haramein-Rauscher metric and is a new solution to Einstein’s Field Equations that incorporates torque and Coriolis effects interacting with a polarized geometric structured vacuum. Further, he and Dr. Rauscher have developed a Scaling Law for Organized Matter, which characterizes all matter from subatomic to galactic and universal size as various size black holes.
Haramein has spent most of his life researching the fundamental geometry of hyperspace, studying a variety of fields from theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology and chemistry to anthropology and archaeology. As a result of his early athletic interest in the ski and climbing industry, he combined this knowledge with a keen observation of the behavior of nature, and discovered a specific geometric array that he found to be fundamental to creation, and the foundation for his Unified Field Theory emerged.
Laying down the foundation of what could be a fundamental change in our current understandings of physics with applications to consciousness studies, this theory has now been delivered to the scientific community through peer-reviewed papers and presentations at international physics conferences.
In 2003 Haramein founded a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, The Resonance Project Foundation, where, as the Director of Research, he continues with his colleagues to explore unification principles and their implications in our world today. The Resonance Project has an active scientific research park which incorporates science, sustainability, green technology, permaculture, and educational outreach.
In February, 2008 he hosted the Uni-Phi International Consortium, a multidisciplinary consortium of international leading edge scientists dedicated to collaboration and study of unification theory. He has also published a four-DVD set called "Crossing the Event Horizon: Rise to the Equation" which is a compilation of his research presented to the public for the technical and layman alike.
Mayan Secrets to Be Revealed by Mexican Government in '2012'
The Mexican government is releasing state-held secrets about the end of the Mayan calendar to the makers of a documentary, "Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond," TheWrap has learned.
The information -- protected for 80 years -- is expected to reveal Mayan beliefs in future catastrophes and wisdom characterized as "shocking," producer Raul Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia, told TheWrap.

All you need is Love! By Bernhard Guenther
That’s what John Lennon was singing and it is true, all we need is love. But do we really know what love is? Love is a word that is sung about in songs, written in poems, talked about a lot and it is something many people long for one way or the other, mostly in form of a partner. We hear it a lot these days: “Be heart-centered” and “Be love”, “Love is the answer, because love always wins!”, “Send Love and Light!” and so on. People post it on Facebook as their Religion: Love, and use it casually in conversation in their every day lives. It is seen as the solution to all the world problems. All you need is Love!
If that’s so easy, how come nothing has changed fundamentally on planet earth despite the obvious technological progress? It’s 2011 and we still see genocide, oppression and wars happening. Hundreds of thousands of children and civilians have died in the Middle East and around the world because of the war machine under the control of psychopathic leaders who couldn’t care less about anyone who holds up the peace sign with a proclamation of love as the force for change.
Looking at it more closely we can see that “Love” is one of the most abused and misunderstood words. We mistake things like gratification, sentimentality, obligation, duty, passion, desire, and other superficial emotions, ideas and conditioned concepts as “Love” in order fill something that is lacking within us. These distortions are also used (unconsciously) as buffers to avoid facing reality as it is by looking at the world with rose-colored glasses on, instead of seeing oneself and the world more objectively beyond appearances.
“For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.”
- Niccolo Machiavelli
There is personal love between humans, motherly love, love of family and community, love for oneself, love for something greater than the self, love for god and even love for man-made ideologies and concepts such as for a nation and country, etc.
So what is love? How can we describe or define such a powerful force? Words are very limiting and can only point to it, but are not it. Maybe we can start by examining what love is not.
When it comes to interpersonal relationships we often see control games, jealousy, and envy which is obviously not love, but expressions and behaviors based on fear and need. Love is related to emotions and feeling, but they can be merely based on chemical reactions in the brain that result in a “high”, where people feed off each other which is also be the basis for psychic vampirism. Many relationships are based on this feeding mechanism, which has nothing to do with love, but is a parasitic need resulting in co-dependance. Sexual attraction is also mistaken for love at times. Many people get into relationships for the wrong reasons, be it to escape their loneliness, to fill a hole in their lives or feed off another person. For the most part this happens unconsciously and so people tend to lie to themselves about love and their relationships in many ways, not seeing the other person as he/she is and not even seeing themselves clearly as they are.
“People convince themselves of their own lies, becoming victims of their own inventions as they begin to direct their lives by standards of behavior, ideas, feelings, or instincts which do not correspond to their inner reality. What is truly serious in this matter is that the individual loses all points of reference regarding what comprises truth, and what comprises lies. He becomes used to considering as true only that which is convenient for his personal interests; everything that is in opposition to his self-esteem or in conflict with already established prejudices, he considers false.”

To truly love another person we need to see the other as he/she is without trying to change that person. That is the basis for unconditional love, but for that to happen we also need to know ourselves and see us as we truly are, so we don’t fall into the trap of illusory projections which only result in disappointment and hurt once the romantic phase is over. It’s about acceptance and consideration, being able to give and receive, to be externally considerate and not expect anything.
But beyond personal relationships, the idea of love has also been distorted and used superficially as slogans, especially in the so-called New Age and “Love and Light” movement. It is equated with being positive, open, friendly, not saying or focusing on anything “bad” or “negative”, to be always cheerful and have a smile on ones face. Of course there is nothing wrong with kindness and friendliness as well as being positive, but it must be based on truth and reality, not lies, self-calming rationalizations or avoidance, including political correctness which only leads to complacency and ignorance. As I wrote in The Positivity of Objectivity and the Time of Transition:
Something that I hear a lot these days as well is the need to be more “”heart-centered”, loving and compassionate. I agree, obviously we all need to connect more to our heart, show empathy and compassion, especially extending it the whole world, beyond our close friends and family. But what does that really mean? Many people seem to associate love with emotions and feelings or “niceness”, but is it not more than that, like a higher state of consciousness/being? We seem to mistake many things for “love” and even judge the intellect as “bad” (mistaking it for the monkey/predator mind), hence many suggest that we should “think” with our heart and do what we “feel” like doing, which mostly results in mere self-deception and lack of critical thinking. It’s about aligning the heart with the intellect, intuition with logic, mysticism with science.
I’ve come across many individuals who seem to force themselves into this artificial and superficial state of “love” through contrived affirmations and “feel good” spirituality, ignoring anything that may be a threat to their “positive” life view. However, the body (physically and energetically) doesn’t lie and in some of the people I worked on in my massage & bodywork practice I encountered suppression and armor that is manifested by denying the shadow part of themselves and the world as they ignore objective reality. On the surface they don’t even think that anything is “wrong” with them. It’s very much a blissful ignorant state, trying to stay “high” on artificial emotional projections, avoiding anything that may give them a “downer” and living in a subjective tunnel vision with blinders on. I can see this kind of attitude in many self-proclaimed “aware” and “conscious” people who follow shallow New Age teachings and pop psychology resulting in self-calming but lacking deeper healing, growth and essentially real love.
“The Shadow describes the part of the psyche that an individual would rather not acknowledge. It contains the denied parts of the self. Since the self contains these aspects, they surface in one way or another. Bringing Shadow material into consciousness drains its dark power, and can even recover valuable resources from it. The greatest power, however, comes from having accepted your shadow parts and integrated them as components of your Self. Everyone carries a Shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
- Carl G. Jung
“When you distance yourself from the source of suffering, when you name it as opposite to what you want to be (I assume that you all want to be good, don’t you?), you lose a chance to change it. Because it continues to live inside you, as part of you, making you make many of your choices, but you refuse to recognize it, so you remain in ignorant bliss and you continue to suffer.”
- Olga Kharitidi, “The Master of Lucid Dreams”
Love is not merely an emotional state, but a state of consciousness. Just like there are different levels of consciousness, there are also different levels of love one can access on the spectrum of consciousness based on ones level of being and awareness. There is carnal love based on the sexual center and animal part in man which is the biological drive to procreate, ensuring that organic life on earth continues. This drive is mechanical tied to the General Law and somnambulistic state sapiens is under.
“As a cell of humanity, man forms part of organic life on Earth. This life in its ensemble represents a very sensitive organ of our planet, playing an important role in the economy of the solar system. As a cell of this organ, man finds himself under the influence of the General Law, which keeps him in his place. In fact, this law leaves him a certain margin or tolerance. It allows him some free movement within the limits it sets. Within these boundaries, which are very limited objectively although subjectively they appear vast, man can give free rein to his fantasies and his ambitions.
Without going too far into the definition of these limits and detailed description of the components of this General Law, we can say as an example that one of those factors is hunger: the servitude of working to assure our subsistence. The chain: sexual instinct; procreation; and the care of parents for their children, is another factor. The esoteric maxim that applies to this aspect of life is conceived thus: carnal love is necessary for the general good.”
- Boris Mouravieff
Then there is courtly love based on the higher centers, which is a higher state of being that can only be accessed through sincere self-work, not giving in to mechanical and chemical driven behaviors and choices. It means to see the world, oneself and others more objectively. From an esoteric perspective it’s about evolving towards this objective love. In other words, the more we are objective with ourselves and the world, raising awareness and see things as they are, the higher the degree of love we can access. It is based on knowledge, being and understanding, not merely emotional states and “happy thoughts”.
“Subjective love is attached to one’s own idea of the other or to what can be gained or obtained from the other. People call the most various desires love. These can have to do with social status, addiction to power over or domination of another, sexual interest and so forth. The emotion fluctuates between satisfaction of getting and fear of losing and is generally centered on the self. Subjective love seeks to somehow forcibly appropriate another into one’s extended self. One example of this is showing off what a clever or good-looking partner or child one has in order to somehow increase oneself. Any games of domination or co-dependence which often involve the term love fall in this category.
The relationship between love and attachment is subtle. The subjective perspective hardly makes any difference between love, desire to possess, need and attachment. Still, love completely without wish to be or interact with the beloved or some emotional bond or attachment to the person seems a contradiction in terms. We should not take the notion of ‘if you love someone set them free’ to the extreme of seeing all as potentially interchangeable objects of love. This misses the possibilities of specificity and reciprocity inherent in the concept.
Love often gets confused with need. If love in the objective love sense is to be a giving interaction, in order to love one must be willing to and have something appropriate to give. The idea of need reverses this concept and makes the love of the other into love of self. There is much pop psychology hype about the concept of loving self before loving another. This ties in with the idea of giving versus needing but the notion of self-love gives this a self-serving twist.
It is better to say that one needs to be in order to love. Being and self-love as intended in the above paragraph are entirely different. Being here means internal consistency. One cannot love if one I loves, the other obsesses over jealousy, a third sees this as foolish and a fourth does not even know of the whole thing. Besides, to love anything except one’s illusion, one needs to know the beloved. The capacity of knowing is again predicated on being. Love often implies specific dedication or commitment. Again, these mean little if one is without internal consistency of being. Thus work on the self is needed for better to love.“
However, by doing the work towards objective love one shouldn’t ignore or suppress anything that doesn’t live up to the ideal of higher love beyond the self. Everyone is on a different level of being with different lessons to learn and integrate. It seems to happen very often in spiritual and esoteric circles that people claim attributes to themselves and inflate their being above the actual state of where they are and what they need to learn and confront in order to grow and evolve. Objective love is not a detached unemotional state of existence. It simply means to act from one’s true self beyond conditioning, programming and projections with a “clean” emotional center, not one that is shut down.
Our emotions are the gateway to love, but they are not love. It’s about opening up to vulnerability and not suppressing negative emotions such as anger, sadness, jealousy, grief, but work through them which leads to compassion and empathy, not only for oneself or close friends and family but for the world and humanity at large. This also means to experience and feel emotions so we can let them go without suppressing them or projecting them on someone else. There are many ways to do this. Art, music, journaling as well as breathwork, bodywork and other healing modalities can help in the process of transmuting the shadow into light through emotional cleansing. It’s a delicate and deep process that doesn’t happen over night. In that sense relationships are also lessons in love and not an end it itself. We also tend to attract people who can show us valuable lessons as they serve as mirrors and expose parts of ourselves we wouldn’t be able to see as we all have subjective blind spots.
“According to the Great Work, a friend is one in which you support and encourage the others expansion in either the mind or the spirit.Otherwise they are people you are sentimentally attached to it because they would eat cinnamon bun with you. And they will say ‘hee, hee, hee’ aren’t we having fun”. Drug addicts do the same thing. Drug addicts want to be around people who will support them and be away from real friends. Do you know why? Because it feels good. To be a member of a mystery school can be catastrophic to the ego and to the ego’s habits and to the propensity for mediocrity. No one ever cried striving for excellence. They only cried when their mediocrity was taken away from them and pointed out to them.”
- Jerhoam
The more lessons are learned, the more knowledge gained, understood and applied, the more we purify our emotions, the more one’s being and awareness raises as the higher centers are activated and the more we can “see the unseen”. This is a process that is different for each depending on many factors.
There is also the topic of “Organic Portals”, a type of human who has no access to the higher states of love because the inner wiring is missing so to speak. That doesn’t mean that they are automatically “bad” people. They simply have a different experience of love based on their level of being. As mentioned in the article about Organic Portals, we all are on the level of the Organic Portal until one makes the effort and engages in the work to activate the higher centers. Different levels of being and consciousness is not a value judgment based on better or worse, but just shows the different states we live in as not everyone is the same.
Psychopaths on the other hand (about 6% of humanity) have no capability to experience anything close to love, compassion and empathy by birth. It’s not a psychological disposition but a genetic one. That is another topic which is very misunderstood and ignored, especially since most psychopaths can appear as “normal” through their “mask of sanity“. They are not necessarily criminals in prisons, but can be CEO’s, politicians, spiritual leaders, a husband, wife, child or the neighbor next door. To assume that we are all the same and that everyone has access to this higher love (or any form of love) is self-deceiving at best and we see those kind of assumptions in the oversimplified idea of “we are all one!”. You cannot BE what you’re not, nor can you give what you don’t have.
If one looks into accounts of Near-Death experiences (NDE) and what people have “seen” or realized, there is a common theme: This profound experience of “objective” Love, which is not related to the Love as the human personality experiences it and cannot even be expressed in words. It can only be described as what it is not. They can’t truly explain what they experienced or what love is but only what it isn’t. It is for example, as one person who had a NDE said, “not a sentimental, get a tear, ‘feel someone’s pain’ feeling, not an emotion. It is beyond sentiment or feeling someone else in this form, but relates more to an all expansive, knowing and understanding.”
“The problem is not the term “love”, the problem is the interpretation of the term. Those on third density have a tendency to confuse the issue horribly. After all, they confuse many things as love. When the actual definition of love as you know it is not correct either. It is not necessarily a feeling that one has that can also be interpreted as an emotion, but rather, as we have told you before, the essence of light which is knowledge is love, and this has been corrupted when it is said that love leads to illumination. Love is Light is Knowledge. Love makes no sense when common definitions are used as they are in your environment. To love you must know. And to know is to have light. And to have light is to love. And to have knowledge is to love.”
- from the Cassiopaean sessions
Ultimately there is no love where there is no truth and knowledge. Love entails to see the world as it is not as we like, want it or assume it to be, hence true love is essentially linked to how much one can access objective reality. In order for love to be the agent of change towards a better world and to bring about positive change we also need to acknowledge the darker side of life and the world we live in, the things and issues many people look away from, believing that by simply focusing on the “good” and “positive” there will be a shift in consciousness. That kind of thinking is the blind spot in many New Age teachings these days, which actually results in the opposite of what is intended for the unacknowledged shadow grows bigger and stronger, manifesting itself unconsciously through our collective. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
“An Ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contradiction of what is. An ideal prevents direct action upon what is. To have peace, we will have to love, we will have to begin not to live an ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them.”
- J. Krishnamurti
The many ideas of just focusing on love (and how people interpret that) or sending love to the world leaders and humanity or even to the planet are not acts of real love, but merely emotional projections which are self-deceiving and put man more into sleep, believing he’s actually doing something and bringing about positive change. True love respects free will and one cannot give or send love to someone who didn’t ask for it.
I have to wonder when people talk about world peace and love but still vote for Obama and believe the lies we’re being told by our governments, be it about 9/11, the war on terror or anything else that has been clearly used for social control. One can have as many positive/loving/nice thoughts and emotional highs as one like, if one still believes in lies, follows teachings based on lies, there will be no raise in consciousness nor access to a higher love that can actually be a true agent of healing and awareness. The contrary, believing in lies feeds entropy, no matter how well-meaning the intent.
Love is beyond words and no change is going to happen if people simply repeat that “love is the answer” or “all you need is love” while still clinging to illusions and not engaging in sincere self-work. Without a deep understanding and knowledge of what love truly is and entails we just keep going in circles as history is repeating itself. If we really want a shift in consciousness then we need to take a look into the mirror and also do the work to see the world as it is without ignoring things that may not look that “pretty”. There is still much we have to confront before we can enter a new world based on love, peace and truth.
“To search means, first, I need Being, Truth; second, I do not know where to find it; and third, an action takes place that is not based on fantasies of certainty— while at the same time a waiting takes place that is rooted not in wishful thinking but in a deep sense of urgency.”
“Love is not a behavior, an attitude, a mannerism. It is not etiquette. It is not convention. Love may express itself in many different ways—softly or forcibly. Love can appear meek. Love can appear strong. Love can challenge you. Love can criticize you. Love can expose your illusions, your fantasies and your self-deception. Love is not what people really mean when they talk about love, in nearly all circumstances…. Real love emanates from Knowledge. It in essence is the expression of Knowledge.
It is this greater love that is so far beyond and distinct from the love you hear about in conversation. People say, “I love this. I love him. I love her. I love this food. I love this place. I love your dress. I love nature. I love the woods. I love the ocean.” Real love is something beyond all this. The real love that moves you to give your life, that refocuses your life, that tells you that you are in error, that confronts you with the fact that your life has been misspent and you are trying to take it in a direction that is not its true direction, this is love!
The love that keeps orienting you towards your greater purpose for coming into the world regardless of your plans and goals, the love that does not change, the love that does not adapt to your wishes, this is the love.
Knowledge will take you somewhere you could not take yourself. Knowledge will take you beyond your fears and your preferences because all preferences are based on fear—the fear of not having, the fear of being wrong, the fear of losing, the fear of death.
What is love? Love is the movement of Knowledge.
It is only when you realize that getting more of what you want will not make a difference that you will turn to Knowledge. It is only when your plans for personal fulfillment are shown to be weak and fallible and unfulfilling that you will turn to Knowledge. Here profound disappointment is extremely important and holds a great opportunity for you. But extreme disappointment is what everyone wants to avoid, so they keep trying to plan and scheme and focus their life to get what they want. Their predicament is only deepened. Knowledge is speaking to them all along, but they cannot hear. They are not open to that. They want what they want. They are driven by fear and preference. And so love is unknown to them.
There is a greater love. This love does not have only one appearance. It is not associated with a certain kind of behavior or etiquette. It is not a social convention. This love will pull you away from danger. This love will challenge your thinking and your attitudes. This love will show you that your life is going nowhere. This love will move you to go one way when you want to go another. This love will restrain you. This love will redirect you.
You take everything you are doing in life, and you ask yourself, “Fundamentally, is this what I really need to be doing?” Every relationship, “Is this relationship helping me? Is it important for me now?” Everything! And you will have a deeper sense of it coming from Knowledge, way deep inside of you. Perhaps it will be a feeling. Perhaps it will be an image. Perhaps the answer will come a week from now. You have to keep asking and listening. You are asking for the Great Love to redeem you, to reunite you, and to put you in a position where your greater gifts can be realized and given to the world.
Only Knowledge can take you there. Knowledge can bring two people from opposite ends of the world together for a greater purpose. That is the power of the Great Love. And the Great Love is what the world needs now.”
