"Love
is like oxygen, You get too much you get too high ... Not enough and
you're gonna die ..." -
from the song,
"Love Is Like Oxygen" by Sweet
In metaphysics we know that
Love Is God and God Is Love; Love is the Creative Principle of Life in
all Its forms. In the Science of Mind, Dr. Ernest Holmes writes,
"Love points the Way and Law makes the Way possible."
Love Is the Presence of God within us and it is the very Life of us.
Every
Good idea is motivated by Love.
Love Is an impulse of the Self-Giving-ness of the Infinite expressing
through us and as us. Love Is always seeking to express
Itself creatively. Behind the great painting is the Love of the
artist; behind the fields of grain is the Love of the farmer; behind the
birth of a child is the Love of the Creator. Everything that
expresses Good in the Universe is energized into Life by the Power of
Love. Love must be expressed ... for expression is Its nature.
Love
is a Spiritual Principle.
Like the oxygen we breathe in and exhale, Love must be given in order to
be received. Think of what would happen if we would breathe in
oxygen but refuse to exhale. In a short time we would be
Life-less. The same Principle is the nature of Love. If we
are only willing to accept Love but not give It ... we will soon find
ourselves lacking in Love ... and it will show up in our lives as
depression, anxiety, frustration and oftentimes bitterness. The
same applies when we are willing to give ... but refuse to receive.
Love points the Way ... but It must be aligned with Law in order to
benefit us ... and the Law is Giving and Receiving .. and cannot be
stymied in Its flow. In other words, we must be willing to give
Good in order to receive Good. We cannot accept what we are
unwilling to give ... this would cause Universal Law to be unbalanced.
When we breathe in we are accepting Life ... when we exhale we are
giving it back to the Universe ... this natural order of the Law is
perfect and precise.
Many of us have experienced difficulties
in Life because we have been unaware of the nature of Love. We
have foolishly thought that our moments of unwillingness to share Love
or to be Loving, has no effect on our Life ... but this can never be so
... as I stated above the Law is perfect and precise. Whatever we
give ... the Universe returns to us multiplied abundantly ... what we
withhold ... the Universe will do Its perfect work in withholding that
from us multiplied abundantly ... the Universe stays in Balance.
The Law is Universal ... and as stated in scripture, "is no
respecter of persons."
As we
understand that All Is Consciousness ... and All Is Love ... we realize
that as we embody in consciousness the Nature of Love ... Love will
point the Way ... and our Consciousness will bring us the perfect
demonstration of the measure of Love that we are willing to give ... and
like oxygen It will energize our Life through Love!
And
So It Is!
Letting
Love Use Me In Its Own Good Way,
Henry
