Universal love
is an expression of the harmony of everything. You are part of everything. Each person you know, and each person you meet. We are all spiritual beings in
human form with love, energy, and knowledge that is universal.
You may have
heard the saying that “When a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the
world, it can cause a hurricane in another part of the world.” Universal Love
is that connectedness. It is a boundless and gentle love, a feeling that is
experienced in the presence of generosity and sweetness. When you experience
Universal Love, you feel the action of love. An action is loving when it has
all aspects of the Divine, compassion when compassion is needed, or yielding
when yielding is needed. It is gentleness whenever possible or firmness
whenever required. There is no conflict within this state of loving.
Love universally, not just your family or your friends, but all that is, all that
has been, and all that will be. Love yourself first. Understand yourself and
the things you do and love it all. Love cannot be given, felt, or shared unless
there is compassion and unconditional acceptance of love for yourself. Accept
all the love that others give, but do not expect it. Give love freely to
everyone around you, the animals, plants, and the Earth itself. Strive to
interpret the many differences of people from a perspective of love. From a
place of love, you will gain understanding, kindness, respect, happiness, and
an overall sense of gratitude and generosity. We are truly all connected in
this circle of life and what you give, most certainly does return.
