LOVE ~ EGO

topic posted Tue, August 15, 2006 - 12:43 PM by  Maggi
Love and the ego are at odds with each other. The ego is self image, all the habits by which you identify yourself. It is sustained by repeated thoughts, familiar emotions and actions. Love is alive, limitless, constant at source, yet constantly changing all that it touches. To remain in the presence of love you have to let go to change, to growing and transforming in its influence. Once you have fallen in love, to sustain it, you have to get up again, learn to ride with it and soar the spiritual heights and plumb the emotional depths. Love will show you that you are not what you thought you were but much more than the mind can imagine. But to open to the greater truth of love means letting go of cherished illusions and habits.

    "YOU" and "LOVE" can nont exist together...that is what I have learned through OSHO...Ask your heart...it knows truth...it may not speak the same language as you but it knows the answer.


    When trying to understand what "LOVE" really is...it's important to realize it has nothing to do with "YOU" or how you identify with yourself...your ego...we all fear the loss of our identity our ego...that is why we can not know truly what love is...we can not know because we think love has something to do with "US" our identity...our individuality...our ego...until then...we can only feel love...but we will never know love.

    So since we live from the ego perspective and it is our choice in this life to do so we need only follow OSHO's "SIMPLE" (its not as hard as you make it)advice...

    "Love is a spiritual experience - nothing to do with sexes and nothing to do with bodies, but something to do with the inner most being. You don't know at all who you are, and you are trying to find out how to love better. First, be thyself; first, know thyself, and love will come as a reward. It is a reward from beyond. It showers on you like flowers...fills your being. And it goes on showering on you, and it brings with it tremendous longing to share." ~~OSHO
