Hopi Indians, who have called for rain for 4,000 years, have an expression that says, "When the heart is pure, it rains."
I have already mentioned that we will not be loving more to suffer with the one who suffers and to cry with the one who cries. We will love more when we feel that we are doing something for those who suffer. We will also be loving when we accept that the conflictive situations that cause us suffering have a reason for being even though we cannot understand it, and that they are presented to us precisely so that we transcend them, balance ourselves and can get out of that wheel of unbalancing energy and enter into that of fullness and love, contributing, with our contribution, so that this healing energy and creator of all good, which is Love, flows properly through us and can be expanded outwards.
We often confuse Love with passion, these being, however, two antagonistic words. Love means giving without expecting a reward of any kind; be generous and tolerant, including in these two adjectives, all other synonyms that we can think of. On the contrary, passion, which is a consequence of the fear and insecurity overlapped within us, carries a double intention as a result of an intimate need to be loved.
What I mean when I speak of Energy of Love, is the Source of Divine Energy, creator of life, that moves the world. Learning to recognize this Energy in us is essential in order to treat and heal us through it. And although conceptualizing it is impossible, I would define it as an indescribable sensation of pleasant fullness.
Energy of Love
Here is a method to learn how to identify it:
We put ourselves in a mental and physical state of tranquility, we make some conscious breaths, we ask several times that our mouth is filled with saliva and we wait to notice our salty mouth.
When we believe we have reached a considerable state of peace, we will evoke a scene in our life in which we have had a feeling of infinite well-being, regardless of whether we do not know how to define it in words. It will be like perceiving that the “infinite elements”, for an instant, are placed in their right place so that perfection can be established, being oneself merged into that lavish “Everything”. We may have felt him looking at the sea, holding a puppy in his arms, listening to music, smelling a flower, seeing a mother breastfeed her child, looking into someone's eyes ... We surely find some memory like that in our memory. Well, it is about collecting that perception and prolonging it in our minds as long as possible, the more the better. We have to do this as many times as we think necessary until that sensation is so engraved in our minds that we can manage to bring it to the present at any time and situation in which we propose.
When the true meaning of the word Love is unknown, it is logically impossible for us to use its beneficial power. Because how could I love myself or another person properly if I interpret that loving is protecting oneself against the infinity of external causes that I perceive as aggressions? How can I send myself that powerful energy flow if I have not learned to recognize that Energy? And how will I know how to love my neighbor if I believe that loving is waiting for others to act as I want, hope or need? So to know, understand and be able to share that kind of Love, we must first know how to identify the impression that energy produces. Only when you know that what you are feeling, at a certain moment, is the best you can feel, you want “that” to be what you want to contribute to creating for yourself, for others and for the whole.
This kind of Love is a pure transmuting force of suffering, and we verify this as soon as we begin to use it to transform harmful emotions, since we will be able to rise to a higher energy level than that of conflict.
True Love produces an indescribable sensation of serene freedom and well-being, in which there is no room for guilt and yes to deserve to live in excellence, fused with everything created.
But as a consequence of an erroneous educational process, we fall into the mistake of confusing the concept and interpreting that loving is "needing" someone, "I love him so much that if I lacked I would die" is frequently heard. But that is not Love, but a symptom that the pressure of our emotions keeps us trapped and hooked on situations and people as if they were our lifeline.
However, when we settle into the consciousness of receiving, channeling without obstruction and projecting out - later on we will learn to do it - the Creative Energy of the Universe and enriching it with our best intention, we feel complete, living in an energetic and harmonic exchange with everyone and everything around us, which will have become part of us, although not belonging to us.
True Love produces an indescribable sensation of serene freedom and well-being, in which there is no room for guilt and yes to deserve to live in excellence, fused with everything created.
The Love we are talking about is an Energy that can never harm us. The belief that one suffers for Love is a misrepresentation. When we believe that we suffer for this cause we are deluding ourselves. We suffer because we ignore the true meaning of Love.
Here we will learn that "Love" is also an Energy that is always entering through the top of our head, and when we become aware of it and exercise the way to give it the proper direction at all times, this inexhaustible Energy will flow through us continuously without blockages, making any possible negativity transmute with its flow and our intention. In order for this Energy to cleanse us of negative emotions, which are the source of our suffering, we will have to direct it, precisely, towards the people we dislike most - or when there is conflict with those closest to us - although the resistances, as we will see in the Corresponding chapter, press us tenaciously to try to prevent us from this realization and we cannot understand how it can do us so much good to do something that produces such rejection. But we will see that in the chapters on resistance and technique.
When we settle into the firm consciousness of the Energy of Love, it floods our existence in such a way that the pleasant feeling of constantly loving everything and everyone will become daily. The loneliness, the sadness, the guilt, the fear, the segregation are over ... because if we are consciously immersed in the torrent of Energy creating "All", we will be co-creating with the creation itself; and when you are collaborating in the facilitation of that flow instead of blocking it, you cannot, logically, receive anything other than the same: Love.
We all harbor inside us, without knowing it, a victimizer; which is why we reject so much the “bad guy” who is as worthy of being loved as the victim. When by making treatments with the Energy of Love, we manage to love any human being equally, we enter a space where the feeling towards anyone who suffers will be compassion and not partisanship. There are no good and bad. In each of us there is a very powerful field of emotional energy that dominates the linear mind and that drags us without being able to prevent it. All destructive behavior is the product of uncontrollable fear. And we all know enough about this, because it is impossible for all of us to control fear. People deserve to know that no matter what they have or have not done; in any case it is always worthy of Love.
Fear is always behind our worst instincts and not only in specific situations, but maintained, even to our regret. A clear example could be racism, which is a feeling of fear of the possibility of being invaded or socially damaged. Fear that turns into anger to be able to release the anguish that this idea can cause us. And it is a very logical feeling, a primary self-defense, a natural protection mechanism; Well, in the face of fear, the logical answer would be flight, but when we cannot flee, then we will have to attack and our valuable mind prepares us for it, even though we consciously say: no.
When we contemplate from the outside those attitudes, on the other hand, “so human” of aggressiveness, we only look at the suffering of the victims who appear clearly before us; but, nevertheless, we ignore the suffering of “the other victim”, the one who acts driven by her uncontrollable and hidden emotion. Those internal prosecutions do us much more harm than we imagine. Because when taking part for "the victim" we fall into hatred towards the victimizer, and that hate contains an emotion of the same nature as that felt by the latter, and in this way we submerge ourselves, unconsciously, in that energy and not in the of love.
By working with the Energy of Love these dualities stop occurring and we will move on a plane where we will be part of a Whole where we will sympathize with both the victim and her aggressor because they are both human beings who are suffering.
The adversities that come before us in life are intended to guide us in discovering our capacity to love. Fatalities are not a punishment, but an opportunity to make us discover the Truth. We experience all of those things for our growth to take place.
We cannot change others, nor the contradictory events that happen to us, our loved ones, or the rest of the people and even the planet, but we can transform what they make us feel. Life with all its moments of joy and sadness, of hope and fear, is just an opportunity to know Love; and after that, always live in Him. Because where there is Love, there is the authentic human being and there is God.
We see the word love reflected everywhere, but nobody has taught us its authentic meaning and what we can do to live immersed in it. We are invited to be generous, compassionate, dedicated, etc. And it is true that all of this is essential, but how can I love something or someone that due to internal conditions that I cannot control, I strongly reject? With this method we find the answer. And it will be the true answer, because it will be ours. What we obtain with this method is personal and non-transferable, we cannot even explain it because it only answers our own questions and each one has his own.
It is indisputable that there is a kind of Energy - which we are calling Love here - that is continually impacting us, otherwise we could not stay alive. Each one of us is, even if we are not aware of it, mobilizing that Energy with everything he does: thoughts, food, attitudes...
Any of the actions that we carry out daily affects our energy body and that has repercussions in the environment.
It is curious that human beings easily accept the illusory world of our thoughts as truth, and yet we create so many obstacles when admitting the true truths. And we tend to complicate simplicity because we want to understand everything. We are not content with intuiting what is Truth, we also feel compelled to give an explanation. But since Truth comes from a mind far superior to ours, it exceeds our capacity for understanding and, by not understanding it, we corner it. This has the danger of making us fall into the stagnation of the search and this is essential for the human being to continue investigating and progressing, and to get out of the rigidity that forces him to accept as truth only what can be scientifically proven.
We have a lot of progress ahead of us until we can demonstrate the Truth. We still cannot explain or understand many of the things that we must accept as truths and this is the case of the subtle energies. We must admit them because they are there and each one of us can verify it, and although it still cannot be demonstrated how exactly they work, we can use them - and we must demonstrate it, each of us, ourselves, to be able to believe in it - to continue evolving now. that this is precisely the reason for our existence, both individually and collectively.
If reading this book you intuit that the method that I present contains some truth that can contribute to your personal evolution, please take hold of it and do not allow it to escape you; Practice it again and again and you will see how they alleviate until all your sufferings disappear. In this way you will be able to enter a new way of conceiving life, where fear gives way to freedom; anger to calm; sadness to simple pain, (never to suffering) and serenity becomes the usual state. In this situation, the disease dissipates, the life span is prolonged and the possibilities for creativity and fulfillment become endless. Well, any ailment is the consequence of an energy imbalance that is exerting its influence on the biochemistry of the body.
Dr. Escudero says:
«Love produces, like any positive thought, a positive harmonic biological response that makes us tune into all the good we need. Love, in the human being, is a biological necessity, the best preventive medicine that exists.»
