Love/Separation

When we consider our feelings, especially, what we feel towards someone or something we love, we'll notice that at different times the depth of such love will change, so in its place, we may find resentment, confusion, and apathy. When we are at one with love, which is to say, when we choose to love our experience, we come closer to perceiving the objects of our life with greater truth and clarity. However, when by choice or circumstance we feel disconnected from love, and feel irritation or anger, we tend to perceive the people and things of our life with apathy or irritation or indifference.

When we return to love, through turning towards and holding space for what is to express itself, we become an image of our true self. The practices that restore us to sanity are those which bring us in connection with the current manifestation of love/separation in our body. The further we are from connection with ourselves, the more separation there is in our consciousness and experience.

So there is Love, the beingness of our true self in God, and a feeling on the spectrum of separation from God—unease, anxiety, overwhelm, anger, hopelessness, depression, apathy. Each of these feelings has variance. When there is both our True Self in God and a feeling of separation from God, there are at least two expressions of self, one absolute truth and one conditional truth. If we do not know our True Self or know how to reconnect to the source of this truth in God, then we may only know and experience ourselves from the separate self, and so only perceive reality from this separate self.
