When we were born, we were programmed perfectly. We had a natural
tendency to
focus on love. Our imaginations were
creative and flourishing, and we knew how to use them. We were connected to a world much richer than the one we connect to now, a world full of enchantment and a sense of the miraculous.
So what happened? Why is it that we reached a
certain age, looked around, and the enchantment was gone?
Because we were taught to
focus elsewhere; We were taught to think unnaturally；We were taught a way of looking at the world that contradicts who we are；We were taught that things like grades, being good enough, money, and doing things the right way, are more important than love.
Love is what we were born with；Fear is what we learned here. The
spiritual journey is the
relinquishment, or unlearning of fear and the
acceptance of love back into our hearts. Love is the
essential fact. It is our
ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be
consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.
Meaning doesn't lie in things. Meaning lies in us. When we
attach value to things that aren't love -- the money, the car, the house, the
prestige -- we love things that can't love us back. We are searching for meaning in the meaningless.
This is
Faith from Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax. Love is the
intuitive knowledge of our hearts. It's a "world beyond" that we all secretly long for. An ancient
memory of this love haunts all of us all the time, and beckons us to return.
