You can’t choose love, you can only accept it! So looking in the same direction would be considered a condition and love doesn’t have that!

Actually real love is growth! So if suffering is there then it doesn’t mean it’s not love, it just means that we need to learn and love self. We cannot deny what we feel! Feelings are the love!

From my experience with my partner I would say there can be pain or ups n downs but that’s not suffering. It’s a different thing , it’s very short term. I see Suffering as more long term and confusion etc I feel at peace most of time and the hard times feel difficult in the moment but in the back of my mind I always know it will pass pretty quickly and we will only be stronger afterwards

But am i right when i guess he means that when one really loves someone, the one cannot be hurt by someone because that real love is stronger and cannot suffer. Although i guess it must be kind of a cosmic and entire love then, enlightet love, which means there's actually nothing that can hurt that loving one or make him suffer.

@Accidental Warrior my opinion in this specific case, would be that as me myself should be included in that love first.. Then because I love yourself.. I would go away or end that relation because not doing it would be highly unloving toward myself.. And you can not truly love another one anyway if you dont love yourself first.. If you allow another one to treat you poorly, or worse abuse of you, then you would be not loving yourself.. And not only you end the relation for yourself because its the most loving thing you can do for yourself it s too the best and most loving thing you can do for the other as well, because you tell this person with yhis action that that act or behaviour is not acceptable and not harnonious with the Inner being.. Which in all beings is love, compassion, goodness... That s our true nature.. So when gor whatever reasons or distorsions we act against that universal and personal as well nature... It s time to reverse that to the sane nature of ourselves.. Sorry for maybe a bit messy explanation... What I mean is that when you do what ia best for you or stop the harm and to comply with being harm.. Then you do this for the other person involved too.. On the other hand.. What you do to the other you do to yourself as well. Hope this is useful/helpful :))

Your own essence holds an intelligence within itself. The more you connect with this essence, the more able you are at choosing the right people to engage with. Your soul speaks, and if you learn to resonate more with your soul, then you'll be able to find those who you resonate with too. -Much love from a growing TRshowr

To my understanding romantic love is never unconditional, it might be a tool for emotional growth and a speed ticket to enlightenment (especially the difficult ones), but it’s no wonder that authentic spiritual leaders and monks are celibate. They experience oneness, and if you experience that, you don’t need another to make you complete. There is nothing wrong with relationships, if you’re into that. But because of the conditional nature of it it will always leave you ultimately unsatisfied and that generates suffering. Also almost always egos are operating the relationship. That takes away a lot of energy and a lot of time. You can ‘practice’ on every being (just like he mentioned parents), that’s also a good way to grow. I have yet to see a selfless, loving relationship without the involvement of egos and expectations. When it happens, must be really beautiful. But even that doesn’t last forever and attachment also causes suffering. So, to my view relationships are not designed to make us happy and fulfilled, but more to speed up our way to enlightenment, if we only listen to what it wants to teach us.

so wise, I just broke up recently with a man whom I felt an instant bond with at the beginning. He was also very into me and we both thought we could have a very aligned relationship in all aspects. It was strong mutual attraction but because of various practical issues we faced and doubts we both had due to clashing of our egos, he lost his passion and broke up with me. I was super disappointed as I thought we could figure it out together with time but he decided to give up. This pushed me back onto my spiritual journey, I started practising Zen and I am now going through an ego death. Sometimes when I am really Zen, I also wonder why I should date anyone as I feel so fulfilled inside already. I wonder how I can fall in love with one specific person, as I know all the personalities, looks, talents etc are just forms, it can fade away and change with time. I wonder how I can choose a partner without ego involved as everyone's essence is a piece from the Source energy, we are all equal. Of course there's also a twin flames belief, which can explain this kind of soulful love/divine partnership, but I am not sure if twin flames are really true. This video and your reply solved my doubts.

Basically everyone has a different capacity for giving/recieving love that's built into their form. Think of it like a light bulb: 50 watt vs. 100 watt. The unconditional love is the electrical current which we all have in common. The person that you should get into a relationship with, ideally, is someone who shares the same wattage as you, so that you will maintain compatibility while reaching your highest potential. Too often a 70 watt person who's only operating at half of their potential, gets with a 40 watt person operating at their full potential. At first, the 70 watt person will appreciate that person's energy, but as they start to reach their potential, they will outgrow that connection pretty quickly.
Aesha : ]
Aesha : ] 17 gün önce
@bloom both 40 and 70 watt people have unconditional love flowing through them, but i assume the op was trying to get at the fact that people naturally differ in their tendency to be oriented towards their partner and relationship or other matters in life? So two 40 watt people together would live more independent lifestyles perhaps, which doesn’t make their love less unconditional than two 70 watt people together (idk if I’m understanding it correctly lol)

so you're implying here that a 40 watt person can't reach the level of love capacity that a 70 watt person has? why wouldn't it be possible for the 40 watt person to expand their energy? Also, no one is operating at their full potential, in fact most people die without having ever reached their full potential because it's not set in stone. There's always more room one can reach for higher potential, maybe not for becoming a great competitive sportsman when one has never been sporty at all but when it comes to love, there's no limit. The limit is in the ego of the person, which can be overcome or lessened by anyone. Your theory sounds too fixed as if you're talking about robots when you say "capacity for giving/receiving love that's built into their form" built from who? god?you can't define and limit the vast spiritual potential within a human.

@copyninja the question was how TO chose a romantic partner. Not when or how to break up.

@Just One Truth the question was about finding a romantic partner if you truly loved everyone equally, so you’re still kinda avoiding the question. Unless you’re just saying you should have a laundry list of little things like music volume to check off and whoever gets the high score on the checklist is chosen as the partner. There’s nothing wrong with that approach but basically nobody does that. Humans aren’t that analytical.

And as you can't control their enlightenment, loving them unconditionally (especially when they are not enlightened) is the challenge and gift. Loving enlightened beings is easy! Loving those not is my "work." 😊 Then you don't need them to be a certain way (enlightened) to love them. That's true unconditional love. 💕

While married to a narcissist, I experienced enlightened awareness. Soon afterwards I felt I needed to leave the marriage & be on my own. Unfortunately for myself I stayed & the utopian peaceful experience lasted only several months. It's something I'll never forget. The details of the experience such as perfect alignment with synchronistic events that occurred very often daily. How quickly each day passed. How each person I was in conversation with, was at ease with me, & i could feel the relaxed air between us which was natural & beautiful, some of them I'd known for years. How information from within would be there instantly as I needed it & this is the supreme intelligence within us all that we're born with & how I naturally saw everyone as my equal & the love for everyone is a peaceful love. Pure acceptance & It's not that I needed to say anything to anyone about it, My energy was non threatening & peaceful & that is real Love. If someone had asked me that question that eckhart tried to answer. I would say that it comes naturally because when we're living by our true nature, everything is natural.

It’s never too late to leave. I’ve done it against all odds (children, financial entanglements and dependence, court threats and the most nasty things one can imagine); finally I breathe freely and it feels like having been reborn. I have a lot of time left to spend on meaningful things now that the relationship doesn’t drain all my life force. Hope you can leave and get back your life! Wishing you courage!

I understand that true love is a state of transcendence between two or more people and that true love is a reflection to the essence of yourself. The only thing I want to know is how can we tell when we've reached that transcendent point with our partner without it coming from psychological form? Also how do people get to the transcendent point in a relationship without prioritising ones needs/desires of a partner first i.e physical attraction, emotional and psychological compatibility, etc.. because we won't be consciously happy with ourselves if we are dating someone who we have no connection with on the form level. Where is the line between being with someone on a transcendent level and a form level

We are all capable of unconditional love. But somehow, within the family nucleus or in relationships, we become less capable of expressing or living in unconditional love. This is because somewhere, somehow, the idea of ownership arises. We start to feel entitled to the life of another. As if we own them or we own rights over their lives. We soon want to change the others in our own image. So that they can see life through our own eyes. We end up chaining others as well as chaining ourselves. The human need to control is what ultimately causes all of this. What we forget is that secretly we are looking for OURSELVES in others and when this does not happen or ceases to happen, we feel disappointed. NO ONE is ever going to fulfil more than one or two of your needs at any given time. And when those needs change (and they always do!) you are back to square one. The solution: work on your inner self-fulfillment so that you stop expecting it to come from anywhere outside of yourself.

As I get older unconditional love is letting go, being fully free on one another, I've not yet lived it in my old age as I've confused love with attachhnen of fear, fear of losing it, fear of not being enough and alone .. Not the relaxed, easy love flow where you are energised in their presence... For now I'm only experiencing on my own not in someone else...

The main driving force is unconditional love, but because we ARE in these specific vessels with this specific mind, we will feel attachment and attraction to those that we love unconditionally. Correct? Balance is the key to a healthy, lasting partnership with another transcended being. Both being aware of their "essence" (as you put it - enlightened), is necessary for there to be a true experience of unconditional love. . . right? Anyways, bless you. And thank you for what you do. I'm still on a journey to finding balance. But I know I will get to where I need to be. It is a matter of time.

@Criszar19 Pap that’s a beautiful explanation! I am friends with my other, and our relationship appears quite odd to my other friends who see partnership in romantic terms. I have no aspirations for that. I seek balance and we are quite comfortable in this state. It truly is higher love. Thank you!

Criszar19 Pap

Please take this not as a correction of your statement. By unconditional love Eckhart speaks about the essence/state of non-identification with the personality self, a state which resembles a state of grace and peace, Love and kindness/goodness/oneness towards all other forms, transcending the "obvious" limitations of their vessels and yours in a mutual flow of this essence. This state has nothing to do with the emotion of love towards others (parents, partners,, even our kids) as experienced and talked about commonly. The word is misleading. Thus the driving force of Life is this divine Love (see young children till seven years, pets etc as an example) and existence. but this is NOT the diving force, as you say, for your connecting with a partner. That driving force is normally , for all of us, the mind and its repetitive motives. Once one starts getting rid of the personality traits and starts entering the state of grace (aka unconditional love state) normally he/she will be physically attracted by equally "balanced" ,as you put it, human beings for which usually he/she will NOT feel the intense/attached love that we commonly know of. The state of unconditional love resembles to the outside viewer as a spiritual apathy towards the partner, in the sense that you can no more cling to him/her (nothing to do with polygamy), but just meaning that you cannot passionately make a love affair mean a lot to you. It certainly gives great periods of life with the other, allowing him/her to just be,, because you too have "understood" the masks and what it means to just be, therefore you would never demand any "changes" from the other. This inner state of grace and unconditional love makes you see whoever and whatever around you as part of you, an equally limited and "suffering-blissed" zero. Wish you all the best.

To me the concept of spirits, souls and (re)incarnations have become at first tricky to coincide with observing truth and as such obsolete. Despite being a very reassuring and tempting romantic approach to the reality of our existence, these concepts can also delude the tools we are given to observe the present moment and reality as such. First off, they require an amount of assumptions and therefor conditioning of the mind - which in any case limits the potential of freedom to observe reality with. The concept of a soul or spirit becomes dual because it needs a context a separation to derive it’s truth from. Also, the belief to have a separate soul requires a concept of ownership which is a concept that proliferates within a liberal individuated sense of being rather that an unified unlimited shared state of being. It basically triggers the mind to project separate entities onto a reality, as it would do when referring to ego. Yet another identity and therefor a limitation of how consciousness through love and energy freely can express itself in the present moment. The only relevant choice is one that can be trained and cultivated, it is the choice to learn to recognize the awakened perception of reality in the present moment - enlightenment becoming a dominant starting point, again and again. As this state, through training, becomes dominant over conditioning, patterns, willpower, identities etc. consciousness finds an access point to express itself free into reality. And local reality as such will change to the degree of outcome for the human living in this local reality. Life paths, though subtle, will expose more synchronicities, resonating moments, creatures, events etc. and more intricate connections will show up. A romantic connection can be such a result, and the only choice that underlies it, is the choice of two beings to recognize awakening inside and outside of themselves. All of this magic can work, and in my experience, works more freely and effectively by surpassing any assumptions of separation of reality. Nothing will be lost, only gained.

unconditional love doesen't mean you agree with everything, you do not have to like everything, we are ONE in diversity, unconditional love comes from the ONE we are, the more you are aligned with the One , the more unconditional love you have for all, so if someone does something that hurts you badly, you forgive instead of hate them because you know that the core of that person is the same as you, do mind that forgiving a person who did something "wrong" is not the same as accepting the wrong doing. Unconditional is what you/we are

Love is the total allowance of all that is. unconditional love means allowing all to be, so so love everything about any lifeforms, the beauty of the forms the essences ... all of it

I would add that it is perhaps easier to access the transcendent love with some people more than others. A romantic partner might be the person you find it easiest to be present with.

I'm in a weird situation with a man... I think I love him, but I don't know if this thing we have is actually healthy, or really just another trauma bond. I need prayers. Him and I both do, that whatever this is between us, will ultimately be for our own healing. And that we will co-create something that is loving and magical and beautiful and happy and wonderful and miraculous and healthy, together... Love and/or friendship to last lifetimes...

QUESTION: If let’s say we all love each other unconditionally, how can I decide to which to be my partner? Is this based on physical attraction? Isn’t this a contradiction with this higher state of consciousness? ANSWER: Ok, so if you love everybody unconditionally how can you possibly decide who is going to be your partner? That’s the question. Because it seems and there’s no preference anymore. Or if it’s physical attraction - isn’t there a contradiction, if you’re in a higher state of consciousness where you shouldn’t or not be physically attracted to anybody is that the implication there questioned? Well, the love we are talking about, the unconditional love towards human beings and life forms is a… See, what is it that you love in the other when you love unconditionally? You don’t love their physical form, you don’t love their psychological form, their personality. Their unconditional love goes deeper. It’s a transcendent love, that what you love is not the form, but the formless essence of the other. And you can only love that when you can sense within yourself that dimension of formless when you can be still and present enough and then look at another human being. Then you can recognize something. What you recognize is for lack of a better word the consciousness which is the essence of the other human as it is the essence of who you are - consciousness prior to the consciousness being born into some kind of form, personality which is there in the physical form, which is there. But in every being, there is still the dimension of consciousness that is prior to form. Although the human being has become form, consciousness assumed form has incarnated, so to speak, but that doesn’t mean that the formless and timeless consciousness is lost. It’s still there as the essence. And when you can sense it in yourself, you can sense it, because you are still in presence enough. From that dimension in yourself, you can sense it in the other and that is LOVE. It’s basically a recognition that in essence the other is the same as you. But then of course there is always that is the transcendent dimension to every human being. In addition to that transcendent dimension, there is a form-identity of every human being. Every human being has a physical form and emotional form and a mental form that’s a personality. So the physical appearance and a personality consisting of mental and emotional conditioning and so on. So, there are the two levels. The unconditional love towards all humans is the transcendent love. The love (the formless, [the recognized of formless]) as yourself and the other. But then you’re still here as a form too. And the form may respond to another form - the physical, that can be physical attraction. It is not incompatible with the transcendent realization although some ancient or not so ancient traditions may tell you that. It is not incompatible you can have physical attraction on the level of form. You can also have an attraction towards the mental-emotional form of that other human being because it resonates with something in your own form. So that means you may be drowned to the other human being physically or mentally, emotionally, because you resonate with that. And then perhaps you enter into a relationship. So there different levels operate - the transcendent remains. It can become obscure through excessive attachment of course to the mental-emotional dimension in the other. So in a relationship, the realization of essence identity (as I sometimes call it) can become obscured when form identity takes over completely, which could happen through the pain body. Which could happen through emotional (getting identified with arising emotions and losing touch with the transcendent). Yes, that can happen, but it’s not incompatible. Everybody’s challenge is to balance the two in their lives in their relationships to relate to the other on the transcendent level and at the same time if it is there on an emotional-mental-physical level. Without the transcendent dimension in the relationship, it’s not ultimately satisfying and it cannot really truly work for long if the transcendent is missing completely in the relationship. Its physical attraction and attraction between personalities is not enough to keep it going. Can be going for a while, but then it becomes frustrating and you see more and more of the limitations of the other person. And the other person sees more and more of your limitations. Which are always there and when you live together it becomes very obvious that the other person has his or her limitations. Now as long as the realization of the transcendent dimension is there and that fine, there’s also limitations can be exist within the space of the transcendent. They’re not destructive of the relationship. Now you may find it’s sometimes easier to have this unconditional love towards people that you don’t know so well than people easier than towards people that with whom you shell a lot of past. Because there the past the form identity of that person can be very powerfully there in your mind in your interaction. So that’s the challenge of being present with family members: parents, grownup children, and so on. And of course, as you know Ram Dass recommends if you think you’re enlightened as a test he recommends that you spend two weeks with your parents and that will tell you whether you’re really enlightened or not - going spend two weeks staying with your parents for two weeks. In most cases that is a good test, unless your parents are enlightened in which case there’s not much point in using it doesn’t tell you anything.

Every time I hear one of my associates/friends say, “I love you” when they’re on the phone or otherwise, I always ask them if they’ve ever told that person why/how that is true. The response is usually the same…they draw a blank. Or….he/she already knows….It’s implied. Well…no it’s not. Try it sometime and watch the response from your significant other or whomever.

embrace all the levels of attraction WHICH INCLUDES BIOLOGICAL DESIRE = which creates and encourages momentum to create new beings /children - my parents fell in love but then my mother got sick and went insane right after i was born -despite their shortened relationship i was created and born from their union - its not just about how a relationship can benefit us but also how the relationship can add to the continuation of life force here on earth /this dimension = bringing souls here to learn and be challenged for growth and soul experience - alot of times these questions are asked in hopes to control and maximize the benefit of relations but the chaos and conflicts of imperfect attractions are also sacred and again the “urges” and attractions serve their sacred role in bringing people together to combine genetic material in new ways that may not happen without that magical force of physical/biological attraction :)

If all is energy, and then you fall in love with the same energy reflecting back, either I accept the reflection of my energy or not? Sometimes ppl "play you back" mirror You to feed off your energy..and feed you with Your energy.. Usually at the beginning of a relationship. Once you've shared space and time.. Then the shadows start to emerge, your own and the counterpart. How well one live with one's own shadow..? That's what I got listening to this 🤗
