Love is My Guru
by Matt Kahn

During a recent meditation, I was taught about love in a very simple yet profound way. My angels were teaching me how the concepts or words change from the inner self versus the outer world, but when we understand how the two languages translate, we are able to find the connection between both realities.

They showed me how the inner workings of the soul are comprised of pure light, and that pure light may only be understood in the outer material world as an experience of love. They said, "In your inner world, there is only light and that light takes on a form in order to be seen through human eyes in the outer world. The form is what is seen and often that visual form takes the priority over remembering the pure light that fills the form."

This means through the expanding of our awareness, we can go beyond the physical form of what we see and whatever meaning our past experience has projected onto it, to discover the open space of eternal presence the rests within each person, place, or object.

Carrying that as a spiritual practice throughout my day, I suddenly began to see everyone and everything as various forms of infinite creation – existing however they choose to be; doing the best they possibly can with whatever consumes their focus in the present moment. The overwhelming rush of compassion surged throughout my body and I became more uplifted from this peaceful sense of love. It deeply permeated how I observed and spoke to these fellow souls with great humility and renewed appreciation.

From this experience, I also realized that we can betray love when we distrust it, focusing on the pursuit of collecting the things our minds deem necessary to possess before we can open to the feeling love already provides us. We are never asked to apologize to this love, because it can only greet us in joyful and unconditional acceptance.

We can thank this love, but it only receives our gratitude by offering us more of what we're now thankful to have in our lives. It seems the only way to truly honor this unconditional force called love is to accept it as the clearest mirror of our inner being. To realize love's only intention in our life is to exist as the purity of our true divine nature that we may express through the gift of emotional freedom.

On the most fundamental level of existence, our true divine nature invites us into this deeper knowing of love, speaking to us through a language of silence only our hearts understand.

Beyond the conditioned responses of our personality, evolving from the history our mind organizes and references, exists a spark of light that continues to love us into existence. It lives only to honor our every choice, as the magnificent work of art only love can find in us all.
