when you discover that you block yourself with judgments, and conclusions about yourself that are false, then love is. that is who you really are. then you give to yourself, which is giving to the other.

what we see in another we have first seen in ourselves, and given to them. in this way, the other is valuable for showing me myself.

that is a profound statement. people might think, 'what might that mean?' but you always are looking in before you look out. what you see in others is what you have looked at but denied in your self.

Avant -
Mirrors aren't needed to see one's self. Just look at your neighbor, your teacher, your accountant, your convict, your prostitute, your priest.

Good stuff, avant-garde. We spend so much time judging others, even when we don't think we are judging. So sad.

thank you, metta
and it makes sense that it would be something we never think about. that is why we feel so empty in them.

whoa
I just read this comment you made avant: the secret to experiencing love in relationships is paying attention to what We are being while in them. what most do is spend all their time and effort watching the other, and judging everything they say and do.
I had never looked at it exactly like that... very good observation, and thank you for that shift in vision that I just experienced.

the secret to experiencing love in relationships is paying attention to what We are being while in them. what most do is spend all their time and effort watching the other, and judging everything they say and do. that robs the relationship of its purpose. others exist so that we might have the opportunity of experiencing what already lies in us, but is waiting to be implemented. we use our minds and our bodies for this purpose. what we put into it is what we get out of it. the other, no matter if he is a beggar on the street, or the most advanced human spiritually, has nothing to do with that. yet, on the other hand, without the other, we would not have the opportunity. when we see it this way, then everyone and everything is of equal value. does this make sense

Thanks
This was a great article...i really feel like i need to empower myself.
I guess i lacked love in many fields of my life...i know you are right about it...the best way to love is to be giving without expecting anything in return...when we don't expect sth precise, we could hardly be diappointed. I guess that's the way God loves us. But am I capable of that kind of love?
