When we replace Gods love

[zanna]

Why do we find ourselves thinking of something or someone else when we are with someone? Why do we have addictions? Why do we try to replace God love with something else?

Is it fear of real love? Do we feel unworthy? Why do we imagine that we are in the arms of someone else? Why do we believe that we have feelings for someone else? Why do we believe that we love another?

It is Gods love that we yearn for, a unconditional love that we have not yet found...

aah Zanna, I understand where you are coming from, and I am sure there are many others on this site who do to.

Remember just because we are "in love" with someone doesn't mean we cannot feel love for others. As long as it does not harm or interfere with our current relationships. We can share love for our friends our children and our family. Its perfectly natural to have loving feelings for those we befriend and respect.

I wrote a post once called "is it love, or is it projection" this was about how instant infatuations can spring up from meeting someone who is our ideal opposite. Or as its called our Animus Animus for a women, Anima for a man, or is it the other way round..lol Anyway, basically, it talks about how we have a mental blue print about our Ideal Man, or Women. The physical and the emotional. If we meet someone who ticks all those boxes plus is of a similar temperament to us and then add on that they maybe walk a similar spiritual path, then WOW..u have this massive chemistry. Eventually, as long as we keep our heads, things calm down, and we may just find we have found a dear friend. Physical attraction can often just be a huge distraction. We can lose ourselves in the physical sensations of it and the kind of madness that comes along with "falling in love" or "falling in lust". What it is doing is helping us to cope with the problems in our lives. Instead of facing up to our problems we distract ourselves with this wonderful illusion.

What you need to remember is, that a lot of it is projection. We do not really know these people, as they do not know us. Especially if it happens suddenly and very soon after meeting that person. If we are single, it hurts no one maybe ourselves when it burns itself out. But if we are in relationships or married, it can be dangerous. The best thing to do, is to talk about it, also maybe talk about it with your partner. What are you getting from this addiction, that you are not getting from your life. Maybe you will be surprised by the response you get. You may find that you are not the only one who is disatisfied..!!! This could be the catalyst that makes you talk, or make you hear the warning bells that there is stuff to work on in your own relationship. This is just my own experience, so i am not saying this is yours, but its something to think about..

Love and light
Karen

Lots of love

Thank you Kaz... God Bless you, Im ok just feeling a bit lost I guess. Maybe I should learn to read a map!xxxxx

[angelight]

Maybe we can take map reading classes together Krissy! Lol xx

Meaningful words Krissy, when the heart and mind disagree, you have troubles, one should allways make descisions with the heart and mind in unison. If both agree you should follow what they say to you, as it is not good for anyone to go against what is in their heart, your mind will tell you this.

I agree with Leon, about when the Mind and Heart are in unison then you should go with it. We need to follow the path that is right for our own wellbeing and peace of mind...

But often life is not straight forward, nothing is clear cut. I often wrestle between two choices. The choices that I have been presented with at the moment are to do with my work.

I have been asked to do a presentation on Crystal healing and a demonstration. Its for a group that works with those in the community for some time. Its to help build there self confidence again, and teach them new skills. There are several other sister groups in the county, and they too have been invited to this presentation. Gulp..daunting, but so exciting at the same time. If they like it, the co ordinater has the money to put on 8 of these sessions, which he will actually pay me to do..lol I was so shocked and surprised, totally out of the blue, I know we must have discussed that fact I do Crystal healing at some stage, but that was ages ago, if not years. But he obviously had not forgotten. So I think, YES.. I am meant to go this way after all, after feeling so much doubt about where my path is taking me.

Then I find out, that I may be offered a really good position within the Advice centre where I work. But I have often struggled with it this year. I want to do more healing, and follow a more holistic lifestyle. To slow down, as I do feel a bit of burn out (understatement of the century) is probably responsible for my mental state at the moment. They do say when their is inner conflict, it will come it eventually, in mental and physical fatigue. But the job is so rewarding and satisfying. I get to do all the things I love , i.e. talk to people, help people with practical problems, and satisfy my own desire to learn and work on my own self development. Why, oh why does this happen every time. Two choices, two opportunities, both satisfying, but I cannot do both properly, so I will have to choose.

What do you guys think??? Sorry, I have gone off on a tangent, its funny isn't it, how one train of thought leads over to another.

I believe we never replace God's love, its always there, we love him unconditionally. We just get distracted. Sometimes, we see gods love reflected in others and we are irresistible drawn to them. Its called SPIRITUAL LOVE and its something I am coming to terms with. I have met people in recent times, who I have immense spiritual love for, and I make no apologies for it. Its simply a part of my spiritual growth. They are part of my journey, I am part of them, they are part of me. We have a symbiotic relationship with them. We are all interlinked each and everyone of us, connected by this invisible silver umbilical chord. I think its brilliant, its what stops me from ever feeling totally alone. What do you think???

Lots of love
Karen
