Many times, we hear others proclaim “Ah, I am deeply in love!” This statement is often expressed with such infectious joy of excitement, warmth, and perhaps ecstasy. Being in love and feeling loved is one of the core states all humans instinctively strive to achieve. Love, is not only our programming. LOVE, IS the essence of our being.

Let’s pause for a moment and take a look at the statement of being “in love.” From the conventional standpoint, being “in love” means being in love with another person, being in union with another soul who lovingly and tenderly cares for us, and of whom we also care about very much. What a wonderful and joyful human experience it is to be in love with another human being!

However, is another person or an external resource always required for us to be “in love”? Contrary to common beliefs, the answer is no. The truth is… We Are LOVE. We are the expressions and the essence of love, the creative force, and the gentle support that always surrounds us and protects us.

If we accept the concept that We Are LOVE, then being in love is simply a state where we connect to our higher self that resides inside each one of us, instead of coming from an external source. Yes, a few people and some beautiful souls will come or have come into our lives to share the precious human experience of being in love. However, they are simply the “agents” or channels that awaken the truth about love inside each one of us. These wonderful souls, we sometime refer to them as our soul mates, come into our lives to teach us about the truth of who we are… We Are LOVE. The love within them resonates with the love deeply within our heart. The harmonious vibrations of two energies then come together sharing the incredible human experience of being “in love.”

It is important for us to remember that LOVE is within each one us. The beautiful resonance we feel with another person is simply the expressions of what’s already part of us. Love, does not come from an external source. Love, is part of who we are. With this model of love, there is never a need to struggle for control, to feel insecure or alone, or to experience the unnecessary overwhelming pain from physical separation.

We Are LOVE. We are the expressions and the essence of love, the creative force, and the gentle support that always surrounds us and protects us. As we realize that love resides in the deepest part of our being, we will never fear pain or loneliness. As we celebrate the love we share with others and the love we hold for our own being… just remember that… we are Always… In Love!
