You are all the persons you meet

Let me tell you about an experiment I did today.

I was going for a 45 minute walk in the forest, around a water.

Now imagine: It is winter, the landscape is bathing in ice blue colors, tinted with sunbeams, which have forced their ways through a foggy layer on the sky. The water is frozen and people are skiing upon the frozen surface. Still, I am not the only one walking by foot around the water, as I will pass about 50 people on my way from start to finish.

I start to walk and my mind is set on worried thoughts circling and circling in my head, it´s nothing in particular - just habitual negative stinking-thinking. In less than a minute my thoughts are showing on my facial expression - a worried frown between my eyebrows and fearful eyes are sticking out from it´s shell. This fearful state of mind is soon reinforced by my surroundings. Everyone I pass wears just the same expression. I am walking on, feeling more and more isolated, as all I pass are just as cold as I am. I pass more people; children, men, women, teens and dogs of all kind - still, they all have the same expression; a negative mix of fear, reservedness, sadness, fake pride, anger and shame. Half way I am thinking "enough is enough!", and I am deciding to change my state of mind right away.

I make a decision to breathe, to feel, to smile, and to open up my heart to everyone I meet.

My state of mind changes immediately, and now I walk gracefully with a little smile on my face and a pounding heart in my chest. The next couple I meet are waking towards me smiling! I am thinking "maybe it´s a coincidence", so I walk on, still open minded and not jumping to conclusions. I keep my smile in my heart and I soak up the sun. I then pass two young teenage girls, and they were both smiling directly at me! This continued for the rest of my walk, I met only smiling eyes. I even crossed a smiling face in the snow!

I guess it´s just as clear to you, as it is to me. We are creators.

We are given free will to make our lives happy or sad, good or bad, rich or poor.

We are creators.

By mere heart

When someone hurts you

and you intuitively want to shrink in pain,

and your cells only desire are to shut down -

Then, right then -

open your heart the widest you can!

Use this hurtful situation as an emotional and spiritual stretching exercise -

like anahata yoga (heart chakra) for the brave ones!

Yes, you have asked for this pain -

to grow your heart,

to make it bloom in the darkness,

to make it shine through the three dimensional reality and into eternity.

You made it so, to reclaim your strong will to love, through it all.

So, when someone hurts you

and you intuitively want to shrink in pain,

and all your cells wants to shut down -

Then, right then -

open your heart the widest you can -

and let the pain just further in.

Definitions on love

Love is not about -

"What can I get out of this?".

Love is not about the basic realm of simply feeling good.

Love is not about safety.

Love is nothing about keeping.

Love is about - "How much can I assist in your souls growth?"

Water

Water says: 
If you love,

I love.

If you respect,

I respect.

If you trust,

I trust.

When you speak, I listen.

When you look, I see.

When you call, I come.

When you turn around,

I´ll go around.

When you smile, I smile too.

When you cry, I cry for you.

When you pray, I pray with you.

I am You -

looking at Me.

I am water,

your emotional reality.

I am the reflecting surface of the sea,

and just as the sea -

I am keeping all you contain -

in the depths of me.

I am what you see me to be -

I am water, your emotional reality.

You and I

You Are life.

I am life

with you in death.

You Are the sun

and the clouds

hiding the sun too.

I Am the sun

inside of the clouds,

and the rain washing us away, to new ocean shores.

I Am the air in your lungs,

the itching in your skin,

and the kiss on your lips, blessing you

- as you kiss another.

I Am yours,

and completely myself.

You Are yours,

belonged only to the nameless, I.

I Am you,

and I Am not you.

I Am whatever you want me to be -

and still I Am all of me.

I am no longer afraid to loose

myself.

I find myself in love with you.
