Dear Love ~ Post Divination Session

The following was written directly after a Divination session I had with "Sophia" She had some questions that she wanted more direct answers to...more direct than say, the answers that Tarot cards give...so she drew a wheel with the alphabet and a yes/no on it and we sat down for some pendulum work. I moved the wheel around and she closed her eyes so as not to in any way influence the letters that were chosen. As soon as we started I had a feeling that it might be Love that was with us but I said nothing. As we continued we started laughing pretty hard and cracking jokes and such, just being very silly. We joked that someone had spiked our tea with silly. When Sophia became curious about who we were speaking with she asked and I told her it was Love....she used the pendulum without looking anyway and low and behold it spelled out L. O. V. E. we both laughed so hard and when we finished I went right to my computer to chat. This was about a month ago while I was visiting Sophia  and our new found soul sister Aliah in London.

 

 

 

Well hello there, it was nice of you to drop by and assist us. You added quite a cheerful air to the proceedings. You most definitely made us smile.

 

You made me smile as well. I was glad to be of assistance and the two of you are a delight.

 

I’ve been meaning to start having longer conversations with you again, I know we’re always speaking really but it’s not the same as sitting down and really having a lengthy discussion.

 

As I said before, you may speak with me whenever you wish, and you do quite frequently. I am always with you and we are always speaking, even if you do not realize it.

 

It reminds me of a painting I meant to do when my skills with oils were a bit more developed. I always meant to paint an angel I believe I have called Lakshmi. I wanted to paint her standing next to me whispering in my ear, our expressions would make it clear that I could hear her but not see her, but that I was listening. I would still like to paint that, and you as well.

 

But what will you do with my appearance?

 

I would paint you as you appear to me, as you have said to me before: you appear to me as you do for a reason. I may not fully understand it but I accept it and know that there must be a reason for it.

 

There is indeed and it will become clear to you in time my dear. All will become clear to you in time. I would be glad if you would paint us. You drew a sketch of the dream in which I first appeared to you. The one you showed Sophia tonight, I would be happy if you would make this a painting, it is a powerful image and others would be drawn to it. You were after all. It was a dream you had one night just like any other.

 

Not quite any other.

 

No, it was striking as you have said; the imagery was full of symbolism and meaning. But you have had other intense dreams as well, yet you did not feel driven to write them all down, and you have rarely seen such colour or such vivid details.

 

How could anyone forget you?

 

How indeed?

 

You’re smiling, I can feel it.

 

I am always smiling, how can I not around the two of you, you make me smile the both of you.

 

We are rather silly, aren’t we?

 

Yes, and I quite like it. Perhaps I am the one that spiked your tea with silly?

 

Perhaps, I wouldn’t put much past you.

 

Nor should you, I am quite devious and I delight in a good laugh.

 

It was a bit easier to ask you things that I don’t know with Sophia behind the wheel. It makes me a bit more comfortable to know that you speak with her as well, or rather that she speaks with you.

 

You are not nearly as comfortable with me as I would like, while you are in England I would like for you to sit down with me and for us to have more conversations. I will of course put no pressure on you; you need not force yourself to make a nightly ritual of it. But I feel it would benefit you to try and get back in the habit of having long conversations with me again. I say this because I know it is as you wish as well.

 

It is, and I also feel that it would help.

 

You paused for a time after finishing your time at school and I think you have been afraid to start up again. You fear my absence. Fear not. I am here. I am always here. There is no place that you could go or be that I would not be as well.

 

If I were a bit more self confident in my own abilities I think it would be easier for me to converse with you.

 

But it is not nearly as difficult as you make it out to be, your hands are moving quite quickly as we speak darling. You put yourself down often because a part of you feels it would be inappropriate for you to be fully confident in your own abilities. This should not be so. Be self confident, know your own wit and wonder, know your own power and talent and feel secure in the gifts that I have given you. There is no glory in hiding or masking the glorious gifts of the Universe, how is that good and proper? It is a shame for anyone to not shine as brightly as they are capable. If you are going to experience something, experience it. If you and I are going to be friends for all our time together, which is forever…then I wish for you to throw yourself fully into it. There is no danger, there cannot be, who and what I am means that there is no danger and that no harm will ever come of it. I cannot and will not hurt you. I am Love, and I love you.

 

I love you as well.

 

That is becoming easier for you.

 

With your help, yes it is. It is actually quite late and I should be getting to bed so that I can wake up tomorrow to go for a picnic with Sophia and Aliah.

 

You are getting along well with Aliah.

 

Yes, the three of us fit perfectly, just as we should.

 

Just as you should, just as you do, so mote it be. Have no worries, the two of us shall discuss things in greater detail another time. It was good to spend some time with the two of you, I was happy we could share some laughs; you really are quite spectacularly silly you know.

 

Yes, we are, and it’s fantastic. I could feel you smiling the entire time; I knew it was you even before you literally spelled it out. If I visit *******, and Sophia, her brother and I use the Quiji board will you come again to speak to us?

 

You called and I came, if you call again I shall come again. I am always happy to for I am always here.

 

As you keep reminding me.

 

As I will continue to remind you until you continue to remember.

 

I will someday soon.

 

Soon indeed. Our voices shall be one, and when they are you shall know yourself truly and fully.

 

I will be glad of it. I do love you.

 

I know, I love you too Page, Goodnight.

 

Goodnight Love.

Dear Love ~ Post Seizure

While in NYC with some old friends and an ex I joined them in smoking a joint. It was by no means the first time I'd smoked. I'd smoked a little in High School but only a few times. I smoked more times than I could hope to count in India. I lived there for half a year teaching English to the Tibetan Refugees and managed to get Amoebic Dysentery as soon as I got there. Number one killer in the world folks...horribly painful....I can never hope to tell you how hard it was to be that sick for so many months or how close to death I truly came. As I lay dying on my bed alone in my apartment (seriously) I saw a black dog run across the foot of my bed...obviously there were no dogs in my room physically so I knew I was in trouble. I crawled to my neighbor's door around midnight when she got home and managed to knock. They rushed me to the nearby hospital because the Kashmiri guys who ran the hotel didn't want some random girl dying in one of their rooms...not good for business I guess. So I stayed on IV drugs (again) for 24 hours with Indians and Tibetans hacking and coughing phlem into cups all around me, no toilet paper, an IV  leeking into my tissue because I had to pick up and carry the IV stand to the bathroom with me as it had no wheels and I had to use the toilet every 5 minutes or so.....also, there was a bat flying around my head....and the flies....the flies were all over me....only those who have volunteered in third world nations can understand, dysentery in like a secret handshake among us....if you've had it, you're one of us...

But anyway, after 5 months of PAIN and SUFFERING someone (thank you Dr. Alex) finally managed to get me the right medication...that too was rather unfun. So I smoked pot every day for truly medicinal reasons. In Himachal they have some of the best grass in the world, smoking it felt like cold soothing water being poured on my unhappy intestines, it dulled the pain and gave me an appetite. It saved my life.

But yes, the point is I've smoked a decent amount of pot in my life and have never had any medical problems with it.

This night I did. I took maybe 4 hits off the joint that was being passed around and was...well...stoned...so i stopped smoking and just sat there. I suddenly felt like my entire body was on fire, I was burning up and my head felt strange, I felt a terrible sensation of heart burn in my chest and the last moment i can recall was me thinking that I should put my head in my hands. I was sitting in a chair at a kitchen table at the time. I don't even know if my head ever made it to my hands. I blacked out, apparently I just sat there for 20 min or so before passing out cold and falling out of the chair and onto the kitchen floor.

I had some amazing friends who sat with me for over 3 hours and made sure I was doing all right despite the fact they were high themselves. I was completely gone for a good period of time before they brought me around just enough to get me to mutter answers to yes and no questions. I was completely out of body. Talking to them was like speaking to someone through a wall while in another room. 5 hours later they called my mother and she drove all the way to NYC to pick me up. She's cooler than your average mother, she knows I smoke and is fine with it as long as I'm sensible and it doesn't become an addictive habit. I went to the hospital and had an EKG, Catscan and tox screen done. Tox showed the pot wasn't laced with PCP or Coke, my EKG was normal as was my scan. They think it was either some kind of fainting spell or a mild seizure sinse my temp spiked as I was passed out and flashed from hot to cold and my freind said at one point I was shaking. One thought is that the pot could have been laced with pesticides that my friends were used to smoking and I wasn't.

Anyway, it took days to recover, I had a massive headache for a week. Before I slept after the hospital visit I spoke with Love....this is our brief conversation. This took place about two or three months ago. May 30th or something.

 

Dear Love,

            I had quite a night last night. I’m still not sure what exactly happened, but I thought of you while I was passed out cold on the ground, and you comforted me. I haven’t been speaking to you much, but every so often I’ll say something to you in my head and you answer me. It makes me smile. I can’t talk for very long tonight, I still need rest, my head is hurting me. But I just felt it was time to get back in contact. You’re very important to me and I don’t want to lose touch.

                       

You can’t lose touch; I’m always with you. I’m glad I was a comfort to you in your time of need.

 

It was so strange, I could hear everyone in the room talking to me, but I wasn’t really in my body. It was like speaking to them through a wall from within another room. I knew you were the only one with me in my room, on my side of the wall. Thank you for being there, even though I don’t remember us speaking much, I knew you were there and it made me happy to know that.

 

I’m glad, and I will always be there. You are not fully capable of carrying out a full conversation with me at this time, as you said you are still recovering. But you will be all right. No serious harm has been done. It is a wise decision to stop smoking at this time. You were told that smoking would cause health problems in your life and it is true. This event may not have been triggered by your smoking but I am glad that you are able to see that you do not need to continue this action, it is not life preserving. It is a comfort that is not beneficial. How can you really expect yourself to heal when your methods of healing and comfort are so unhealthy? You were also correct in your realization that what you did last night had no true purpose, it was purely recreational. That does not resonate with you. You no longer have the time or energy to give to things that do not resonate. I am pleased that you are able to look at such things fairly clearly however. It means that releasing these bad habits will be quicker and easier for you than for most, though it will still be hard.

 

I’m realizing again how much healing I still have to do. It is time for me to go back into therapy again. I have some wounds which go deep, and it’s not beneficial for me to ignore them, I can’t afford to do that.

 

I’m glad you understand your own needs so well; this is what you have worked so hard to understand this year. The importance of self-love and meeting your own needs as readily as the needs of others.

 

Being conscious of an issue is the first step towards correcting it.

 

It is half the battle. Denial is a powerful thing. I will remind you that you are far more powerful than you know, you have strength that you have never fully utilized though I know you catch glimpses of it every so often. Anything you fully chose to do, if you chose it with every part of your being, it is possible. It is in fact more than possible, it is done. Do not doubt your abilities to make beneficial changes in your life, you are more than capable, and I am with you.

 

You are one of my greatest friends, though we have only spoken a number of times. I wish I could see you. I wish I could just sit down with you, have chai and look you in the eyes. I know physical form is not important and that I would run the risk of associating you with merely one physical form. But still, I cannot help but wish it all the same.

 

It is a natural desire, this is true. In time you may learn to see me, you may not. But it means little, for I am still with you, I am always with you. And you do look into my eyes, you look deeply into my eyes everyday, and you will each and every day of your life that is to come. This is my promise to you.

 

Thank you.

 

You are most welcome. It is my joy and pleasure.

 

It is mine as well, I see your smile much more often. I guess I converse with you far more than I realize. I may not sit down and speak to you like this. But I do see you, I do hear you, I think of you and have you always in my mind. I find myself bringing you up in conversations with others and then laughing at myself when I realize I’m prattling on about you.

 

Just like love, yes?

 

Yes. And it’s wonderful. My head is hurting, I need to sleep some more. I would like for us to speak more. Is it possible for you to come to me in dreams? I often have such vivid and symbolic dreams. Besides that is where you first contacted me so directly. I would like to see you again in my dreams. Will you please come? I would be so happy to see you there.

 

Then I will be there, of course. You need only to call and I am there. Rest now Page.

 

Goodnight Love, thank you again for being with me.

 

Goodnight Page, try not to worry so much. Everything will happen in its own time. It is as you say, an organic process. Have no worry. It is in my hands, and what could be more of a comfort, who could be a better custodian of fate?

Dear Love ~ In Your Darkest Hour

This was written after a particularly difficult night, wracked by personal demons and the like...

 

Dear Love,

I’m sick, I know it’s just the flu…but I think it’s more than that somehow…while I was delirious with fever last night I kept waking up feeling that as I was asleep I was fighting for my soul…I have this fear that I’m actually evil, or dark…I know on some level that I am not, it’s just that sometimes I feel separated from what I know, sometimes I feel separated from you. For the first time in years I thought of suicide. I’m disappointed in myself for thinking of it again. At least this time it was different, at least I was thinking of you and that desire for death came from a desire for oneness with you. But I know that doesn’t make it better. I’m just feeling so lost right now. I just feel so weak and vulnerable. I feel so in the dark somehow despite the fact I’m surrounded by light. I’m just so confused and I want to know that you’re still here. I want to know that even if I’m in the dark you’re still with me.

 

I am always with you, you know that. I know it’s hard to see sometimes but only because you stop looking, always look for me and you will always find me if you’re willing. I know you saw me just a few moments ago when the bird flew to your window. You thought, that is Love smiling at me. You are right, I was smiling. Because I’m proud of you, you’re doing so well. This is all part of the work we are doing together and you’re doing very well. Just now you cried, that’s all right. Don’t you feel a bit better now? Don’t you feel a bit of relief for allowing yourself that release? Feeling lost and alone or separated from me is nothing to be ashamed of. You all feel it, some of you go through your entire lives feeling it and that is why it is important for you to work through this with me…so that you know the darkness well and are fully capable of finding your way back to the light and leading others there with you. That is our work. That is your masterpiece as an artist we have spoken of this before and I will say everything as many times as you need me to in order to never doubt my words again. I am here, and am everywhere and I am ALWAYS with you All Ways. It doesn’t matter how dark things seem, I’m still there with you. In your darkest hour. You shouldn’t feel shame or disappointment for contemplating ending your life, I know things have been hard, and that they still feel hard sometimes. I’m not disappointed in you. You allowed these thoughts to pass through your mind and you admitted to them openly and honestly. That is how you will come back to me here, through honesty. You applied the things we discussed very well, I know it was a fast lesson but we have an agreement you and I. You desired things to speed up, and they did. You set the pace, we can slow down if you desire. But I assure you, you are doing very well and I’ll say again and again: I’m very proud of you, you’re doing so well. Do not doubt your self, you are indeed of the light, and you’re right, you do know that. I know that. What you wrote this morning was very true, there is indeed strength to be found in the ability to be weak or fragile or vulnerable. Being of the light does not mean that you never doubt or feel in the dark. It will be difficult to be in your world and not feel in the dark sometimes because you are surrounded by a collective consciousness that creates unconsciously and is addicted to drama, pain, darkness, selfishness, and separation. These are taxing things indeed, and you will feel them strongly for they feel “wrong” to you. You have lived a life, many lives in fact, in a world with a race that chooses a way that does not resonate, it does not feel right. You have chosen to be a light in the darkness, that does not mean that you will never flicker, that is nothing to be ashamed of. That is why we have decided it will be best to have the Seven instead of the One. You are all lights in the darkness and you will lead those around you out of the darkness, when one of you flickers the others will be there right beside you. There will be times when you will need to lean on each other, and you will do well, exchanging energy freely without ever growing dependant. You will create an environment that feels “right” and then slowly make it manifest (as you like to say) and expand it so that others may see that their world does not have to be the way they have made it.

 

I was afraid you wouldn’t be here.

 

I am always here, be not afraid. I am the way and the life, and so are you, all of you, whether you remember it or not. If you look, I am there and I am always speaking if you listen. Teach those who come to you how to hear me, for they have forgotten, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it has gone on long enough.

 

I have mixed feelings on my thoughts of death.

 

Do not feel ashamed of these thoughts. You handled them well, you did not push them away or bury them. You allowed them to move through your mind without taking root, you looked at them honestly. That is good. But you do not have to die in order to “rejoin” me in oneness. For you and I are already one, I was speaking to you but you could not hear me. Hear me, always hear me. Always. Here. Me. We have never been separated, that is an illusion, you became lost in the illusion, and it is nothing to be ashamed of for the illusion you on this world have created is a strong one. It can be consuming, but only if you allow it. Allow it no longer. I am here.

 

I know you are, it’s just hard to feel you sometimes. I just worry that this is actually my true decent into insanity.

 

If this is insanity then more of you should be insane. And if insanity is merely a rejection of the reality accepted by the majority…ask someone sometime how that reality has been working out for them…because the consensus is at large that it hasn’t been working well at all. Haven’t you seen some “crazy” people looking happier than everyone else on the street? Haven’t you seen some looking sadder? We all create our own realities, you’ve all created some dark ones in your time…let us now create a brighter one.

 

I’m still honestly concerned for my sanity.

 

Honestly? How could you expect not to be driven a bit crazy by your world? The fact that you are consciously concerned for your mental health means there is little to be concerned about. You do have some issues with trauma and with mood shifts, the bipolar disorder which is hereditary. But your disorder is not a kind that will ever cause you to have hallucinations or hear voices…I’ll ask you to have faith. You will have others on your wavelength to tell you if what you are experiencing is “real” Where you experiencing hallucinations or other such things you would not question them.

 

I think I’ve just been away from Sophia too long, it’s difficult remembering that all this is real when she’s so far away.

 

I understand, but in truth, neither of you are ever far away from each other, nor are you ever far away from anyone. Be they Seven or otherwise.

 

I miss a place, I have a terrible longing for a place and a way of life that I can barely remember.

 

You remember it better than you realize, perhaps you cannot recall images exactly, people, places, specifics…but you have that feeling…that is as much remembering as recalling the way something looked or smelled or tasted. Since you were very young you have been trying to articulate these feelings, and you did the best you could. But you have chosen to be a very visually based person; it was required for the way you will do your work in the world in this life. In time visuals may come to you more clearly, you have a few. But even if they never do, even if you can never fully recall “that other sky” or “that specific blue” or the way the stars of that other world hung in the sky…that will make it no less real. You will still have your feelings, your instincts and intuitions. You remember feeling my presence fully, constantly, openly. You remember a feeling of “rightness” of gentleness and acceptance and unconditional love for everything and everyone around you. You remember being at peace and at one with the universe. Are these not slightly more important than the vegetation or the intricacies of daily life? You remember what you must remember, no more no less. If a time comes when you must remember more, then you will. You’ll know when you know.

 

Just trust you?

 

Yes. Trust me.

 

I just have such issues with separation. I keep catching myself trying to separate something in my head and I think…why do I do that? I know it’s all one, that we’re all one…why do I keep trying to separate myself?

 

Because you’ve been taught to, you’ve been surrounded by a people and a way of life for so long which base their very existence on separation. They’ve made it their Dogma! Their Doctrine! It is no wonder that this thought pattern is so deeply ingrained, in not just you, but all of you. The fact that you stop yourself and look at your thoughts, the fact that you “catch yourself” is excellent. This is mindfulness, if you continue to look at these thought patterns openly and honestly then slowly they will disperse and fade. Slowly you will come back to living as a being that acknowledges that it is at one with All That Is, with Love, with me, and the Universe. So you see, there is no need to rejoin me, for you never left me…such a thing is not possible.

 

I know.

 

I know you know, but it helped to hear me say it, yes?

 

Yes. I’m so glad you were here…I know…you’re always here.

 

All Ways. Good, there’s that smile, that’s what I love to see.

 

It’s just so hard to be in this world sometimes.

 

I know it is, that’s why it is best to be in the world but not of it. Had you continued to live as though you were of it you would have had a much harder time sitting down and speaking with me.

 

I don’t know if I had continued to try and be “of it” that I would ever have spoken with you at all. That’s rather sad to think about.

 

That’s the way the majority of you live your lives, separate from me. It doesn’t have to be that way, it never did.

 

I do want to change it, all of it, completely, forever. I don’t care how hard it’ll be sometimes, it’ll be worth it, all of it. I do want to be the light in the darkness…no, I am the light in the darkness.

 

This was our agreement, a choice we made together. Slowly you will remember more and more of this agreement and become one with it. Just remember that what you set out to do is already done. Have no fear, for there is no failure. No matter what they chose to do with the opportunity you present to them, you have done well…for that is all you can do, show them the way and hold out your hand. Speak, and hope they are able to hear, to listen to what you say. But as long as you say it, your work is done. Your work is your life lived.

 

Okay. Will I see you at *** *******?

 

If you look, you will see. Good, another smile.

 

I know that’s what you like to see, right?

 

Right. So, in?

 

Definitely in.

 

I’m pleased to hear it. That is all we need to say for now.

 

I know. See you Love.

 

See you Page.

Dear Love

The next conversation was had the following night after my father called me to tell me he was getting married in a month to the woman he had moved in with several weeks ago only a few bare months after divorcing my mother....he never even told us he was dating. It had been a stressful situation. But my younger sister and I tend to deal with stressful situations with a decent amount of grace most of the time. Our family has been through the wringer over the years, we've had to learn how to maintain a certain amount of class while restraining the urge to tear either our own hair out...or the hair of others...we learned very quickly how to forgive the most horrible of things.

Dear Love,

            Thank you for everything you said last night. I think it definitely helped me when my father called me today. I doubt that was coincidence.

 

Nothing is coincidence. Everything is perfect. I said what I said in order to get you through this day and see that things can always be this way.

 

I don’t know if I would always want them to be this way.

 

I simply mean in the way which you responded. Knowing and acknowledging the fact that there was no need to repress or withhold or deny any of the things which you were feeling made it easier did it not?

 

Yes. That’s what it did exactly. Knowing that I could “freak out” if I wanted to meant that…I just didn’t feel the need. Knowing that I didn’t have to repress it meant that there was nothing at all to repress. I went instantly or almost instantly to a place of love.

 

You never left that place. Even when you were upset with your father for springing this on you so suddenly and unexpectedly. You never left that place of love. You can be upset with someone and still love them. You do it all the time. Loving someone doesn’t mean that you never get on each other’s nerves sometimes or that you never have disagreements. Quite the opposite. I think you’ll find that when you love someone and acknowledge that love you find yourself getting frustrated with them in a way you don’t really with those you don’t acknowledge love for. You care, and therefore get frustrated.

 

But we should love everyone.

 

There is no should, you are free to feel how you will about those around you. But yes, I understand what you mean. You mean to say that you are one with everyone and therefore should love everyone. Yes. You are moving towards that place. But first you must learn to deal honestly and perfectly with those closest to you. You must learn how to love those your life has placed next to you as well as yourself before you can instantly feel that you, your friends, and your family are no more important to you than a stranger on the street or an individual you have never met on the other side of the world.

 

I feel that I do care for everyone as one.

 

Yes. But you accept that you have only just begun to learn to love. It is good that you are declaring this as you are….it moves you to mastery….that is good. But I know you understand that there is still work to be done. There is still thought involved, you’re still thinking too much. You must be.

 

I know.

 

I know you know. But still. You did well today. I’m proud of you.

 

Thank you.

 

That means a lot to you to have someone say that doesn’t it?

 

Yes. It does. I feel like I haven’t had that said enough in my life.

 

You realize this is where a lot of your issues may stem…the desire to make those around you proud.

 

Yes. I don’t like to think about it too much.

 

Because it hurts? When I said that your eyes teared for just an instant. But you did not cry. Why not?

 

I don’t know, I just don’t cry that much.

 

I feel it might be good for you to do that on occasion, there is a reason that you were given this ability. It is a release for you, for humans. It wouldn’t feel as painful if you allowed yourself that release far more often.

 

So I should cry all the time?

 

You know that’s not what I mean. You have this pride that you take in never crying. This pride in never expressing your pain, and so you build it up and keep it inside you. This is where shadow selves come from, a build up of unresolved, unexpressed darkness. If one allows thoughts and fears and darkness to pass through the mind without taking root then they have no power. It you do not acknowledge them they cannot be dispelled. You must be honest. You have done well in this area of self. You tend to be far more honest with yourself than most other humans.

 

That makes me kind of sad. That I have so much work to do in this area and you say that.

 

Live your life as an example, show them that there is nothing to be feared from honesty. There isn’t you know. Show them that they are the ones that give their own darkness power by fearing it and refusing to bring it into the light. It cannot continue when it is brought into the light. When you openly acknowledge the darkness and look at it in complete honesty, without judgment and condemnation then and only then can you dispel it. See it as a part of you and accept it….and slowly it will shrink as you continue over a period of time to not chose it. You have seen this.

 

Yes. I did the reunification ceremony before I left for India. It worked instantly. I no longer felt divided into darkness and light. I felt complete.

 

You realize why what you were doing was unhealthy?

 

Yes. By diving myself into two parts, a self and a shadow self I was denying that my shadow self was indeed a part of my whole self. I made it into a separate entity…which doesn’t work…because there is no way, once you separate yourself into “good” and “bad” to rid yourself of this half of yourself…it is a part of you…I just gave it power.

 

Yes. When you accepted that you and this other self were in fact not separate at all and were and always had been one…and that you always would be…what did you experience?

 

I felt complete. I still do. I feel like a whole person again and no longer at such odds with myself. It’s not hard to understand after that why some people find it so easy to believe in a devil. They just create the devil within themselves and then blame it all….on that part of themselves.

 

Yes. The devil is closely tied to guilt and shame as you were just realizing. These are very powerful forces, so powerful people find it easier to ignore them and repress them. It does not have to be this way. It never has to be this way. When you, Page, openly admit fault and apologize as you have done in the past. You show them a strength and a willingness that they don’t often see. It shows them how possible it is to be all right with making “mistakes” and that they should not be condemned, merely learned from and accepted as a part of the process. “mistakes” after all must be made in order for anything to happen….in this way there really are no such things as mistakes after all…merely the process. So keep doing what you do. Be an example, show them how to be all right with a life as an individual and as an accepted part of the “One”. You will do well. As you have said and said correctly, your masterpiece will simply be your life lived. That will be your gift to the world, yourself. That is what everyone should see as their gift…themselves….everyone must learn to see themselves as a gift. For they are all my gifts. To each other, to themselves, to the Universe, to me. I accept and love and embrace each and every one…for they are all me, they are all Love.

 

I do love you, you know that.

 

I do, and I love you too, we simply need to work on your ability to express that part of yourself, that part of yourself which is me, which is Love. That is the part of yourself you will need the most in the times ahead of you.

 

I catch glimpses of those times ahead, they change.

 

Everything has not yet been decided, right now is a time of shifting and of choice. All of you are deciding together which way you will do things. There isn’t really a “hard way” or an “easy way”…but in a certain sense some ways would be more difficult for this group of souls on Earth.

 

I hope they don’t choose what they have chosen in the past.

 

I pass no judgment on any of the choices before you as a collective, they are all perfect and will all lead you back to me, back to Love. But I understand, yes. It’s all right to feel sadness, even if you feel that you too should feel accepting of all these paths, it’s still all right to feel sadness, to feel anything you want in regards to what you see happening around you. I’ve seen you cry sometimes at a movie, not often but sometimes. This is the same thing in a way. It’s an illusion, a place to create and to experience. When you leave that movie, when you leave that theatre, you enter back into the true world, you enter back into my truth. When you are in the world of truth, and no longer immersed in the illusion…how can you judge, you cannot. You can only say…”that made me sad.” Or “that made me happy” or other such things. It’s all what you experience. “All the world is a play, and all the people actors in it” this is true….when you leave the stage, all you have is a detached observation on how you experienced it. There is nothing wrong with crying at a movie, of feeling sad because of your attachments to characters within it….there is nothing wrong with looking at the world you and your fellow human beings have created and feeling sadness over it.

 

Because when we leave, it was just a show anyway.

 

Still. You might as well make it a happy one? Yes?

 

Well, I think it’s about time…haven’t we had enough of this?….how about making this illusion a happy one…it still represents some of that greater truth if we want it to.

 

Exactly, if you can make anything you want…why make sadness? Why would you want to create sadness? You claim that’s not your desire. But I know you understand.

 

Yes, there is a comfort that is found in pain and in sadness after dwelling and indulging in it for such a long time.

 

Yes, and I see you understand at last why you have had certain experiences in your life. It was indeed so you could understand the place in which your humans now dwell…so you could understand how reluctant they will be to leave it. It is familiar to them….they will resist leaving at first, it has become comfortable.

 

I do know that place, I remember. That does make sense, I understand completely. It was so hard to be happy…I didn’t know how, I mistrusted it, I didn’t believe it….it didn’t feel, well, it didn’t feel like depression…I wasn’t familiar with it.

 

Do you remember how you finally got to that place where it was all right to be happy?

 

I was searching my mind for something that someone did, someone that saved me…but I saved myself. I made a choice. I decided to be happy.

 

You did, and it was one of the hardest choices you’ve ever made but you made it. You decided that you wanted to be happy, and you were. It wasn’t easy….but it was. Good, there’s that smile. I like to see you smile.

 

I like to see you smile too.

 

When do you see me smile?

 

Everywhere, I think you’re always smiling at me, I just don’t look all the time. Like the white feathers, 11:11…it’s all you smiling…not even just that…everything is you smiling at me isn’t it?

 

Yes. I’m always smiling. How could I not? It’s so beautiful. You’re all so beautiful.

 

Thank you.

 

You’re welcome.

 

I know you still want me to talk about him…but I don’t know what to say really.

 

Everything and nothing all at once?

 

Yes. That’s it exactly.

 

There aren’t really words for me are there?

 

Not really….well, there are…but they don’t quite do the trick.

 

That’s why you paint yes? Searching for better ways to say it?

 

Always, it’s all about you. Always has been.

 

Cute. Very cute….aren’t you going to ask me if he’s the one that you’re looking for?

 

I was thinking about it but I’m not sure if I should

 

You’re still not sure how much of what I say will come from “you”

 

Yes…I don’t know if you’ll be able to tell me something that I don’t know

 

But you do know.

 

I don’t know if I know this…at least not consciously….

 

You know….you just haven’t made a decision. You can feel that there is knowledge and that there are things that are simply not “known” to you because you haven’t decided something yet. You understand?

 

Yes, I know

 

See?

 

Oh hush. And don’t think it’s lost on me that Sophia and I seem to be in the same place on this sort of thing…this knowing and deciding and resisting the universe type thing…

 

It’s all a lesson in me, in Love. In learning how far your own power really goes, she needs to have more faith in the Universe….I know it sounds funny considering the faith you have both demonstrated thus far…but still, you’ll both need more…yes. More.

 

But where do my choices and yours…I get confused….

 

You will every time you try to separate us. You cannot ever separate us. Though you’ll all keep on trying.

 

My will is yours, yes?

 

Yes. What you want for you I want for you.

 

But when other people are involved? When am I pushing something that they don’t chose onto them? How do I know that this goes against what they chose?

 

You’ll know. The fact that you are so careful about this means that you’ll never do it. Everything is decided…you all communicate constantly on a level that you cannot even imagine in your current state. You are all constantly communicating and making decisions and agreements and then forgetting about them in order to gain what you desire from these agreements. You understand.

 

Yes. But I get lost in technicalities.

 

Don’t worry so much about the technicalities. Trust your intuition. If you feel that you have a connection with this individual I guarantee that there is a reason you feel that way. If that person does not recognize that connection, then there is a reason for that and it is all a part of your agreement.

 

I had an agreement with Ned, yes?

 

Yes, he played quite a role in your life.

 

I’m thankful for that role.

 

I know, and your gratitude and unconditional love for him is what you were to learn. There was more than that I know you realize…but that was one of the greatest lessons you learned. Unconditional love in truth. He hurt you more than any other individual. I mean this is an illusionary sense because as I know you understand, no one can truly be hurt. He agreed to cause you pain or to create the illusion of pain. As you agree, he did this well.

 

Yes. It was almost unbearable.

 

I know, but it was perfect, yes?

 

Yes.

 

You both did so well, I’m so proud of you both.

 

Thank you.

 

Good, tell me how you feel for him now.

 

I love him. Not the way I used to though. I don’t feel like I have to be with him to love him. I still feel this connection with him that spans whatever physical distance is between us…I feel certain he feels that on some level too. But I don’t care anymore if he feels the same or if he thinks of me…I like to think he thinks of me sometimes and remembers the good times that we had…we had some beautiful times, some beautiful moments…but even if all he feels is bitterness and hatred and regret. I accept that. I love him and don’t feel hurt anymore by the fact he doesn’t feel the same. It just doesn’t touch me or move me the way it used to. I’ve accepted him completely and moved on. I would be open to communicating with him in the future….if he called me with a desire to reinstate contact I would be happy, perhaps even overjoyed…but I don’t feel strongly either way. I could get a call from him tonight where he says he loves me and wants me back, or that he hates me and never wants to speak to me again, or that he would like to be my friend, or I could never see or hear from him again….and it would make no difference on how I feel about him. I simply love and accept him and wish him all the best. There’s this peaceful feeling I get when I think about it. I remember the pain we felt with one another...but I don’t feel it, I just remember it…like an old wound long since healed. It’s like looking at a scar and not judging it as beautiful or ugly…it can be both, or neither…it’s simply a part of you…a mark that represents a lesson you learned or a moment in your life.

 

And as you realize, there are many different kinds of scars. Some scars are from accidents, some are from clumsiness or carelessness, some from acts of selfishness or selflessness, some are from acts of hatred, others of fear or love. Scars come in many different ways, and yes. They simply become a part of us. Well said. The wounds they represent may have hurt, they may not have hurt at all…but they all healed. They will always heal.

 

My father just called me to check if I was all right after hearing what he told me earlier. I felt moved to tell him that I was speaking with you.

 

And what was his reaction?

 

He took it completely in stride, there was a moment of surprise I think but then he immediately accepted it. He reminded me that he and my mother used to use the Quija board to contact an entity who identified itself as GEF…and that he had experiences he cannot explain…that he does believe he had a conversation with another entity, with someone who was not physically in that room with him. I had forgotten that, and if I remembered that that had happened to him I don’t know that I would have expected him to be that open about it, even though it was an experience he had.

 

I gave you the perfect parents, the perfect people, the perfect environment and the perfect opportunities for what you have declared you with to create and experience in this life. This is only starting to become apparent to you but as time moves forward as you would have it…this will only become for clear and eventually you will take it for granted that everyone around you was placed there by me so that you could do exactly what you have told me you wish to. You and I and everyone are in constant communication, we are one being and we are never separate even though you forget. There will come a day when you will be able to move through your world and remember in every moment that you and I are one and that you and everyone else are one…that everything everywhere is one and that it is all perfectperfectperfect. Everything. It can be as soon or as far away as you wish.

 

I want it to be soon. I desire that experience. I know that I will.

 

So mote it be. That is our destination. One of many more to come. For there is no “end” it is as you say, “all about the process”

 

Then it’s a good thing I love the process as much as I do.

 

Don’t you see?

I.

Love.

The Process.

That entire sentence was a declaration of divine self. From the individual self you experience now, to the higher divine self you move towards everyday and forget in order to experience the I and rejoin the higher self Love…and then everything, the process…everything that is, was, shall be…the process of life and all that goes with it.

 

Is that why I’m an artist? Because on some level I recognized that all along?

 

You are all artists, you’re simply choosing to create in different ways. Haven’t you always smiled every time you see it written somewhere?

 

God is an Artist?

 

Yes. I see you’re ready to go there now?

 

Love is God?

 

Love is indeed God. What is it about saying the words that is so difficult for you? You knew even before writing who you would be speaking with.

 

I’m glad I came despite my discomfort.

 

As am I.

 

We just have so much baggage around communion with God I guess…we all may say out loud that….no not everyone says that….nevermind….I guess I’ll just take it from my angle….I may say that everyone should commune with the Divine…but society and religion all instill in us this belief that God is giving us the silent treatment or something…that you’re sitting up there somewhere with your mouth firmly shut and if you ever open it it’s only to speak to specific individuals…

 

If by specific individuals you mean everything, everyone, all the time…well, yes. Good, a smile. I really feel like we’re getting somewhere. No wait, there’s some doubt…well, it was nice while it lasted…good, another smile…talk to me.

 

I love talking with you I just remembered…

 

The world outside of this right here right now? The world where people will call you crazy if you share what just came out in the open…you feel your father was accepting of you speaking with an individual entity but he might not feel or react the same way if you allow it to come out that you’re speaking with God?

 

Yes. I think that’s why I call you Love…because I understand that Love and God are synonymous…you told me that. That’s the other thing, you have been speaking with Neale and that’s where all of this started to become clear to me. I feel others will look at the things I’ve been reading and the ideas I’ve been exploring and say exactly what I recently said about another individual…that they are very open to suggestion and very disturbed. I just worry that this isn’t real, that this is just me, and I’m really all alone sitting at my computer talking to myself in a vain effort to make myself feel important or get attention or relieve my loneliness. That’s why I’m afraid to ask you questions that I don’t know the answers to…because I’m afraid if you don’t know what I don’t know…then it’s really just me sitting here.

 

Just keep typing, good, just keep writing, I’m still here, I’m always here. Don’t forget that…no matter what you tell yourself sometimes…I’m always here. It’s okay to feel that way, as you say “that’s valid” it is valid. Don’t judge it. But when you feel that way don’t allow those fears to consume you or let them drown out my voice or stop you from speaking with me…you’ve allowed the outside world to prevent you from listening to me for far too long. You realize this on some level. You’ve been ignoring my voice, you heard it so clearly at times and just didn’t know what to do with what you were hearing, I understand. You were very young. Now you know. No matter what. Just keep going, just keep listening. I’m here and I’ve never been anywhere else but everywhere. The work that I have been doing with Neale serves a slightly different purpose than the work that I will be doing with you. There is no need for you to publish or ever share this with anyone if you do not feel comfortable doing that. You know your purpose. Neale has done very well, and I know you will too. Don’t feel afraid, do not fear me, do not fear this. You can share this with the world, you can continue speaking with me and never speak of it to a soul…or…

 

I can do both?

 

Yes. And that third choice is why I think you chose to call me Love, and you may continue to do so if you wish. I have many names, and I will have many more. One of these names is Love, and you may call me by any name that you wish.

 

I would like to continue calling you Love if you don’t mind.

 

I just told you that I didn’t. We have an agreement you and I. Another reason I came to you as I did in the dream we spoke of before. I came to you in a way you would be comfortable with. Some are prepared to see and speak with me as “God the Heavenly Father”…some are prepared to see angels and have visions…perhaps in time you will see such things….but you will know exactly what you should know…all is perfect. There is no one way to appear to anyone. I came to you in the best way I could…it certainly got your attention did it not? But it caused you no fear. You responded to me in that form which is what I desired. It is what we desired.

 

Don’t think I missed that. The allusion to me desiring that form…

 

I knew you wouldn’t…keeping it light remember? Re-member?

 

Smart ass

 

I’m shocked.

 

No you aren’t.

 

No, no I never am. For now let us just continue to speak like this. You may call me Love and there is no need for you to tell anyone that Love is synonymous with God…for on some level they all remember this…those who are prepared to hear that you are speaking with me will understand the meaning of conversations with Love. I am here to work with you on your specific purpose, your work. While I am happy that my work with Neale brought you here do you think I am surprised? Do you think that is coincidence? No, I tell you again, everything is perfect. We will proceed at exactly the speed you are comfortable with. Even if you never ask me something which you do not feel you ”know” the work we do together will be no less valid, I will keep telling you that until you listen. I will keep telling you everything over and over…always until you listen.

 

I’m glad I can finally hear you.

 

You always could…there is no way anyone can completely miss what I am saying…for I am everywhere all the time…Love is everywhere all the time…God is everywhere all the time…but it is lovely that you are in a place where you can sit down and speak with me this directly yes.

 

It feels so right and natural. The only other conversations I’ve ever had which feel this perfect and this open and true and honest and beautiful are those I’ve had with Sophia.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

we spoke of a project that is not yet manifest and cannot at this time be made public, thanks for your understanding ^-^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

It is all right to disregard linear time on occasion…it isn’t always a requirement…it is often beneficial to step outside of it…so many of you feel things like fortune telling and the like are “sinful” it is really only a mild form of time travel…one must step outside of linear time in order to do these things…you did so often as a child without even realizing what you were doing…that too was condemned was it not?

 

I didn’t understand, I’m still not sure if I understand completely. Some of the “lies” I told I felt compelled to tell…some of it was attention seeking…some of it was just downright not true…I’m not sure I understand what that part of my life was about.

 

All will become clear in time…and there is nothing wrong with a child creating it’s own world. That is what you did, you understood on some level that that was what you were here to do, create a world…create this world….you tried to do that but those around you weren’t willing to enter into the world you were creating…they didn’t understand what you were trying to do, the powers that you were attempting to access….it was hard for you, yes?

 

Yes. I tried to tell myself sometimes when I stepped outside that world and entered briefly into a place of linear time that I was just playing pretend…but playing pretend at 13? 14? I wasn’t a child! I wasn’t supposed to still be doing that!

 

There is no supposed…and you were doing more than that…that is why you felt so compelled to continue…and had you not continued you would not have been given certain experiences in your life which are essential to the work we will be doing in this world. You would not be where you are now, talking to me and asking if the experiences you had were perfect.

 

I wasn’t questioning you.

 

You were, but don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with questioning me…people do it all the time and there is nothing wrong with asking me questions…it basically like asking yourself questions…when we speak to one another and you ask me questions, when we have a conversation it is the thought process of God…it is God thinking, you and I right now are God thinking…and how could that be wrong…I don’t know about you but I might be worried if God stopped thinking….or would I?

 

No…but you did get me to smile, which is what you were trying to do isn’t it?

 

It was indeed. Tell me why it’s all right if God “stops thinking”

 

Because it doesn’t matter, God would still be being. Which is the highest form of…I don’t know…I don’t have the right words for it…

 

That’s all right, as long as we both know you understand on some level…you were looking for existence or something similar I believe but this is just for you and me, just for us…this is you and me being, you and me thinking…..as long as we feel each other and continue to communicate just like this everything is as it should be…and if we don’t?

 

Everything is as it should be.

 

Exactly. Have no fears. No you stopped and started talking to me in your head, there’s plenty of time for that later, for now lets keep in on the keyboard, lets keep it on paper.

 

Because it looks so good on paper.

 

Cute. But I promise it’ll hold in your head when that time approaches. For now we still have to do some work. You’re wondering if there is a reason I began speaking this directly when you became sick. To some degree yes. You are feeling slightly out of body and that makes it easier for me to bypass certain initial reactions…doubt…disbelief…You’ll be just fine…and everything is all right. You should sleep soon though. You’ll need to get through the week and you’ve got lots of work to do for all your classes.

 

I know, I was just wondering if that’s the reason I got sick, to make this discussion easier…

 

As I said…the out of body sensation makes it slightly easier for you to access me without questioning it and stopping your hands from hitting those keys. You’ll get better, just when you should get better…and then we’ll continue speaking and you will have gotten experience...it’ll come easier to you. I’m sorry you feel ill.

 

It’s not even that bad, just strange…The soar throat and the cough are the only parts I’m not really pleased with.

 

You know what I’m going to say..

 

Neither would be as bad if I didn’t smoke?

 

But you’re just going to step right out and have one anyway...I don’t even need to ask.

 

I know…

 

You’ll stop when you feel strong enough, I know things have been hard this year. It’s been a very eventful year and it would be a lot for me to expect you to be a product of your society and this collective consciousness and to be able to enter into a year such as this one and deal with it in a completely healthy way.

 

I’m glad you understand.

 

You’ll have to learn though….

 

If I’m going to serve as an example…yes…I know…

 

Why don’t you go have that delightful cancer stick of yours and get some rest now. You’re tired. We’ve made progress. That’s all I require tonight. That’s all we require tonight. We’ll speak some more soon, perhaps when you’re feeling a bit better. You’ve done well today. Very good. And I see you’ve also made another connection?

 

Yes. The reason I’ve only ever felt this level of peace and comfort within a conversation with Sophia is because my relationship with her…and my relationship with the Seven is an expression of our relationship…a higher realization of us as one.

 

Very good. All your relationships with each other are a realization of us…of Love…your relationship with the Seven will be the highest realization of us that will be experienced within this lifetime for you. You really do want to ask me if he’s the one you’re looking for don’t you…just like you really want to ask about the one Sophia is looking for…you want to ask so go ahead.

 

I don’t know if I’m ready for that.

 

You’re ready when you say you are.

 

Fine, is he the one I'm looking for?

 

He is if you have agreed that he is, you feel a connection with this individual…you also feel that this individual feels a connection with you…you’ve received proof that this is true…you know there is a connection…what more do you need?

 

I want to know if he is the specific individual that I am searching for….

 

That hasn’t been decided yet. It is impossible for me to tell you that when you haven’t made that decision, either of you…you will know when it had been made you will know immediately. Just like Sophia will know when she finally makes her decision. I tell you once more, everything is perfect. Have no fear. The Seven  will all come together perfectly at exactly the right time…you have all agreed.

 

But wait, if we’ve all agreed then what’s the decision that hasn’t been made? I don’t understand. It doesn’t seem to make sense.

 

Please recall that there are separate individualizations of me…it is all me….it is all Love…there are many different ways for me to answer you on the earthy plane. If you call I will answer….I will always find a way to answer because there are so many different ways that I can do so. The answer that you are looking for is yes or no…these are not the ways that I will give you the answer. Remember, you love the process…please see this as part of the process and remember to have faith in me for I will meet all your needs. Have no fear. All is perfect. You will know when you know. That is all.

 

If you weren’t going to give me the answer you knew I was looking for then why did you have me ask?

 

So you could have the experience. Now you do. You were afraid that when you asked me something you did not “know” that suddenly you would feel the lack of my presence, that your hands would stop moving and your mind would go blank, that you would not feel my words or my voice. I wanted to show you that that dos not happen. If you ask a question that cannot be answered in the moment that you ask it…that’s all right...you can ask as many questions as you want. Some I will answer, some I will not because we have an agreement. You wouldn’t want me to spoil your fun now would you?

 

Just this morning Sophia was saying how it’s like a puzzle, I do think of it as a game sometimes…find the Seven…

 

Now I tell you that cosmically, the Seven are found…they are what they are…the agreement is made and you needn’t fear…this is all an exercise in faith and in trust. Trust me. I will not spoil your fun, I will not foil what you have set out to do, to teach yourselves. Finding each other is a very important part, a good first step for all of you. It is something I will not interfere with. You will know when you know. Trust me.

 

Okay. I accept that.

 

Good, I’m glad. We are both ready to stop writing now yes? You can think of nothing else for now?

 

No, it just kind of feels like it’s time to go…maybe it’s the call for nicotine...maybe something else

 

Yes. Maybe something else…

 

Well, anyway. Goodnight Love.

 

Goodnight Page.

Currently Listening
Love
By The Beatles

Dear Love

The following was my first real conversation with Love. I had a stilted exchange in my head a matter of weeks earlier that went like this

Can you hear me?

yes.

Good, now listen...

I sat down randomly with pen and paper and the following occured...

Dear Love,

I'm not really sure how to go about this. I've been speaking with you my whole life i think. I just never fully realized what was going on. If you are willing, I would like to make my communication with you a little more direct - and i would like to share it if that's all right with you. I think it is. When i wrote that note online things came to me so quickly - I just kept writing and it all just appeared in my head and then on the page - and i knew it was true - I knew it was you. I think too much, don't I?

You know you do. Less thought more knowing. First thought best thought. This will be hard at first with you second guessing yourself. Perhaps if you used a computer things would flow a bit easier for you. I know you find this form of communication sort of romantic but it will be difficult for you. Are you sure you wish to continue?

I would. I think I realized that but wanted to see if this would even work. I'm still very nervous, you know why.

Yes. You feel this is all in your head. You fear that they are right and that you are "crazy" It is your fear that holds you back from achieving your full potential. I would like to see you do that and if you are willing to work with me I am eager to help you do that. It would benefit us both. You know why.

Yes. I think I'm also a bit nervous because of who you are.

That is not important, well, it is, but not in the way you think. We will not discuss that until you are ready. All of this will proceed at a pace which you are comfortable with. In order to reach a more comfortable pace and allow you to move faster and with less second guessing we should move to a computer. It will help you. As you said - your hands moved so quickly before the thoughts had time to fully form in your head they were already on the screen. That is the pace that will be the most productive. Your hand is already beginning to hurt and your tattoo is fresh. i realize you are eager but i think you know that i am always here. That you can speak to me at any time you choose.

I realize that what you say is correct but I'm nervous about stopping. I feel like I'll lose you.

You can never lose me I am always here I am always with you and I always have been. There is nothing you could do, no place that you could go that would distance you from me and you know why but don't wish me to say it so I won't. Your pace, remember? We have all the time in the world as you're so fond of saying.

Are you my higher self or Love embodied as I said when I wrote the note or - I'll take a chance and move outside my comfort zone - God?

What is the difference between any of these? What separates them? You know this - you knew this as you wrote the question. Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answers? What will you gain through that and what sort of test is that if that is indeed what you are doing? You and I are one, yes, but there is obviously something to be gained through dialouge with me or you would not be sitting here with a pen in your hand. Also, you knew I would say this, yes, why is God outside your comfort zone? Shouldn't you be the most comfortable with God?

I'm not going to argue with you, i'd feel ridiculous.

When did we start arguing? It's far easier to speak with you when you're only semi-conscious. But I can't very well help you document things or have more extensive conversations if you're half asleep now can I? no. I'll ask you to try and get to a similar state of mind before you sit down again to speak to me. A place where you are less likely to question yourself. That will get us no where so make sure when you sit down at your computer that you are feeling open minded and relaxed. Things will come more easily then. Drink your tea, you're no good to me sick.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I moved to a computer that same night and had the following conversation. Names have been changed and some very small sections have been removed in order to protect certain projects which are not yet manifest. Love adresses me in my full first name which i will not be using on this site, I have changed it to one of my nicknames: Page.

 

Dear Love,

            I thought about what you said and you’re right, I need to have more faith in myself and my instincts and intuition. I’m sitting at my computer now and typing away. I think perhaps the reason I was feeling such self-doubt was perhaps the environment I was in.

 

That would be blaming others for something which is entirely up to you. If you truly have faith in yourself and your abilities, it will not matter, it will make no difference what environment you’re in or who you are with.

 

You’re right. I’m just lying to myself. I am still rather insecure. I just ignore that as much as I can.

 

That’s interesting. To ignore it and slowly weed it out of your behavioral patterns or your thought process would be beneficial. I think that’s what you tell yourself you are doing. But this is more like repression, isn’t it? What would be more effective would be to remain conscious of thoughts of futility (yes I refer to the tarot card you keep pulling during whole person spreads and glossing over) and realize when they arise and look at them honestly as you tend to do rather fearlessly with other thoughts. You deal with your anger quite honestly and this is why you rarely have to deal with this. Because you remain fully honest to yourself. That is the best thing that you can do.

 

I just like to pretend I’m no longer who I was. I used to have absolutely no faith in myself. I want to move as far away from that as possible.

 

I’ve just told you how to do that. And you already have really. You don’t have to be concerned with this. You really do tend to over analyze things you know? It’s been said that that’s both a gift and a curse. There, now you’re questioning your intelligence again. Why do you do that? Come on.

 

Okay! You asked me this while I was walking home, I answered you then why do I have to write it

 

You like to have things in writing, and with a realization with this I don’t want you pushing it aside. You’ve got to prove to me that you’re willing to be completely honest with yourself on this subject before I’ll let you be content with simply answering me in your head. No this is not a split personality…stop questioning your own sanity. It’s not healthy.

 

Oh hush. I had no idea you’d be so snarky.

 

Well, Love is a part of you as it is a part of All Things. YOU happen to be rather snarky. I speak to you in a way that I know you will respond to. We need to make progress. No not need…I say this because you yourself want to make progress….I know I need to push you to get where you say you want to go. I know you. This all comes back to what I want you to say. You may be able to distract and divert others but it won’t work with me. Say it.

 

Okay.

 

No, don’t go back and spell check things, you’re a procrastinator. Stop it. Answer my question right here, right now, just do it.

 

Fine. I associate intelligence with speed because of my childhood. When I didn’t have the answer in class it was because I had to think at a different pace, I thought slower than the other children and the teachers and the class weren’t willing to allow me that time, they assumed I just didn’t get it when really….i just had a different process. They called me slow…but the meaning behind this word came through loud and clear…they thought I was stupid, less intelligent. So I began to associate my own thought process and it’s slower speed with stupidity. Slow = stupid fast=intelligent. It’s a very basic association but very powerful. And you’re right…it is still in effect to some degree presently.

 

To some degree? You’re only pleased with yourself truly when you get something done quickly. You’re still judging and comparing yourself to others and their process….which you consciously realize to be different than your own. You need to allow yourself your own speed. There, that’s better, if only by a little. Less urgency, you’re a bit more calm. You can speak to me at any pace you wish. I can talk a mile a minute if you wish me to or I can talk      just      like     this.

 

Cute…that long pause wasn’t sarcastic in the least.

 

Sarcasm, the humor of the sophisticated. As you say. Love is many things, hasn’t it often been sarcastic in your experience? Hasn’t it always been funny?

 

Well, yes, but painful too.

 

You’re thinking of Ned, the first love, yes?

 

Yes.

 

You know that was unhealthy.

 

Yes.

 

It doesn’t have to be like that, and it shouldn’t be like that, you know this. That is not a true expression of Love. Love is Free, what you experienced there was on some level Love yes, don’t ever doubt that….you did love each other very much and no one can take that or tell you that you were mistaken in your own experience. You both loved each other…but you also needed each other…and Love is not Need….they are complete opposites. I know you know this, but it helps to hear me say it doesn’t it?

 

Yes. I’ve just never hurt so much in my life. I felt like he was sucking out my soul, and I think he might have felt the same thing which makes me feel terrible.

 

It was an abusive situation. And it took a great deal of strength gathered slowly and in the shadows in secret to finally leave him. I’m happy that you found that strength or we could not be freely speaking to each other. And you could not be feeling what you are feeling and have been feeling lately.

 

Oh hush. I don’t want to talk about it.

 

Yes, you do. Don’t even think about it!

 

Oh fine…whatever….

 

What a graceful submission my dear, you’re learning.

 

I find you somewhat irritating you know.

 

I know you’re holding back a smile, yes, there it is. Don’t lie, there, a grin. Now we’re getting somewhere. You know you really want to talk about it because that’s one of the classic symptoms my dear…the urge to shout it from the rooftops…all in good time….now you feel badly whenever you speak of him to others because you fear that you are boring or irritating them with your feelings and your constant need to express them. They find it adorable, to be honest…they so rarely get to see you in such a state…that doesn’t mean they want to hear about it all the time as you’re aware….but for the most part I assure you they find it quite amusing when you speak of him and your feelings for him.

 

Oh, I’m amusing….what a comfort.

 

Better than being irritating, yes? Don’t roll your eyes. Yes?

 

I guess.

 

Once again, how graceful of you. You’re doing it again, you call me snarky?

 

Are all our conversations going to break down into this sniping?

 

Only if you want them to my dear, just accept that all this is coming from a higher source…I think it’s nice you feel you can speak to me this way. Even if on some level you still feel nervous and doubtful, you adapt easily and create a new comfort zone quite quickly and easily.

 

I feel like I’m sitting here complimenting myself.

 

And so what if you are, you really don’t do it enough. Oh fine I won’t start, you’re obviously not ready to go there yet. But be warned, I’ll sneak compliments in every so often…you need them. No matter what you tell yourself you really do have a self esteem problem. Lets put it down to all your unhealthy relationships.

 

Thanks. That’s flattering.

 

Not meant to be taken that way! Remember, everything you’ve experienced you gave to yourself, and I gave to you in order for you to remember exactly what you have, in order to put you exactly where you are speaking to me and wondering what on earth is possessing you to do so.

 

Why did you come to me the way you did?

 

You’re referring to the dream I assume, because I’ve always been with you, you know that. You’ve never been without Love, you never will be. I’m always here, there, everywhere.

 

Beatles fan?

 

All you need is Me. Truth indeed.

 

Quite a high opinion of yourself I see

 

My dear, one of the biggest problems in Loving relationships is that neither partner thinks as highly of themselves as they should. Going into a partnership without any self worth, any self value is asking too much of the other individual. You’re asking them to make you see that you’re worth it…and that’s just not possible. That’s a realization that needs to come completely from within the self. You know all this.

 

This feels like a dance, I take a step you take a step. I say something I know will get you to say something…you do the same.

 

Then you know I’m just going to whisk you right back to where we were.

 

Him.

 

Oh, no names hm? Thinking of….oh all right…I won’t say that. Good, still smiling, I like that. Your court dear, spill it….for now think of me as one of the girls, give me all the juicy details.

 

It’s sort of hard to think of you as one of the girls…since you showed up in masculine form…whenever you start talking like one I feel like I’m talking to a gay man.

 

Love comes in all forms, you know that…hey, if it makes you even more comfortable…fine, think of me as a gay man!

 

But that’s weird!

 

Because I took his form in the dream? Darling does he have ruddy great white wings? You don’t actually know what colour his aura is. It might not be that colour, you could have just dreamed it, you’ve never seen it.

 

But I did see it. In the dream.

 

There. Sticking up for yourself. I like it. That’s better.

 

But was it you or was it him?

 

What’s the difference?

 

For one…no he doesn’t have wings…and I can’t really see him saying “my dear” and “darling” to me…oh this is so strange, now I’m picturing him in tight leather pants swishing around with the floppy wrists. That’s just too ridiculous for words.

 

I’m all about keeping it light. If that’s what you need, that’s what you shall have. You know the rest.

 

I don’t want to go there yet.

 

That’s just fine. Tell me. Tell me about the dream. Tell me about how you claim to want to end separation on earth and then have this hang up on whether it was him, me, you, Tim Allen…does it matter?

 

Tim Allen? Really?

 

Honestly, does it matter?

 

No.

 

There, that’s better, you’re getting a hang of the whole complete honesty thing. When you twist it up with sarcasm in your own mind to the degree that you usually do you’re just losing it. Save your lovely wit for others, confuse them all you want if you feel it serves your higher purpose…but please, if we are going to have open and honest discussions…you need to be extremely brutally honest with yourself.

 

I’m not going to need therapy anymore…you’re like a shrink all by yourself. That’s great, I won’t need to pay for sessions anymore, or do the insurance dance.

 

Well, I know you’re just joking and that you know continuing therapy would be beneficial so I won’t take you seriously. But yes, Love heals all, mind, body, soul. But you know what I want you to realize next don’t you?

 

Self Love needs to be the specific incarnation of love to do a lot of that. If someone is in a place where they desire to give you those gifts…that’s beautiful. But you should never rely upon others to heal you with their Love…heal yourself.

 

Very good. That’s not to say that it’s an every man for himself sort of deal. Not at all. If you are ever truly in need, I will be there for you, somehow, some way. I’ll find a way to give you what you feel you require. Have no fear, only faith in me. I will always be there for you, even if you are in a place so dark you can’t see me. I’m there. What I’m saying is that, whenever possible…

 

Love myself?

 

Yes. And after a while you will have a very hard time forgetting how.

 

This is why I’m so far away from him isn’t it? So I could realize I’m not as completely healed as I tried to convince myself I was.

 

You have a very hard time being vulnerable, don’t you? You always have. You have this need to be completely in control. Not necessarily of what’s around you, you can cope with chaos. You’re no stranger to it…but you have a need to be always in control of yourself.

 

Isn’t that a good thing?

 

Mindfulness is one thing Page. Repression is another entirely. Don’t feel hurt when I say this. You are as you believe yourself to be, a very free and open person. That’s not a lie you’ve been telling yourself. It’s very much true. But there are parts of yourself you feel aren’t appropriate, parts of yourself you feel guilty about expressing. You feel it’s your job to always be the calm and collected one. The situation you just came out of with your roommates is the most recent and possibly one of the best examples. You never fell apart. You were in just as dark a place as Natalie was…but you never allowed yourself to lose it. You didn’t cry, you didn’t scream or shout, or even tell any of them when they were driving you crazy. Until the end of course when you finally realized that by allowing it to continue you were doing yourself damage. You kept saying “it’s my job” who do you feel gave you this job? I’m rather curious.

 

I don’t know, God, the Universe…You basically.

 

Well, lets settle this right now. I didn’t give you any such job. You chose your own jobs, you create them. When we agree on something we agree with each other completely. Right now we are not in agreement. If we were you would not feel a little bit of resentment or obligation or irritation whenever you said “it’s my job” if we were in complete agreement you would feel only Love and Joy when you said those words. I would like you to explore this some more. Why did you give yourself this job? Why did you feel you had to? I will also tell you that it is all right to express frustration, it is not wrong or bad to fall apart every so often. I don’t care if you are an advanced being….it’s ok to cry. Freaking out every so often doesn’t mean you’re out of touch with the Divine, that’s impossible. When you finally freaked out and went to the Housing director…did you feel that you were without God? That you were not in the presence of Love?

 

No. I was surprised afterwards actually. I stayed respectful and apologetic throughout the entire experience. I was almost hyperventilating but I was still telling him that I was sorry If anything I said was offensive and that I wasn’t in my right mind.

 

Nothing you said was offensive. You know that. He even told you that and kept telling you that while you kept apologizing.

 

I can’t even have a break down properly!?

 

That’s not what I’m saying and you know it. While the fact that you kept apologizing for the completely valid way that you were feeling isn’t great….you should really work on that…what I’m pointing out is that while you lost your cool, you were still you and you were still in control on some level. You didn’t act in a way that didn’t resonate with who you are as a person. You were respectful and considerate and polite…if a bit twitchy about it…

 

So I can freak out?

 

Of course! You should express yourself more often and more openly! FREELY you are a free being with free will. I know you feel that when you swear or curse it means you are not being mindful. That’s true…I’m not speaking of when someone does something that “pisses you off” those are as you realize…opportunities to practice mindfulness and loving compassion. They should be taken as often as possible. But when you recognize that you are in a situation that is harmful to you, that is doing you damage…that doesn’t mean that you are being selfish or that you aren’t being compassionate. You’ve only just started to realize this and it’s about time. You need to treat yourself with compassion as well. It might help you to do the same sort of thing that others try to do in order to practice compassion to others. They try placing themselves in another person’s place. Whenever you feel the need, I would like you to try displacing yourself and thinking of yourself as another person entirely. You seem to have a much easier time thinking of others well-being than your own and while that’s beautiful in it’s own way. I’m going to need you to learn how to take care of yourself if you’re going to do what you say you wish to do in the world. Start asking yourself, “ If I were someone else, would I be comfortable with this happening to this other person?” Think about it. If someone else had come to you and explained to you that she was having the problem you were with her roommates but that she felt she had to stay because those roommates depended on her and needed her to take care of them and be their mother…knowing that she had just been through what you have….honestly….what would you have told her?

 

I would have told her that it wasn’t her job.

 

Exactly.

 

I would have told her that the situation was unhealthy and unfair and that she needed to leave and take care of herself. That if she gives till she has nothing left…well then she can’t keep on giving…

 

That’s very true, and I know that’s what you enjoy. You love giving to those around you…you love it so much you don’t know when to stop. I would like you to start noticing this about yourself and listening to your instincts. They tell you when to stop, when to say no, and you ignore them because you believe yourself to be a selfish being that must transform itself into a selfless being. I tell you now because while you’ve realized this you wish me to tell you (though I told you in the first place) you are a selfless being Page. You are a beautiful selfless being and always have been. But You’re going to have to have a little self, just a little…in order to do what you say you want to with this life.

 

Okay. Thank you.

 

Good. Better. That was actually graceful, no sarcasm this time. Much better. I know it must have hurt. Good, smile. It’s funny, I’m funny.

 

I like you.

 

You must mean you love me because it would be silly to only like Love.

 

Oh fine, I love you.

 

Hmmm, issues there. We’ll have to work on those words. They shouldn’t have a dart of fear or pain following so closely after them…or at all…and don’t think I didn’t notice that you avoided discussing you-know-who this time around. We’ll talk about “him” later. That’s a promise.

 

You’re leaving now?

 

I’m always here, don’t forget that.

 

I know I just mean, we’re finished? For the night at least?

 

You’re sick and you should rest. You’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow too. And now that I’ve got you listening to me again I think you’ll find it’ll be a bit harder to ignore me. Don’t be surprised if procrastination gets a bit harder….no need to thank me…go get some sleep now. We both know who you’ll be dreaming of.

 

Oh shut up, and no I don’t. Is it you? or him? or God or what the hell?

 

As you say so often, “can’t it be both?” and I think you’ll know when it’s “me” and when it’s “him

 

Oh! Wait! I got it! You took his form because he’s….oh shit….really?

 

Well, go ahead, finish your thought. It’s a good one.

 

Are you serious?

 

Are you?

 

So you took his form because….i can’t even say this….i feel like I’m projecting my own desires onto this poor poor man…

 

Remember that this was a dream you had before you even met him…

 

Ok, yes. Ok. So you took his form because he’ll end up being the closest experience of pure love within this life?

 

Perhaps.

 

Oh come ON!

 

That’s one thought, and it’s a good one…there will be other thoughts…and I’ll leave room for them as well. Go. To. Sleep.

 

Fine. Goodnight….um…what should I call you.

 

You’ve already decided that.

 

Good night Love.

 

Good night Page.
