To experience the love we have inside of us,
That we are made of,
We have to let it flow.
When we feel it and express it,
We multiply it.
The love we feel can have many levels of depth and complexity.
The way we love a flower feels different from the love we have for a partner.
But no matter what the object of our love is,
To be able to experience the purest kind of love,
We have to experience it without attachment,
Without our psychological structures triggering our karmic memory.
When we are completely in the present,
Love becomes the purest.
In very simple terms,
Karma is like the law of cause and effect,
Encompassing all other laws of the universe.
For humans,
This means that our experience and interaction in and with the world triggers past experiences in our subconsciousness.
These so-called karmic traces in turn affect our current experience.
When our experiences reach a certain level of discomfort and we don't want to deal with it,
They get pushed into our subconscious mind,
Where it can be triggered at a later time.
This is producing karmic traces.
To be able to lead a life with an uninterrupted flow of love,
We have to clean up our karma and straighten our psychological structures.
How can we train our minds to love?
How can we love without having our intelligence and our memory in our way?
Our focus must be pure and unprejudiced,
Something that can be trained by different kinds of meditations.
And we must train our love to be unconditional,
Something that we can do by increasing our understanding of our psychological structures.
We are now going to do the Be a Mother to the Ruled guided meditation.
Get seated in a comfortable position with your back straight.
Close your eyes and breathe in deeply.
Breathe out.
What does it feel like to feel love?
Remember a time that you felt unconditional love?
What does it feel like?
If it is directed to a person,
You want their happiness more than anything.
Love without limits?
Think about a being close to your heart.
Remember the moment that you felt the greatest amount of love for them.
Feel that.
The love that you felt is not just love that you felt for them,
It is love that you produced inside yourself.
Someone or something else triggered it,
But it is boundless and it awoke inside of you.
And ultimately,
It is limitless.
You can project that love onto anything you want.
You can love a person,
Your life,
Ice cream,
Music.
You can love your experience in this world.
Can you love everything?
How much love can you feel?
Breathe in and breathe out.
Love between human beings is always beautiful,
Whether you feel it for a parent,
A partner,
A friend or for a person who is just passing through your life.
Every love is beautiful.
A lot of people are saying that the greatest love that we can feel for other human beings is the love that we feel for our children.
It is the most responsible love,
The most caring and arguably the most complex.
Whether or not you have children,
Objectively consider what it is to feel immense love for a child.
Can you multiply that love?
Imagine that you have two children.
Feel what it is like to love them like a mother.
Forget about the stresses that these children would give you or the work you must perform to send them all to college.
Can you contain the love for these children in your heart?
What if you would have five children?
Is your heart big enough?
Imagine that you would have ten children.
Can you contain the love for all of them inside of you?
Even though you might not understand how to be able to love them right now experientially,
Could you intellectually comprehend loving them like a mother?
How could you love 50 or 100 children?
An entire kindergarten full?
It's getting more challenging every time.
What about if we include the kids' parents,
Siblings and their neighbors?
Could you love an entire town full of people as if you were their mother?
Could you theoretically be able to love everybody in the land?
Can you love people whom you ideologically oppose?
Can you include those who have little more than anger and hatred in their hearts?
Can you see beyond their psychological constructs?
And imagine that there is something inside of them which is exactly the same as you have inside of yourself?
And can you love that?
Is your heart big enough to love everybody on this planet?
Can you imagine loving everybody on this planet as a mother?
Are you willing to try?
Can you give love without desire,
Unattached to the outcome?
You tap into an unlimited source of powerful positive energy.
Imagining that you are like a mother to the world will help you make the right decision every time.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Open your eyes and spread your love wherever you go.
