Simply Love

If we don't think we are made of love, we must pretend that we are lovable in order to possess another person. If we know we are made of love through and through, no posturing is necessary. No manipulation, no strategizing, no tensing. The love within us is then free to act naturally.

The need to control ourselves and others comes from fear and assumptions of worthlessness. Our will is naturally loving, but if we assume otherwise, we will work very hard to cover up our will, which we have assumed to be unloving. That initial assumption is the critical point. No amount of rationalization or cover-ups can hide our original belief, whether we think we are made of love or not.

I just really learned this recently from experience and am only beginning to heal parts of my psyche that still hold on to shame and guilt.
