As it was Valentine’s Day just two days before the February 'The Bodhi Tree' Show, on the show I talked about Love.
You can listen to the replay on the Beagle Radio podcast or on Soundcloud at thebodhitree88-1.
There's so much cynicism about Valentines Day these days with a negative focus on it just being a commercial gimmick and money spinner and some people thinking why does it need a particular day to let someone know you Love them. Well, it doesn’t, Love is eternal.
So let’s look past the negativity around Valentine’s Day and focus on the true essence of it.. a day when someone can let a secret love know they have feelings for them, or to demonstrate romantic Love to a significant other…
But also to see it as a special day to express platonic Love, Loving gratitude, compassion and random acts of Love infused kindness, unconditional Love.
And this is for everyone…. in all the different time zones all throughout the world.
So when we focus on that.. it brings about a 24 hour concentrated global collective consciousness and celebration of LOVE. And the world needs more of that... Raising the frequency and vibration of Love has got be a good thing
For that reason I’m a big fan of Valentine’s Day and an even bigger fan of Love.
So sit back, breathe deeply, open your heart and let’s explore the depths of Love as we journey into the spirituality of Love that heals, transforms, uplifts, awakens the heart and reflect on the sacred nature of Love in its divine essence.
When it comes to Romantic Love, love is a spontaneous feeling beyond our control, we can’t choose who we fall in Love with, Love chooses us. Love is more than an emotion, more than words, more than gestures, more than a feeling.
It’s the very essence of our humanness and the most divine force in the universe. A force that transcends time and space. A sacred energy that flows through all of existence.
Love is often spoken of AS a feeling, but in truth, love is a spiritual energy, one that flows from the Divine and moves through all of creation. Many spiritual traditions teach that love is the highest vibration.
When we love, we align ourselves with this sacred force, becoming vessels of peace, kindness, and grace. Whether it’s romantic love, or platonic Love, each expression of love is a reflection of the Divine within us all.
Love is not something we need to chase, because it’s already within us, waiting to be recognized. It is the light behind our eyes, the warmth in our hearts and hugs, and the stillness we find in moments of deep connection.
At its highest vibration, love is divine energy—it is the very breath of creation. When we experience love in its purest form, we are touching the sacred, the infinite, the unnamable source of all existence. The thread….. that weaves the tapestry of life, uniting all souls and reminding us of our interconnectedness.
Platonic Love which is deep emotional and spiritual connections without sexual involvement emphasise mutual respect and understanding. A heightened level of consciousness enables us to appreciate the intrinsic value of such relationships, fostering bonds based on shared interests, compassion, empathy and personal growth, all nurturing the unique dynamics that define platonic connections.
When we truly love, we are we are revealing the truth of who we truly are. Love is our natural state. It is the bridge between the human and the divine.
Unconditional Love is offering steadfast understanding, acceptance, affection and support without expecting anything in return, transcending personal biases and judgments and fostering Love at the deepest of levels.
Love is not just something that happens to us—it is something we become.
When we love deeply and selflessly, we dissolve ego, fear, and separation. Love invites us to surrender, to trust, and to embrace the present moment with an open heart.
Love has the power to transform… ourselves and the world around us. It opens doors within that we never knew existed. When we surrender to love—not just in relationships, but in life itself—we begin to move in harmony with the universe. We start to see the divine in all things: in the eyes of a stranger, in the rustling of the trees, in the silence between our thoughts.
Love holds the power to heal. Have you ever noticed how being in a state of love makes everything seem more bearable, easier, happier and more beautiful?
It’s through love that we find the strength to reflect, to accept, to forgive, to grow, and to transcend the limitations of the ego.
It is through unconditional love and selfless service that we dissolve the illusion of separation and experience unity.
This is because love shifts our consciousness.
True love is not attachment—it’s freedom. It teaches us patience, compassion, and the art of surrender.
Love is the sacred fire that burns away all illusion, leaving only the purity of the soul.
When we love deeply—not just with the heart, but with the soul—it is then that we dissolve the illusion of separation. We begin to understand that love is not something ‘out there’ waiting for us. Love is what we are made of.
The more we let go of fear and step into love, the more we align with the divine.
It is in loving fearlessly, in surrendering fully, that we find true freedom. And in that freedom, we find ourselves.
This is why many wisdom traditions honour love as a direct and sacred path to enlightenment.
Love is something we embody—a state of being that leads us closer to spiritual illumination.
Most of all, Love teaches us that we are never truly separate from anything or anyone.
Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don't know it. Love has its own intelligence. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.
So by embracing love, we open the door to profound healing, transformation and spiritual awakening.
To live in love is to live in truth.
So Love is not something outside of us, it is within us. It is the all-pervasive force of the universe, the very fabric of who we are and the essence of our being.
The more we live in the frequency of love, the more we radiate peace, joy, and harmony.
