Love Enlightenment?
There was a moment where I always thought true love enlightenment was not possible except through love in a relationship between a man and a woman, thoughts like Isn’t this what makes us whole again? How can one’s life be fulfilled until love happens? Would I find God through a partner?
My journey began with love when I was young boy finding my religious upbringing with this understanding, I had this beautiful way of being strict with myself on what I though back then was correct to myself. Friends with other gender wasn’t possible in my young mind, I was in conflict of what and whom love was for and meant for. I became lost in arbitrary obsession or infatuation with the ideas the possibility of love was one dimensional — which was conflicting with my day to day encouragement of school ‘friends.’ With this mentality I notice any occurrences, one that spoken most to my transition into no labels lifestyle was how each of my friends became attractive to me, I found myself having innocent feelings or crushes, however due to my quite than large standards of what love was I would reject and push away endless alternatives for the fact that my love enlightenment was for one person only, not many. Slowly came to realize how love is indeed in fact meant for all, it for all not just for one person, as such my transition I began to unlearn the pattern of my youth to find what be enlighten in love meant!
In the present time, writing my piece this song “Take your Time” From the Album Two Thousand and Ten Injuries by Love is All started to play, the thoughts of love filled my lungs full of care, compassion with longing to sit by a bench in a park, feeding pigeon, walking outside as the sun embraces the skin, wrapping a hug as its a brand rising of adventure.

Living each new day with no Labels, feelings exactly like this. Freedom. Love is vast and everywhere, having for myself no structure to hold me down to belief I’m not worthy enough, when In reality I’m actually never too much.
In the words of Eckhart Tolle The Author of Power of now, one of his quotes states “Salvation is not elsewhere in place or time. It is here and now.” Long are the days where I felt in loving conflict with a ‘friend’ where I didn’t know I could give a hug, or hold hands, or be intimate with them because of a young mindset — reasoning “a friend is friend.” Replacing it whom I love is fully capable of receiving all of me, all my love in every way, in every manner in various way of the space we do share, how we both in together is our dance putting an idea to the ecosystem that is building puts a table in-between the connection — putting lines like countries borders in places that didn’t need to be as well as places that didn’t exist before.
I will end this blog post with a Thank You and gratitude in my approach in speaking about my philosophy and way of life for these past two years, Today I leave with a question if there was a moment to bring up any relationship with anyone you hold dear and probably haven’t spoken to in a while, how would have your relationship alter if you there wasn’t an idea place on the ecosystem you hold with them? What would happen? and would this achieve a Enlightenment in Love if there no borders place between you two (or three or four individuals) ?
