Cultivating Conscious Love in Everyday Life

The Universe is love, learn to see it everywhere

There are days the beauty of the world (and man’s creations — music, art, literature, etc.) overwhelms me and brings me to tears.

I really don’t understand how we can just live like this, destroying the planet and each other, when there is so much beauty and good here. Why can’t we as a society see this? See the beauty, the goodness?

Most of the love we feel, give, and receive is conditional. Thus, conscious love can sometimes be difficult to comprehend. I think of it as pure love and a spark. I hope that helps.

I know what you’re thinking: Boring. But give this one a chance. It may change your life just as it changed mine.

The trick is to go outside in nature and see things as if you were seeing them for the first time. Forget the words you know for the things you see. Don’t think tree. Experience it with your…
