Rising In Love

"Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love- now you are love." - Osho

We are all taught about romantic love with the phrase “falling in love.” We are also taught that the same way we can fall in love, we can fall out of love. This mindset around love has felt limiting to me, so I sat with it and asked- is it true?

In my mind's eye I saw an image of someone falling. As they fell they landed in a room with four solid walls. At first being in that room gave a feeling of perfect love and completeness. It gave protection from the world, a safe space, and the feeling of trust and predictability. The room looked and felt beautiful to the person standing inside.

But over time, the walls became limiting, the person inside started to feel trapped, and a resentment for the walls grew. I watched the person inside start seeking a way out. The feeling of love from inside the room had been an illusion that initially filled the desire for love, safety and trust, but eventually felt like a prison.

Then a door appeared. I could feel this person’s excitement for a way out, and fear to leave what was familiar. Eventually this person opened the door and found 2 options.

One option was to go into another room. This new room looked even better than the last room. After being in a room previously, there was a pull toward the new room because there was a familiarity to being in a room. The person thought, “it wasn’t being in a room that was bad, it was being in THAT room that was bad.”

Just before choosing to “fall” again into a new room, I heard a voice say to this person “RISE, don't fall.”

A new door appeared. The note on the door read...

“Freedom.”

Behind this door was every fear, painful experience, trauma and limiting belief this person had ever experienced. The choice was to either fall into the new room and repeat the same cycles and patters from the past,

OR,

have the courage to unlock what they had been avoiding for years, to be set free from falling into rooms, and receive what they truly wanted- freedom, love and inner peace.

I felt the agony in this person. Choosing the door to their freedom was TERRIFYING, because it was completely unknown.

In a flash moment of clarity this person choose the ancient door. As it opened every provision started appearing as needed for their journey to freedom.

Along the path were dragons, snakes, spiders, and some wolves in sheep’s clothing. With each fearful and painful encounter the person was able to gradually make peace with each creature and occurrence and be free from all fear of crossing paths with it again.

As this person overcame each obstacle, I watched every limiting belief and trapped or suppressed, low-vibe energy leave them, and then each missing piece to their soul fall back in place in the space that was opening up inside of them.

Eventually, this person started coming across other people walking the same path. Before long the path became a typical street in a city- there were no more rooms to choose or dragons to battle, it was a regular day in a regular city.

This person was now ready to truly be of service to the world. There was no longer any interest in finding someone to “fall in love” with, only an intention to “rise in love” with the soul that was a Divine reflection of their soul's blueprint, and to connect with those who had also walked through the ancient doorway.

Being whole and complete, there was no need for the four walls of a room to help them feel safe and loved, this person felt safe from the inside out because they trusted themselves and now knew who they were and the power of consciousness and creation within them.

As the vision in my mind faded I could see what was true about falling in love. It is limiting and temporary- a construct of the ego to fill a void within we’ve been programmed and conditioned to believe we have.

The path of self-actualization- of connecting with the truth of who we are and letting go of all of the conditioning and emotions that block us from feeling free- can be hard to choose because it’s unchartered territory to our mind. Our ego will kick, scream and fight, convincing us that going through the ancient door will be the end of us. And, nothing could be farther from the truth.

For anyone looking to rise in love and experience true freedom, I invite you to check out my offerings and see if any of them resonate with you.

Because we all are here to feel complete love and freedom.

I look forward to connecting with you.
