All you need is love.
The song isn’t ‘All you need is sex’.
In the west, we tend to confuse love and intimacy and sex. Many of us never learn how to have loving, intimate relationships outside of our sexual relationships… or even inside of them. Our relationships tend to stem from a lack of and a desperate need for love, for ourselves and others, rather than from true love and lovingness. It spins into an endless cycle of seeking, wanting, feeling unfulfilled, and trying to fill up from an empty well.
I have noticed that Nepal is a very intimate yet not a very sexual culture. Everyone is intimate, physically and emotionally and in every other way, with everyone else, but sex is only reserved for very special relationships. There is a concept here called vasana, which is desire, it means a smell you want to taste. There is vasana in all forms of intimacy. We are all always seeking it. But it isn’t and shouldn’t always be sexual.
My friend taught me a practice that she practices with everyone. She said if we stare into each other’s eyes and call each other’s name with all of our love for five minutes, we will fall in love. And we can transform that love energy into whatever type of love we want it to be. This tends to end with us telling each other the highest, most loving truth.
Also, in Nepal there isn’t the notion of personal space, and everyone comes uncomfortably close and bursts my space bubble. And being on the bus is like being in a sardine can.
It seems like in the East there is a hive mind. There isn’t separateness. There is oneness and unity.
In the west, we build bubbles and walls, outside of ourselves and inside of ourselves.
In these matrixes, the morphic fields feel very different, and people seem to be resonating at different frequencies.
We just need to tune ourselves.
And once one bubble bursts, they all burst.
What you give comes back to you. Guru Aama gives love to everyone and everyone loves her.
When we are loved, we become love, and we can become a lover. Love, loved, lover… or loved, love, lover. It’s hard to say what comes first, being love or being loved.
It’s a cycle. And we all have access to it and can jump in even when the wheel is already turning.
We all need to love and be loved
And when we filled ourselves up
We can let love flow through our body
In a crude artistic expression
And see the reflection
Of our own energy
#Burst your bubble
