The Beginning of Love

I’ve kept journals for many years. At times I have a ceremonial burning as a way to release the past but some times I review entries to gain insight. Such was the case after a week-long house organizing and cleaning expedition that ended with reading of an entry from April 23, 2013.

In that entry, from over a year ago, I recorded insight gained at a perceived ‘problem.’ I was having difficulty moving forward after a long-term relationship and had a bodywork session with a gifted practitioner. In the session I had a clear vision that incorporated symbols to which I am strongly connected.

This is what I experienced: I was in the Ocean and a huge whale swam up to me and echo-located me, totally scanning me. He was in danger from harpoons and huge nets from a processing ship. He was willing to be caught and used and allowed people to take bits and pieces of him. I jumped between him and tried to save him–so magnificent and beautiful was he. But in my diligence, I didn’t see the huge ship that struck my massive whale body. It broke me. And my body sank.

I realized in that moment of death that the essence of who I am lived on. I also knew that it was love that drew me to him and love that kept me there…and love that blocked the ship and kept it from breaking him. And in that moment, when my spirit was free from my body, I knew that love was the only force on this planet…and that only when we block love does evil arise.

Whale song filled my mind as I ‘saw’ these images and gained understanding. I felt total peace and as I opened myself to love, all fear disappeared.

After that experience I had several realizations–Love is everything…in everything and always available. We live in an Ocean of Love. An abundant world. Ego tries to box it all in and hold it and keep safe. Love is flow. Love is movement. Love simply…IS.

Feeling the immensity of the Ocean of Love and my big, gigantic ‘whale’ heart, I can channel huge amounts of love. The only thing that separates us from Love is our mind, our thoughts.

As I breathe in, love fills me. When I feel alone it is because I forget that love is abundant and available.
