The essence of the Quality of Love that we all posses is something deeper; it comes from the Aramaic word, Karma . a universal love that declares, .I love you because it is my nature to love.. You do not have to change for me to practice unconditional love and goodwill in both thought and action. Love – THE FEELING – is a fruit of love, the verb. The fruit of the action we take because of our very nature is what creates love; it’s the decision to love, not waiting for it to happen to you. That’s
what most of us do, we wait for love to come, rather than know that love is who we already are.
So, unconditional type of love, when it sees something unlike itself, looks past it. It can go beyond because this Love seeks the highest good. This is the kind of love that seeks the best out of each person. Universal love doesn’t look at whether or not someone is worthy to be loved. We make all those judgments? Should I love this person or not? Do I think that they measure up? Are they really up to my standards here? What is that about? The innate quality of love says, .I don’t care what you do. I don’t
care who you are. I will love you. I will seek the best for you. I will seek the good things for you. I will seek to do the good things for your life. I will lift you up that will bless your life. I will make you a better person than you are. I want to make you better than you are.
Isn’t that what life does? Doesn’t life constantly call us to be more than we already are? No matter what’s happening in our life. What it is, is a constant call that says, I want more for you. I want to give you all I have. I want you to have the good. This is a love that seeks your good of another person and doesn’t count whether they deserve it. There’s nothing you can do to deserve love. Isn’t that good news? How many of us strive continually in order to deserve love? We think we have to do something; we
have to be something in order to be loved.
There’s a really beautiful illustration of this kind of love. When a woman in a certain African tribe knows she is pregnant, she goes out into the wilderness with a few friends and together they pray and meditate until they hear the song of the unborn child. They recognize that every soul that comes into this world has its own vibration that expresses its unique flavor and purpose. When the women attune to the song, they sing it out loud. Then they return to the tribe and teach it to everyone else.
When the child is born, the community gathers and sings the child’s song to him or her. Later, when the child enters education, the village gathers and chants the child’s song. When the child passes through the initiation to adulthood, the people again come together and sing. At the time of marriage, the person hears his or her song. Finally, when the soul is about to pass from this world, the family and friends gather at the person’s bed, just as they did at their birth, and they sing the person to the next
life.
In the African tribe there is one other occasion upon which the villagers sing to the child. If at any time during his or her life, the person commits a crime or an aberrant social act, the individual is called to the center of the village and the people in the community form a circle around them. Then they sing their song to them. The tribe recognizes that the correction for antisocial behavior is not punishment; it is love and the remembrance of identity.
The Law of Attraction comes into play – when you recognize your own song, you have no desire or need to do anything that would hurt another. That’s tapping into the quality of love that we are.
You may not have grown up in a tribe that sings your song to you at crucial life transitions, but life itself is always reminding you when you are in tune with yourself and when you are not. When you feel good, you are in vibrational harmony and the Law of Attraction says – what you are doing matches your song. When you feel awful, it doesn’t. It’s natural.
