Real Love

The WISDOM podcast   Season 2  Episode 25

with Dorothy Ratusny

 

 

In this episode, we dive into the many reasons why you need love; why we all go in search of it; why it becomes a deliberate focus and calling; and how it enables you to thrive; that you might step out into the world each day, knowing with certainty, that someone; that others - have your back; that you are cared for and important, and that your life matters.

Real love is different from what you typically think of when speaking about romantic or familial love.

Real love is the unconditional and continuous flow of unquestionable care; (care meaning that you care about the other person’s well being and that you hold empathy and compassion towards them for situations that may cause them to suffer); that you are kind, considerate, non-judgmental; that you are respective, forgiving (that is... not allowing someone to continue to hurt you and cause harm, but forgiving as you retain healthy boundaries and choices that honour your needs and safety); and acceptance; of validating the worth of another through your appreciation and encouragement of them because within them exists the same possibility and potential that exists within you.

The idea that we can love another human being or any living being without conditions means that another person is not required to be or do exactly as what we decide they should (or ought to). Real love is the ability to honour the goodness of another; their perfect inner nature and their ability to be love in action.

 

You can provide perspective, insight and honesty to another to help them on their journey; but with the understanding that they must rise up to live as their highest self by their own free will choice.

This means finding the good in those that you have easily found fault with or who have let you down; or who have willingly harmed you by their words or actions.  That's quite a lot to ask of our self; to hold loving kindness towards another whom we may not even like.

 

In this way, love is love of the present aspects of another; it is love of humanity because we all have the capacity for goodness (even if we do not always choose this). We all have the free will choice that brings us into a state of heightened awareness and to act from this conscious and inspired state that seeks to do the right thing; to live just and honourably because that is how we ultimately feel at our best.

Witness the generosity of your spirit; that you, that each one of us is capable of; to see the good in another even as we may also witness what inner struggles and uncertainty they may also hold.

How you do this is through your conscious decision to love all living beings for their goodness; and to be willing to see the good in others even when at that very moment, they are not acting of their good.

 

“We all have the ability to live as love; as love in action.  It begins with a choice.  You must decide it.”
