Preventing the Death of Joy & Pleasure

3/14/2020

The field of love contains the totality of what is life and death, pleasure and pain and joy and sadness.  Our bodies, hearts and minds can be held, nourished, cared for and supported by this field of love.  Suffering occurs when we are cut off from love and enter into a field of fear and separation.  In this field life becomes positioned in opposition to death.  Pain is set up as being a threat to pleasure, and sadness a threat to joy.  One becomes the enemy to avoid, protect against, push away, reject and deny.  We try to prevent death, pain and sadness and cling to life, pleasure and joy.  Or, in modern day humanity we're conditioned to be on the side of life, pain and sadness and trained to keep away death, pleasure and joy.  Pleasure, joy and death is a threat to what's considered to be most real, which is life, sadness and pain.  It's okay to want or hope for pleasure and joy, but not to have it.

Here and now we have the choice to become reacquainted with the field of love.  We can acknowledge that pleasure is not opposed to pain, life is not opposed to death and joy is not opposed to sadness.  As this separation and polarization is un-done and clear seeing returns, we can become that which includes all of it.  As our hearts, bodies and minds are liberated from suffering we become capable of embracing what we've been conditioned to not embrace, which is joy, pleasure and death.  Death is as important to the well-being of our bodies as life.  Every day cells die and new cells are made.  The cells of our immune system engulf those cells that pose harm to the well-being of the body.  The death of beliefs that cause harm to self or others can enrich life, and liberate our minds so we're no longer tortured and tormented by self-hate.  In the field of love, pleasure is not objectified, it is fully embraced, seen, felt, sensed and known.  In this field of love, Joy has the space and freedom to circulate, nourish, and bless all that is.  As we are resourced, we can also accommodate for the reality of pain and sadness.  It is not excluded or denied, just as pleasure and joy are not excluded or denied.

I welcome you to acknowledge the field and frequency of love, that contains the totality of what is.  As the totality is contained within the embrace of the Self, fear and separation can be seen for what it is.  It is a part of the human condition.  It is here to be met within us and within the world.  As it's met within us from this field and frequency of love it may spontaneously shift, change, transform, dissolve, or show up differently.  A few days ago I re-posted a meditation I recorded over a year ago called, Meeting Fear from Love.  It's quite stunning if you'd like to listen to it.  I'll add it to the bottom of this blog.  Here and now we can deepen our capacity to meet life, death, joy, sadness, pleasure and pain from Love.  All can be met, seen, felt and included.  And as the spaciousness of Being is known, joy and pleasure can be chosen, as a source of learning and growth.  Just as sadness and pain is a source of learning and growth.  As our perception of this field of love is strengthened, love can truly become the teacher, in and through all polarity.  Is now the time?
