The desire to love someone through and through and to be loved that
way in return, for a lifetime, burns in almost every heart. You might believe
that continuously creating love is an impossibly daunting task. Perhaps
you’ve been through painful unions before, and your heart is battered
and broken.
The desire to love someone through and through and to be loved that
way in return, for a lifetime, burns in almost every heart. Although we
are all truly worthy of such love, it is not something that will
usually happen by itself. A superb relationship, one that satisfies and
stimulates to the core, is an extraordinary accomplishment, comparable
to supreme achievement in realms of business, the arts, science, and
sports. Such relationships are rare not because people lack the
capacity for loving but because they don’t know how to make the shift
from falling in love to sustaining that love over many years by
creating and recreating it again and again.
You might believe
that continuously creating love is an impossibly daunting task. Perhaps
you’ve been through painful unions before, and your heart is battered
and broken. Or your present relationship, although comfortable, has
become just a little boring, stuck in a rut of mundane sameness. Then
again, you might be at the outset of a wondrous romance and only
slightly haunted by a niggling suspicion that your passion will
eventually fade. Whatever your present circumstances, do not allow
preconceptions and fears to impede your heart’s aspirations. Living a
lifelong, passionate, and intimate union is not a complicated
undertaking. On the contrary, it is quite simple and well within your
abilities. The fundamental requirement? Rediscover and reunite your
Four Freedoms: Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul. These Four Freedoms are the
essence of human nature, yours and everyone else’s.
THE FIRST FREEDOM: BODY
Awaken your senses. See, hear, smell, taste, and feel love. Know your
body as a divine temple of love, carrier of the Soul, manifestation of
God and Goddess. Become truly at home in your body, at ease and at
peace in your skin. Allow yourself to experience physical pleasure.
Feed yourself and all those around you with sublime, intimate, human
touch. You are your body. Your body is freedom. THE SECOND FREEDOM: MIND
There are no limits. All limits are self-imposed. Change thought from
your master to your powerful servant, a tool of your liberation. Turn
your thinking on, and turn it off, when you want to. You have the power
over what you think about. You also have the power over how you think
about what you think about.
THE THIRD FREEDOM: HEART
Heal your broken heart. Open your healed heart. Give and receive love
easily, naturally, spontaneously, and unconditionally. Discover your
lover within. Love yourself. Accept yourself. Forgive yourself. Know
that you are worthy of love. Acknowledge and welcome the love of
others. Dare to be the great lover you are. You are your heart. Your
heart is freedom. THE FOURTH FREEDOM: SOUL
Your body, mind, and heart are windows to your soul. Soul transcends
space and time. It is outside of cause and effect. Soul is complete and
perfect. When you communicate with your higher self, with God and
Goddess, you are communicating with Soul. Soul has your body, mind, and
heart within it. Soul is what you are. Your soul is part of the Soul.
Your soul is freedom.
