Research has shown that even if we were beaten or vastly underfed as children, we still love our parents deep within. This love is deeper than emotional love or any idea about love. Love for our parents exists within the Heart Presence of each of us. No matter what the relationship has been, this love will always be there.
Our love for our parents is absolutely reliable. It helps us stay centered, steady, and flexible.
However, accessing our love for our parents does require a sacrifice. We must be willing to put aside any mental and emotional conflicts we may be carrying regarding them. Whatever anyone did or did not do or give—the stuff the average ego likes to dabble in–is completely irrelevant here. What we are after is the greater Love and the consistency it adds to our lives.
Consistency is particularly important in today’s world, where there is so much change and uncertainty. Navigating such pervasive uncertainty requires that we include in our moment-to-moment existence as much certainty as we can find.
Recently, I brought this perspective to some of my monthly phone groups where, among other things, I have been helping the participants awaken Heart Presence (authentic self, Christ within, Buddha nature). As a step toward the even greater awakening, I guided each person in these groups to find the love for his or her parents.
Here is some of their feedback. I’m hoping that their experiences will inspire your learning and help you recognize the territory as you find it in yourself:
“I’m in a deep, open place that feels like God.”
“I feel myself being bigger and bigger, more secure in some new way.”
“I now know that they [my parents] are always there. I’ve always feared that when they died they would be gone.”
“I’m in this vastness of interconnection.”
“I saw all sides of the universe.”
“I’m in a deep state of knowing that is not on the mental level.”
“I’m in this feeling of being connected to a larger universe, and my parents are here as well. Such freedom.”
“This is such great joy. I feel free of the resentment toward them [my parents] that I’ve been dragging around for years. Wow…, wow, I am this joy.”
Reread the above quotes again and imagine the strength, steadiness, consistency and love that these people have added to their lives.
I hope you will spend some time finding your love for your parents. Choose, ask, or pray for it. Take some time in a quiet environment and search. Often. Resting a hand against your mid-chest will help you relax and explore. Deep within you know you want this.
The writing above conveys aspects of the following Advanced Capacities: Heart Presence, Connection, Creation, Clear Mind and Extra-Ordinary Perception.
