The world is not
the source of feeling loved.
You are.
Within you, there’s a place
where boundless love originates;
The true and lasting kind.
If it’s not felt within you,
It only means you’ve deceived yourself,
And this deceived part of you
Is still attached to believing
That only the world can supply love,
Ignoring the truth that love can only be found within.
Now, let that sink in.
It’s time to remember where Real Love is.
Forget the notion that all your pain
Comes from the loss of a world’s dream
For dreams cannot love you.
They may seem to for a time,
But dreams and time are unstable at best.
Forget the unreal belief
that all your grief,
Comes from having gained love
But then betrayed you.
Remember the Wholeness of You
That is already Love
Independent of the world’s love
and its hateful demands and selfishness.
Remember the Hearts Happiness
Before the world “made” you happy.
Recognize this ever-present love
Flowing from your Authentic Self.
Do not stagnate any longer
in the grief-based story of you
Continuing to feel the pain of loss
And clinging to a worldly love
That can only make you suffer in the end.
Stop falsely believing
That outside love is required
And still needed
To bring you lasting happiness.
That kind of love is a lie.
Authentic Love never lies.
