Where is the Love in the Moment?

Where is the Love in the Moment?
 
For years and years I read that phase and had no real idea what it meant.  So, you want to be constantly hunting for love in the moment?  Okay...I guess?  But that just wasn't how I have spent my time, nor has that been a way for me to advance spiritually, except maybe indirectly. sometimes  But now I get it and it is fantastic.

I recently became aware of a spiritual teacher who led me in a few minutes to a place inside "beyond perception" which is pure intoxicated joy, in it's more intense form.  It may be relaxed and simply happy, or it may be fizzing with primal-eternal joy.

So, now I understand the titular question to mean, where is that joy spot?  Just shift into that state (in less than a second) which feels like one's core being and, lo, there is the bubbling joy-love.

If you find that love in the eternal moment, then equanimity of being reigns as the self is playfully pulled into a found sense of True Self, as into the most loving maelstrom.  I find it purely astonishing, a perfect counterpart to the exhausting maelstrom of the outward-anchored experience of "reality."  It is truly--and very obviously--worthy of praise and thanksgiving. 


Honestly, I would have never believed it if I had merely read about it in an internet posting like this.  Funny, eh?

Ah, I do find it funny. Sounds like you touched upon that ecstatic joy which is apparently closer to the true state of the universe. 

49.2 Questioner: Thank you. I have a question here from Jim first. He says: “For the past nine years I have [had] what I call frontal lobes experiences in the pre-consciousness state of sleep just before I wake up in the morning. They are a combination of pleasure and pressure which begins in the frontal lobes and spreads in pulses through the whole brain and feels like an orgasm in my brain. I have had over 200 of these experiences and often they are accompanied by visions and voices which seldom make much sense to me. What is the source of these frontal lobes experiences?”

Ra: I am Ra. We scan the questioner and find some pertinent information already available which regards the physiological disposition of this particular part of the brain. The experiences described and experienced are those distillations which may be experienced after a concentration of effort upon the opening of the gateway, or indigo, mind complex so that experience of a sacramental, or violet, ray may occur. These experiences are the beginnings of that which, as the body, the mind, and the spirit become integrated at the gateway, or indigo, level, may then yield not only the experience of joy but the comprehension of intelligent infinity which accompanies it. Thus the body complex orgasm and mind complex orgasm becoming integrated may then set forth the proper gateway for the spiritual complex integration and its use as a shuttle for the sacrament of the fully experienced presence of the One Infinite Creator. Thus there is much to which the questioner may look forward.

However, my interpretation on the focusing question, "where is the love in this moment" is a little bit more... ah, academic, you can say, lol. Not to rain on the bliss parade. 

I consider love's dynamic nature as that force that propels us forward and that force that pulls us closer, the love which emanates from our heart of self and the love of the Creator in constant interplay. In other words, the upward and downward spiraling light. Where those two energies meet is dependent on the seeker's metaphysical configuration and the specific situation that the seeker finds themselves in. For instance, I would seat the experience you describe, Sacred Fool, as one occurring in the indigo ray... is a congratulations in order? 

So, to find the love in the moment (even if that meeting place of the upward and downward spiraling light is in the red/orange/yellow rays, even if unpleasant and felt as a struggle) can also be thought of as the act of finding the true self in the moment (wherever that person may be developmentally) and to connect with what moves someone at their core. It is the essence of ourselves that we seek. 

Maybe you're angry as hell at the government, that's not very love and light . We can reject such energies as unsavory, but instead why not ask what lies beneath that energy. What is driving that anger? Perhaps one's personal integrity is feeling a sense of injustice against those who act without integrity, perhaps there is deep concern for those more vulnerable in society who are materially hurt by a governmental policy, maybe one's strong will to survive and thrive in this world is being called upon within and by that northern light - to fight to live another day, and maybe one just seeks more goodness in this world. All expressions of love, as I see it. Love places no demands and therefore does not tell a person to stop getting involved in politics because it is beneath all that which is high and godly. But, I've seen the power of love to be able to center a person, remind them of who they are and the humanity which propels them at their core. The incredible thing is that when you connect with the loving nature within which can at times manifest as behavior that is easily dismissed as "unloving", it is easier to see the primal loving nature in others when they act out in ways that you disagree with. It makes the whole business of feeling compassion and connecting with the human race go much smoother.

The loving nature of others can be too opaque to connect with, especially when they are practicing advanced selfishness, but what is more abundantly common in others is a nature which comes from a place of immaturity and the emotional depth akin to the tantruming toddler, but that is the world we live in. Fear and frustration is an integral part of the human experience, and there is plenty that is justifiably fear and frustration inducing. Yet when we connect with the love in the moment and are reminded of who we are at our core, we can also be reminded that we now know better, being adults and all, and it's time to put that knowledge into practice as we tune ourselves to the highest expressions of love that we can conceive of. To find the love in the moment is therefore to allow the maturation process to occur within us, organically and at greater depths of being over time. 

At least I have come to find that every moment in my life has significance, every moment can be a learning experience if I choose it to be, where I can learn about myself and the nature that we all carry within us. Every moment is a chance for genuine self expression as I learn how to exercise my free will more and more in the development of my character, my insight, foresight and clear seeing of the self and other-self. It is not a spirituality built on the repetition of positive affirmations said mindlessly ad infinitum, such as EveRyOne is tHe crEatOr! Instead, it is a path which seeks to understand and accept our own light and dark nature, working diligently through one's personal biases to become more the being that contains all that is. The love found in the moment only grows when we can look upon that very same nature being expressed in the other with true compassion that radiates from a heart of integrated understanding (not a compassion that is construed by the mind, lacking substance, follow-through and any real potential for personal growth and service).
