They loved each other because everything around them willed it, the trees and the clouds and the sky over their heads and the earth under their feet.
- Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
I fell in love with his soul the first time I saw him walk into the room. I didn't know his name or anything about him, but I felt his pain burrow into my heart and his joy rise up and move through my body. From that moment, I wanted to comfort his pain and witness his joy. This felt like love to me. It still does.
The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
Sometimes, it feels as if we have forgotten love. We talk about relationships - about being in a relationship or finding a relationship - but we rarely talk about love. It's as if we are afraid of the word, or of the feeling itself. Would we call love a feeling? Growing up, I was taught that it was an action, and this still resonates, but actions that imply love do not always stem from love. I now understand that love is a frequency, a vibration, the resonance from which the cosmos was birthed. It cannot be ignored, and nothing is more important. Love is who we were destined to embody; what we must allow ourselves to become.
If you are stone, be magnetic; if a plant, be sensitive; but if you are human be love.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
We are in a number seven year; the completion of a cycle. We are no longer tethered to a third-dimensional reality. The island is at a particularly high frequency, and living here with others who are opting for a fifth-dimensional New Earth consciousness helps draw me further from the constraints of the illusionary matrix. Watching butterflies and dragonflies in the garden, skinny dipping under the full moon, singing to the water, and eating ripe dragon fruit straight from the vine feel real and right. Thinking, feeling, and connecting deeply with others feel real and right. Everything else feels superfluous; like going through the motions of life.
To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
Recently, I had a dream that was more real, more intense than waking life. We were working together. He rested his hand lightly on mine - an acknowledgement of love - and a second time - in reinforcement of it. A hand that rests lightly is evidence of love that is free, that does not grasp or hold - love without fear of loss. In the dream, I stepped away. The feeling was so physically powerful that it overwhelmed me, even in the astral. It took me a day to fully connect back into this realm. The veil between worlds still fluttered open.
You and I, it's as though we have been taught to kiss in heaven and sent down to earth together, to see if we know what we were taught.
- Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago
Multidimensional, cosmic love exists. It is real. Soul connections exist whether or not they are evident in the physical. We recognise each other. In the fifth dimension, romantic connections will not involve financial transactions, codependence, advertising, or swiping left or right. The current concept of a relationship, which often appears to involve coexistence for the purposes of financial security, parenting, company or sex, will no longer be confused with real love. This construct of a relationship is empty in comparison to the deep soul connection of a divine partnership which recognises its oneness with the other and with Source.
When love has fused and mingled two beings in a sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned; they are no longer anything more than the two boundaries of the same destiny; they are no longer anything but the two wings of the same spirit. Love, soar.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
For this type of love to be experienced, it must first be believed in. I think it is because we rarely see it, that we don't believe in it. Then, we must keep believing. Time is a human construct. It does not exist in the higher dimensions. We must have patience. The more we focus our attentions on what is to be appreciated, what is to be loved, the more we will come to embody love. The more we embody love, the more we will attract love towards us. If it is destined in our soul contracts, it will come. The universe wants and needs us to love. The merging of two people who come together with knowledge of the truth of the other - as powerful, exquisite, multidimensional souls having a human experience, will amplify the frequency of the cosmos - the love vibration - and as a result will raise the collective frequency as Earth continues her ascension.
There must be a glowing light above such houses. The joy they contain must escape in light through the stones of the walls and shine dimly into the darkness. It is impossible that this sacred festival of destiny should not send a celestial radiation to the infinite. Love is the sublime crucible in which is consummated the fusion of man and woman; the one being, the triple being, the final being-- the human trinity springs from it. This birth of two souls into one space must be an emotion for space.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
In the meantime, love yourself. Love the plants and the flowers, the birds and the insects, the animals and the sea creatures, the sun and the rain and the ocean. Love what you do and love those you choose to keep in your orbit. Cultivate a state of compassion and forgiveness for yourself and your perceived mistakes and imperfections, and you will discover that you have the capacity for compassion and forgiveness for all those who have hurt you. We can't pour from an empty cup. Loving ourselves means taking care of ourselves. Rest when you're tired, eat when you're hungry, play, create and pamper yourself. Celebrate your achievements and your progress. Allow yourself to set boundaries to safeguard your energy. When we are fully loved and appreciated by ourselves, relationships will become a choice. There will no longer be any need to settle for less than real, cosmic love with another person.
Love is multidimensional. Love connects us to Divine Source. Love is real even when it is not reciprocated in the physical. We are the embodiment of love, and nothing else really matters.
To love another person is to see the face of God.
- Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
