Yanni's Blog

This is Part III of a six part blog. In order to understand and make best use of what follows, please see my previous entries of 11/30/09 for Part I and of 12/07/09 for Part II.

Our purpose here on this planet is not to acquire information and "things," but to learn how to really love. And so when we are at our lowest and yet are still able to reach up to love, reach within to love and reach out for love, we then truly will have mastered what Love is all about. For by reaching out for love, we shed light into the darkness. We turn chaos into order. We transform lead into gold. We truly tap into the essence of love and become the Master Alchemist! We turn all our "suffering" or our illusions into Gold!

If in the depths of despair you seek Love's guidance and surrender fully to its loving embrace, then truly you have learned what it means to have "Love" and that "knowing" will remain with you and continue to grow within you throughout eternity.

Love gives eternity and meaning to life--nothing else can or does. But if, on the other hand, you just make love an intellectual exercise, you learn nothing about love and are left empty and unfulfilled.

So, when your body is not functioning well, but you can still love it, you then have learned what it means to love unconditionally.

When your best friend or lover has left you and yet you can still love yourself, you have learned how to truly love yourself.

When you finances have bottomed out, but you can still appreciate the wonder and beauty of life and of yourself and still know that you are good and can thrive, you have learned what it means to love.

And when another has harmed you and you can still love them and yourself, truly you have learned what love is.
