Yes, doggone it! That’s what many people would say. Yes, doggone it.
No wonder you have such trouble accepting a God who loves everyone equally.
Well, we are not gods. Most people need some level of emotional security. And without it,
without a mate or partner providing it, love can just die, whether you want it to or not.
No, it is not love that dies. It is the need. You decide that you do not need that person
anymore. In fact, you don’t want to need that person, because it hurts too much. So you
make a decision: I don’t need you to love me anymore. Go and love whomever you wish. I’m
out of here.
That’s what happens. You kill the need. You do not kill the love. Indeed, some of you carry
the love forever. Friends say that you are still carrying a torch. And you are! It is the light of
your love, the flame of your passion, still burning inside of you, shining so brightly that others
can see it. But this is not bad. This is as it should be—given who and what you say you are,
and what you declare that you choose to be.
You’re supposed to never be able to fall in love with anyone else because you’re carrying a
torch for someone?
Why do you have to let your love for that one person go in order to love another? Can you
not love more than one person at a time?
Many people cannot. Not in that way.
You mean sexually?
I mean romantically. I mean, as a life partner. Some people need a life partner. Most people
do.
The difficulty is that most people confuse love with need. They think that the two words, and
the two experiences, are interchangeable. They are not. Loving someone has nothing to do
with needing them.
You can love someone and need them at the same time, but you don’t love them because
you need them. If you love them because you need them, you have not loved them at all, but
merely what it is that they have given you.
When you love another for who they are, whether they give you what you need or not, then
you truly love them. When there is nothing that you do need, then you truly can love them.
Remember, love is without condition, without limitation, and without need. This is how I love
you. Yet this is a love that you cannot imagine receiving, because it is a love that you cannot
imagine expressing. And that is the sadness of all the world.
Now, given that you say that you wish to become Highly Evolved Beings, infidelity, as you
call it, is not okay. That is because it will not work. It will not get you where you say you want
to go. And that is because infidelity means not being true, and somewhere deep inside your
soul you know and understand that Highly Evolved Beings live and breathe and have their
being in truth—first, last, and always. Truth is not what they speak, truth is who they are.
