Intimate Love
When most think of Intimate Love, usually the first thought is of two people experiencing an intimate physical love embrace, that is sexual in nature; that most definitely can be, and many times is a part of an Intimate Love relationship. Some of the formal definitions of the word intimate include statements such as these; close personal relationship, so private and personal as to be kept secret, also involving or having a sexual relationship. However, speaking from personal experience, I must say that Intimate Love does not always entail physical and sexual contact between two people. That is because Intimate Love first happens within and individuals heart and mind. Because of that, it is possible for one person to be intimately in love with someone who is not intimately in love with him or her. Now that seems to be quite a paradox doesn’t it?
Someone is asking; why are you speaking of Intimate Love? Thank you for asking that; I set up my initial statement as I did because I really want to share my thoughts on Intimate Love with you. What stimulated this topic were the thoughts I had when I awoke from a very pleasant nights sleep this morning. The Intimate Love I have experienced in this lifetime was fresh on my mind as I woke, due to a thought that came to me concerning a special lady that I had great respect for. This lady was very close to me, we spent a lot of time together doing things that we had in common, most of the time it had to do with things of a spiritual nature. At one point I could tell that both of us had become attracted to each other. However, she had not long gotten out of a failed love relationship, and she still bore the painful scars from it. Because of that I knew it was not time to share with her my feelings, even though I thought that she felt a little of what I did. Nonetheless, she was still being emotionally bounced around by her old love.
There is one very important point that I need to make that I left out. I am one who does not believe in falling in love. To me falling in love paints a picture of someone that is out of control. Here is a good example of what I am saying. Someone steps off of a hill that turns out to be higher then expected and they end up falling many feet through the air. As they are falling, they have absolutely no control over themselves; they are completely at the mercy of gravity. There next experience is going to be an abrupt introduction to the ground as it breaks their fall. The relationship started with an action that was totally out of control, then as sudden as it started, it is likewise ended suddenly, with a painful and possibly even deadly ending. That is the course that most relationships, that begin with the act of falling in love take. To love someone is the most powerful action we can partake in, while traveling through this physical plane. Because of that, I know that we have to have more control over it than simply falling in love. This is the true knowing that rest deep within my Spirit concerning loving another. I choose to love; I do not fall in love. Yes, everyone that I love, no matter what kind of love it is, happens by way of personal choice, solely on my part. I do not trip into love or fall into love, I decide within my mind to love and I consciously step into that glorious energy and share it with another. Now that you know exactly where I am coming from I can continue.
Most of my life I have always been one that was contemplating Love. I remember my first conversation between The DIVINE and myself over Love; it was when I was five years old. I was perplexed over how one of my sisters was always treating me, she did everything that she could to try and verbally hurt me; she did things such as say all kinds of bad things about my father knowing that he was everything to me. Dad was my hero and role model; he was the greatest person in the world to me, and still is to this day even though he made transition 31 years ago. As I was walking back and forth on the sidewalk on my street, listening to the transistor radio my father had given to me, a very serious question entered my mind. Why are people so mean, all I want to do is to love others and be loved? That was the beginning of my life long journey of love. Little did I know that I would ask myself that question time and time again over the years to come. The reason why love was so prevalent to me at such a young age is this; my father was full of love, and he had no problem showing it and sharing it with everyone. My dad was a living example of how one should live in and through a Perpetual State of Unconditional Love. He openly loved me throughout his entire life. He would always rub my head, kiss me on the forehead and tell me he loved me, even when I thought I was a grown man. He taught me to love and respect everyone, and to never hold anger or a grudge towards anyone; he taught me all of that and much more by way of his actions. My dad was a living example of everything he taught me; he was not a man of many words. However, he was an eloquent speaker when he talked, and he could talk to everyone about almost everything. Well, I think I have said enough here about my dad, my one and only hero and role model, Mr. William Samuel Stokes Naylor.
Since I was shown that love is something that we choose to do by my father, early in life by way of example, I chose to love the Whole of Creation, as The DIVINE would have me do so. The DIVINE blessed me with my dad so that I could be fully trained by someone who practiced and lived the fullness of Unconditional Love. Therefore, I Baba-Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala, choose to share love in it’s many forms with the Whole of Creation, and that includes Intimate Love in its purest form from deep within my Spirit. Intimate Love initially starts out as Spiritual Energy, following that it can also be translated and expressed in the physical realm, and that is a beautiful thing. However, it does not always have to be, or it is not always appropriate to express it in a physical way. You see; it is most important that Intimate Love is expressed energetically and also unconditionally one to another, and it does not have to be reciprocated to the one expressing it, by the one it is expressed to. That was a very hard reality for me to learn, as well as taking many additional years to fully practice it. Yet now it is a consistent part of my life. Actually, it is an eternal part of all of us; the only thing is, we must remember it and then learn how to submit to it as being part of our eternal make-up.
So, there are those I have loved intimately and they consciously did not even know it. It could also be possible that some did know it, however they just did not share that with me. The most important thing about love in its many forms is this; it is not important who knows it, yet it is of the utmost importance that we Love fully and Unconditionally period. That is Love at its highest vibration, and that is the worlds Saving Grace. Love is the only thing that is going to get the human race out of the mess it has created. However, there is some very important work that must be done before we start to put Love to work. We must consciously see and except the Sacred Energy of Love as being just that, Sacred. We must cleanse Love of the filth we have covered it with. We must bow down to Love and see it for what it truly is; GODDESS/GOD Is LOVE, and nothing is more Sacred than that. The most Sacred Gift of all time has been bestowed upon the human race; we have been blessed with GODDESS/GOD in the form of the Sacred Energy called LOVE. Now we must perfect our use of this Sacred Energy, in addition we must heal and perfect ourselves first through the Awesome Transformative Energy of Love, and then heal we must heal our surrounding worlds through the Awesome Transformative Energy of Love.
Remember that there are many forms of Love, and we must practice them all, and it is not always necessary to broadcast what we are doing; not even to the one we are sharing the Sacred Energy of Love with. Sometimes we are not to let our left-hand know what our right-hand is doing. That is not being deceptive or illusive, it is simply blessing with Love anonymously; and that is a very positive and good thing. Broadcasting all of our actions never brings more lasting rewards; many times doing such only brings temporary recognition. The big question is this; why are we doing what we are doing?
One last point I must make before bringing these scripted words to a close. We can never give to much Love, because we can never run out of Love. So it does no good to hold Love for the right person; because the right person to Love is the person that is right in front of you. In addition, we must remember that there are many forms of Love. Due to that reality, there is a form of the Sacred Energy of Love to be shared with everyone, even those we incorrectly believe to be our enemies. We must Love everyone as intensely as we need to be Loved. Lastly, as I started these scripted words; Intimate Love is not isolated to a physical/sexual relationship. So what is keeping you? Go on, get out there and Love. The gift of Intimate Love is the most glorious gift we can give to another.
Beloved, I Love You With The Sacred Love of The DIVINE From Deep Within My Spirit.
One Love, Unconditional!
