Living on Love

[maggieb]

Blake: Thanks for posting this! I have been experiencing something similar that seems to have ramped up in the last few months and have been "asking" for answers as to what is going on...Yesterday I was out walking my dog and had a really strange experience with two strangers invading my "space". it seems to happen on a daily basis lately. I have been enjoying it, but trying to figure out what is going on.
I got home from my walk and picked up the first book where I had left off - chapter fifteen - where he tells Danny and Neena about his experience with strangers.....This is very trippy!

I dreamed...

I was in a elevator and a shrink walked in...

On another floor another shrink walked in and said "how are you"

The other said "What do you mean by that?"

Wolk up and said. Im cured! Thank God!

What a nightmare!

Hi Blake! How are you doing with the exercise for the living on love book? I tried it the first time and felt my heart open and when I was breathing in and out I could feel the love expand in my lungs and felt it through my hands and feet. It was an incredible experience but I stopped in the middle 'cause I didn't remember what to do next. I couldn't wait to try it again the next day and did not get the same results I did the first time. I kept trying and trying and could'nt get the same feeling again. I think I'm trying too hard Do you have any insights for me? Are you still practicing it? Thanks!

Hello

Christine!...Alas I have not been doing it on a regular basis...developing consistency is one of my great life kenundrums. I will go home right now and do it...I'm off work and dilly dallying on computer when i could be loving! ...I know... I can put love in anything I do...just need to pay attention.

So my world did open up when I was practicing it and feel I'm on a different timeline...think I kinda got scared of how much might change how fast? Its all for the good...my dad has a note floating around his house that says "HOW GOOD CAN YOU STAND IT!?" ...

a couple thoughts on "doing" and "feeling"... I wonder if thats also not apart of why I tapered down to a slow simmer? So these thoughts are for me really...hmmmm. My first thought was just cuz your not feeling it dosent mean its not happening...The golden Key part for me was intending and connecting with my highest self which IS LOVE...nothing to do at that point...just be. I think in the book he practiced alot on reaching that state. Then the time traveling or love sending came in...

My first BIG positive love filled reaction to doing it came ont the third day. On day two - a full day of not feeling it but doing it anyway...just believing that it was working...I felt the reverse of love actually (fear)...but when I could I kept "imagining" stoking my heart with love and "imagining" opening my connection to my higher self...I was very affraid of the overly glommy resonse of others he described in the book. I hardly did it enough for that to happen but I felt cracked open and vulnerable anyway from what I had/was doing...so that day was intending stolking love but feeling "stay away from me!!!" a bit-o cognative dissonance ???

So believing it and trusting it I think are keys...like with ME or all the other stuff here (or in life?). The other that felt really important was SENDING the love...even when I wasnt feeling it I was imagining "sending" (in all sorts of metahoric visuals) love to others at work (or recognizing it in them)...also people in my life or past who werent around. That was/IS huge it think...Love needs to flow. It needs to be given. I think thats what created the shift in day three.

The thing that really hit me in book one or two?...was him sending love to his childhood self... going back in time... I think for me that would/will increase my capacity to love in the now and transform the picture of my past...(this is like kindergarted M.E. I know)... I dont know how many times people have suggested this to me (starting with the classic "inner child" work) but it never clicked until having this goofy method to do it.

In sending love to others I start with the ones I naturally love (or want to) and use the natural-ness to open my heart more... then I send it to those Im not happy with.... and then everybody I cross paths with for as long as I can stay focussed on it...like a meditation practice...then refocus when I realize I forgot....after a while it feels like enough...or like I'm forcing it ...then I relax and just enjoy myself or do the gratitutude thing...mind you this is still new to me and I really aint good (consistant) with it yet... This was just my first big experience of a "self" generated tranformation in my feeling/conciousness...I seem to ride other peoples wave alot not trusting I have all I need and can do it all for myself. This proved to me for a while that its true...I am complete and whole and have all the love Id ever want to give, to give...

I know to many here I must sound like a Ssssllllooooowww learner and at times a bit hipocriful or like a broken record (or maybe I just feel that way?)... I really appreciate the kindness of all here and the support...I guess Im still just learning to trust and to share my journey.

...its just soooo ironic I have all the answers to everything I think or say or ask...I have inner-ly corrected i dont know how many statements i have made in this post alone while writing....

It all makes me think of a poem i wrote a while ago about making peace with my perfect imperfection and not withholding my love...

I need to go home now...

For Blake!

Hi Blake!

What a wonderful thread and Link to wonderful books!!!

[illusions]

Que: Twilight Zone Theme!!

Hi Blake and Everyone Else

I was going to wait until I'd read at least half of the first book before posting here, and I have a few things I'd love to add... but.....

Hee heeee, a Fabulous and Funny synchronicity just happened while I've been reading and I just had to share it with you.

I'm sitting at my computer, reading the first book, and the T.V. is next to me, on which my son is watching the movie, Independence Day. I asked him to turn it down a little as it gets quite enthusiastic with the action
Every now and then I glance over and see a little of the movie - it's a great movie.

I'm SO enjoying the book, and I used to use this Power at one point, but had forgotten about it. Now, as I'm reading the book, it's all coming back to me and I'm feeling the Power again.

As I reached towards the end of page 6, I happened to look over to the T.V. screen, and the scene was the one where, on the plane, the Geoff Goldblum's character's (can't remember his name) father, is saying to Geoff Goldblum's character's ex, that all his son could think of was getting to her. He then says "There's still love there." She answers "Love was never the problem." but wait there's more.... then he answers "All you need is Love" lol. - a sweet and funny line in the movie anyway because of the reference to the Beatles' song, but really impressive when overheard "by chance" while reading this book.

I'll be back once I've read a bit more of it. I really enjoyed reading this thread as well.

Thank you Very much, Blake, for sharing this here.

Love and Light and ....wait, Love is all we need, so just .... Love xxx

[Christine G.]

Thanks Blake!!

for that!! I will keep doing the exercises and trust that it is working. You are right we are already complete,whole and love. I think I really need to know that in my heart and soul more. Thanks again for this thread and sharing these books with us I love it! They are very interesting and once I start reading it, I can't stop.

Some more experiences last week in relation to the book

Shortly after last posting, i had something happen which i felt was important to share, but due to struggling with some issues with myself that came to light i did not post. I have come to some self acceptance since that time, so anyhow, here is what happened;

I read the first book over a few days, and was experiencing the feeling of love during some moments within the book, and outside of reading. I have not finished the book, but do intend to return to it at some point in time. The day of last reading was a peak of the feeling of love, but on the following day as the morning started up, i began feeling a conflict within for some reason, and that took me out of the experience of love. I got up out of the chair and went to open the door to leave the room. Somehow my left foot was too far forward as i was learning forward to walk out of the room, and it blocked the door from opening beyond about the half way point of my body. I walked straight into the end the door with my face, because my body was tilted forward, with the face being the first point of collision.
As soon as that happened, i was immediately aware that it occurred out of the vibrational conflict i had started to experience, and somehow managed to instantly choose back into the love i had been experiencing over the few days. The immediate reaction was to hold the face with the hands, and lie down. Ordinarily, such an impact would have left pain for several days at a minimum. It became quickly apparent, that there was no pain and the there had been only a brief discomfort at impact.

I also noticed that the days where i experienced love, were the nights where sleep was right through, uninterrupted. Sleeping 3 nights in a row where sleep was right through has not happened for 20 years.

One other thing i cant quite comprehend, is like a disconnection from the the period of experiencing love and that highlighted experience, and not readily feeling the experience as a memory, even though it was only a week and a half ago. Perhaps it will be understood in time.

Across the Universe

Theres a quote from a very wise Woman i heard once...or perhaps it was from her teacher...?

"There is enough love in the human heart to fill the entire universe."

Omg!

Blake, Thank you for recommending this book! Pamela Thank you for bringing it to my attention!!

I started reading it about an hour and a half ago.... I am now on chapter 12! My eyes hurt so bad from reading off the computer screen! I guess I am going to have to go buy some black ink for my printer tomorrow morning after I get my kids off to school!

The book is awesome, and no I did not skip to the end for the instructions... I read from start to end! I am loving the book, and looking so forward to finishing it tomorrow! I am about to fall asleep on my laptop right now, so I am going to have to give in for now!

VERY AWESOME BOOK! Highly reccomend it!!!

Blessings Sallyjane

I completely agree Sallyjane!!

I've read the first and second books, and am now on the audio of the third.

What FABulous stuff!!! And I find his writing Intriguing!! The grammar and spelling etc. doesn't detract from his Excellent story-telling style! It really keeps you engaged and wanting to know what happens next.

The practise of Opening the Valve, and of Sending Love is what I believe many other modalities are aiming at. Something like Ho'oponopono for example is, I believe, aimed at this result, and is a way of producing the feeling for it.

Thank you again, Blake, for sharing this Brilliant information with us.

Love and Light and Magic ..... and Love xxx

Whoa, what a read!

Blake!!
You are the man! Wow, what a great book and it was funny to me like Odille said with her synchronicity, I was listening to a rock station online and two songs back to back had the "love" in the title just as I was getting into the nitty gritty on the love thing. And this was a old school heavy metal station??? Of course I just laughed and knew why.

I'm digging his writing style -- I'm usually critical on writing, but with the info I'm resonating with and learning about, it's fine I"m hearing him speak with every word read. Ha, and it's taking longer than usual to read -- I'm getting so many insights and good memory flashbacks of yesteryear. He just needs to talk faster

For marathon computer reading maneuvers, I would recommend not using another light at the same time with the computer. Fluorescents blink at a different frequency and don't quite match up with the CRT or LED monitors -- that can cause eyestrain, it'll help at least...

Yes, sending love is a gift I'm sending it to everyone. Great book and only 65 pages left!

Thanks again Blake,

Doug

[zartgirl]

Ok I am seriously hooked

Thanks Blake!!!!!!

This information is awesome. I am finding that I use it with a simple two point and it really just works and shuts up my ego chatter... Although my ego really does not chatter very loud any more. I am sending love to everyone and every thing.... Hopefully I am not moving to fast with it all... like you said!

I still have about 20 more pages to read, but since I just started it last night... I think am good. I will probably finish it tonight after work. The whole love theme has been big in my life the last week I guess... so how perfectly I get to this right now. I also have on order the book "A Love without End" the one Stephen started a thread about... these books are nice as they are free to download!

Sallyjane

[zartgirl]

Finished!

I just finished the book! I am starting to practice opening up to love. I am soooo excited about this...

By the way thank you for the suggestion for turning off the other lights! I do appreciate the suggestion. I am going to print out the book for my daughter who is fourteen to read it also!

Ooohhh! I just have so many things I want to apply this too, but first I need to get my own love opened up!

Blessings and LOVE Sallyjane

[Jamie]

Thank you Blake! These books are wonderful! I've just finished the first two.

A couple of experiences to report:

Just getting into the book, but nor realizing the implications I had my boss mention on two different days how pretty I looked. I wasn't dressed up or anything, but I think love was just radiating from me = even though I hadn't really practiced this yet. But hey - time is an illusion anyway.

I just picked up the new Snow Patrol record and for some strange reason, it radiates me with love. I feel like I am flying in the universe when I listen to the record. (my cats like it too! ) And then I just read an interview with the lead singer tonight about how he's in love and this record is all about that.

Anyway, off to bed...I'm going to go to sleep thinking about love and radiating love. Thanks again!!!! This is wonderful!!!
