I greet The Indwelling Beloved Lovers Loving.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Love Part Nine – Eros, a few of its characteristics - Falling in love is something that happens. It comes by grace. Being in love is something we do. Eros is like a garden, which must be cared for. Sexual desires without Eros wants “it”, gratification and then loses interest. When Eros is present, one wants and needs “this” person and no other. With Eros lovers are face to face; they talk a lot about their relationship, each other and how they affect each other. Even if the lovers are bad for each other and the relationship is really sick, they would rather be with their lover than anyone else. If your innermost self does not tell you this, it is not Eros. When we make a god of our love, it will fall short. Eros is a need-love. Eros calls on all past and present lovers to join in an understanding of “this” love as a universal union. Lovers have their own individual “laws” that give the illusion of overriding God’s universal principles, but these “laws” will fail. Eros may suffer long, with unending toils for the beloved, giving up family, friends, career, health, wealth, power and honor yet counts it as nothing to win their beloved. To be in love one promises and intends eternal constancy, “I shall ever be true”, without being asked. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
