Love Changes Everything

Many of my Tarot clients come to me saying some variation of the following sentiment: “I want love and a relationship more than anything in the world, but when someone comes into my life who wants to give me what I’ve wished for, I get scared and run away.” Again, we’re dealing with the two paths in life we can travel on — the path of love or the path of fear.  At this stage of human consciousness, many people fear true intimacy, and therefore they don’t allow themselves to get into relationships or situations where deep affection might develop.

The path of fear is really the path of the illusion of safety. Many people continue to walk the path of fear because at first glance it appears to be the path of least resistance, and therefore the easier one.

The path of love will often appear to be the more dangerous one at first, particularly if there are obstacles to overcome before two people can be together.

Some of my other clients say something like, “I want love, but I don’t want it to change anything in my life too much.”  This kind of thinking defies the Natural Law of Love which states:  Love changes everything.  If you’re a person who doesn’t like change, then letting love in can be a difficult thing to do.  Learn to embrace change as a good thing.  A really good thing if those life changes came about because of the power of love.

Sometimes we yearn for love so strongly that when it does finally find its way to us, it can frighten us to the bones.  We start fearing that we can’t handle all the powerful feelings and uncontrollable emotions that are welling up inside of us.  If you’re the kind of person who needs to feel in control at all times, then you’ll need to learn to let go and let love lead the way.

If you want a higher love, then you have to stop settling for a watered-down version of the real thing.  This watered-down version of love, conditional love, is really all about feeding the ego and its expectations, fears, desires, and insatiable need for power, control, and to possess.

If you want to open yourself to love, you must acknowledge and accept the undeniable truth that love represents a very real threat to your ego, since your ego is comprised of fear.  Our ego is the part of our consciousness that sees itself as separate from everything and everyone else.  Love is the unifying force of the universe that dispels this myth of separateness and embraces the immutable truth that we are all connected.  All is one.  The more we open our hearts, souls, mind, and body to unconditional love and its all transforming power, the more it will change and affect every aspect of our life and being.  Trust that these changes are always for the better.

Love will find a way, if you allow it to.
