Releasing the limitations of “Love”

Geertje Smit channels The Field of Love

Question: What is actually true about our idea of Love? Are we really personalities—or romantic partners in a relationship—and can we actually “work” on a relationship?

Or are we Love itself—and is it our Ego that constantly wants something from another person or continually judges them?

Answer:

You live in an environment where the idea of love plays an important role. Love seems to be something nurturing to you: something that can be acquired outside yourself, something that can empower you.

It appears to be something you can earn through the right behavior:

❥ You must be open to another person

❥ You must show understanding toward one another

❥ You must also be “lovable” in order to be loved

And all of these things take your breath away. Literally. Because love thereby becomes a task.

Love has nothing to do with work

Love flows wherever it is free

But freedom is a space that is difficult for you to comprehend.

From a young age, you have been burdened with the judgments and opinions of the most important people around you. These views cling to you, so to speak; they form the framework within which you are allowed to move. In addition, you bring along your own beliefs from previous experiences (whether on Earth or elsewhere in the physical universe).

Your own beliefs merge with those of the world, creating a small field within which you can move. Before long, you begin judging what others do—what they are allowed to do and what they are not. All of this means that you are not free, but bound by frameworks that tell you exactly where you have room to move and where you do not.

This is the context of what you call a “love relationship,” and on top of that comes the expectation that the other person should make you happy. The box that the other person occupies must therefore fit the box that you occupy—and in this way freedom becomes even more restricted.

This, then, is your experience of love. No wonder you feel confined.

Love—or what passes for love in this world—is not something you can do. It is an impossibility.

The desire for love continually leads to not-Love. To resentment toward yourself and toward another for failing to fit into the box that is supposed to represent love.

If a relationship falls apart, that is actually a good thing. A relationship was never designed to “succeed.” It can only succeed within self-limiting ego structures. And none of you are an ego, so the sooner you fall off that wagon, the better.

Stop performing that play. Look honestly at the limitations built into it.

Love—or its synonym, Freedom—reveals itself when you see through these limitations and allow them to fall away. When you release yourself from everything you believe you must do in order to be loved. Release the other person from your judgments as well. No one can fit into a box without severely limiting themselves and creating resistance.

Do not become a merchant when it comes to love. Free yourself from your limiting frameworks. Assume that you cannot contain love, that you can only experience it in those moments when you are free from the judgments that restrict both you and another.

What is Love, truly?

That is something you discover when you let go of the images that have been imposed upon it.
