Imprisoned Love
Love needs a place to go!
Could it be that God couldn’t contain his love anymore?
Could it be that the world was getting too far away from the original plan of Eden that God sent Love down, as our Savior and reminder of unconditional love in a baby that came through a Mother?
Could the incarnation be the archetype for the entire rescue plan for salvation for all?
Could it be that through Mary, the immaculate one, the only sinless human being, Love was set free?
Could it be that we all must experience our own personal birth of Christ within, Love expressed?
Did Mary witness and show us the example of the grand plan in her humanity?
Do we all have this great love within us?
Do we all lose the power of that love as life gives us lies and darkness, covering our hearts like a blanket that blocks the light?
What happens to that love inside?
What happens when the laughter of a baby loses its authenticity?
When we no longer hear the bell of Christmas?
When we no longer believe?
What happens to love?
Perhaps it sits under that blanket, blocking the light, and perhaps even more blankets cover our heart as time moves on?
Perhaps one day the blankets get way too heavy, too burdensome, too paralyzing, too dark, maybe we even wonder if life is really worth living?
And we lose all human strength, we have no place else to go.
We have so much love within us and no where for it to go.
We don’t want it to be this way
We wish things were different
The pressure inside becomes problematic.
What would happen if we just knew that those blankets are in the way?What if we recognized how they blind us in our knowing the light?
What if we removed them one blanket at a time or possibly all at once?
A surrender
A letting go
A shift in thinking
Anyway to open up that love pressure that is threatening to kill all life energy that sits inside…
What if we seek to love something
Anything
A glorious sunset
A sweet memory
Words that resonate
A brightly colored bird
A devoted dog
A kind human
Once the love pressure valve gets released, is it possible to just keep pursuing places to express our pent-up love?
If the human can reject the darkness and look for truth, they will find that love was always there.
Love had been kept in bondage, and until it was given freedom to love in the way the human was designed to love from their conception. Remaining trapped in darkness, produces a false reality.
The truth is that from the beginning of every human life, that person is hard wired with abundant love.
The true self’s love output gets corroded by the lies of this world.
The false self, the ego takes control.
The goal of the ego, independence, power, control, and the notion that we don’t need anyone else. The intent is to shut out relationships, reality, and love!
The movie “Wicked, For Good” demonstrates this outcome in a profound way.
Consider the characters and how they projected love. Every single one revealed human tendencies. No character is perfect, until the death of their ego. When the ego dies, there is an opportunity for Christ to enter into their lives, and then they are made perfect through this holy love, not through human ability but through the divine.
Spoiler alert: If you haven’t seen “Wicked part 2” yet, you may want to stop or you can move forward and use these thoughts to bring forth some concepts that you may not have yet considered. When Prince Fiyero, who loves Elphaba, the wicked, but is loved by Glinda the good, dies, (the movie portrays him as a scarecrow hanging on a cross😳) he returns in a resurrected state!
When Elphaba dies, she also returns in a resurrecting state.
How do I know?
They both left home…walked out into the unknown, with Love as their companion and trusted guide.
Glinda, who does not die physically choses to allow her old persona, her false self, to be pushed aside so that the good that was in her from the beginning could shift from a perfect people pleaser to a seeker of truth. She also reconnects with her childhood self, at the time in which her childhood self was forced to begin pretending she was something she was not. She reconnects to her authentical self and stops allowing false witnesses, the power they do not deserve. She matures out of her ego and finds her true self.
Glinda moves out of her comfort zone into the guidance of her moral compass, no longer blinded to the lies that she didn’t want to see.
The others remain lost…
The invitation to finding their own truth is always there. Whether they find it in this life or in the next is not for us to judge.
So how open is your love flow?
Our Holy Father would like for us to be true to ourselves, unapologetically authentic, understanding that each one of us are unique in the way our souls show and receive love.
If we lean toward Glinda the good or toward Elpha the Wicked, it does not matter. What matters is that we find the answers within, because all are invited. All are included.
All are desired, the good and the wicked and everything in between.
The love flow must express itself, but it can only come when we allow it from the inside!
We must give our fiat!
May we accept this profound love of a child and give birth to the purpose for which we were created. The holy power of Christ is in each of us waiting to be born as Mary so humbly yet profoundly demonstrated.
And if you can’t even fathom giving birth then let Joseph, Jesus’s chosen father be your inspiration! He too was intentionally designed and asked to father, God’s Son.
God’s got us! He gives us so many opportunities to find him, even in the movie theaters!
Stay Blessed ya’all!
