I received a message the other day from Lauren Zimmeman; our Honorary Ambassador asking me if I would like to post the following piece on the Humanity Healing blog. I read it and frankly there was no way I was not going to post it! Lauren is a writer of some considerable calibre and we are very blessed here in Humanity Healing to have her to help support, promote and represent the work that we are doing. If you are not familiar with Lauren's work then you might like to listen in to the interview that I conducted with her last year where she talks about her motivation, her writing and her vision of a better world for all. Just click the link here.
I think that you will find the following; illuminating. All human beings feel and express love in one way or another, but how many of us truly understand what love is? How many of us can transcend the conditional parameters that we place on this emotion? Is Love in fact really just an emotion? Or something much more? Something much more omnipresent and critical to the human condition? Lauren's exposition below will, if you have never pondered the nature of Love before, give you a glimpse through the eyes of Truth at what it really means to feel and express Love.
I Love You But….
It's time for the next layer of understanding to be peeled off. For many years the term "unconditional love" has been explored by those here on Earth. The entire concept was leading up to another layer of the illusionary reality of Earth, a layer that needs to come off so that the level of healing that needs to be done can be done.
Here we are…
I love you because you make me laugh, your heart can be felt all the way across the room, you're so filled with love for others, you are my brother in soul, (or) you are my sister in soul, we are one, we are aspects of God and Infinite Soul. I love you because you're you.
I love you enough to love you no matter what you do with your life.
I love you but I wish you wouldn't be so sensitive. I love you but I really wish your hair was blonde. (I like blondes and I shouldn't have to apologize for that.) I love you but you're poor and I don't want to feel as though I need to save you. I love you and I'll be waiting on the other side of whatever drama you're creating right now.
I love you but I wish you would change.
I love you but I wish you weren't creating the reality you're creating with your life right now.
I think I would love you even more if things would change.
It's tantalizing, isn't it? That carrot on the end of the stick. The hint, the implication, the hope, that there is more love behind what we're already giving and receiving and if things were different, we might just be comfortable enough to express that hidden love … that love that is waiting for something .. or someone .. to change.
As a species, humans are exploring what love truly is. Unconditional love is just the beginning. Behind that layer of understanding is a layer of absolute surrender to BEING love, to being the fullest expression of love, God, Soul, that we can be … without reservations, expectations, wishes, and judgments.
Yes, it IS a judgment to want God to change people or things. This is a tough one to explain, and an even tougher one to
live. But it is the Truth of who we are, as infinite souls. Why is it so tough to live the Truth of who we are?
Do we, as a society, want to abolish war and crime, abuse and fear, hatred and judgment? Yes. And so what does it mean to love ALL things without judgment and yet still wish for change?
Much, if not all, of the acting out that people on Earth do has a base of need. The need to be heard, to be loved, to be understood, to be allowed to be who we are without judgment. And so the base, the foundation, of all things that do not appear to express love is fear. Need is fear disguised.
If we address fear, we address the lack of love. If we address the lack of love, we begin to understand that it is our inability to BE the full expression of love that we are that is causing the fear … and the fear is causing the acting out of war, hate, abuse, etc.
Let's go back to the question … how do we love those things we wish would change?
What is it exactly that we want to change? If we look closely enough, if we peel off the layers of the out-picturing of devastation that is this entire Earth society, we will find ourselves. Each person is responsible for the out-picturing of life on Earth.
Let's look at a possible scenario. What if every single person decided to BE love and nothing else? What if each person let go of the energy of wishing things were different and began to LIVE the truth within themselves that things CAN be different if we are the foundation of love instead of the foundation of fear?
What we want to change and heal is the fear that drives this human reality. That fear can be changed by being love. Love is who each of us are, in our true forms. It sounds like a dichotomy … because it is. We ourselves create the dichotomy.
Fear is not a state of being that is generated or accepted by our soul. Our soul knows only love and lives within the firm and eternal union of love with infinity and God. Our soul does not wish for things to change. Soul recognized that life on Earth is an effort to create a reality that embraces the lessons of understanding that all things are love, even when they don't look like love at all.
Think about this, if you will, for just a moment. What are we really saying behind our thoughts of non-acceptance?
I love you God … but I wish You would change this.
This is a topic that deserves an entire book .. or volume of books. But this blog serves as a tidbit of thought for those who are ready to explore the next layer of what this reality is all about. By entertaining the thought, we entertain the possibility. By entertaining the possibility, we encourage the truth.
With love and honor to each of you.

Thank you from my soul, Steve, for the generosity of support that you give to my work. When we first spoke I knew immediately that I had met an extraordinary person. My life is blessed by your presence.
It is clear to me, from my perspective on things, that Earth's society is preparing for a new state of being. Understanding love in with a higher degree of compassion and involvement with all living beings is, in my humble opinion, step number one.
Humanity Healing is one of the forerunners of the change I see happening for society. I'm truly honored to be a part and hope to play a more active part as time goes on.
Many blessings to you and to all who have joined Humanity Healing.
Lauren
It is always lovely to hear from you Lauren and your support and contributions to Humanity Healing are very much appreciated by us all. You are right of course that the very first step for all of us in whatever endeavours we are engaged in must be the cultivation of love, not just for those closest to us, but for all beings everywhere. It is this perspective that motivates the spirit of Humanity Healing and provides the fuel for the work that we do.
Much love in deep gratitude for your work.
Many blessings and much metta,
Steve
This is wonderful. Ram Dass often talks about "being Love"...as opposed to giving it or taking it. I love the article. One thing I would like to clarify..although it would still include "being Love" and not withdrawing it is when someone is abusing you. It is then sometimes necessary to withdraw the physical body from a situation..but that does not mean to stop being Love or seeing the "God" in the "other". It is just karmically sometimes inappropriate to allow someone to harm you .
Beautiful write both Steve and Lauren! Hopefully more people will grow into this awareness in greater numbers as humanity is awakening!
