It has taken me most of my life to find my true being. My true essence. My real me. I am bits and pieces of my personage, but it takes time to discover everything that makes me who I have become.

We actually are a miraculous combination of cells that create this body that in itself is beyond amazing. This life is a gift from the universe, a gift in experiencing the beauty of this planet and the finding of like minded beings to share and discuss our lives with. We are not meant to be divided by race or hate. We are meant to discover our lives in peace, cooperation and growth.

We need to raise the level of consciousness to fully realize our potential as a race of human beings. Let us explore the universe. One by one we need to evolve to a place where we can see past all of the fake news, the people in power, the agendas, the phony personas and all the other drama and just be.

Universal consciousness is an energy that cannot be seen, but it exists, I have experienced the connection. I have always known so many things and we all have a place in this evolution, but we must open our minds, our hearts, suspend our boxes of beliefs and just be with the universe as one entity.

Some may read this and think I have lost my mind, but I know we have created a planet of greed, selfishness, power and materialism. People are being programmed to not feel compassion and love. When you observe and analyze all the data out there you realize we are being programmed. We are being watched, followed, categorized and compiled into an entity which is devoid of individuality.

In the quest for finding ourselves we have become lost in the shuffle and programming of a world that is deprogramming the sense of self. We are loosing our sense of the individual. It is hard to recognize but I see it and feel it everywhere.

I am an individual who cares and feels. Am I one of few? I ask you to seriously examine your lives and try to find your true self. Not an easy journey. You are not alone.

We all desire to feel loved and treasured. That is the one thing we all have in common; the need to feel love. What is love to one person is not necessarily love to another. Many people believe that love is about power and control and they call it love, but it is not. How do we learn to love? Well, for the most part we adapt behaviours or ways of showing affection from our parents and families. We have many beliefs about what love should be and feel like. Religion and cultural beliefs come into play as well. Most of us never challenge the fact that what we are taught about life and love are not necessarily healthy. We try to imagine what it would be like to be loved. We even buy into what romance novels tell us is love.

However, after many years of reading those novels, I have realized that a lot of them are just fantasies of that particular writer. It is that authors belief of what they think love of another person should be like. Life is not a fairy tale and yet so many of us buy into what we read and are told.  Do we ever question it, or just accept whatever comes along? Let’s face it, we all, as men and women have unrealistic expectations of our relationships; and that is the reason many relationships do not last. The problem is that we all are expecting too much of those relationships. We also have become a society of people who have an extreme inability to give, and are too self-focused. A partnership or love relationship is based on a balance between partners, it should not be a power struggle. Finding a balance takes work and commitment to co-create a loving and evolving partnership.

How many are really capable of giving of themselves? It seems that many want to move on to another person, rather than look at the issues hindering the relationship they have. Most  are very reluctant to look at themselves. It is so easy to move on it seems, however, when children are involved, serious thought and introspection is needed. I have known many that have moved on and left behind and abandoned the children they brought into this world.  The result is children who grow up with issues around parenting and continue bad patterns in their relationships. A sad reality for many.

Having a healthy and realistic perspective is what is needed before entering into any relationship. Learning to love another person takes work, it is not magic, and not what we read in novels, it requires commitment, trust, and respect and lots of open honest communication about what we want out of a relationship and what we can give to each other. It is the elusive (for many) but a treasure we all yearn and crave for.
