Love Is Not a Secret

What secrets are you hiding?  What do you want to make sure that nobody knows?

• bankruptcy
• the way you treated your first husband
• what you said to your daughter last night
• you're using again
• stealing from work
• haven't paid your taxes in fifteen years
• you haven't had sex in fifteen years
• nobody has ever told you they love you
• you are/were abused

If you think you suck, if you think what you are hiding is really bad, I recommend seeing a documentary that streams on netflix called The Dhamma Brothers. It's about men in a maximum security prison who begin to practice meditation.  Some of these men have murdered multiple people and they've re-discovered their true nature.  You can, too.  

There's nothing anyone can do, think or feel that dims who you are - Loving Awareness.  

Maybe you feel guilty because your secrets aren't 'that bad' (whatever that means):

• you haven't done the laundry for a month
• you were relieved when your dog ran away
• someone told you you look angry all the time

There's no amount of guilt that dims who you are - Loving Awareness. 

Maybe you feel disconnected to Loving Awareness practice:

• you don't experience being Loving Awareness of disconnection
• you believe some people don't deserve love
• sometimes you wonder if this whole Loving and Awareness business is a grown up fantasy

There's no amount of confusion or doubt that dims who you are - Loving Awareness.
