WHY CREATION? THE GRANDEST LOVE AFFAIR! THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVERS

Imagine a love affair.

We all remember ‘falling’ in love and the charm of the first glance. The ensuing excitement of the ‘chase’ and wonder of capitulation. The poignancy of the first kiss. The pleasures even in yearning to be one. The bliss of coming together. The joy of a fully blown love and its deep affection. The deep content in the mature bonds of an ever-growing love. Each stage has its own charm. None is complete in itself. Infact we fret each time a stage gets ‘over’, and try to recapture it, yet ironically wanting more than that.

Imagine now the love affair being experienced simultaneously at all levels...no stage giving way to the other but imbued with them all! And add to that the knowing, wholly knowing (thereby without fears) that the love Is and will always Be. That there will be no decline or stagnation, as lovers perpetually fear ; and that even the best will become better and expanded yet no stage and its charms going away!

Imagine every desire and potential of both partners in the relationship experienced. Every fantasy fulfilled. The lovers allowing, enabling and indeed reveling, in all aspects of each other. Every nuance of each one is explored and nurtured and fallen in love with! In analogy you are visiting  every place you felt like together; wearing every beautiful outfit for your lover…exchanging every gift you ever felt like giving or receiving…Rising, not falling  in love then, all boundaries erased.

And in this analogy of our very human ‘love’. can the paradox of God individuating as each of us, and yet being All That is be most clearly felt! In this analogy of our very human love does the question "Why Creation, life, manifestation?" become redundant! Lovers never ask why their love!?  And creation is indeed the grandest love affair in the world- you can call it Gods love affair with Self ; you can call it our love affair with Self ; you can call it the love affair of the manifest & unmanifest!  It is a courtship even as it is its consummation! It is the seeking even as it is its fulfillment! It is the beginning romantic stage even as it is mature deepened one! It is ever anew yet safe and secure!

View creation through a love affair… the eyes of lovers ... and you will never ask why creation? Why existence?

Note: each step of the love affair can be viewed in reference to your personal journey- or evolution as a whole: from nascent to early man; then the ego developing, growing and yearning to go back. The joy even in knowing, seeking. Becoming one with higher selves and Gods…knowing there never was a separation….

We are all at different ‘points’ of this larger journey…
