What is Love?

by Karen Atkins

More has been written about Love than just about any other topic (except maybe sex -- and they are related, though possibly distant cousins). It’s so simple: Love is a vibration. It is a state of BEING. Most of us spend our lives trying to ‘find’ Love, without realizing that it is actually the very Nature of who we are. It is the highest of all vibrations and the unity that comes from the recognition of who we are at the deepest core of our being. As Seal says is his song ‘Love’s Divine:’ “’Cause I need love, love's divine. Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind, Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name.”

The way I see it, our name IS Love and we have just forgotten. So, as we raise our vibration higher and higher, the most pure form of LOVE reveals itself from within us. It’s not something we have to seek, and actually the more I found myself seeking it outside of myself in the form of symbols -- like relationships, acknowledgement, praise, attention, recognition, and the list goes on -- the farther away I got. It was only when I made the commitment to be gentle with myself and feel what was bubbling up inside of me, that I was able to start to feel the Love that was ever present in my being, in fact, it was BEING.

Once we allow ourselves to have that feeling, we no longer feel alone. We no longer NEED others. Which is not to say that we don’t enjoy connecting to others, and in my experience, I enjoy it even more than I did before, because I can fully be in the experience. The longing for something more subsides. I have and AM that ‘more,’ so the connection to another person is just icing on the already delicious flourless chocolate cake. When I sat down to write this, I asked myself, “Who am I to be answering the question 'What is Love?’” And for a minute I thought, I shouldn’t claim to be an authority. Then I realized that we should ALL claim to be authorities on LOVE because that is WHO WE ARE. The only thing we need to do is recognize ourselves. So I’m happy to say that I am an authority on Love because this is who I AM.
