“Love is as elusive as a firefly on a hot summers night. Its true meaning and purpose seems to be an enigma that confuses one and all.” Jesus would explain. “To understand we must initially realize that there are two loves, profane and sacred. First let me talk about both loves in board strokes; love is life. It is that binding force between a parent and child and one human being to another human being. It is the connecting fabric of the cosmos and the most awesome force in all of creation.”

“Now,” Jesus would say, “profane love is the love that we experience from our humanness that may be conditional or unconditional. It is the love that is mortal. This love has always been the gist of the storytellers and the mythmakers. The resulting legacy of these stories and myths, of a love lost and a love found, presents to us an inner teaching of the joys and sorrows, the gifts and the woundings of our journey through life.  Profane love may be sexual, that most magical and powerful attraction of opposing and corresponding forces found in nature, or platonic, that deep and essential emotional power of life.  It may heal but it also may destroy through its dark side of reckless passion and illicit love. Many times these are the forces behind the betrayal and the broken trust and faith that are experienced in life. Profane love may be wondrous and mysterious and bring a joy and lightness to our soul. But when it is used in a wrong way, it may devastate a life at one extreme; or at the other extreme it may lead to a fear of intimacy and hence a fear of sex. And the love that may bring bliss will now bring pain.” 

Jesus would continue; “My dear students, we want to love and to be loved. Love and intimacy, in every which way, is so very essential for our health and well-being. It allows us to feel that connection and oneness that is so important to our souls growth, our happiness and our contentment. To hold someone in our arms while they cry may be one of the peak experiences of emotional intimacy. To share in another’s pain and to help them release it opens a doorway to each other’s soul, which will then lead to a greater sense of emotional and physical intimacy between the two. To laugh together in joy and to hold one another’s hand in a loving way that is unconditional only can increase our wellness and our sense of belonging.

Let me explain to you a way to increase your profane love that is very simple; it’s just talking to each other. Talking means face-to-face, eye-to-eye, and heart-to-heart with total focus and a caring and respectful attitude. We all know that communication is so important in all aspects of life and that a great cause of disharmony is miscommunication. With all communication, truth is paramount. With emotional and physical intimacy, truth is also of the utmost importance as well as what I refer to as ‘soul sharing.’ This is a deeper level of communication that comes from the depths of one's soul. Loved ones talk and share as soul mates in a dance of life that is sometimes glorious and sometimes painful. But through the highs and lows of life and relationships loved ones are always there for each other.” Jesus would finish discussing profane love by asking his students to do the following exercise:

Partner Exercise—Soul-Sharing:

The Preparation: Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. One of the best ways to do this exercise is to cook a meal together and while it is cooking, you perform the exercise and then share a meal together after the exercise.

The Beginning: Please sit on the floor in a comfortable posture, facing each other with both you and your partner’s knees slightly touching each other. Hold hands; look into each other’s eyes and breath deeply and slowly.

The Exercise: When you are each ready, speak your words to each other from the depths of your soul. (Pause) Be silent. Now, bend at the waist so that your foreheads touch, rest lightly in silence, then speak the words of your mind to each other. (Pause) Be silent. Now, return to your upright position, release your hands and put them on each other’s heart, rest in silence feeling each other’s heart beating, then speak the words from your heart to each other. (Pause) Be silent.

The Conclusion: Hug and kiss each other. Thank, Bless and Love each other. Finish this experience by sharing a meal.

DIVINE LOVE
