Love, it’s a word that has been written about, sung about, and philosophized about for centuries. But what if I told you that love isn’t just the warm, fuzzy feelings we experience in the presence of our significant other? What if I told you that love is also about the things you didn’t know? What if I told you that love is also about the situations and experiences you label as bad?

Today, we’re going to explore the hidden dimensions of love, those aspects that often go unnoticed, yet are essential to understanding the depth and complexity of love. So, fasten your seatbelts, dear listeners, because we’re about to embark on a journey into the unknown territories of love.

1. Love and Vulnerability

Our first stop on this journey is the often-overlooked connection between love and vulnerability. You see, love isn’t just about sharing your joy; it’s about sharing your vulnerabilities, your fears, your insecurities. Love is the safe space where you can expose your true self, flaws, and all, and still be cherished.

In a world that often prizes strength and self-sufficiency, it’s easy to forget that love and vulnerability can be catalytic to each other. It is in those moments of opening up to someone you trust, and saying, “I’m not perfect, and I’m not okay,” that love truly deepens.

When you are vulnerable with your significant other or someone you trust, this can cause your significant other to show compassion, support you, and be more understanding. Compassion, support, and understanding are aspects of love.

But also know that when two people are in love it creates a space to be vulnerable with each other. Hence there is an energy dance between two lovers. An intertwining of energies that is so privately shared when being vulnerable puts you in a state of giving and receiving.

But knowing that this vulnerability is only in this human incarnation but your true self, your soul which is part of The God Mind is invulnerable. Because it is Love. Remember you are a Soul living in a human’s body.

2. Love and Growth

Next, let’s talk about the profound link between love and personal growth. Love isn’t a stagnant pool; it’s a dynamic river that pushes us to become better versions of ourselves. In a loving relationship, you’re not just committed to your partner; you’re committed to your own growth.

Many times, I come across individuals and couples that become the relationship and forget their individuality that creates that relationship. When this happens, they become burnt out and stressed most of the time.

It’s in the challenges, the conflicts, and the compromises that we find opportunities for personal development. If everything seems okay and you feel comfortable, no one seeks to improve or grow. It is when they are uncomfortable and seems like there is no way out that we seek guidance and self-growth.

Love isn’t about finding someone to complete us; it’s about finding someone who inspires us to become our best selves. Love is also about finding that part of you, The Self, which is you that wants to be joyous, creative, expressive, humble, and show compassion.

3. Love and Imperfection

Ah, imperfection, that’s another uncharted territory of love. We often have this idealized image of love where everything is perfect, and our partner is flawless. But real love, the kind that withstands the test of time, embraces imperfection.

But also Knowing that we all are perfect in the mind of The Creator. This imperfection is an illusion of course because God and Love only create what’s perfect. It’s just us humans who miscreate that is why there seem to be imperfections.

It’s about accepting your partner’s quirks, their annoying habits, and their past mistakes. Love isn’t about finding someone without flaws; it’s about finding someone whose flaws you can cherish.

4. Love and Change

Now, let’s discuss the ever-elusive connection between love and change. Love isn’t static; it’s a force that propels us forward. When we truly love someone, we don’t try to change them; instead, we support their growth and transformation.

Love is about encouraging your partner to pursue their dreams, even if it means they might change along the way. It’s about being a witness to their evolution and celebrating each chapter of their journey. Love is about not having a hold on your partner as if they are your possession. Trust your partner and don’t fear. Let your partner feel that sense of freedom. Freedom to be, choose, and love you in the best way they know how to.

5. Love and Resilience

Lastly, let’s explore the resilient nature of love. Love isn’t always smooth sailing; it weathers storms and endures hardships. It’s during these challenging times that love proves its strength.

It’s when you face adversity together when you stand by each other’s side through thick and thin, that you truly understand the depth of your love. Love isn’t just about sunny days; it’s about finding shelter in each other’s arms when the world gets tough.

All the pain and suffering are also part of love. Every pain, hardship and the negative situation is love showing you how you are miscreating. It’s like the only way The Creator can show you who you are or let’s say for you to remember who you are is by giving you the opposite of that which you seek.

That is because Love can’t make and give you love that is outside of you but to show you where you are not being loved. That is who you truly are. So, the best way for Love, God to show you unconditional love is by giving you a situation so you can demonstrate love, to demonstrate peace, and to show compassion.

If you ask God and Jesus for peace in your marriage, they can’t give you peace because peace is who you are. So, all they can do is give you a situation which is manifested by you so you can see what you are not to know who you are.

This means for you to show that you are already peaceful by being peaceful. You will feel that discord in you when you are not being peaceful. The fact that you prayed and asked for peace in your life is because on some level you already feel you are not being peaceful.

So, what’s the bottom line here? Love is so much more than just romantic gestures, candlelit dinners, and passionate moments. Love is about vulnerability, growth, imperfection, positive change, and resilience. It’s about embracing the unknown aspects of love and realizing that they are an integral part of the journey.
