I just read this paragraph in A Course In Miracles and I just have to share it!
"Love is not learned. Its meaning lies within itself. And learning ends when you have recognized all it is not. That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone. Love is not learned, because there never was a time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that everything you learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the knowledge of love and its one meaning."
As someone who insists on learning EVERY lesson that comes her way and has no problem bashing her head against a wall when she misses it; this paragraph rocked my world!
First of all.... Love is not learned.....
How many of us go around trying to learn how to love.
I know I do. We think it's the person we've chosen and so we move onto someone else or we blame ourselves for being unloveable (like THAT'S possible! sheesh!).
Second of all....there was never a time in which you knew it not.....
In all of our 'trying' and banging our heads against the wall all we really needed to do was be still and see that we have known it all along. It's been living inside of us all this time.
Third of all....That is the interference; that is what needs to be undone....
The interference. The resistance to love. When we seek and we believe we have to learn what love is we are in resistance to it's existence.
learning ends when you have recognized all it is not.... The suffering is needless and when we have come to the conclusion that love is not the stuff and people that surround us but who we ARE beneath all of that (Learning is useless in the Presence of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that everything you learned is meaningless); the suffering ends.
I can't wait to end the suffering....
