"I Love You" has become an empty phrase. I offer a different approach for your consideration.
One of the toughest things about communication with your soul is the challenge of putting emotions and thoughts into words. That is why no one can define what the color blue is. The volume of the depth of shades of blue far exceeds our ability to express them. It's part of everyday human life. We even have a Supreme Court to define and interpret what is written in the Constitution.
We can only evolve through our relationships, and it's our closest relationships where we share and express the feelings of "love." The strength and value of those love relationships are based on our individual rankings of quality and quantity. One might expect more from a soulmate relationship but rarely do effort, energy, and the duration of energy exchange equal a 50-50 share.
In many relationships, out of balance has become the new measure of balance.
One such exchange is the expression "I love you." We count the frequency and sincerity of each occasion the phrase is used. This formula is part of the process of how we value the emotion of love in our closest relationships, both in how we give it and how we receive it.
I propose another way.
The phrase doesn't work because it's empty. It really has very minimal value. The first written records are Vedic texts dating back to ancient India that contain expressions of love and devotion within human relationships. I suspect the phrase originated with the cavemen, and we haven't been able to come up with anything better since.
Let me submit for your consideration a new way to look at an ancient and evolutionary miscommunication practically accepted as law today.
Let's say, "I feel your love" instead.
When do you say it? You say when you are at the moment in time where a significant love partner did something worthy of your comments on it. And, of course, you hear when your actions of effort and energy are worthy of your partner's notice.
When I speak of spiritual relationships and the evolution of your soul, it's not far behind that I will mention investing energy in creating your future. This includes your intimate relationship. It's not about what you get. It's about what you give. Giving encourages giving, which promotes balance and harmony. Creating this force creates movement that accelerates energy. Suppose you can grasp the concept of investing in your relationship with the intent of having your partner feel your love. In that case, you build a foundation that supports the acceleration of spiritual growth.
"I love you" doesn't do any of that. It is more of a formality like we might say good morning. We can say we love cheeseburgers but we can't feel the love from a cheeseburger, nor can we make a cheeseburger feel our love.
Today's thought from the light is to try and discard saying I love you and see how many "I feel you love's" you can generate. I think you'll find this new path of destiny with provide emotional substance well beyond what you experience today.
Love and light,
Jordan
