Albert Einstein’s mathematical equation for energy is well recognized. Even so, what does Einstein’s equation of E=mc2 have to do with love? (If you are a physicist, you may want to stop reading now, as this simplified explanation may cause you pain. If you are not a physicist, please read on…)
If everything in the universe is made up of energy and the manner in which that energy moves through the universe depends on that which moves the energy – to quote Deepak Chopra, we will call that which moves the energy “information” – then we could assume that everything (and I really mean everything) is made up of energy and information.
Are you still with me?
If the information that is attached to energy – again simplifying this, we will call this “intention” – invites the energy to take a form that our eye or instruments used by the eye can identify, then we often call that bundle of information and energy matter. Thus, everything in the universe is energy and information and if we can observe it, then we call it matter.
Therefore, love is nothing more than energy and information. The expressions of love that we can observe are nothing more than a different set of information that is attached to the energy of love and which manifests itself into matter – and thus, we can see those expressions – we can observe the expressions of Love.
To begin to become love, we must first intentionally provide a set of information to influence the pure form of energy; we must set the intention to be love. Setting the intention to be love means that we agree that love, in its essence, is a form of energy. And in setting our intention to be love, we are intentionally influencing that which moves the energy of love to come into existence in a manner that we can feel, sense, and/or intuit.
Similarly, if we set an intention to express love, then we are intentionally influencing the information that moves the energy of love in a different manner for the express purpose of being able to observe love. Isn’t this fun?
Therefore, if you want to be love, you must first set the intention to be love (i.e. provide a set of information to influence the movement of the pure essence of energy in a manner in which you will simply feel, sense, and intuit love). If you want to express love, than you set the intention to express love. (i.e. provide a set of information to influence the movement of the pure essence of energy in order to observe the expressions of love).
There is just one more step: let go of the outcome. If you want to be love, set the intention to be love. If you want to experience love, set the intention to experience love. And then (and this is very important so if you have fallen asleep, now is a good time to awaken) … get out of the flow of the energy so that it can do its thing, which may be completely different than what you initially imagined. If you set the intention to be love and then attempt to manipulate it, you have just changed the information that was attached to the original energetic flow of love. If you set the intention to experience love and then over manage everyone with whom you desired to express love, you have just changed the information that was attached to the energetic flow.
Make sense?
To summarize, everything in the universe is energy and information. If you want to feel love, set the intention (information) to be love (energy) and then let go of how that energy moves (don’t poke at it). If you want to experience love, then set the intention (information) to experience love (energy) and refuse to manipulate the flow of how experiencing love may occur (don’t knock the train off the tracks just because it is going in a direction you didn’t expect).
Namaste!
