The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz, Janet Mills - Waterstones The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz, Janet Mills - Waterstones

Some might argue that the problem lies in the upbringing of children, but the real problem prevails in the programming of our minds. Humans hunt for love. We feel that we need that love because we believe we don’t have love, because we don’t love ourselves. We hunt for love in other humans just like us, expecting to get love from them when these humans are in the same condition as we are. They don’t love themselves either, so how much love can we get from them? We merely create a bigger need that isn’t real; we keep hunting and hunting, but in the wrong place, because other humans don’t have the love we need.” When the lies you’ve carried with you throughout life are removed, you then must clean the wounds. The wounds where those lies were deeply embedded. To do this, you have to forgive those who hurt you. Forgive yourself. No matter how egregious the mistake, or how painful the hurt they caused was, forgive. Y ou’ll know forgiveness has set in when you can revisit a wound or touch its scar and it doesn’t hurt. You don’t retract or wince, and you don’t shy away from looking at it. This lesson is not only in reference to other human beings, but it also conveys the meaning of being in peace with yourself. When you are aware that everyone around you has emotional wounds with emotional poison, you can easily understand the relationship of humans in what the Toltecs call the dream of hell. From the Toltec perspective, everything we believe about ourselves, and everything we know about our world, is a dream".Loving yourself in this world of madness is becoming harder and harder, despite all the inventions that made life easier for us. The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life. Once upon a time, a master was talking to a crowd of people, and his message was so wonderful that everyone felt touched by his words of love. In the crowd there was a man who had listened to every word the Master said. This man was very humble, and he had a great heart. He was so touched by the Master's words that he felt the need to invite the Master to his home. The only way to master love is to practice love. You don’t need to justify your love, you don’t need to explain your love; you just need to practice your love.”
