First understand that within the construct of matter and the material universe
there are certain bonding agents that hold it all together.
When we interact with these bonding agents we are left with
sensations and feelings and interpretations.
Since the bonding agents must be everywhere, they are known as universal constants.
They are conditions that are unconditional and are to be found everywhere
and anytime within the creation of our entire material cosmos.

After these agents have passed through our animal sensations and feelings
and interpretations we end up referring to them
with the words love, happiness, health and the likes.
But understand; these are bonding agents that exist with or without our interpretations
. . . they are birthrights.
When we are balanced we experience their constant and consistent nature
and when we are out of balance we are left wanting them for their experience.
Though they are always all around us, we can shut ourselves off to the experience of them. Another name for these universal constants is -- "matters of the heart."

The heart is the first organ to form in the embryo as we are being built from a single cell.
It will beat nearly six billion times by the end of a full life.
It is the second strongest muscle in the human body.
The Latin word is cour and the word courage literally means heart time.

Today is Valentine's day, a day of the heart and for many loving and compassionate events. When you think of how powerful and central the heart is in our lives it is easy to see
why the most important relations are the ones governed by the heart not the head.
Head to head is competition -- heart to heart is compassion.

The heart is a giver, but reception is required before anything can be given
. . . there is literally nothing to give if nothing has been received.
The left side of the human body is receptive and the right side projects;
the heart is slightly left of center in the human body
in order to be receptive first -- giving second.
It receives nourishment then delivers what it receives to the rest of the body's cells.
It receives the universal constant of love, happiness and health
and then delivers it within the body and without.

If you want to be a giver you must first learn the art of receiving.
If you want to be a lover you must master the art of receiving love.
In order to receive love from others you must first be able to receive love from yourself.
This is one of the most under-developed skills in the human system.
People know how to take and they know how to want,
but to receive is an art that must become more highly developed.

If your cup is not overflowing, then all that you give is but a sacrifice
and a sacrifice means taking from the self to give to another.
This is not wrong, but if it goes on for too long, you will become depleted.
If depletion goes on too long, then all of the emotions that come with depletion such as irritation, sadness, loneliness and annoyance will stop over for a very long visit.

Learn to be so full that you overflow
and in this abundant condition you will give freely and unconditionally.
In order to overflow you must be able to super-receive.
In order to super-receive you must have a loving and adoring relationship
with who you are, how you are, what you are, wherever you are and whenever you are.
In this way you will teach others to love and adore who you are,
how you are and what you are whenever and wherever.
In this there will be an abundance of the sensation of love
-- the heart will receive and deliver and experience this constant, consistent,
sustained supply of the universal constant bonding agents that fill this material world.

 

 Happy Valentine's Day
-- named for a Saint who mastered this art and science with his life.
Go into your world and do the same.
Invest all the effort and discipline required for mastering Saint Valentine's capacity.
Do not substitute this experience with even the slightest amount of wanting.
Set aside all of your wanting and receive the bonding that is everywhere
. . . that is universal . . . that is constant.
