When the rite thoughts persist the sub conscious mind is influenced. The dreams become transformed and the mind has a continous loop that hum's divine thoughts. Like a koan those thoughts break open the shell that reveals pearls of wisdom and awakening love.
That celestial loop has been eluding me. I know it because I have experienced but in too short stretches of time.
That's the bait I think we are running after. A state we know actually exists but we are not capable to govern yet. It's a most frustrating situation but by now I learnt to cope with that, may distracting the mind by excessive mental workload.
It eludes most of us spiritual seekers. That is why we carry que cards where ever we go in the form of environment, practice and friends. Suddenly sometimes it becomes spontaneous and opens us up to higher realities. Love is not something we can control. The more we try to control love the more difficulties we have. The desire to cultivate it gives us more and more glimpses of it and our false notions are revealed as well. Love is often something very different then we imagined. It is important to be open to that idea.
