LOVE IS ACCEPTANCE

Some people are easier to love than others, and they are the ones, therefore, who experience a lot of love. They experience it both within themselves and coming to them from others. What is their secret? Amazing good looks? No. Stunning personalities? No. Money and power? No. Their secret is none of the things we assume will make us more lovable.

Their secret is that they love, and by that I mean, they accept others the way they are. Isn’t that when
you feel loved—when you feel accepted rather than judged?

Acceptance is the opposite of judgment and the antidote to judgment, and acceptance brings us the
experience of love. What is the experience of love? It is the experience of accepting and being accepted, the experience of relaxation, of being able to just be, without struggling and striving to be any different than we are or requiring that others be different than however they are. That is what we all want—to just be able to relax and be okay just the way we are and to be okay with others just the way they are.


When someone gives us this gift of acceptance, we love them. What a gift! It is a gift you would
never reject and hopefully one you will return, because returning it—giving others this gift—brings
you the experience of love. Loving and accepting others feels good. It is its own reward. It isn’t even
necessary for others to love and accept you in return because it’s enough to just feel love and acceptance for others.

The ego loves, or tries to love, in order to get love or something else it wants. But this kind of love
isn’t really love. It’s more like being nice, and it may not entail acceptance at all but something more like tolerance for the purpose of getting something. This is a very different experience than love. Tolerating people is better than not tolerating them, but it’s not the same as enjoying them, which can only come from true acceptance.

You accept others because you appreciate the unique expression of life that they are. What amazing things these human forms are! And all the different personalities! When we can just let people
be the way they are, it is such a relief—for us and for them. Allowing people to just be is loving them, and this appreciation and allowing flows from our true nature, or Essence, which is love. Accepting and loving is how Essence feels toward life and every one of its creations.

What makes someone lovable? Certainly their acceptance of us makes them lovable. But what also
makes them lovable is their acceptance of themselves. People who accept themselves, who are
gentle and kind to themselves, are also gentle and kind to others. We see these qualities in them, and
we relax. And when we relax, we become aligned with our true nature.

People who love and accept themselves are lovable because they reflect Essence, and that’s what
we all really want—not someone to do our every bidding and match our every fantasy. What we really want is to be with someone who knows how to love because our deepest desire is to love. Therefore, we are drawn to those who know how to love. They are our teachers—the way-showers in this world. And this is our destiny as well—to be a place of refuge, where egos dissolve and all that is left is the love that we are.
