Love is a multiplex emotion, a metaphysical shapeshifter of many faces any one of which can enter your life and make itself known to you when you least expect it and, in a nanosecond, change it forever. Expressed in every language, the mercurial power and influence of love irrespective of what type it is, are phenomenal.
When spoken with gentleness, kindness, and compassion the subjective truth of love can transcend time and space and you with it. When expressed with shallow, careless, selfish intent and hidden agendas that result in you being used and abused, or if it’s withdrawn without warning, love will instantly put you asunder.
Yet despite the emotional chaos it can bring into your life, the memory of love can sustain you throughout your years. The Sanskrit language reflects love’s complexities by having ninety-six words for it whereas the English language has but one, with the abstract noun of the word being the same word, love. However, such simplicity allows for an infinite number of interpretations of this one word to be made.
Whether the love of another develops slowly or shows itself as instant attraction or dislike is the result of the chemical reaction that’s triggered in your body within the first seven seconds of you meeting someone new. Known as the drug of choice, C8H11NO2 + C10H12N2O + C43H66N12O12S2 is a chemical cocktail that’s made up of Dopamine + Serotonin + Oxytocin, hormones, and neurotransmitters which are produced by your hypothalamus and secreted by your pituitary gland; but everybody knows there’s far more to love than that.
The ‘more’ is the ingredients for this irresistible cocktail are made in the area of your brain that’s governed by your 6th chakra, your Third Eye, Anja. Referred to as the master instructor your 6th chakra corresponds to the endocrine system which is responsible for giving instructions to the whole of your body. This chakra is the bridge that lies between your 12th chakra, that of Absolute and Unconditional Love of the Divine Spirit which as it underpins the universes shines within us all, and your 2nd and 4th chakras which govern the spectrum of practiced love that’s expressed on the earth plane. Therefore, the many faces of love are the representations of your 12th, 6th, 4th, and 2nd chakras and provide you with insights into the relationship you have with others who provide you with countless reflections of who you truly are and are not.
However, between your 6th and 7th Chakras lies your karmic love chakra. Although a minor chakra, from the perspective of karma as causation being the sole purpose of human existence, it plays a major role. It enables your light being state to experience living life as matter, ergo, you are a light being learning what it is to be human, you are not human learning to be a light being. As such, the full spectrum of relationships is spawned from the love drug, which is at its most potent when you meet a past lifer. When meeting someone for the first time these chemical reactions double as a red flag waving in the etherics warning that there may be hazards ahead, even though your drug-induced feelings are convinced he or she is the one for you.
These conflicting signals are caused by the multifaceted faces of love that make people appear to be very different from who they really are. This necessary deception exists because when you meet a past lifer where karma or karmic love needs to be balanced involves you unwittingly receiving mental and emotional memories of a past life when he or she was your soul mate in this lifetime. Without such a deception, karma couldn’t be balanced.
Even though it’s unlikely a karmic love-driven relationship can succeed in a present lifetime, karma has been balanced, and the opportunity has been created for you to experience karmic love whilst balancing karma without creating more in the process, whether you take advantage of this is another matter. Furthermore, both parties are placed in a position where they can walk away (or not) from the experience having undergone valuable learning curves and gained wisdom from a scenario that couldn’t have taken place without multifaceted faces of love.
The many faces of love are not confined to romantic relationships, they are active within every aspect of your life with all those who cross your path during your life, whether it’s to do with your career, health, finances, or working with spirit and
irrespective of whether karma needs to be balanced or not. Each interaction with a person irrespective of who they are to you brings forth a face that’s appropriate at that time and it will change depending upon what occurs during that interaction and how it affects you.
There’s even a face you wear when you have zoned out, a process that allows your internal self to float along the external streams of consciousness when you are totally unaware of your external self and the stimuli surrounding it. The beautiful yet vacant face of love you unknowingly express when you are either lost in thought or in wonderment as you mentally travel in subjective time is always a sight to be seen.
Love is a multi-dimensional unknown higher force, and it spans the depth, height, width, and length of universal consciousness therefore the number of faces of love you possess is incalculably varied as is their true purpose. Yet love is relative, for some, it’s like a dream, or the entwining of hearts, for others the meeting of minds, or unfathomable or an unobtainable mystery to be enjoyed for as long as it lasts.
Then there are those who are totally dumbfounded, lost, and confused or feel let down by it or have never experienced it. None of the variances of love changes the fact that love in all its forms shines constantly through everyone. It’s seen in those who find themselves in despair, are frighted, feel isolated, alone, forgotten, or feel unworthy of love as well as those who have learned to love themselves, and are able to share their love, compassion, kindness, humility, patience and understanding with their fellow human beings because they know the value of their worth, which is priceless.
