Sun-Days – love

“We accept the love we think we deserve.” – Stephen Chobsky

The spirit of Valentine ’s Day ushered in experiences and conversations of subjects not typically discussed in everyday rhetoric.  It was also the Asian New Year and a very special day in the Myra House because some members are of Korean descent.

  These two unique energies merged and the dinner and communal sharing were very meaningful and transparent.  The theme of the dinner was the color red in honor of Valentine ’s Day.  From red quinoa to red cabbage to goji berries, basically all edible things that we carry at Ecoterra encoded with the red frequency were prepared.

Ingesting these red frequency foods is said to promote vitality of the first bodily energy center, the root chakra, which relates to survival in the physical world and the lessons learned from this material experience.  The underlying topic of the night was the divine concept of love and the various ways each of us has given, received, or witnessed the condition less feelings.  Feeling a sense of love seems to be very important in the attempt to create a relaxed and contempt existence.  This state of acceptance in turn helps sustain our survival in our respective societies and the world.

The discussion was a great reminder that love is an immaterial root and its abstractions into the third dimension take infinite forms.  We typically think that the ecstatic feelings of love are accessed predominantly through human relationships and attractions but the conversation was a great reminder that what we call love is entirely subjective and can be felt with and through whatever beings or symbols we are open enough to feel it with.  This quote by Stephen Chobsky is becoming ever more apparent as reality seems to be this collection of material events in which the individual, the engager, attaches whatever emotions he or she feels to these objective events and experiences.  Thus it might be just as Chobsky says, a mere choice to get ever closer to bliss on the love gradient. The Myra House community strives to become conscious choosers as devote a great part of our everyday life to promoting and receiving love. This relates to another topic discussed which was the relationship between love and acceptance.
