  SPEAKER_00: What is love?
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: What is love?
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: you probably guessed it,
• 0:09
  but I'm not talking about the romantic love that the mainstream
• 0:14
  society impresses
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: upon us through media,
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_00: through movies,
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: through television,
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: through books,
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: through all kinds of entertainment,
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: through songs.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: They all talk about this romantic love, you know, love at first sight.
• 0:30
  And if you find the right partner,
• 0:32
  then all of your problems are going to be solved.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: And if you have a family with the right guy or the right woman,
• 0:40
  then life will be perfect and you'll never have to worry about
• 0:43
  anything again.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: overemphasized,
• 0:48
  over-idealized version of romantic love is really the only love
• 0:54
  that we get exposed
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: to in Western mainstream society and media.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's not the kind of love I'm talking about.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now,
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: obviously,
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: yes,
• 1:06
  if you are dating someone or married to someone that gives you
• 1:11
  that wonderful
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: romantic love feeling,
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: that's amazing.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And certainly,
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:17
  I am married to my soulmate and I love her every day more than
• 1:21
  I did the day
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: before.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's a wonderful,
• 1:26
  wonderful feeling of love when you have that genuine romantic
• 1:30
  love with someone.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm talking about a different kind of love.
• 1:35
  In fact,
• 1:36
  the Greeks have 12,
• 1:39
  I believe,
• 1:40
  I believe it's 12 different words for love.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And each love describes something very different.
• 1:48
  I encourage you to look that up and maybe I'll post it in the
• 1:51
  description for this
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: video as well.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: The 12 definitions for love in Greek.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the kind of love that I'd like to talk about today...
• 2:02
  is unconditional love and you know i've heard that term
• 2:07
  basically since the
• 2:08
  beginning of my spiritual journey and unconditional love you
• 2:14
  know the love without
• 2:15
  condition and you love everyone and you love everything well
• 2:18
  that's all wonderful
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: but
• 2:21
  I always had a hard time understanding and certainly feeling
• 2:25
  that particular type of love.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: it was the kind of love that Jesus,
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: or as I like to call him by his real name,
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeshua or Yaheshua.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: I call him brother, brother Yeshua.
• 2:38
  And all kinds of other avatars from the Hindu system and other
• 2:45
  systems have come
• 2:46
  through and they have emanated and radiated this kind of
• 2:53
  unconditional love that
• 2:54
  people just wanted to be around and that seemed to inspire
• 2:58
  almost instantaneous
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: healing.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: And...
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: unconditional love really,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: in my now understanding,
• 3:08
  doesn't really make it justice because this is the kind of love
• 3:12
  that's really at
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: the source of creation.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: This is the kind of love that permeates the entire universe,
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: the entire existence of all of creation.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Without this love, there would be no creation.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Some people call it God's love.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: Some people call it the omnipotent force of love.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Universal love, the universal mind, the universal heart.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's that force of creation that creates through love.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: And,
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 3:50
  when I sort of started wrapping my head around and wrapping my
• 3:52
  heart around this
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: concept that that is what most people refer to as unconditional love,
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: I was like,
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: how do I get there?
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: How do I feel this amazing love that supposedly humans have access to?
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: And it took me a long time without getting into too much detail,
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: but if you've been following my videos,
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: you probably know what's coming.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: As I started to heal myself and as I started to release my feigns,
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: my fears,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: my pains,
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: my anxieties,
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: my self-doubt,
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: all those limiting belief systems I've had,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: once I started releasing that,
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: more and more I...
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: regained access to the purity of my heart.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: And not just the physical heart,
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: but the energetic heart,
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: the heart chakra if you will,
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: but that non-physical aspect of the heart.
• 4:53
  And so the more work I did in that realm,
• 4:57
  and I'm certainly not done,
• 4:58
  there's lots more to do.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: But I realized that, oh, wait a second.
• 5:03
  Okay,
• 5:04
  so the more pain and fear I release,
• 5:07
  the more access I'm going to get to my pure heart.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: Because remember,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: when we come in as babies,
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: we are in that specific,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: all loving,
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: pure,
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: divine love kind of heart space.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: We're curious.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: We want to explore this creation.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: We're fascinated by everything.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: We want to touch everything.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: We want to put stuff into our mouth.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: And that is the kind of love that we can get access to once again.
• 5:37
  But we have to undo the armor that we have placed around our
• 5:41
  heart because of all
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: the pains and traumas that we've been through.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_00: mostly through childhood.
• 5:48
  So as I continued doing this work,
• 5:51
  the heart opened up more and more and more.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: And one of my teachers,
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: he said,
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: well,
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: he actually promised us,
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: if you see this work through to the end,
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: he calls it the hero's journey.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: If you see this hero's journey through to the end,
• 6:10
  then the promise at the end is that you are going to be in this
• 6:16
  open-hearted,
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: loving,
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: unconditional love kind of space without needing anything.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: It'll just be there 24-7.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: No matter what's going on in your world,
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: no matter who's triggering you,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: there won't be any triggers anymore.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: You will just be in this open-heart, loving space all the time.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: And at first I was like, ah,
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: That seems too good to be true.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I embarked on my hero's journey and I'm still on it.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: But I can certainly see now the light at the end of the tunnel.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: I can see that promise.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 6:53
  Because since my last deeper journey with him and our groups
• 6:59
  that we go to,
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: I really dug deep and released a lot of my childhood pains.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then the next day during integration,
• 7:14
  I was so exhausted and sort of beside myself because I could
• 7:18
  not believe how much
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: pain a human heart can hold on to.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: But evidently, we are stronger than we think we are.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: So regardless, the question was, what's going to change now?
• 7:35
  What's the one thing in your life that's going to change now
• 7:38
  starting today after
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: this experience I've had?
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, a bunch of people went before me and I...
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: I tried to come up with something and I couldn't.
• 7:47
  I didn't know what was going to be different because I had no
• 7:52
  reference point as to
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: how I would live my life.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: Now with realizing,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: first of all,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: how much pain I'm holding on to and having released a big chunk of it,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: how that would affect my day-to-day life.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't know how it would affect me.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I said.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then he said...
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: May I make a suggestion?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: I said, please, go ahead.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: And he said simply one word.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Everything.
• 8:22
  He said everything would change because you're no longer
• 8:25
  holding on to the pain,
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: the pain around your heart.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_00: You have unlocked your heart in a big way by releasing all this pain.
• 8:33
  And now you're going to see and feel much more naturally in
• 8:39
  tune and in alignment with the
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: This natural,
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: unconditional,
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: some people call it divine love that is inherent in you and in everyone.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: We all have access to it.
• 8:51
  But it's because we've been through so much shit all of our
• 8:57
  lives that we put an
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: armor around the heart,
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: especially as children,
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: so we don't have to feel those painful emotions anymore.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: So all we have to do basically is to take off that armor,
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: but that comes with some deep,
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: deep shadow work,
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: obviously.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway, long story short...
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: I am now starting to feel that love.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: And it's always there.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't feel it around my entire heart.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_00: I feel it sort of at the bottom, on the top, and then on the back.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: So...
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Those are the two places that I can feel it.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: And it's always there.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's a little bit less.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's more.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: But I wake up with it.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: I go to bed with it.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: And it's there throughout my whole day.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: No matter what happens.
• 9:48
  No matter what kind of stress or work-related situations or
• 9:53
  people are fighting or
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: whatever the case may be.
• 9:55
  Anything that happens now that used to trigger me either
• 10:00
  doesn't trigger me or...
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: I become aware of it and I'm like, oh, haha, I can catch it.
• 10:06
  It's like,
• 10:07
  oh,
• 10:08
  previously this would have triggered me,
• 10:09
  but it doesn't anymore.
• 10:11
  So I am much more easily able to observe myself and how I react
• 10:21
  and how I behave in
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: everyday life.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah,
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: this is still ongoing obviously,
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: but ever since that journey,
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: which is now two weeks past,
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: wonderful opportunities have come my way just out of the blue.
• 10:42
  Synchronicities,
• 10:43
  serendipities are starting to happen and all I have to do
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: is surrender to that feeling in my heart.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: This is what following your heart really means.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: And again, I never understood that term.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: I never understood the concept.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Follow your heart.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, first of all, you have to get in touch with your heart.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: But now I'm starting to realize, okay, so that's what it means.
• 11:08
  I just have to maintain access to this space in my heart and
• 11:14
  navigate and see and feel life
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_00: From that perspective, from the heart.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Not from the mind,
• 11:23
  because living life of the mind is like trying to fly an
• 11:26
  airplane with its
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: auxiliary motor on.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: So it doesn't work, right?
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: The heart itself has such...
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: in incredible intelligence.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because this is your access portal.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: This is your access portal to the divine,
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: to the divine mind,
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: to the divine heart,
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: whatever you want to call it,
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: to your creator of your understanding.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: So you're really tapping into the universal intelligence,
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: that which created everything,
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: the love that created everything.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: And the more you align yourself with that through the heart,
• 12:06
  Well,
• 12:07
  the more you are in alignment with creation itself,
• 12:10
  the creational force of love itself.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then life starts to become very easy.
• 12:20
  because you're no longer stressed about all the things that we
• 12:23
  stress about.
• 12:24
  You're no longer burdened by the loud voice of the ego trying
• 12:31
  to plan things in the
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: future or trying to reminisce about the past or regret the past,
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: whatever the case may be.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: You are in the moment,
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: in the moment,
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_00: in the now,
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: in your heart and in flow with the creational force
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the kind of love that I'm talking about.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: So that is love to me.
• 12:54
  Even the word love falls really short of giving a label or
• 12:59
  giving a description to that feeling.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's beyond the definition of love that I've ever encountered.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: Even unconditional love doesn't do it justice.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's really hard to put into words, certainly English words.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe the Greeks have better definitions for that kind of love.
• 13:24
  But that is truly a miracle of being alive and being a human
• 13:31
  because that is our birthright.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: We have the right to feel this way every single day.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: And now you probably know why.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: The whole world,
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: the whole system,
• 13:44
  these governments and all these countries that are most of the
• 13:53
  time not treating
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: their citizens very well.
• 13:56
  But in general,
• 13:57
  just the whole system and religions and governments and
• 14:02
  politics.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: All those things, now looking at it from this perspective...
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: are really designed to keep us away from this thing.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: To keep us away from looking within ourselves.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: To keep us away from releasing the pains,
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: the fears,
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: the worries,
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: the doubts,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: whatever the case may be.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_00: And accessing our true heart,
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: our true self,
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: true love,
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: divine love,
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: whatever you want to call it.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: So imagine that, you know.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: That...
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: It really puts the movie The Matrix into perspective.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Every time I watch it,
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: I see something else and I see a deeper layer of meaning to this movie,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: The Matrix.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: They really told us a lot in that movie.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: So this whole matrix is designed to keep you asleep,
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: to keep you a slave to the system,
• 14:54
  to keep you dependent and to not have you embark on your hero's
• 15:00
  journey and to
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: embark on your self-empowerment process.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: And certainly not to embark on your way to your heart,
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: to access the true divine heart that is within you.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: So, long story short, that is what is love to me.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: And it's an unfolding process.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: It continues.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: And every day I notice a little bit something different.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: But it's a wonderful journey.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: I highly recommend it.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: It does come with a price.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: You'll have to...
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_00: You'll have to go through ego death, most likely several of them.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even know if I've had mine yet.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Certainly the ego has been much, much quieter, but it's still there.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you enjoyed this video.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for watching.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_00: And please let me know in the comments what is love to you.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: How are you experiencing love?
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: How are you getting in touch with your heart on a day-to-day basis?
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'd love to hear from you.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much.
