The Art of Loving from a Spiritual Perspective

================================================

Love from the perspective of the personality deals very much with feelings
and the importance of expressing one�s feelings.Feelings are by their very
nature very amorphous. They are here one moment and then gone the next.

The true �Art of Loving� deals not only with how one feels, which is
connected with the subconscious mind, it also deals very much with the
conscious mind and superconscious mind.The true �Art of Loving� involves
not just the feeling of love and romantic and sexual feelings, but also what I
would call a mental attitude of love. This means first off a commitment to be
unconditionally loving at all times with your partner even if you don�t feel
like it.

You may feel angry and feel like emotionally attacking your partner.
However, in the true �Art of Loving� this is not something you give into, for
from a Spiritual perspective this would be a total indulgence in your negative
ego.

�The Art of Loving� from a Spiritual perspective is always unconditionally

loving and never conditionally loving. It is never attacking or judgmental. It
only shares loving observations, Spiritual discernments and preferences. The
Spiritual �Art of Loving� always forgives even if your own negative ego
doesn�t feel like it. Spiritual love always communicates in a calm, rational,
unconditionally loving manner and does not argue or engage in ego battles.
Spiritual love is tolerant, patient, and always a love finder, not a faultfinder.

One of the keys to �The Art of Loving� is having an attitude of love, not just
feelings of love.

People who have developed �The Art of Loving� in their

mental body understand that to be right in a relationship one must first be
right with self and right with GOD. If one is not right with self and right with
GOD they will also be off-kilter and disconnected from their partner.

When the superconscious or Spiritual level is integrated into the equation of �The
Art of Loving� besides what has already been mentioned, there is an extremely high
level of Christ/Buddha consciousness that is infused into the process.

The true �Art of Loving� is a four-fold process involving the Spiritual, Mental,
Emotional, and Physical/Earthly levels. It is when �The Art of Loving� is practiced
from this integrated Spiritual and Higher Consciousness
perspective, that you will have the greatest possible fulfillment and success
within self and within your romantic Spiritual relationship.
