Lovers Tarot Card : Perception and Subjection

Love is your perception of it

“Love” is but a perception. It is a perception of perfection, which of course is entirely subjective. It is a subjective perception of how we perceive the divine. Be mindful of what this means to you. It is contingent upon your birth vision, that is to say, what you incarnated on the earth to achieve. Love is felt when we feel supported in this endeavor. When we encounter another being on the planet that supports our intentions we feel love.

We feel a connection. We each have a spark of the divine in us. This spark is the fire of our passion, our mission, our true essence. We seek out others, whether consciously or not, whose spark is of the same frequency as our own. When we find them, we feel that their spark touches our spark. This gives a sense of oneness. We discover that through them, our spark intensifies. It adds fuel that creates a stronger burning of our inner fire. We desire this more. We want to be in the energetic and spiritual field of this person.

We sense that our own energy is adding to the fuel of their own spark, their own fire. It is not a drain to us. It feels right and it feels real. In this way, love is a synergy of giving and taking energy. Energy in this way begets more energy. Love is to fuel another’s spark. Sometimes this fuel comes in the simple manner of showing support. Let this other (other aspect of yourself in a separate human form) know that they are valid and vital.

It is common to feel separate from others based on our individual missions and the individual path this mission has put us on. To encounter another who is obviously on our path with us and who understands what it means to be on this path is to be fueled with powerful energy. This energy is love. Whatever we can do by way of validation and support of another in achieving their birth vision is love. The more selfless this is given, the stronger the energy of it is.

Therefore, try making a kind act about the receiver. Do not make it about you by expecting something in return. By expecting something in return for a kind act you offer, you only dull down or deaden the effects of it. Express true love by expecting nothing in return. Expecting something in return will degrade the gratitude process of the one who offers the gratitude. Accept their gratitude without qualifying it with demands.

Accept but do not expect. By doing this, you enhance the sense that the other will experience of love. Now they are energized. This energy will carry them forward. This energy will enable ripples to go forth into the universe. These ripples will go forth into the universe and touch and effect more and more and more. In this way, it will be returned to you. Will you identify it as coming from the person you effected? You should not try to identify it as such. Do not have an expectation. Just accept what you receive and be grateful for its acceptance.

This is a product of the synergy that you yourself helped bring about. This is why we must show kindness to others. Appreciate those you love, but show love to all. We are all a piece, a part of a much greater whole. There are those who share with us a certain aspect of this whole. These are the ones we are naturally and magnetically drawn to. These are the ones who we will “fall in love with.” These are the ones we will most want to enhance and support. But this does not mean dismiss and ignore all others. Show respect and appreciation for all.

Many on the earth misunderstand love. They mislead their designation of it with mind felt, ego-centered obsessions out of fear. They will mentally choose a person. They will declare this person as the one they are “in love with” but this person is not on their path. Their paths do not support one another, but their minds will not accept this. They feel that because their mind has declared it, it must be perfect and true, for they dwell in their minds.

Their ego is what propels them, not their hearts, not their spark or their fire. This is detrimental. This creates a ripple effect of disharmony. Now, they are depriving their self the opportunity to express love for one that is on their path and supports their birth vision. In so doing, they are also hindering the other in doing the same. And what of the others out there who are truly on the path of them or the other they are obsessed with? They too are being slowed down and/or denied of what can and should be ultimately beneficial to them.

In an ideal and perfect sense, this will right itself, as the tower situation it creates tumbles and collapses. But the mind and the ego can be a powerful effector in this. In the light of fear, it will not let go or release. This will slow down the process of growth and evolution for those involved. When love is right, you know it. When it is not right, you know it. When you know it, accept it. Let it go if it is not real. Release it. Support your own growth and the growth of others by not clinging to what is false. When the lovers card comes up for you in a reading, ask yourself does this person or this situation truly enhance my path in life? Do I support its? Be honest with your answer, and accept it if it is not exactly what you wanted to discover.

The Lovers: Asking, “What is Love?”

The Lovers Tarot Card: Love is the very act of selflessness

As you consider the Lovers card of tarot, ask yourself one of the oldest questions in human history: what is love? Maybe love is a general sense that the world is a better place with this other being in it, and you want to experience the world more and more within the paradigm of this being. In this way, love is attached to “I.”

On the one hand it is the desire for well-being of this other being, but on the other hand, it is a desire for their well-being so that you yourself can feel good knowing that their well-being is guarded. In the purest sense, there really is no selfless act. We may act so that we receive in return from others. In this sense, the actions we perform are about them, but we do want to know that they received a positive benefit from it, and this knowing gives us a good feeling. Therefore, this is our reward- the knowing that they received a positive benefit. In this sense, there are no selfless acts.

So, maybe love is a concern for the well-being of others when you know that all you will receive in return is the knowledge that their life is that much better, and the good feeling that gives you. With this in mind, maybe the best way to show love for others and love for the world is just to do deeds, both grand and small to benefit others and the world with no expectation of anything concrete coming back to you.

By attaching no expectations to what you will get back for your actions, what comes back to you will be pure, perfect, and exactly what you need. What is love? There is no one perfect answer, but the quest for an answer as you meditate on the lovers tarot card can only do good for the world.

Today is a day to accentuate and appreciate connections of all types. In what ways are you not alone? This is not a matter of what romantic relationship you may or may not be in, although if that is a strong connection for you, what can you do to augment it today? What are your connections? Who do you enjoy being around? If you are at work, who at work depends on you for support? Who do you depend on? Who’s presence makes your day that much more bearable and nicer? Who do you look forward to seeing every day? Friends? Family? Coffee shop barista?

Explore your connections today. Take note of which are strong and if not celebrate them, at least give a word of silent thanks. These connections are a big part of what makes life good.  This is the advice of the Lovers tarot card for today.
