We are born with an unlimited capacity to love. We love the strangers who introduce themselves as our parents or
caretakers and we love anyone whose energy matches our sensibility. We do not discriminate because of color, culture, religion, intelligence, age, health, financial status or beauty.
We love those who are familiar, whose sound and smell and touch are soothing, comforting or energizing – and – we are 
also curious about those who are unfamiliar. With wide-eyed excitement we explore and examine everything and everyone around us.
We sing freely, laugh openly, giggle incessantly, cry and scream ferociously, and find ourselves engrossed in play without worrying about time or productivity or how we appear to others. We are totally present in the moment, giggling
happily one moment and crying hysterically the next. Our emotions are right on the surface, easily triggered, and totally labile, easily shifting from one emotional state to another.
Our bodies and our minds are continually growing, learning, expanding and becoming. Along the way, we are taught to 
become civilized. We are warned about dangers, stopped from exploring, stifled in our curiosity, taught the ways of our society, and expected to follow the “rules”. It is as if our love has been put to sleep, like sleeping beauty in the famous fairy tale, who is only awakened by the loving kiss of her prince charming.
- Imagine what is possible when all that suppression and blockage is removed!
- Imagine awakening your love to the real possibilities in this world and beyond.
- Imagine yourself once again observing the world with child-like curiosity and freedom from pre-conceived ideas, with an open heart and a discerning mind.
Imagine….
My beloved father, a gentle, kind and sensitive man, an immigrant from Jerusalem (before it became part of Israel) with a deep understanding of living in this world, wrote this in my junior high school yearbook:
Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way
Those words stayed with me for many years until I realized that I cannot “will” everything to happen. There are forces outside of myself, the energetic forces of nature and all living entities as well as the powerful influence of the minds and intentions of other human beings.
My father had an open, loving heart, but my mother wrote a different message in that same yearbook. Her message revealed through her attitude, behavior and the way she tried to teach me to live, was:
Love Many, Trust Few
Learn To Paddle Your Own Canoe
She taught me not to trust others, not to rely on others, not to ask for help, and to be independent and self-reliant. That worked quite well but only to a limited extent. I secured a tenured professorship, I was invited to speak at numerous professional conferences, I wrote a book series, published hundreds of articles, taught classes and workshops but I tended to do most of it alone – not asking for help, even when needed.
Over the years I had participated in countless retreats and trainings that taught about success, healing, sexuality, love and relationships.
My favorite training, the one that stood out for me above all the others, was taught by my teacher and mentor, Ken Keyes, Jr., a quadriplegic and businessman, who had uncovered the secret to creating unconditional love.
In that unforgettable workshop, somewhere toward the end, we were each blindfolded and led toward the outdoor garden with cymbals blasting, singing bowls strummed, drumming and singing and support until each of us was stopped and an attendee washed and kissed our feet. This was an introduction to sweet, reverent, respectful and unconditional love, the kind of love that heals our wounds, opens our hearts, and enables us to create and live in a loving world.
Love Is The Answer
Whatever issue, dilemma, problem or crisis you are currently facing, whatever your question or doubt or emotional trauma, there is truly only ONE ANSWER, ONE SOLUTION, ONE TREATMENT – LOVE.
The Problem Is Not
That Love Is Impossible Or Won’t Work In This Situation
The Problem Is
Your Lack Of Knowing, Experiencing And Being Love
You have an opportunity today, right now, to finally re-discover the love that has been lurking deep within your heart, the love that your inner spirit has been longing to express.
It is as if a dark cloud, a heavy shroud, a murky confusion, a negative shield has been removed. 
Love cannot be explained or taught or even imitated. Love must be felt, experienced, received, and expressed outward toward your world. It is the cumulative effect of expressing your love freely and openly toward those who reciprocate and even with greater emphasis toward those who don’t seem to deserve it.
Remember, you, and everyone you meet, is still that beautiful loving being that entered this world in an innocent state of wide-eyed, loving receptivity. But personal life experiences and intentional education may have blinded your vision from the truth about what love really is and the experiences of all those people you meet may have temporarily blocked the flow of love from within their hearts and minds.
Where There Is Love There IS A Way
- Are you tired of struggling and suffering in love?
- Do you enjoy some good times, some loving moments and many other moments of frustration, hurt, rejection, emotional pain, longing, jealousy, comparison to others, and disappointment in love?
- Are you ready to discover the magic of living your life in love?
Personal and professional training has taught me that when we strip away the many layers of protection and when we begin to approach others with curiosity, wonder and love, miracles do happen.
