love enlightened... an online zine based on “if the buddha dated� by Charlotte Kasl.
stay loyal The journey, is to know yourself. You know you are not being loyal to yourself, when you don’t follow your gut, or ignore a loss of energy. Tapping into those ranges will help you become more in tune with how your path is, and your role here, on earth.
See your compassion and love, your inner perfection: you are..... the sun behind the clouds jewels buried in the mud undiscovered gold
oneness open To be intimate one must be able to merge and seperate Love is a rhythmic motion, protection and fascination. See the world like a kaleidoscope, be open to seeing things other ways. Understand your own impact to the world around you. You are responsible for your own happiness, be authentic, open to express our opinion, fears. If pressure arises to stop the path that feels more natural to you, address, that is about expanding your life, not about withdrawing your love. If you want a spiritually centered relationship you need to be aware of your own path.
You are your own identity, continue your path.
spiritual all We are all pure energy.... pure potential like stars with no names, soaring on earth. A pace of grace, no frilly expectations or acts of silly persuasion, do not mask who you are, nor play to gain security, let things flow at its own pace.
Relate by essence by seeing what is kind, natural and true.
lovingkindness Learn about yourself by observing your relationships with others. Be more acceptive of yourself, and compassion in who you are as a person. In life you can just remain a compassionate observer, to the journey of others, and decide how you want to connect to theirs. Be honest with your faults, or mistakes, and remember there are no imperfection-free relationships.
Observe the crowd, that energy field, everyone has a story to tell. We are moments in people’s stories, don’t leave a scar.
i’m here i’m ready i’m open believe clearly that you are worthy to be in love.
Send out a high-voltage invitation to love, by radiating joy, vitality, and truly caring for the well being of others.
dates are moments be you, don’t expect, it is a lesson, no one is right, or wrong desirable or undesirable, the only person that can reject you, is yourself a good relationship will feel flooded by daylight.
do we have common interests or values? is there a flow between us? do i feel comfortable being myself? let it be simple. -put forth an honest effort and let go of the outcome.
playful grow, helping each other learn, continue make a clear picture, proactive, assertive special language between the relationship,
