| I thought I would write about the subject of Love | | | | We humans have a hard time loving people |
| from Lester's viewpoint. He often said that Love | | | | because we fear rejection. We put up walls |
| was one of the most often used but | | | | around ourselves to protect us from any more |
| misunderstood words in human experience. What | | | | hurt and to buffer the pain we are sure is to |
| Love brings to mind for most of us is that first | | | | come. We want Love instead of feeling safe to |
| kiss with our high school sweetheart, or meeting | | | | give Love. Lester said "Wanting equates to not |
| our spouse-to-be for the first time. | | | | having." So when we want Love, we create the |
| When we "fall in Love" there is a real chemical | | | | opposite, or rejection. |
| cocktail that is uncorked, poured into our blood, | | | | Lester was often heard to say, "Every feeling is a |
| and we feel high, giddy , and for a time, the world | | | | non-Love feeling." Fear, Pride, Grief, Apathy, etc. |
| is a blissful place. We see our beloved bathed in | | | | are all expressions of non-Love. So when we |

| Lester said that human Love is totally different | | | | Method (Release Technique). |
| from the way a Master defines Love, which is the | | | | Lester told me if I became totally loving by using |
| real Love of Beingness/God. He said that human | | | | his technique, all my goals would just drop in by a |
| Love is a very limited thing. "You do this for me, | | | | mere effortless thought. Why? Because it is such |
| and I will Love you." I, in turn will do that for you, | | | | a high state, you are in tune with the Whole |
| and you will Love me. In Latin, we use the term | | | | Universe, which is ALL LOVING. |

| There is the law of mutuality always running, and | | | | feelings, all the power of one's Self is available, |
| this so called Love due is partly a type of human | | | | untethered by the baggage of the past (the |

| There may or may not work out, and even if | | | | Getting back to Lester's statement at the lecture, |
| they do, there is no guarantee that Love, Inc. will | | | | if we would Love all the time, we would achieve a |

| After all, the reminder of that drug is always on | | | | would amazingly give us all the knowledge we |

| Sound familiar? On to what Lester had to say. | | | | The very fear of rejection causes us to be |
| At a New York City impromptu short lecture | | | | rejected. Anger at him/her for something said |
| Lester gave, he made this powerful statement, | | | | causes us to create the same thing over again |
| "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, and you'll you be so | | | | with someone else! Also, because Love is such a |
| happy...and healthy...and prosperous!" How could | | | | high state, it automatically will bring up all the |
| that be? The secret lies in Lester's definition of | | | | AGFLAP, or non-Love feelings, just as wording a |
| Love. "Love is total selflessness." Wanting for the | | | | goal in a high energy. |

| (not what we want). | | | | goal, "I decide to Love people no matter what." It |
| Love is someone knowing that "I AM YOU." | | | | stirred me up so badly I became violently ill and |
| Those reading this who are Sedona Method grads | | | | threw up for days. Lester nearly yelled at me, |
| will remember that on the feeling chart, Love is | | | | "Why did you stop releasing? You could have |
| very high, in ACCEPTANCE, right below total | | | | gone free!" We don't like the insecure or rejected |
| PEACE. | | | | feelings, so we slow our progress down. |
| So, we need to query ourselves, "Am I really | | | | If you remember a time you were truly happy, |
| loving?" Probably not, most of the time. When we | | | | you were most likely feeling very loving. Is it |
| Love our pets or someone's newborn infant, we | | | | true? Maybe you were helping in a selfless way, |
| feel this Love. Lester said that Love is Giving, with | | | | or maybe giving a gift to someone you really |
| no thought of Receiving, wanting nothing from the | | | | wanted to make happy. You might have been |
| other one. Difficult? Not really, according to Lester. | | | | teaching a child to ride a bike the first time or |

| Then why does it seem so hard to Love people? | | | | A good exercise is to go back and find times |
| How many of you have heard others say, "If | | | | when you were happy and investigate with the |
| only people were as easy to Love as dogs." | | | | Method what got in the way. Or during the day, |
| The reason for that is simple. We don't want | | | | when someone does something to bother you, |
| Love from them, just for them to be there when | | | | see if you can release and Love them anyway. |
| we get home, wag their tails or purr, take walks | | | | You will find yourself lighter and happier, freer and |
