Opening the Skies

Spaciousness/emptiness is considered the Ground of Being or the Mind-ground—the heart of who we are.

Here spaciousness is love. But maybe not love in the traditional way that we think of love, which is often conditional. 

Often our loving has to do with–if you really loved me you would do…or say…or show it in some specific way that we feel like we need, or want, or must have in order to really feel or know love.

Spaciousness is love unbounded, completely unconditional–a pure kind of love that is almost impossible to imagine, because we are so conditioned to think of love in a particular way. To think of love the way that we think of human love, which again is conditioned–because often we bring our fears, attachments, longings, desires + hidden agendas to our loving.

Spaciousness-love is the love that accepts, knows, embraces whatever it is that is arising in the moment–simply because it is, simply because it is what’s happening.

What’s amazing and inconceivable and miraculous is that spaciousness-love is our most intimate experience. It’s functioning within each of us, all of the time. Deep fundamental acceptance is the heart of who we are.
