The Circle of Love

We know that virtually anything is possible when we work together, and that every one of us makes a difference. We embrace diversity as a source of growth and inspiration.

We also see beyond our differences to connect with that place in all hearts that wants only to love and be loved. In freely sharing our sacred love, these Circles of Love support a global shift towards a celebration of all life through love. Circles of Love are intended to inspire each one of us to be all that we can be in every moment of our lives.

There are two basic ways to start Circles of Love. No individual can live alone; no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world.

Martin Luther King talks about loyalties that each of us have, and consequences for peace on Earth. We start with the each and every single one of us, and ask that most urgent of questions: Who is included in our circle of our love right now? To whom do we display that fierce urgency of compassion? There was a song that used to ask: Let the circle of your love deepen, widen, and expand, until it encompasses the whole universe. When it does, it will enfold you as well in a way that is whole, healing, and worthy.

We all have egos. Our egos keep saying: If the circle of our compassion encompasses only one individual, our own self, it is selfishness. If the circle of our concern encompasses only one family our own , it is nepotism. If the circle of our concern embraces only one people, it is tribalism. If the circle of our compassion stops at our national borders, it is rabid nationalism.

Circle of Love Lyrics

If the circle of our compassion stops at the borders of a religious community and no further , It is religious fanaticism. We have to remember who we are, and whose we are. We need a reminder of who we are, who we have been, and who we must become yet again. As Rumi once expressed: It's what we all yearn for in our souls. Fun, joy, intimacy and creativity are some of the results of the circle of love. So, what can you do to create more circles of love in your life? A circle of love occurs when two or more people are together with completely open hearts -- open with their true Self, with each other and with Spirit.

When we are deeply connected with our core Self and with the love and sustenance of Spirit, and we are sharing our Self and Love with others -- and they are doing the same -- a circle of love occurs.

We are sorry...

Yet most people in relationships rarely, if ever, experience a circle of love. This is because when your intent is to protect against your painful feelings rather than to learn about loving yourself and others, you heart is closed -- closed to your Self, closed to others and closed to Spirit. The major thing you can do is to consistently practice the Six Steps of Inner Bonding.

These steps are designed to create and support your connection with your Self and with Spirit, while healing the fears and false beliefs of the wounded self that are in the way of this connection. By practicing these steps throughout the day, healing will occur and connection will consistently deepen.

It is only when you have established a circle of love within yourself and with Spirit that you can extend this circle out to others.
