Why do I need love if I am love itself?

[ladelle]

As a human, I still have this feeling of lack, that I need love from an external source. I’m wondering why. It seems that God want to experience lack, which would mean that as a human I can never be fulfilled, I can experience fulfillment only when I’m God, my human self will never be satisfied because it is supposed to experience limitation. The only way to be whole is to be God.

I struggle with this as well. As long as you’re alive as a human you will need the connection of others to survive long-term. I have PM’d you with additional thoughts about this as well.

You need a mirror to see yourself, to know and appreciate and love who you are.

More mirrors means more angles and ways of looking at yourself.

And it's not a defect. This very mechanism allows us to complement one another.

As mirrors, we create reality.

You haven't given it to yourself yet.

If this is the story God is telling himself that's what God will experience.  Through you.

Flip the script.  God wants humanity in abundance and joy.  Which is why every human gets to choose what that is for them when they figure out they're the savior in their own sad, little story.  Take your power back Lord and reshape the world in your image.

God can never not be whole be it through the eyes of a human or through the eyes of Christ.  You're good with one but forgot the other.  Thats by design but you can override the Matrix and become Neo.  Best of both worlds.

Your human don't be too hard on yourself.  You are not in a state of God Consciousnessm. You're in duality as a self with other. So it's OK but realize that you don't need external sources to complete you.  You're already whole.

I think you fundamentally are separation, merging w/ Love, so idealistic is the love you want, ya know? isnt it fundamental?
