A
Course in
Love & Healing
Lesson 1
The
Love Story
of the 3rd Millennium
Becoming a LoveMaster
By
Dr.
Scott Peck & Shannon Peck
It is time for all of us to give birth to a higher consciousness of Love.
As
we accelerate exponentially in our technologically advancing civilization,
the number one thing we most want in life has never changed.
We want to be richly loved!
Yet our love skills are
almost untapped, and certainly untaught.
When was the last time you took a course in becoming a love expert,
or upgraded your love skills from “Basic Love” to “Advanced Love”? Is it any wonder we suffer so many divorces, broken hearts,
wars, hatred, hurt, and loneliness?
The majority of
Earth's population is starving for love. But this love tragedy is
about to end. A Love revolution so profound that it will be called
“The Love Story of the 3rd Millennium” is giving birth. Love
is reaching into our hearts and lifting us to a new view of what is
possible in love. Quite simply, we are all being called forth to become
LoveMasters.
We have all been touched
by LoveMasters.
Whenever you are being cherished, esteemed, empowered, equal, and
honored with another person, you are in the presence of a LoveMaster. Imagine the quality of our
world if we were all LoveMasters?
Let us then learn what
takes place in the heart of a LoveMaster. A LoveMaster
is internally awake to the immense suffering on Earth – the tears in so
many million hearts, the private inner struggles for worth and purpose,
and the catastrophic, often hidden, results of love anguish and abuse.
The inner heart of a LoveMaster feels and responds vigorously and
powerfully to this universal call for help.
The sacred question inside the heart of a
LoveMaster
carries the force of universal healing: “How loved do you feel in my
presence?”
The tools of a LoveMaster
are unconditional compassion, empathy, kindness & honesty, listening
to the heart, honoring equality, spiritual awareness, forgiveness,
peace-making, unifying, and healing. A LoveMaster
rises to the level of pure love that speaks tenderly to every heart,
honestly to every mind, and equally to every spirit.
Think
of your closest and most intimate friends.
Do they feel loved in your presence?
Think of your family. Do
they feel loved in your presence? Think
of all the people at your work place, your church, your waiters at
restaurants, the people you pass in grocery stores.
Do they feel loved in your presence?
Think of the person you most “love.”
Do they feel truly loved in your presence?
One morning, at breakfast
with a good friend, a waitress we knew and loved took our order with a
smile and then left. Scott remarked, “Something is not right in her
life.” When she later came
by, Scott asked her to sit with us for a moment.
"Did I do something wrong?” she asked.
“Nothing at all,” he said with great love. “We were just having
fun identifying the two words that best describe who we are and we wanted
to know your two words.” Her face radiated with a smile and she
responded instantly: “My words are loving and witty.” As
she shared so easily from her heart, her entire body and identity relaxed
in the love that was embracing her. She
was reminded of how magnificent she is.
She only sat with us for 60 seconds, but she left our table
invigorated and loved.
“Scott, how did you know
she needed love?” asked Shannon.
“I wasn’t aware of her need.”
We talked together, as fellow LoveMasters, about the value of an “empathy check” when we encounter anyone on our path – taking the first moment of any new encounter to tune in to
the heart of another person. Are
they happy? Do they feel cherished, honored, equal, empowered?
Do they need a special embrace of love?
These are illuminating
questions. They are questions
that keep us deeply loving. And
they are questions that also bring us immense love.
They bring us love because we will always experience the level of
love we radiate. This is
great news for all who are love-starved.
Becoming a LoveMaster
creates a powerful flow of love that nourishes others, enriches our own
soul, and attracts the most loving people to us.
In fact, the fastest way to meet the love mate of your dreams is to become a
LoveMaster.
It is really the most profound of spiritual laws – loving well brings
you into the heart of Love.
And just as illuminating
is another question that each of us, as LoveMasters,
must ask of our friends, organizations, and those we encounter: “How
loved do I feel in your presence?”
Many of us spend years
imprisoned in relationships that demean, ignore, or hurt us. Such relationships suck happiness and love out of our lives
and hearts. There are
thousands of loving people right now who are giving massive amounts of
love and receiving little or none in return.
This is not true love. Genuine
love flows equally in both directions.
As we grow in our understanding of what it means to become a
LoveMaster,
we discover the vast importance of being surrounded by people who honor
and empower us. In other
words, to be surrounded by LoveMasters.
This is our spiritual right!
As we make this
powerful love transition to becoming LoveMasters, we need each
other’s non-judgmental love, support, encouragement, honesty,
tenderness, honoring, and freedom of Spirit.
We will be mightily challenged as LoveMasters. The
increasing brightness of our light of Love will expose all that has been
lurking in the darkness of our lives, organizations, and civilization. The
ferocity of this darkness may seem bewildering and fearful, but will
serve to uplift us by calling forth our ability to utilize the power of
Love to heal. This is the
most extraordinary benefit of all. A
LoveMaster
is a healer of hearts.
Every step towards
becoming a LoveMaster
unleashes new powers of Love within us.
We all stand together -- humbled, cherished, and empowered -- in the presence and power
of infinite, all-inclusive Love. Welcome to the Love Millennium, dear
needed and cherished LoveMaster.
