The Love Foundation

Inspiring People to Love Unconditionally

It may be easy to look around our world today and see the appearance of chaos, difficulty and strife. Yet, when we come from an open heart, we can also see our opportunity to love all things into balance, joy, harmony and peace. This planet does not need more visions of desperation, fear, doubt and hate – it requires an abundance of love, especially unconditional love, to heal and restore the beauty contained in every moment. This becomes the easier path once we take the first step and begin to share our love.

When we bring unconditional love back into our personal, professional, community and family lives, we begin the journey of restoring wholeness and happiness to our planetary adventure. Of course it takes determined effort on our part as the old ways of being are quick to return in our mind. However, this effort to love is rewarded with a new perspective on everything and all life benefits as a result.

Our mission at The Love Foundation is “inspiring people to love unconditionally.” We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was started in 2000 to assist people by building a practical foundation and understanding of unconditional love within individuals and society as a whole.

Whether through Global Love Day each May 1st, our annual Art, Essay and Poetry Invitational, the Love Ambassador or Act of Love designations, and our newest program, Loving Earth, each of these opportunities are simply ways to keep the understanding of love fresh in our collective hearts and minds.

Our main annual presentation is Global Love Day each May 1st as our celebration of humanity and with the theme, “love begins with me.” Now in its seventh year for 2010, we have connections in over 135 countries and our main flyer is translated in over 34 languages. We have a dedicated section on our main web site at The Love Foundation which can also be accessed directly at Global Love Day

For those that wish to interact socially, we have a separate site at Global Love Day on ning

We are also excited to have our own TLF YouTube Nonprofit Channel with over 100 inspiring and encouraging videos at The Love Foundation on YouTube

Our newest interactive social site is devoted to unconditional love. Anyone can become a member and share their thoughts, ideas, and personal experience of how loving unconditionally makes a difference in their lives. Inspiring Unconditional Love on ning

We welcome you to join us in sharing the vision of unconditional love!

Love, light and peace,
Harold W. Becker

I’m finding the Kabbalah classes interesting, informative and challenging at the same time. The Kabbalah says that the creator is the giver and man was created as a receiver. The problem is that we have been unconsciously blocking much of what the creator desires to give us by accepting the perspectives and realities of this world only. We need to develop our dormant sense that will enable us to be aware of the realities beyond this world.

This is similar to what I was sensing/feeling before I started this class. You may remember a few of the videos I posted on perspectives of reality and reality being an illusion. So I guess I’m in the right place with the Kabbalah course.

I’m still working on my Reiki Master class as well. I have a few more case studies to complete, which requires me to practice healing others and giving Reiki attunements. If you would like a Reiki healing or if you would like to learn how to do Reiki yourself, feel free to contact me.

There is a guest post lined up for Monday, May 11th, by Harold W. Becker. Who is Harold W. Becker? He’s the founder of a world organization called, The Love foundation, and he tells you all about this foundation in his guest post.

I also received an award. AngelBaby from Your Caring Angels has blessed me with The Blogger Award. Thank you AngelBaby for including me on this lovely award. It’s always humbling and an  honor.

I am passing this award on to all my wonderful friends in the blogosphere. Love, Harmony and Prosperity to all of you.

It’s said the people we encounter and interact with are mirrors of ourselves. That whenever we feel upset or angry toward someone, if we search within ourselves we will be able to see what the other person is mirroring back to us. During one of my Kabbalah classes, the instructor made the statement that we need to interact with people because they help us connect with our creator. If we feel we are repeatedly attracting people into our life who are in opposition to our path of self exploration, higher knowledge and enlightenment, then how can they possibly be mirrors and reflections of ourselves? After all, we are making a conscious effort to expand ourselves for the purpose of personal growth.

In some cases, I was able to see this and in other instances, I had difficulty with the practicality of these concepts. Part of the reason for that is, yes, sometimes a person will display behavior or an attitude that I might have or had in the past. This would be a lesson that teaches wisdom on how it makes another person feel when I might have behaved in such a way.  Thus this person was being a reflection or a mirror to me.

My problem came from understanding how someone who has aspects so opposite and unlike me? How could they possibly be a mirror reflecting me?

Sometimes someone will do something that triggers feelings of disappointment, betrayal, things that can make us feel the person is not loving toward us, which in turn can trigger hurt feelings, anger and sometimes resentment in us. So why was this experience drawn to us? Why did life feel it was necessary for us to experience these feelings and what is being shown to us through the reflection of this person?

Just as there is a great diversity in people, there  is diversity in experiences and the things we can learn from them. Therefore, it’s not practical to try to presume what experiences people can expect or what insights those experiences have to offer each person.

What People Can Reflect Back

In my case, despite being a loving person, wanting love in my life and one who values truth, I often found myself surrounded by people who behaved unloving towards me and were often deceitful. Why were these people who were so opposite to me in my life? It took me a long time to discover the answer, which was that I needed to develop self love and self acceptance.

During the early part of my life, self love was not considered a positive thing. People confused self love with a person being in love with themselves, which is egotistical. Egotistical people are in love with themselves, boastful of their own qualities, self centered, a tendency to feel self righteous and feel superior to other people. Where self love is acknowledging that you are lovable, worth loving and deserve love, that you have much to offer the people you interact with as well as the world.  Self love is accepting the person you are right now, being as loving and kind to yourself as you are to others.

I suspect a lot of people need to learn this. If you allow people, whether they are members of your family, friends or coworkers, to speak and behave in a disrespectful way to you, then you need to ask what they are mirroring or reflecting back to you? Do you practice self love and self acceptance? If not, until you learn to give love to yourself and accept yourself, people will continue to behave unloving towards you. If you consciously or unconsciously believe that you are unworthy of respect or love, you will continue to attract people who reflect or mirror your belief back to you.

There are numerous experiences that we can learn other lessons from. This particular lesson was a prominent one for me and that’s why I chose it to explain the concept of how people can be mirrors to us, even if their qualities appear opposite to our own.

What insights into yourself and what lessons have you had through your experiences with other people?
