Creating the Heart of Love
There are many types of "love."
* Romantic.
* Brotherly.
* Family.
* Erotic.
* Compassion.
* Etc.
It is important not to confuse them; or place inappropriate expectations within the types of love.

Expressing Love is prefaced on the condition of the Heart. It is the metaphysical realm, meeting the physical realm.
Expressing love is limited by the ability to "experience" and "know." The expanse of this ability also creates depths of love.
A state of oneness is characteristic of these depths.
Obviously oneness training is helpful.
But also required is the ability to create closure on activities/circumstances which impede love and restrict the ability of creating the loving heart. The human heart is resilient and no adverse circumstance exists which can't be "closed" upon.
Related to the ability to heal the heart is that of protecting the heart. Relationships can be limited in the amount/type of love that will allowed into one's life. This prevents unreasonable expectations being placed on any type of relationship.
An example is: "But I thought you were my friend" exclaimed when an expectation wasn't met. "Acquaintances" are often viewed as "friendships." Inappropriate expectations are easily assumed.
The same goes for the "loving heart." There are limits depending on the circumstances and type of relationship.

.... a few days later.... This page is about creating loving hearts. The past few days illustrates a most loving, Divine heart of love intervention, by my wife. This is a precious aspect of love; where the bonding "as one" contributes to the enlightenment and success of what is mutual performance and living. This is also about an effective state of "Oneness" with other people; and the metaphysical urges that continually surround us. Of how oneness/love brings many layers into life. Being life, not trying to live it.
What happened was my wife Sue gave e gave me this Novel to read, I couldn't put it down, and read it over the past few days.
"The Fifth Gospel" by Ian Caldwell was a ten year undertaking that perfectly conveys the hearts of love; those things that impede the loving heart; and means by which to create loving hearts. It is also a story of healing and closure. (The"Empowerment over Adversity, Intimidation, Bullying" pages and video of being gifted.com address much of this issue.)
Although this page is a source of information of how to navigate the "heart process;" this book is an excellent read in a unique story setting in which the dilemmas/perspective of values/failures of life are dramatically illustrated; and overcome.
A few relevant quotes of author Ian Caldwell:
" as if he finds something entrancing about this detachment. About the thought of retreating into himself like a monk rather than
embracing the world like a priest."
" to find the truth, you have to know how to search for it. ...Take each piece of information on its own merits and use good judgement to figure out where the truth is."
"she fits herself into an emptiness that only she can fill."
"who stands before me now as a virtuoso of the self-recrimination I'm only beginning to learn. She is helping me because she loves me, because she knows this darkness and has its map."
"He needs to know he is forgiven, she says."
(to be continued)
After a certain point in a relationship; "love" and "forgiveness" become intertwined.
A quote about the 19th century British people who were the subjects/models of Julia Margaret Cameron's photography work was that in those times of constant human crisis the only acceptable response to the painfulness that could be controlled was to exercise compassion. (From the Chicago University Museum's Catalog of the exhibit.)
Also Winston Churchhill: "If we stop to throw rocks at every barking dog, we will never arrive at our destination."
