A Bell Buoy for Real Love

I have a special friend I heard about in January, fifteen years ago, from a Welshman giving me a reading who said there was a next man in my life that had me in his little black book.

I met this man one time in the spring. During the next two months, driving from the South to visit in New England, I saw this man’s name sixty times. While Meher Baba had entered my life through the Welshman, I didn’t know much about Him. Still, I told Him I understood I was to know this other man.

At six months, I told the man I loved him, and he answered that he didn’t love me. My quick reply was that didn’t matter. All that mattered was how I felt about him. I knew I’d said something important but didn’t fully understand I was describing “Divine Love” that loves from giving rather than receiving.

Prema means this kind of love, and it’s a reminder to me that the deepest channel of my feelings is to be love for God and love of God in another—a bell buoy to keep me practicing Real Love.

I had been married twice and had no reference that for the next fifteen years of training, I would live five years at this man’s home and ten separately. The Welshman had said “our points of friction would be rubbed together until we became frictionless,” and my special friend and I have reached that goal.

My realization is, “We come into our lives with karma, action from past lives that will create reaction in this life. What we believe is our choice may be a necessary spiritual lesson for our highest good.”
