Separation!
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. – Kahlil Gibran
And we have been separated for some little while now…and oh that depth, that need, that pain. But when that love rises in us again…that dawning of its light will be beyond perfection…because of that separation. It too is a gift! ❤️🙏🏽
I just read this quote on another site and it really resonates, it’s so pure and true and sad.
They are indeed powerful words dear lady. They make us look again and this time feel them inside us, and ask that age old question…’where am I?’. Thank you for sharing 😀❤️🙏🏽

I am. You are. We will be. 💞💞💞
Have you read “Interbeing” by Thich Nhat Hahn? I have it posted in my top menu on the Wild Pomegranate Tree. Thank you for the timely reminders, Mark. 🥰
Thank you kind lady, indeed souls are not separated. So much so Spirit has asked for another post to rectify my casual approach to something very serious. I shall have a look see soon. Thank you very much 😀❤️🙏🏽
I’ve been really thinking about this post, Mark, and praying that I find the perfect words for you to read. Having read what Sue left for you, I at first felt quite inadequate to form words to assist you. Yet, I know what I shall now write.
Separation is an illusion, for we are not ever separated from Love, from God, for we are both as is everything in existence. When we arrive at those places, I call them skull and bones, Love evades us or we “think” It does. We are unable to feel that Connection, a Sacred Connection those of us who are following the Light have come to depend on in every way of our lives.
This is a “sign” it is time to go within, to contemplate, to ask, to seek, what is going on. Where is the blockage (and there is one!) that is preventing you from feeling Love? Sometimes it is not that, but rather you have just gone through a huge upload, download, upgrade if you will, the language of Light that your DNA receives in order to evolve/ascend. Those are the times Spirit wants us to find Quiet, to be Still, and to allow the process Within to unfold without us interfering. The null zone is the place of Healing, any way you look at it.
There are times when I’m in this place, I do not care about anything or anyone around me. I feel numb. Nothing matters ….. only this NOW moment in which I seem to drag my weary body around doing what I must do in order for me to get back to doing nothing. It’s a place I do not like at all. Yet over time and experience I’ve come to realize it is very necessary in order for us to continue our Journey, this time from a higher and broader perspective. I have my own signs that tell me this phase is over. You will recognize yours as well and with such a deep sense of gratitude and a tear in the eyes, when you return to the Land of the Living, you do so with reassurance ALL you are experiencing is for GOOD.
Trust the process, Mark. Trust yourself. The more you resist and the more you fight the longer this will last. It’s meant to BE that this is happening. I call it the disconnect. And there we are to percolate and heal and allow the “upgrade” to integrate.
I hope this helped. You’ve got this, I know you do. Sending you mega hugs and LOVE!! xoxox
Dear Amy, truly I have erred in my casual approach to ‘separation’, inferring it is a total separation from that unconditional love. Many writings don’t help with that word either…but…I think it was used for those not fully understanding our journey and it gave a sense of understanding to them. But that ‘untruth’ can ingrain itself so that when an understanding does come along it creates an ‘unbelief’ or at the least confusion. Bear with me a bit, I needed to see something that Danielle has been frustratingly trying to show me for some time now, and now yourself and Avigail pointed out for me. I stand corrected and am being shown by Spirit something that I had been shown over 2 yrs ago that has a direct relation to what we speak. Another post has been in the offing on this subject so I shall have it up shortly. When the student is ready the teacher will come 😀❤️🙏🏽
❤️❤️❤️
PS I just saw you new post, Mark. I’ll be over tomorrow to do it justice. Way to go, sunglass man!! (((HUGS)))!!! xoxo
Thank you for the presence, wisdom and love 💕🙏🏻🥰
And thank you kind lady, for the share that keeps that separation in perspective 😀❤️🙏🏽
Separation can teach us lessons we didn’t know we needed to learn.
Indeed Pam, it isn’t until we lose something that its worth becomes apparent. Thank you for sharing the love you’ve found dear lady 😀❤️🙏🏽
Oh, the depth…somehow even the pain feels warm there ❤️
When we finally see through those fears, understand that journey completely within us…it is a warmth indeed kind lady. It is such an incredible moment to understand we have but been given a very profound gift so that we can understand and appreciate something that is beyond words 😀❤️🙏🏽
The greatest separation and in my opinion it has been manipulated so, is to separate us from the knowledge within ourselves.. And that knowledge is a divine gift from the source of creation.. And that Gift is Love..
Most in the world are seeking LOVE.. and they search for it in partners, within their relationships, they search for it in their striving better themselves to feel important, they search for it by thinking if I work hard and gather wealth, I can buy what I love… So they spend it on surrounding themselves with THINGS they love… and yet.. Somehow they are still lacking…
For they are not whole… Not complete.. because they are searching for Love that is separate from themselves…
It is not until they go within, really dive deep within themselves, as they see their own separation of |Self…
When We learn to love ourselves,, We no longer need to look outward for ‘Things’ to fulfil us. Because when we love ourselves, we are fulfilled, no longer separate from that divine source of all love…
It is not easy to get to that state of BE-ing… because of the programming and conditioning surrounding our being separate.. Yet once achieved as you then FIND yourself…
And you can not rediscover/find yourself if you were not Lost or felt separated in the first place.. ………Ironic isn’t it..
How often so many of us have to go to rock bottom and lose ourselves in order find ourselves, to realise we have to love ourselves and raise ourselves back up..
🙂
Great thoughts as per usual Mark… ❤️❤️❤️
What can I say Sue, that is it in a nutshell. We do separate us from ourselves in our journey down here and experiencing childhood, taking onboard the fears of others. But thankfully that is its perfection, to cast those doubts so that we do ever try to find that love again. It is a powerful journey, but one that has a great purpose so that we truly understand what love is. If we don’t experience it, how will we understand what unconditional love is. That separation or loss, painful though it is, will indeed give us an appreciation like nothing else. That instant we touch unconditional ‘up there’ (and we can touch it down here but it is but a glimpse, I found that as I touched it I couldn’t help but ‘let go’ into my natural state of being. Spirit had to block me. Apparently my journey was not finished 🤣).
Now I must express something important here…we are never ‘separated’ from unconditional love (so to speak, it is just a word used to explain it the easiest, simply because to us that is how it feels, a separation). And thank you Danielle, after you spoke to me Spirit nudged me to explain it better for those ‘there’ in themselves. It is ever a part of us. We in our fears block it. It is exactly like us wearing sunglasses, we filter our lives through those sunglasses (fears), in all we do. It isn’t until we understand our fears that we take them off and can truly see again, become that natural state of unconditional love that we are.
Thank you Sue, it is an incredible journey but a very profound one. The instant I saw and understood, you ‘know’ what every step is for, you know each and every one of them was the making of us, and in fact, important in that returning to that love we ever search for 😀❤️🙏🏽
Its as if the feeling is just too much to hold here in the physical Mark… as you said.. we get But a glimpse… But what a glimpse! ✨💛✨ With love and Gratitude Mark 🙂
Ha! I still don’t like it ❤️😂 I much more enjoy coming back into the relief and harmony of soul.
That static in my head – the pain of the “illusion” of separation- I say I could do without…but really I cannot have the feeling of connection without feeling of the disconnection.
My own personal episodes seem to be passing through quicker these days.
Thank you for this post Mark and walking me through it all ❤️🙏💕❤️
This world is a priceless gift in all that it is dear lady. And yes, you will indeed come back into that balance that love is…but in the meantime, rose colored glasses, washing smelly socks and endless stories to tell all live in the same building. For a little while anyway 🤣❤️🙏🏽
It’s so true that separation does make the heart grow deeper both in understanding and love. I hope you’re getting my comments, Mark because on some of your previous posts I have gotten an error message.
WordPress is still being a pain Michele but I have got into the habit of checking my spam folder just in case, and you have never arrived there. And yes, that separation is a big part of our journey. Wait till you become ‘one’ with that love inside, it will show you that each and every step has indeed had a great purpose to build something beyond words. May it always guide you dear lady, as your heart ever does 😂🤣😀❤️🙏🏽
