QUESTION:

A question from R.L., Albuquerque, New Mexico. "I postulate that when you love — love wisdom, intelligence, power for goodness and so forth — you love God, and to love God, you can do this only by appreciating his or her attributes. When mercy is subordinated to, or derived from love, wisdom from knowledge and intelligence, gracefulness from beauty, etc., is intelligence equal to love? Is one more than the other? Is one subordinated to the other? Are they one and the same? And is the power of the will greater than these both?"

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that before It can get into your concern, It needs to understand your particular definition of the terms you use. This Awareness indicates that there are many words used to describe energies. The energies that lie behind the word "love," and the energies that lie behind the word "grace," all have certain meaning to you and these energies are what you really speak of.

The words you use may have totally different meanings to this Awareness or to others, from the energies that you are perceiving when you use the terms. This Awareness indicates it makes it very difficult to make a kind of logical sense out of your terms because It does not have the experience of your meaning. When one person uses the word "love," if you could see that entity’s meaning of love as compared to the meaning someone else has when they speak of "love," it might be as different as "7-Up" is to "Coke." They may both have something in common — liquidity — but they do not have the same flavor.

This Awareness indicates that one person sees love according to their own experience with love. Another sees it according to his or her experience with love, and they are not the same experience, therefore, they are speaking of two different things.

This Awareness indicates that in general, love is normally an expression of compassion or some other thing where one would like to be tender and devoted, as certain attributes of love, but this is not what everyone means when they speak of love. Some are speaking of lust. Some are speaking of ownership or attachment.

This Awareness indicates that to say that love and the intellect can become one and the same under certain conditions is obviously true, if everyone agrees with the same interpretation as the one who promotes that concept. It is difficult for some entities to see the intellect and love as being the same thing because the intellect is cold and devoid of compassion in most interpretations.

The intellect is simply a calculation of the mind, much like a computer or calculator might do with numbers. That is intellect, for many entities. Those who see compassion mixed in with numbers, might find this as a different kind of intellect, or some might look at this and say, "It is impossible. They cannot be the same. How can numbers care about you? How can numbers manipulate formulas that do something for you?"

This Awareness indicates that another might say: "Well, numbers can be manipulated in a way that does something for you. They can help you to get tax return, enlarge your return, benefit your earnings. Thus, numbers can be compassionate and can bring you back a return on your taxes," and this entity might have some way of arguing that love, compassion and numbers work together as a kind of higher intellect or self-serving or whatever.

But, this Awareness indicates there can be intellect, and there can be love in two different things working together without them being the same thing, or without them having merged into a new kind of intellect that is loving. It might be the intellect is still purely intellect and the emotions or compassion and use of the intellect are what give it the appearance of having some kind of compassionate purpose, in helping you, for example, to get a better tax return.

This Awareness indicates that it is a question that is mixing oranges and apples, and you are trying to find a way to sell them as being the same thing. Oranges may have a value, and apples may have a value, and you may sell them according to their value, but to sell oranges as apples, or apples as oranges would be a mistake and not too many entities will be able to accept the outcome of such effort.

Intellect is intellect. It depends on how you define intellect. If it is intellect in the sense of being able to manipulate concepts, ideas, or numbers in a logical sense, as many entities define intellect, that is one thing. If you define intellect as the love of God, then that is a totally different description of the word, and you cannot mix the two and present them both as the same, regardless of the name you put on the contents.

Thus, you cannot sell apples by labeling them as oranges. It is true, you could sell them in this way, but you cannot do it honestly. This Awareness indicates that it is possible that someone could buy your apples which were called oranges, and say: "I like these oranges very much," knowing they are eating an apple, or if they were not well-versed in language they might even be fooled in thinking they were eating an orange when they were eating an apple, but regardless, it would still taste like an apple to the majority of people even if the entity called it an orange.

Intellect, by most descriptions by most entities, is defined as that which is capable of moving concepts, logic, numbers, words, in such a way as to formulate symbolic reasoning. Compassion, love, feeling, is that which is an emotional and feeling type of experience, wherein you extend some kind of energy to another in a way that is beneficial to the other.

This Awareness indicates it is not something that can be classified in a numerical sense, nor does it always fit into logical formulas or expressions. This Awareness indicates that essentially, love is an expression of vibration or energy frequencies toward something or someone in a way that shows devotion and compassion. It is not an action of intellect, but by twisting meanings, one could make such an argument.

Whether he could sell the argument depends on whether he could sell the definitions he has used.

DOES A LOVING COUPLE LOSE INTEREST IN SEX ONCE THEY FEEL BALANCED WITH EACH OTHER?

QUESTION:

A question from E.N. in Brooklyn. He writes: "I have a question for Awareness as follows: I have come to observe that many young couples that are very much in love with each other lose sexual interest in each other although they have no physical ailments preventing this. Some time ago Awareness indicated that sex between couples is a balancing act, and when couples become disinterested in this manner, this indicates they are balanced with each other. If they desire to become sexually interested in each other again, they then would have to create an imbalance. If this is not totally correct as I state it, please elaborate. My question then is: What type of imbalance is referred to here? Please elaborate."

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that this has to do with energy balances, where an entity has an excessive amount of a certain energy and comes across another who has an excessive amount of energy of a different frequency. These energies are polarized, positive and negative, and these entities come together, and can become extremely attracted to each other, drawn by the magnetic pull of the energies, and this can lead to a strong relationship, where the entities feel highly attracted.

By their coming together, they can help to relieve the polarities of each other’s energies. This does not mean they lose energy to each other, but that they reconcile the polarization of each other’s energies. One may be receptive, the other may be aggressive, and the union of the two may bring about a balancing of these polarities.

This Awareness indicates that often the entities will also seek some kind of energy exchange where each wants to draw upon the energy of the other in order to feel better about oneself, and this can help to increase the attraction that each feels for the other, for the entities may feel that they can get energy just by being around this person, and this may be true, but after some time, entities may start thinking in terms of "He drains me. He really tires me out," and then the entity doesn’t want to give energy.

The polarities, now being balanced, creates a relationship in which entities are simply taking energy from each other or trying to get energy from each other. They no longer have to balance the polarities, but they want to get back to the excitement of the interchange of polarities, and they cannot do this so they then start seeking energy from the other and feel the other is holding back. Then they become somewhat demanding or concerned that the entity no longer loves them enough and quarrels can begin.

The quarrels essentially are disputes over energy that is either being withheld or is believed to be withheld and each feels a pull on the other for their own well-being. This can cause the entities to become hostile toward each other so that rather than satisfying each other’s needs, they begin to make demands on each other and they want something from the other person that they are not getting.

This can lead them to either want to go in different directions or to make more demands and get something the other cannot give. This is when the tug-of-war may begin happening in an entity’s relationship with another. This Awareness indicates that if they would simply leave each other alone for awhile and just be friends, energies could build back up so that they were both polarized again and would find some enjoyment in depolarizing.

This Awareness indicates that essentially, this is typical romance where entities come together in a heated love affair which dies quickly which then creates animosity between the entities. They part and then, at some point, they may wish to make up and get back together or they may go off in opposite directions, never to see each other again.

A good healthy relationship is not based on the foundation of sex, it is based on friendship, with sex being that which is a secondary level.

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION:

In relation to the information Awareness has been giving about energies exchanged as indicated in "The Celestine Prophecy," how would this relate to a couple as indicated in the last question, that they seem to have balanced out and no longer have desire, sexually for one another? Would this energy exchange sort of work as a substitute for this?

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness indicates that the balancing out is in reference to the polarities. The exchange of energy essentially is the polarity exchange where the positive and negative neutralize so that neither is over- charged negatively or positively with that particular charge.

This Awareness indicates that when they reach a balance and begin to suck each other’s life energy, this becomes a different situation. It is no longer an attraction; it is a feeding frenzy for each other’s energy, and that is when problems begin, and entities begin to focus on how much they are giving and how little the other gives to the relationship.

This is where the problems begin, when they are sucking on each other’s life energy.
