Attract Love By Being Love And Letting It Flow Out

by Reuben Chow

The love that Dyer speaks about here is the love that God gives; “to love as God does – to extend the caring that defines your very creation outward, whenever and wherever possible.” When you have this type of love in your heart, your ego is no longer the most important, and you genuinely want the good for others, even more so than for yourself. Perhaps we could call this unconditional love. After all, as God creates and gives us life, and provides all the elements necessary to sustain this life, he does not ask for anything in return; it’s all freely given.

Thus, to bring more love into your life, you will need to practice love in the manner that God is. Dyer gives us a few suggestions, such as not judging yourself or others for being unworthy; learning to be kind, instead of having to be right; and always reaching out to others with kindness. Instead of demanding love, learn to give love instead. Let that love flow from within you, and give love not because you expect anything in return. Such love will be genuine and sincere, and others will feel it. Does this sound difficult? Dyer says “not really, unless you believe that it’s going to be difficult.”

Give love, and you will attract more of what you are so freely giving to others. How much love you are receiving is a reflection, a mirror image, of what you are giving away – it’s not the world’s or other people’s fault that you are not getting the love which you desire.

In the book, Dyer says:

“Lovingness is a feature of your natural state, and your ego isn’t part of that state. Ego dominates because you’ve separated yourself from your God-self, the loving self that came here from a place of perfectly Divine unconditional love. You’ve carried this ego idea of your own self-importance, your need to be right, for so long that you’ve deluded yourself into believing that the ego-self is who you are. Talk about being out of balance – you’ve opted for a belief in pure illusion! By allowing this illusion to be the dominant force, you’ve created, through your ego-centered self, a heavy imbalance in your life.” – Wayne Dyer, in “Being in Balance”

But, you can only give away what you already have within you. Dyer urges us to vow to see ourselves solely in loving terms; he asks us to invite love into our lives, for love to be with us every hour of every day; and he tells us that a simple statement such as “Holy Spirit, guide me now” can help us to align ourselves with love.

Dyer asks us to imagine having a container within us, and from this container comes all our thoughts. Building on this metaphor, most people have a container from which they would pick out loving thoughts under certain circumstances. Dyer challenges us, however, to have a container which is “connected to an endless supply of love; you need only turn your thoughts to that Source to be filled with love.”

Dyer’s analogy here reminds me of the saying, “God is love and love is God.”
