Moods are temporary and shouldn't stop you from loving or being intimate. True freedom isn't reaching a particular emotional state—it's recognizing all states pass. When you stop letting your mood block love, you can give and receive it unconditionally.
grumpy and not in the mood. You know, that's my native state. I get it. And it's like, if we can learn that no mood is a block in love and intimacy, that's real liberation. Because when it comes to liberation, we imagine it means I'm gonna feel a certain way. I'll feel free, I'll feel at peace, I'll feel calm in my heart, or I'll feel joy or happiness. But that's not actually freedom. Because all states are impermanent. The state will change. It's the law of nature. Experience will change. So freedom has to be found beyond states. And so a big part of your practice that you're developing here is that regardless of whatever state you may be in, when you learn that it never has to obstruct the love that you're here to give or experience, that's liberation. And you learn that you can be loving no matter what experience is running through your system at that time.
