THE AWAKENING
CHAPTER 6
By Chris Hamilton

ACCEPTING LOVE
The news media now were broadcasting "Good News" in every sphere of the planet. It became a wonderful and joyous place to be, and laughter rang from every home.
Those in the physical were now aware of those who had passed on into spirit, and felt great love for them. There was a sharing of joy and a delight was taken in just simply giving for the sake of giving.
Many years had past since Sarah had walked the street that day with her newfound friend.
Sarah had grown into a beautiful woman. She was now of such an age that many young men cast their eye towards her.
She had fulfilled her mission on earth, and was now so in possession of her own feelings, that she knew she would not pass on from this life until she so desired.
She had ascended into a lighter body, which was almost ethereal in nature. Only those of like mind were attracted to this beautiful soul. She was indeed a light to the planet.
In learning of love and acceptance, she had become a great example to many. She had lived as she believed and many had followed her path towards a greater understanding.
The day she had walked the street with Altar had been a wonderful day. Many remembered the little girl who stood proudly by the stranger as he gave advice to many perplexed souls. She had showed great empathy and understanding to those around. She had seemed to just know things.
This young woman was now in the process of learning about love. But it was another kind of love. An earthly love now possessed her, as she felt her feelings stir for a certain young man whom had become a great friend to her.
Somehow the years rolled back to when she was again a young girl. She had known this love before. It had been many years now, but it stirred a strange remembrance in her.
The twitching she felt in her heart made her wonder why she had not felt this feeling before. Was this love?
A troubled feeling overcame her. She could not accept this as love when all these years she had known that love was accepting and giving of oneself. Why then did this feeling feel different?
Sarah put down the book she was holding, and began to ponder on her strange new feelings. She felt no animosity towards this young man, yet part of her felt such a strong stirring, it almost repulsed her. She knew that it was something she had not felt before. It had caused her unease because it almost felt uncontrollable, and Sarah had always felt in control of her life - ever since Altar had come into her life.
She wept silently as the feelings of unknown passion engulfed her. She silently called for Altar to help her. Surely, if he could read her feelings, he must know what she was feeling now and be able to help her.
She closed her eyes in prayer. Silence seemed to encompass her. After a few minutes, she felt someone nearby, and opened her eyes. There, in front of her stood Altar. He was now even more beautiful than she remembered, and the kindness in his eyes filled her with love and hope.
She exclaimed to him, "why do I have this strong stirring I can't control? I know it is not the love that I was taught to accept, yet I feel it is connected somehow, and it fills me with unease. I can't seem to control it," she wept as she finished.
Altar looked tenderly on, knowing what she was feeling.
"Sarah, my dear," he said. "What you are feeling is a bonding of love between a man and a woman. It is a natural feeling, and one that is deepened through the years. Do not despair my child," he continued, "this feeling is part of the emotions which a physical body passes through on its way to maturity. Do not let it disturb you. You are learning a new aspect of love and acceptance."
Sarah looked up into those kind and tender eyes. She seemed to understand what Altar was thinking, and calmness overcame her again. She felt within the depth of her knowing that Alter had indeed touched on the truth. She made up her mind not to let the stirrings worry her. She would do something about it. She would confront her emotions head on, by seeking the company of the young man himself.
She was now opening up to the richness that love in a physical form brings - a love that, when truly given and truly reciprocated, can only know.
