What is Higher Love?

Steve Farrell • Feb 24, 2024

In our journey through life, we are often guided by a quest for love—a love that transcends the ordinary and touches the very essence of our being. This quest leads us toward a concept that has been revered and sought after through the ages: higher love. More than just an emotion or a sentiment, higher love is a state of being – a way of living that embodies the principles of unconditional love, universal love, and spiritual fulfillment. Today we embark on an exploration of the spiritual meaning of higher love; the profound nature of loving someone unconditionally, the spiritual rewards that accompany such love, and the intimate connection it fosters.


The Essence of Higher Love

At its core, higher love is the purest form of love—one that is given freely, without expectation of return, and without conditions. It is a love that does not judge, does not falter in the face of adversity, and does not wane with the passage of time. This love is not limited by the confines of romantic relationships but extends to all beings, embodying the essence of compassion and empathy. To love unconditionally is to see the divine spark within every soul, to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, and to act from a place of deep, unwavering kindness and understanding.


Spiritual Rewards of Higher Love

The pursuit of higher love is not without its spiritual rewards. Engaging in this profound form of love elevates our consciousness, aligns us with the vibrational frequency of the universe, and brings us closer to the Divine. In this state, we become conduits of light, channels through which universal love flows freely, touching the lives of those around us and fostering a sense of oneness. The reward of higher love is not a tangible prize but an inner transformation—a deepening of our spiritual connection, a heightened sense of peace, and an overflowing abundance of joy and fulfillment.


Intimacy Through Higher Love

The intimacy provided by loving from a place of higher love transcends physical boundaries and enters the realm of the soul. It is an intimacy that is built on mutual respect, understanding, and a shared commitment to growth and evolution. This form of intimacy allows individuals to be truly seen, heard, and valued for their authentic selves, creating a safe space for vulnerability and deep emotional connection. In this sacred space, the barriers that separate us dissolve, and we experience the true essence of intimacy: a union of spirits and a merging of hearts.


Universal Love in Teachings and Culture

The concept of higher love is not confined to any one spiritual tradition or cultural expression but is a universal theme that resonates across the ages. Sacred texts and teachings from various spiritual paths illuminate the importance of love as the foundation of a harmonious and enlightened society.


Shakespeare eloquently captured the transformative power of love in his works, stating, "Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, that looks on tempests, and is never shaken."


Buddha taught the significance of loving-kindness (Metta) as a path to enlightenment, emphasizing compassion for all beings: "Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life, even so, let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings."


Jesus highlighted the paramount importance of love, declaring it the greatest commandment: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself."


Allah is described in the Quran as "the Loving One," with numerous verses urging the faithful to act out of love and compassion: "And He is the Forgiving, the Loving," (Al-Buruj 85:14), encouraging believers to reflect these divine attributes in their lives.


In popular culture, the theme of higher love is celebrated in songs, poems, and stories that touch our hearts and stir our souls. The timeless lyrics of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" and Whitney Houston's rendition of "Higher Love" speak to the aspiration of rising above the mundane, seeking a love that uplifts and inspires.


Living from a Place of Higher Love

To live from a place of higher love is to make a conscious choice every day to lead with the heart, to prioritize kindness, compassion, and empathy in our interactions with others. It requires us to look beyond our differences, to forgive freely, and to offer our support and understanding unconditionally. This way of living is not always easy, but it is immensely rewarding, for it aligns us with our highest selves and with the universal energies of creation.


In our quest for higher love, we are reminded that the journey is as important as the destination. Each act of kindness, each moment of connection, each gesture of love brings us closer to realizing the vision of a world united by the power of love. As we embrace the teachings of universal love and draw inspiration from sacred texts and cultural expressions of love we forge a path toward a more compassionate, enlightened existence.


The call to higher love is a call to action—a beckoning to step into our power as creators of our reality, to embody the principles of conscious living, and to contribute to the manifestation of a world where love reigns supreme. It is an invitation to join a global community of souls committed to making a difference – to become a part of the tipping point that brings about dramatic positive change.


In the words of the poet Rumi, "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." As we dismantle these barriers and open our hearts to the infinite possibilities of higher love, we become beacons of light in a world yearning for healing and connection.


The spiritual meaning of higher love is a testament to the boundless capacity of the human heart to give and receive love. It is a reminder that in the vast tapestry of existence, we are all woven together by the threads of love—a love that transcends time and space, a love that is eternal, a love that is divine. Let us embrace this higher love. Let this form of love guide our steps and be the foundation upon which we build a brighter, more harmonious future for all.

The Akasha, also known as an eternal Ether, is a place that does not belong to one unique soul but belongs to all souls. The Akashic Records, in essence, is a storehouse of information on all deeds, actions, thoughts, creations, and destructions brought forth by each individual. All that has ever lived, breathed, and operated is included within the vast landscape of the Akashic Records. The Akasha belongs to all, and a specific Record belongs to each unique soul. To put this Ether in terms of understanding, it’s important to know that there is a thinking stuff that exists between each and every one of us. This thinking stuff we perceive as invisible. It is as clear as the air we breathe and as lucid as the subtle energies that flow among us. It is in front of us, behind us, and all around us. We are constantly held and supported by this invisible force as it walks with us in each action of our lives. The Akasha is there with us when we contemplate, and especially so when we stagnate. This Ether is moving; it's malleable and formative and, above all else, intelligent. We are fortunate enough in this cosmic creation that we find ourselves living in to have a force so strong and compassionate that it can help us through any downfall or delay we may face. The process of uploading our life path to our own unique Akashic Record is built upon a strong foundation of trust. This is the ultimate example of the Universal Law of Giving and Receiving. Our trust in this Ether is the act of Giving, and the intelligence that communicates back with us when we access this Ether is the act of Receiving. This works in a balanced dynamic, as both the Akasha and the Individual are completing the cycle of Giving and Receiving, and this cycle is built entirely upon information and the trust that comes with sharing this information. Therefore, it’s essential for those who wish to access their own Akashic Records to operate their lives in the same cycle of Giving and Receiving, with their life based on the value of trust and integrity. The Akashic Records allow us to access the non-locality of our subconscious mind and, in more spiritual terms, is an entry point to the superconscious mind that we are all connected to. As we explore the layers of our own Akashic Records, we can find ourselves back as our Soul Self and gain a brighter understanding of the people in our lives, the dynamics we have with one another, and the relationships we have played with each other in past lives. Exploring the Akashic Records in this way can give us a better understanding of the lessons we’ve chosen to work through in this life and remind us of the potency of the initial contracts we have chosen to sign entering into this incarnation. When the mindset of victimhood falls upon us during our earthly existence, it’s a powerful antidote to be reminded of our own choosing in these matters. This remedy is given to us by those in the Spirit world who have dedicated themselves to be by our sides and help us in times of forgetting, neglecting, and avoiding. Avoidance tendencies are commonplace when we forget the greater good and reasoning for our learning through certain lessons. When we fall into this pattern, our Akashic Records can bring us back into a state of alignment with our life’s purpose and enlighten us about the self-imposed blocks we have set up during times of doubt. Entering into our Records brings our consciousness to a new dimensional space and, in this way, allows us to perceive our life’s circumstances from an entirely new perspective. The Akashic Records work on the basis of awareness and since this Ether is built upon information, it saves us through the shifting and restructuring of the way we are currently analyzing our reality. This knowledge is shared with us through loving connections with our Guides, Teachers, and Loved ones who meet us in our Akashic Records each time we access this sacred space. Our Team of Light provides us with answers to some of our life’s most pressing questions, assisting in the restructuring of options available to us. The awareness that comes from this process results in a profound shift that quite literally restructures one’s reality for the highest and greatest good. When we seek answers to our problems away from the light of the Akashic Records, Ego becomes very much a part of this process. We can be swayed by victimhood, betrayal, and ingrained neural pathways that jump us to certain conclusions based on our past conditioning and the way we have been programmed to view reality. Once we step into the light of the Akasha, our past conditioning is no longer at the forefront of our decision-making process, and we are graced with answers that go beyond our current understanding of the situation at hand. The Akashic Records magnify our enlightened qualities and show us the way through our problems, all while carving us a new path of least resistance to take in life. When we feel lost in these incarnations, our Akashic Records become a guiding light in the dark.  About Jessi Whan: Jessi Whan is an Akashic Record Practitioner who specializes in creating a bridge between her clients and their Team of Light. It’s known that after each incarnation, time is spent overseeing the life one's recently lived with their Guides, Teachers, and Loved ones. Jessi's work grants clients the opportunity for mid-life reviews, where she deeply dives into her client's current incarnation. Together, they gain insights into Past Life Imprints, Soul Contracts, Karmic Connections, and Futuristic Probabilities. She loves helping others shift into a deeper state of awareness through her work with the Akashic Records.
