The phrase “I love you” can be extremely toxic, when used by the Ego for the purpose of manipulation and control. I remember as children we “learned” the power of this little phrase right quickly to try and manipulate our parents to get us what we want!
And there are many adults today, who use those magical 3 words (quite unconsciously) to try and manipulate another person into getting from them what they want.
“I love you” most of the time means “I need you to be a certain way for me”, and I “need you” to be a certain way so I can feel OK. That is not love, that is unhealed trauma.
In contrast, the frequency of pure love (the kind we associate with God) will make you feel SAFE and free to be you. It makes no demands of you, in fact in it’s perception you are perfect. This frequency will make you open up like a lotus flower.
