This year we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Disney movie Aladdin. Great movie! And the soundtrack includes one of the greatest duets of all time: Peabo Bryson's "A Whole New World". Good stuff!! Anyways, my question really isn't about the movie, or, even the soundtrack, for that matter. I want to know if the character Aladdin was flying his little carpet around today, would he be able to recognize love, like he did in the movie, twenty years ago. Times have changed, but has love remained the same? Or do we have a whole new world, which in itself, has a whole new love?
I love talking with my former church members about relationships. To have someone seek out your opinion on a matter feels incredible; and to have multiple people to do so, feels amazing! However, as much as I love talking my head off about this thing called love, I abhor talking with young people about their relationship issues. No matter how much you share with young folk, you have to recognize that there is a generational shift in relationship rules. And that shift makes the current relationship climate, for a lack of better terms, a whole new world!
SPRUNG... it's the "new love". It's a noticeable connection that people discover after connecting with an individual's body, spiritually. Sprung can mask itself as love, easily, because not every connection attempt outside of love is a failure. Sprung is that connection attempt outside of love, that's successful. Sprung is the result of two people, communicating successfully, without the use of words. Sprung is when two people have great conversations with their bodies, and one or both parties connects with the other, spiritually. And Sprung can occur without sex having ever taken place between the two people...ever. Wow!!
LOVE is different. Love exists in the spirit realm. EVERYTHING in the spirit realm is established by words, including LOVE! Therefore, a man cannot have a relationship today with love, and words from the heart not be used somewhere in the connection of that relationship. Love is a spiritual connection that uses words from the heart, as the connector. And the process of loving another leads to love FOREVER. Sprung on the other hand, is temporal; no matter how strong the relationship may feel, the connection ends, eventually. Always!
The greatest task for folk of older generations, while having relationship talks with kids of the current generation, is to recognize the power of Sprung. In this climate where a person can be in a relationship for five or six years and not feel even a slight connection, makes the "sprung" connections feel like love, to the person who has never experienced love.
My goal in these next few days, is to do an in-depth study of this so called, "New Love". And hopefully by the time I'm done, there will be numerous postings I can reference in dealing with issues involving generational love. As I always told my church, if we lift love up, it will draw every man unto itself. I pray my blog strengthens your hands as you continue to lift love up!
Be blessed!
Dr Love
