Resonance
LIV — Resonant Love – Introduction
Resonant love is the deepest and most profound expression our souls give out to the Universe. It starts with the belief and the actions of loving oneself and journeys through the love given by ourselves to others, particularly our soul-mates. Resonant love is high energy which vibrates from the smallest particles of our beings. Allowing resonant love to flow uninterrupted is the most excellent prescription for happiness.
There is a universal desire in almost all of us, and that is to love and be loved. This beautiful yearning is found in people from the coldest climes of the high Arctic, in the sultry, hot regions of Amazonia, and through the industrious cities of Europe and the East. Wherever we are, there is love too. Love binds together the peoples of the world. It unites us all in a single consciousness of being.
When there is love in abundance, there is peace. When we are in love and being loved, we find an almost immeasurable degree of peace and contentedness. We don't feel empty or lost but fulfilled and alive to every pulse and beat of life.
Love is not only the ability to love another person and be loved in return by them. There are millions of avenues within which we can express our love: the love of living, the love of being healthy, the love of travel, of adventure, the love of achieving, the love of working, the love of sleeping, and many more countless expressions of love.
Before we can discuss resonant love it is necessary to look at the contrary: a world without love, and what is happening on the resonant level.
A world without love is like a cave without light. There is only a darkness, the abode of loss, and life empty of feeling. We all have deep wells within our hearts with which we hold out to be filled with love, and if this love is not forthcoming, there is great emptiness felt, and this, in turn, often leads to deep despondency. Many people, not finding love, can very easily withdraw further into their own lives, and with this inward action, nothing is allowed to grow; everything stagnates, and life is one long day of drudgery.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
