Resonance
LV — Resonant Love – The Receivers
Those dispossessed by love are truly lost. The vacancy and seat in their heart for love, which we are all born with, is filled with another feeling, and that is dread, fear, and a life of inaction, and by living without action, a deeper life of inaction is driven into the person, until life itself almost ceases, and they are nothing but mere corpses waiting to exit this life. And our life in this incarnation is our past, our present, and our future. The resonant energy: the past energy of past lives, the vibrational energy of our present existence, and the future beatings and pulses of thought of what is to be must not be wasted. Yes, we do have time in abundance, but if there is 'sin' in this Universe, then it must surely be, the sin of self-sacrifice and of not living. We have to realise our experience in this life, and it is only by living life in the here and now can we begin, have the necessary tools of understanding to comprehend our past and create the thought, and we can manifest the belief in our future.
Energy – and all who are living have energy – abound everywhere within the human body. It's in our movements, our eyes, our senses, our actions, and in our thoughts. The body is equipped with many kinds of receptors to receive the information, the codes, the stimuli of life in action, we are complete with every kind of receptor from ears for noise, a digestive system for food and nourishment, eyes for light and for receiving the visual stimulation of life etc. These are all manifest receivers, but we also possess other, more elevated and much more elusive receivers, and one such receiver is the ability to receive love and the accompanying fulfilment it brings with it.
We are all born with this desire within us to receive love, as well as the need to give out love in whatever direction we should so choose. From our earliest infancy we love to be doing things, touching things to learn, looking at things to determine their properties and states of being, and as we grow older, we develop this love of learning and of being and it becomes a passion, a special need, which we must have to be complete. The receivers of love are not passive either, but active, and manifest in their need, just like the stomach groaning when it is in need of nourishment, or the body yawning when it wishes to receive sleep. And so too, it is with the receivers of love within us; they too yearn to receive love, and if they don't feel satiated by love, then they become manifest in our hearts, and we feel somewhat empty. It goes against reason to deny these tiny particles of yearning the love of happiness, and, therefore, if each and every one of us wants to be happy, we have the need and the necessity to find love and receive the love found. We, in turn, will give to others and they too will feel loved.

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.
