Well... this should have, more accurately, been posted as an Origami, BUT... whaddya gonna do?

I want to talk about the many shades and hues of those emotions confused with Love. When you see someone and you get hit by the lightning bolt, that IS NOT Love. That is fascination and enchantment; Karma magnetics. When you feel stirrings in the nether regions, that is not Love, that is Lust. I need not list the vast array of deceptions that account for the population's maintenance and replacement of their numbers, and all the broken hearts to follow.

Love... is something that g-r-o-w-s; like the tree we mentioned a couple of postings ago. It must be fed and nurtured. As love grows it e-v-o-l-v-e-s. It rises to a high and keening pitch above the winds of suffering and distraction that howl below it. Love... in its finer expressions, is beyond the experience and understanding of most. The Rapture of the Saints cannot be interpreted into common understanding or parlance. In the last age, it expressed as Sacrifice. In this age, it will demonstrate as Brotherhood.

All of the higher expressions of Love are Impersonal. The Personal... limits. The Personal is a thing apart. The Personal still has, even in its highest regions, a sense of separateness, short of union. Of course... you will ALWAYS have a persona because the light needs something to shine through, BUT... it is held in absolute control by The Higher Mind when illumination comes to call. This is in your future. You should cherish it.
