Love

This is a subject that is, and should be dear to all people. It may be apparent though, that some people are not concerned about it. Why? Ignorance. And remember, ignorance is synonamous with evil. It seems that many, (or even most) people do not know what Love is, how to do it, or even what it feels like. I should start by saying that LOVE IS ALL THERE IS. That isn't to say evil doesn't exist - it does. At the same time it doesn't - there is no such thing. Yet evil is sometimes everywhere. What is the solution? Love is the solution. Or is it Truth? Love and Truth go hand in hand. Truth and Love should be shared simultaneously with everyone we meet, and everyone around us. We actually "meet" WHO EVER WE SEE, it does not necessarily have to be a real 'meet and greet' situation.
Love is impersonal and God is Love. AND as it says in the Bible, "God is no respecter of personalities." There are many things we could say about Love and so far we are only scratching the surface. To truly Love others should be a major goal of everyone, which brings us to a definition of what Love is. "Love is the fixed determination to do what is best for the greater good." It is not a feeling - that is a distortion of true Love, but the feeling will almost certainly be there. Love is not making the object of Love feel comfortable, superficially. Sharing the Truth with someone may not seem Loving at the time, but it is the most Loving thing you can do. Buddha and Jesus both shared the Truth with others, AND they were both persecuted because of it. Once again ALL Love is IMpersonal. Personal Love, is no Love at all. We all have experienced Love in one or other of it's forms, yet, how many people know and demonstrate it in their lives? Everyone should do this without question. True divine Love is much misunderstood by others, but will be understood completely in the coming Age. We should make PURE Love our goal, a Love which requires nothing back. God is Love and God and Love is all there is. So in order to unify with All There Is (which is actually the Goal of life) we need to Love. We need to increase our capacity to Love. When we Love one person we Love all. So much could be said on the subject that it is almost impossible to cover it, but it is worth making a study of what Love is, though not intellectually. The EXPERIENCE of Love will explain, what Love really is, though, most definitely you will need TRUE knowledge. Finally I will say, "The care of the whole, does not involve the neglect of any part." Similarly, the care of the part, does not involve the neglect of the whole. BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, this can be the truest Love of all - EXCEPT... you have to know what that self is. Perhaps this last statement sums it up - we know our true self is Love, just as God is Love - we were made in His image. So, forever Love! Love will take you closer to that true self than anything.
