a few years ago, i read this from a wonderful book while searching for what spoke to me on love. i hope you enjoy. from star man: (not the book) pm for name

i did not believe that god is love. how can one love an organizing force, a power? perhaps god was more than a force or power in the universe.

you think love is something that it is not. you identify love with your feelings. because of that you think love is a feeling. it is not.

you do not understand that love is commitment. that love is profound commitment not with the mind but with the heart. you do not love with the mind. you love with the heart, but you do not feel with the heart. love is on a deeper level than feelings.

you can not always detect it with your feelings. that has caused much confusion for your people. they think that they must feel something when love is encountered. sometimes they do. sometimes they do not. your people do not understand that love is a dimension like time or space. it is what is. love is what is. it is behind all creation. creation came forth out of that dimension. creation expresses love but is not itself love; it is love put into action.

"love is what is". love is the deepest dimension. you do not create it.
because you feel things that you associate with love, you think that it is your
love. you can not create love within yourself. you can create some things but you can not create love. in its purest form it is encountered on the level of silence. beneath matter and energy and all things that can be encountered in physical or spiritual realm is love. love is the basic element behind all that is.

when love comes in its purest form people do not recognize it because they are expecting it to be something else. you want love to make you feel good. sometimes it does; sometimes it doesn't. you want love to make you feel good about yourself; but sometimes it reveals things that you do not like about yourself. love always draws one back, into deeper levels of oneself, towards one's beginnings or onward, into new areas, towards one's end. love is the beginning and the end. love is the essence out of which all things come and towards which all things go. it is the elemental essence of the universe. as you encounter it you are changed; you must be changed; for love is constantly in transition and yet always the same.

remember the words. but remember also that the truth is not in the words themselves it is in he silence between the words. in the silence love speaks.

re-member, you are already love, so is everyone else you encounter. life and our experiences challenge us to or from love, but we are all love.

peace and good will to all !
