i respect both the message and the messenger. however, my personal experiences tell me love is not that powerful in this world, and i only speak from my experiences.

i am aware that some may not like what i'm saying, but there is no nice way to say the truth. one can either take it, whether one likes it or not, or one can ignore it.

i also hope i haven't crossed the line with this post. there is so much more to say, but i'm afraid my credit here is being slowly chipped away, so i won't be speaking of this anymore.

there are many definitions of the word love. i define love as the essence -- as the all, as the reconciler and beyond polarity. by this definition your view is paradoxical as there is nothing that can take place in this reality if not through love. love is not very powerful? you are love, your very thought process is made possible through love. it is easy to succumb to the illusion and feel love is not very powerful with all the lights turned down and the veil around us. the idea is to find the love within yourself, in a context that has meaning. ie - not doing it for personal gain or expectation. if this is what you define as being 'powerful', - - what you observe within our limitations and those who can impose their will over others - you need to stop looking without and seek to awaken within.
