Love is All I know. It works for me. I was created as love and will return when I have completed here….Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.<\/strong> That\u2019s my favorite Bible quote, I John 4:16\u2026hands down, no doubt about it, absolutely! Just imagine! What if we all realized that there was nothing else in the universe BUT GOD, the ULTIMATE DIVINE BEING and each and every one of us human beings is simply a projection of, a holograph of, an emanation of the Divine One that is LOVE. Wouldn\u2019t things be hunky dory?<\/p>\n

Both words, \u201cGod\u201d and \u201cLove\u201d have really been over-used. So let\u2019s \u00a0get back to some basics here. \u00a0By \u201cGod\u201d I mean the \u201cALL THAT IS\u201d\u2013the entire universe, all dimensions, both manifest and unmanifest, taken as a unified whole\u2013and called The One, though it has had many, many Holy Names down through human history.<\/p>\n

Then there is Love. Vast numbers of humans have experienced one form of love or another, down through the eons. \u00a0We have artists of all sorts\u2013poets, authors, film makers\u2013 and sages to thank for singing the praises of love. \u00a0But we don\u2019t need to read poetry or see a romantic video to know. Our hearts tell us\u2026.in either a small or big way, that love exists.<\/p>\n

Then, back to the Bible verse which is saying, God=Love which is like a mathematical \u201cidentity\u201d such \u00a0as 1=1, a mathematical truth! \u00a0And if God is Love, then the entire universe has to be the expression of LOVE, like a giant GIFT. And since we each know what we are going for\u2014we have felt love in our heart\u2013we can reach for the Ultimate experience of the Ultimate Love. Each human being CAN EXPERIENCE the Consciousness of GOD, through meditation and inner work on the Self, by taking up our own knowledge of love and imagining it magnified to the nth degree.<\/p>\n

Each person can experience Oneness with the One. It\u2019s that simple. \u00a0Our consciousness of LOVE can give us access to the Consciousness of the Divine One that Is All That Is\u2026that is GOD. \u00a0Oh, but you DO have to focus, spend some time, be devoted. Unless you are lucky and get struck out of the blue by God\u2019s love, like a lightening bolt. \u00a0It does happen.<\/p>\n

But generally, it all comes down to a person\u2019s inner life and what he or she cultivates in the mind and soul and spirit. \u00a0As the Dalai Lama has said: \u201cOne has to try to develop one\u2019s inner feelings, which can be done simply by training one\u2019s mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

May our hearts guide us!<\/p>\n
