Love is

Page 2


* * *

life has one end,
an end that never ends
keeps repeating, love

love births love
in ever self-divulgence
in the enjoyment of self-discovery

love divulging itself
discovering itself

like a diamond calling attention to itself
exploring varied aspects of itself

love appears as a shapeless mystery
no one can say what it is
for love is not a thing
not even an emotion or feeling

a loving feeling
is a feeling, not love

a loving thought
is a thought, not love

love appears differently, from
body-mind (person, ego)
to True Self (soul, Self, True Self)
to the Absolute (Tao, God, Goddess, Truth, Awareness...)

so, love is dynamic, a happening
and experience of love is shaped by
the consciousness from which one experiences love

love in the body is known as bodily sensations
love in the mind is known as understanding
love in the Self is known as communion
love in the Absolute is known as union

in this last
love can, still, manifests at the prior
developments of consciousness

for the Absolute
includes all prior
they being enfolding in the potential of the One

love for the natural environment
and felt for another being
seen, unseen
human, animal, plant

is received as beauty
the form being a means of Beauty shining
yet the received beauty not being based on the body itself

this happens, as example,
when one does not find another person beautiful initially
yet comes to experience him or her as such

this transformation
is by love itself, through the sharing of love

love manifests
preparing us to be spiritualized (en-goded)
so we know love beyond subject, so a giver, object, so a receiver

love, then, shifts from 1 + 1 = 2
to 1 + 1 = 1
to 1

this relates to our sharing about Pure Prayer
where prayer is simply being-with in silence
no sense of either subject or object

no one is praying to one
prayer is

prayer, in such, is not saying prayers
is not specifically religious, only being-with

so, love loves
loving itself
as pure Subjectivity

in this loving, by being,
we discover we are Love
and the expression of Love loving

so, in Love
we cannot say what Love is
only that, somehow, we know Love is
