Original Love
All love, fundamentally, is the love of God - the love of ‘It’ behind everything, all existence. And you have that love inside of you because you came out of that place, that vastness, into conception in a woman’s womb. And to that place you, your consciousness, your intelligence, will return.
So you have that love inside of you - where you came from, where there are no problems, no movement, no bodies, where there is no necessity for separation because all is one; where although you have an individual consciousness, you cannot separate the part from the whole. You came out of that reality into the rubbery matter of flesh. You pass through this flesh for seventy or eighty years and then the consciousness you are returns back to that place, into that place before conception.
The knowledge of that love is deep inside you, deep inside your body, underneath your self. You can only love anything to the degree that you have a knowledge of this original love within you: the love of being one and not being many.
