“Love is the most practical thing in the world. It’s what’s needed most. And that is what it is: love is the Willingness to see that which is Real in each and every thing. It is the willingness to let go of what you think something is in order to see it clearly-as it really is. Love therefore, is the supreme healing power because it looks beyond what appears to be true for what is true.

As you begin to see all things in this new way, you’ll find that you and the world are different than you thought they were-and magnificently better. You’ll sense that there is in deep, authentic cause for hope and joy and an optimistic outlook. the more realistic you are, you discover, the more optimistic you become. We are not victims doomed to death and suffering and short-lived transient joys, but being alive in a creative universal consciousness,mind or infinite presence, god.

You welcome love- that is, you become able to see that which is real in each and every thing - by clearing your mind of prejudice and beliefs and then then being with things as they are, Only when your mind is clean of preconceptions, even if your right, can you see and relate to what is actually true. With regards to other people, for example, love is the willingness to let go of your ego reactions to the way people are presenting themselves in order to see then as they really are. To love another is more a matter of letting go of everything you think you know about that person, so you can be with him or her in the now with a clear and uncluttered mind that is to have the ideas in advance about what it means to be loving and then attempt to behave “lovingly”. When you do this, people will feel as though you are extending love to them, that you are being loving, when in actual fact you will have merely withdrawn your preconceptions in order to be clean with them in the now.

You learn to love by learning to forgive. Forgiveness is the deliberate withdrawal of judgment. It’s the deliberate letting-go of criticism, condemnation, and conditions- needing- to- be-met-before-i-see-you-anew with regard to yourself. others and everything else, in favor of seeing the deepest truths. it’s about removing the filter in order to see clearly. Not judging yourself or others puts you in the position of perceiving accurately. Each one of us is the specific expression of infinite consciousness, whether we know it or not and whether we are acting like it or not. Everyone is the same aspect of the same infinite thing that you are. Your willingness to see yourself and others in this way is transformative, It encourages everyone to relax, be fearless, and therefore be less defensively aggressive.

This is something you will want to learn simply because the perspective and love that come from forgiveness feel infinitely better than anything coming from blame or judgement, Love feels better than non-love . Is this a surprise? The conscious realization of this fact, however, will propel you into a perception of your self and the world that will work to enhance and preserve this secure sense of overwhelming love.”
