LOVING WISDOM
I come to you because Wisdom, when attained, is LOVE. The secret of BEING: the apex towards which all roads lead; the final illumination; the awakened consciousness is LOVE.
LOVE is a principle a consciously maintained attitude of radiation. The children of Love are Peace, Contentment, Happiness, Beauty, Wellbeing and Opulence. LIGHT is the aura of Love. The evolving Flames of the All-pervading Universal One must, sooner or later, according to their individual ability, come to the conscious understanding that Love is the Ultimate.
Patience is Love. Impatience is fear. When one loves there is no fear, and the pulsations that go forth from that one contain no repellent vibratory action, but makes the loving heart a magnet for all good. The loving heart makes a shining body. Any quality in the emotions that is less than Love is opposing the natural activity of the Flame. When the individual allows the Flame of Love to expand through him, it is really God loving his Universe into Perfection.
To define Love is impossible because the outer mind cannot comprehend it; but to seek Love from God's Heart is to find the greatest ease and security in the Universe. Man has become many entities, separate and apart, and until he loves himself back into the indivisible whole, he shall not know happiness. Were a man to plunge into the Heart of his own God-Self and send forth the peaceful radiation of impersonal Love, though he never moved from his place of meditation, all the good in the Universe would be deposited at his door - for this is the Law.
Love is not emotional. It has no selfishness within it asks for no return for its outpouring because no human being can generate Love. Love is given of God by God through man. It cannot be bought nor sold nor bartered. He who would be a funnel for Love must ask the God of the Universe to allow him to unite with the Infinite and Melting Consciousness of the One into nothingness. Such a one becomes a Lord of Love.
Love alone is the reason for man's being. God individualized himself that there might be more foci through which the Love Principle might flow, and until each God-center becomes the fullness of Love, there will be no peace, no security, and no abiding contentment. God Love holds every being, every star, every planet, every soul and all of Nature in the scope of his Kingdom within himself. Love is fully acquainted with and one with every part of life and intelligence in this Universe, and there is no one shut out from this all-encompassing Consciousness.
This contemplation on Love cannot be stressed too powerfully; and the indescribable tenderness of God that throws out the wings of consciousness and gathers in the component parts of life, bathes them in the Love of the Spirit ,and like a mother bird with her eggs 'evolves a new life by the very warmth of its presence.
To you, blessed children, who stand at the threshold of a new state of consciousness, I offer the Flame of Patience from my Heart, for when you have become the patient, tolerant man, you will be a Lord of Love.
