Have you noticed that there is nothing that you can hold on to? Everything is created, changes, disappears, and something new is created. I have taken hundreds of photos of squirrels in an attempt to hold onto these little creatures. And it is just not possible! Yes, I have the photos, perhaps, but not the squirrel. The joy I feel as I connect with the little squirrel is indescribable bliss! The essence of the squirrel is unconditional love... the essence of everything is unconditional love. There is nothing in the entire universe that is not unconditional love!
Therefore, there is no need to try and hold on! We are swimming in a sea of love... we are not separate from love!
I so appreciate Richard Sylvester's The Book of No One. He says, " The phrase 'unconditional love' is not a comforting phrase, it's a fierce phrase. It's impossible for an individual to really conceive of unconditional love, no matter what spiritual philosophy we may embrace. We may have it as a poorly understood concept but it cannot be experienced by an individual. ~~ When the person drops away it is simply obvious that unconditional love is the nature of the mystery."
So then, what does this mean? Listen below to Jeff Foster as he speaks of love as "the falling away of me, the falling away of separate self".
"Love is not something you can have... it's what you are!"
And here's how the world of Love looks if you are stationed on another planet!
