The messenger.
On television one night I was watching individuals with various religious and philosophical beliefs talking about God and trying to define God when they started talking about loving God. At this point I found myself saying, “But you cannot love that which you are!”.
I then started to try and explain this impromptu statement of mine in words and this is the result some considerable time later; it is not easy to put into words:
One can love another only if the two are separate, because to love another is to project the love from one to the other. For this there have to be two entities, in this case there is one’s self and God. However, when two entities are one and the same thing nothing is, or can be, projected – but there can be an ‘awareness’ of oneness and this ‘awareness’ may be termed “fundamental love” – if we wish to use the term love – as opposed to “human love” in all its manifestations. This human love is an emotion and an emotion is a creation of the mind and, since the mind does not exist in Reality, this love does not exist except as a figment of the imagination [the non-existent mind].
