| BkII:1.I.4 | Love is the foundation of everything that exists. Love is the source of creation and of every truly creative act. Love is not only the foundation of life, it is life itself. To speak of love and of life is to speak of the same thing, just as speaking of truth and speaking of love is the same. To say, "I am love, truth, and life," is but to say "I Am." Isn't this the same as saying that love is God? Nothing can contain God; nothing can contain you, because you are love and nothing but love. That is the reason that every time you seek to possess you lose sight of your being. Because love cannot be contained, because love is life in all its abundance, then we can easily understand that behind the desire to possess objects is the desire to possess love. |
