Well, I am trying to figure that one out. That is a day-to-day exploration for me. It’s a moment-
to-moment discovering.
You would do better to make it a moment-to-moment creating. Life is not a process of
discovery; it is a process of creation.
How do 1 create, then, moment-to-moment, the experience of unconditional and unlimited
love?
If you do not have the answer to that question, then you cannot say that you understand what
it means to be totally loving. You understand what the words are saying, but you do not know
what they mean. As a practical matter, they have no meaning.
That is the problem today with the word “love.”
And the phrase “I love you.”
And the phrase “I love you,” yes. People say it, but many people do not understand what it
means—what it really means—to love another. They understand what it means to need
another, to want something from another, and even to be willing to give something in return
for what they need and want, but they do not understand what it means to really love, to truly
love.
Many people have had a real challenge, a real problem, with this word “love,” and this phrase
“I love you.”
Including me, of course. My life has been a disaster when it comes to love. I didn’t
understand what it meant to be fully loving, and I guess I don’t understand now. I can say the
words, but I don’t seem to be able to live them. Can anybody be truly loving, without any
condition, without any limitation? Can human beings do that?
Some can, and have.
These beings are called Masters.
Well, I am not a Master, by this or any other measure.
You are a Master! All of you are! You are simply not experiencing that. Yet you are well on
your way to experiencing mastery, My son.
I wish I could believe that.
So do I.
Until my most recent years, I didn’t understand anything at all about love. I thought I knew it
all. But I knew nothing, and my life was a demonstration of that. And you’ve just proven to me
