Love is the Foundation

[Anonymous]

…not just the pillar of my faith, love is the substance, the glue, the means, the end, the power. Everything comes back to love. The way I see it our mortal experience has two basic purposes: 1) to learn by experience, exercising our agency… and 2) feel and learn about love, learn to become motivated by love. Most religious people will say “feel the love of God.”

I see the message everywhere, the two great commandments, God is love, etc. on and on…

One of the few experiences of my life that I can never forget came just after the hottest point of my crisis as was starting to see this concept of love come into focus. It was the first time I really heard the lyrics of Seal:

Quote:

Then the rainstorm came over me

and I felt my spirit break

I had lost all of my belief, you see

and realized my mistake.

but time threw a prayer to me

and all around me became still

(chorus:)

I need love, love’s divine

please forgive me, now I see that I’ve been blind

Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name…

Through the rainstorm came sanctuary

and I felt my spirit fly

I had found all of my reality

I realized what it takes

(chorus)

well I tried to say there’s nothing wrong

but inside I felt me lying all along

but the message here was plain to see

“Believe” “Me”

I need love…
