Peter Ralston On LOVE - Newsletter Response

Hello Peter, all good? I have a question(s) regarding Love in a metaphysical and existential way.

What is your view on Love and Truth being exactly the same thing? Why don't you talk about Love as if it were the generating principle of everything? Is it true that Infinity = Love = Truth = Consciousness? Thanks for your work!

Henrique,

It is quite simple. Why don't I talk about love as the generating principle of everything? Because it's not. Is it true that all those things are the same? No. You are relating to a belief system that you have heard, and you like the idea that all these distinctions are the same. Have you directly experienced any of this? No, of course not. Just wanting something to be true isn't a pursuit of what is actually true.

If these were all the same why do we have four different words for them? If for some reason their very natures turn out to be the same then they would be the same. Do you experience infinity? No. Do you experience Truth? Depends on what we're talking about in that case, doesn't it? Do you experience what Consciousness really is? No. Do you experience love? Perhaps, but that is a feeling-experience isn't it? Why would you say that is the same thing as infinite consciousness that is true?

I suspect you can see that it is only a belief you happen to like. If that is the case, why would I talk about such things? My commitment is to the truth, and to getting to this through direct experience or direct consciousness, not to feeling good or believing in anything.

Does that answer your question?

Peter

Love includes denying Love.  
no but seriously.. it doesn’t matter what Ralston says about love or what Leo says about god . This is appealing to authorities. You should find out what is true for yourself . I think this is a central core pillar of Leo’s teachings as well . This word “sovereignty of mind “ is being overused in the forum where people say sovereignty over their own mind means you are epistemically responsible for what you hold as true or false . 
Leo isn’t saying anything new .  The Bible said God is Love 2000 years ago . What matters is what you are conscious of .

Lol.

Infinity is literally Love. He is wrong. It has nothing to do with belief.

Of course God is Love. What the fuck else would it be?

Anything Ralston disagrees with is a belief to him. Which is quite self-deceived.

You are never going to get Ralston to understand Love. So stop trying. This issue is settled.
