Love is Good. Good is Love.

= Truth.

 

 

I've had this debate many times already.  If this feels right to you, I would say keep on keeping on with it.

Absolute Love is Divine Feeling.  This is just a pointer.  You have to find this for yourself.  But you asked me, so that's my pointer.

How is this different from Truth?

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.

You guys gotta stop emailing him about this.

That newsletter has misled so many people at this point.

As much as I love and admire Ralston, and how powerful his work has been in increasing consciousness- there is truth in this. It does feel that if someone has some experience or realization that Ralston has not, it gets immediately pegged down into a silly belief or fantasy. 

 

It's wild because he has such a deep and profound grasp on so many aspects of reality - social, survival, time, infinity, life and death, mastery, body awareness- yet somehow Love was not realized.

 

I feel like if even Christ himself went to Ralston and spoke about Love, it would be shrugged off as mere fantasy.

Maybe the “Love” word is just another form of trickery nature played on itself to get you to sire a desire to play the game.

A game of life that ends up killing you off. Sounds like a fun game, not. But that’s the golden rule of the game, it can’t be anything other than a two player game where one player plays the role of the ‘liver’ and the other player plays the role of the ‘dier ‘ 

And we call that game the game of Love. 
 

If the game is just the play of maya, an illusion, then so must love be part of the same illusion.

Even A Course in Miracles leaves love well alone:

Quote

In-1. This is a course in miracles. 2 It is a required course. 3 Only the time you take it is voluntary. 4 Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. 5 It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. 6 The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. 7 It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love's presence, which is your natural inheritance. 8 The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.

In-2. This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:

2 Nothing real can be threatened.
3 Nothing unreal exists.

4 Herein lies the peace of God.

Absolute love is just the absence of contraction. You could call it openess, oneness, absolute being , creative power, god . You perceive it as a divine feeling in comparison with normal contracted state, but it's just being without limits.

We are closed to absolute love due evolution. It's necessary to be closed in order to move to greater complexity. Alive beings divide the reality between good and bad in order to self preserve, reproduce, evolve. This division is closeness, and it's natural and necessary. Enlightenment is just removing this closeness in some moments, and perceiving always that this closeness is just a temporary structure with a purpose, being able to see through it easily
