Emit's discourse on "love"-:
Universe is a simple word that denotes the wholeness of everything we see, even into the reaches of space. So too is "love" a simple word that we use to express something that is in essence, expressless. One person, upon hearing this word according to the context used, will "feel" differently about it than another person. Love transcends emotion and feeling. It is the very essence, the very being of our Source. It is the reason we sacrifice. It is the force that directs our hearts and our minds into a spirit of giving. But, it is much more than these things as well. Without love our lives have little meaning. It is the language of love that the heart hears and responds to. It is the river of life that flows through our chakras and fills our spirit with joy.
It's power can change one life or change the world. It flows in a steady stream throughout the quantum field imbuing the universe with sustenance.
Love is a risk because great sadness and sorrow will follow the absence of the object of great love.
Love is a peaceful flower;
It gathers the light of day,
Reflecting the sun's harsh light with gentle hue.
When that which we love is no longer,
Love lives on;
It clings to the heart so torn asunder and cast into solitude.
The objects of one's love is ever changing. We love our family and we love our toys and we love life itself, but too often we fail to express love for ourselves. Without a healthy love for self we can never hope to have a healthy love for others. We love ourselves by attending to the needs of our several aspects, physical, emotional and spiritual.
It is a testament to the soul of man when love conquers the forces that seek to keep us in the dark shadows of our chains. Love returns when freely given because it energizes the quantum field and spreads out into the cosmos like electromagnetic waves and is reflected back to it's primary source ten-fold. Therefore, love can never be contained. It must stay in constant flux within and without our higher selves.
Love is never static. It grows like a seed grows into a giant tree. Only when we allow life's moments of testing to defeat us is it possible to venture into a pathos that stifles it's natural growth.
Healthy loves knows only patience, forgiveness, charity, sacrifice, and nurture. Anger is not the absence of love. Anger is natural when it is only temporary and is expressed in healthy ways not building up within our gentle spirit and hardening it's delicate core. Love is slow to anger and ever longsuffering.***
Deity is so foreign to my everyday thinking and yet Emit appeared to me at the cabin and helped me have a better understanding of the deity without as it relates to the deity within. The fireplace warmed the entire living room with it's welcomed heat and filled the mountain air with delightful crackles as the ashes danced along their flight upward into the chimney. We enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate, a drink he loved and did not have in his home era. He explained that chocolate in reasonable amounts actually stimulates the brain. He has explained weeks ago to me that every organic and inorganic substance we need for the body and the mind is on the Earth.
Our conversation drifted to the deeper and more meaningful questions about life. I scribbled every word as he spoke and helped him find the right words that seemed to elude him as he began to describe the "Inner Universe" which I could have also referred to as the "Hub" or "Central" universe as well. He used the fractal concept to try and explain. "The mandelbrot set is a universe of points in a plain created according to a simple formula. This one idea could be explored in depth; the idea that the most complicated universe is ruled by the simplest of mathematical rules.
