Love is a State of the Soul....
We have learned that Love is a state. In our modern, sanitized world, we are conditioned to think that Love is a package that can be bought or 'won', or intellectualized.
Many years ago I first experienced this higher state of 'Love'. It is the most sublime and wonderful feeling and can exist inside us but 'arrives' from somewhere else.
To intellectualize about love is like thinking about summer when it is winter. Summer can in reality only be experienced. It is a state of the earth. Just as love is a state of the soul.
In the words of Dante;
The love of God, unutterable and perfect,
flows into a pure soul the way that light
rushes into a transparent object.
The more love that it finds, the more it gives
itself so that, as we grow clear and open,
the more complete the joy of heaven is.
And the more souls who resonate together,
the greater the intensity of their love,
and, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other.
