Love runs. the gamut from love of food to the love of God, and this encompasses humanity from pole to pole. Love basically is a vibration denoting at its highest frequency, God and scales on down in relativity of matter to its most common denominator. Any individual at any level of life is capable of expressing opposites in any facet of life. Some, however, for the most part, express the negative far more often than they express the positive. At any given level of consciousness in the physical world, the opposites expressed would be greater or less, according to the level of consciousness being lived. Love at its lowest expression in the human would be expressed as passion, both physical as well as mental. Love for one another would be expressed through low physical passion with little or no consideration for the other's feelings, and we say he is lacking in sensibilities. On the other hand, at a higher physical expression there is great consideration for the partner's feelings and a desire to please. The physical relationship also moves from being animalistic to one of loving care.

Love for different things also is expressed in different modes of expression. Mother's love for a child, love of country, love of possessions, etc. None is expressed in the same way. Each has its own individual quality of expression, yet it is love. At a low level of consciousness one is quick to express extremes and quick to change feelings, because little or no understanding exists and such individuals most always reason to a conclusion and not from a conclusion. Also, stability in their character is missing. As one grows in consciousness, the expression of love also turns to a higher and higher expression. No longer is there total selfishness as some consideration for others creeps into the person's psyche. So, love runs the gamut through all the levels of consciousness, from total selfishness to selflessness. However, in between lies a vast gap, a field of garbled expression. A person showing a modicum of love in one aspect of life may show none in other aspects. However, where love is instilled in a child at an early age, this follows him through all of his life. It is said where one is loving of his mother he will also be loving of his wife and children and others.

Love is a force or vibration that sustains the universe. 'God is love,' is an expression of the highest conceivable vibration in and beyond creation. Love is an emotion that is true and it is also true that love is a positive emotion or vibration that increases in intensity as one evolves and also causes the negative emotions of life to fall away. It is also true that what you express is determined by where and on what you put your attention, and to what degree you affix your attention on this and that. Positive emotions and selfless expressions of love are natural human expressions and place no tension on anyone, while negative expressions puts one under great stress and tension.

One of the great problems of life is that one believes that what he desires is good for the mere reason that he desires it. Such thinking is a fallacy and it is a broken rung on the ladder of life that will not sustain or support anyone who places his weight on it. Life is complex, and it is often very hard to know the good from the evil, because evil has a way of disguising itself as good, and when we discover the deception and the truth of the situation, we have undergone a bad experience. However, it is hoped that due to our lack of discrimination we learned a valuable lesson. Yet, it is amazing how so many can experience so much and yet learn so little.

Everyone in life desires to be happy. An exception may be those who, deluded, believe they are happy in their own misery. True happiness is really an outgoing expression of live in life; a selfless giving without expecting a given return. While love is the true expression of one's own self it is not something that is sloppy or mushy - it is really a quality of great strength and of great endurance. The love of God for His human children is a love of the highest quality and of inconceivable endurance. Love is also all-encompassing: it is gentleness, yet it is firmness; it is giving, yet doing so wisely; it is helping, yet not meddling; it is devotion, yet not fanaticism; it is adoration, yet not being possessive. Love is many things, and in its highest expression it is all things.

As we evolve in consciousness we also grow in love. Love becomes an outpouring of divine qualities. Anyone wishing to use a barometer to measure his degree of development has only to gauge his own quality and quantity of love as his barometer and he will know exactly where he is on the scale of life. Many claiming to be highly developed and highly spiritual still do may unloving things to others and this shows exactly where they really are in spirituality.

The infusion of the Being [through our practice of Transcendental Meditation] is really the infusion of love and the infusion into ourselves of our Divine qualities, and this is love. Love as an expression of Divine quality does not have to be declared by anyone, because it automatically radiates from one. Now, each spoken word is an expression of love and each act is an act of love. So love is the true goal of life because love is eternal. When all else has vanished, love alone will remain in its resplendent glory. Before one can ever hope to stand erect in the light or become eternal or God-like, one must become a living expression of his own highest quality, and this is love and this is also God.
