"Love is no person, no thing"
An exploration into what truly is!
“There is no day to day life, that’s an illusion.
There is only consciousness and it’s immediate forms being created, discovering the core of what a form is and then dissolved, and then recreated.
Some call this evolution but you have to discover that consciousness itself does not evolve, only the intelligence that arises out of the light of consciousness, called mind.
But consciousness is not the Self, consciousness is the light of the Self and therefore of the Self not the Self itself.
The distinction has to be made, small self (changeable) or Self, Absolute, the one and only. That’s the crossover that one has to make as conscious awareness in what appears as every day life but that’s just an appearance. Every day life with all its apparent swings of positives and negatives is purely initiation energies to move the consciousness to realise its forms and the forms to realise it’s consciousness - Yin & Yang, masculine and feminine.
There’s nothing that’s going on in daily life that is not a direct manifestation of the interior of consciousness and its play of forms.
All that is, is consciousness creating itself, knowing itself, growing itself, returning to itself.
This is the movement of awareness as Love itself.
There are no opposites in this.” - B
