Quote:This then may be seen to be an object rather than an activity by some of your peoples, and the principle of this extremely strong energy focus being worshiped as the Creator instead of unity or oneness from which all Loves emanate.
What is an example of this Love being seen as an object and worshiped as the Creator?
To take this discussion further.
I saw this a completely different way.
Love becoming the object itself and worshiped as though it was the creator. Unity is the creator and love is an effect of understanding that unity "all is one". People always say God is love but then they go in their churches and synagogues and say we are right they are wrong, God loves us because we are right. When God is unity he/she is all, and because God is all there is understanding compassion and love.
Currently most of the worlds demented behavior is a seeking to collect and horde love/adoration. To be beautiful, smart, successful, famous, impressive, the best employee, richest, super Mom, super Dad as this will make one believe they are better so valuable and worthy of love.. But love is an effect of unity not seperation. So seeking to hoard love for oneself as if it's an object in short supply only causes you to seek to elivate yourself and seperate yourself from otherselves in effect decreasing perceived unity and the resultant love.
I might be way off but it was the tangent my mind followed.
I myself am guilty of worshipping love. Not as in the statements I illustrate above but I seek love, I seek to love, I seek to find love, and connection where I can love and truely be loved. Perhaps instead if I seek unity, and see unity everywhere I will find love everywhere as a result of deciding to only see unity.
I maybe should have meditated on this before posting but it's already typed out. lol
Maybe tomorrow I will think I should have gone to bed before posting this.
