This also makes the 'love' circumstantial and framed according to what may or may not have already been accepted. It's a way to make use of catalyst to appreciate and to acknowledge what we have.
Hmm, I'm curious if you've tried it.
When I seek the love in the moment, it's not because I "have to search for it" but because I choose to. To me, it's a way to accept the moment (and myself, the other(s) involved, and the catalyst being presented) as fully as possible.
Ra says that it's "the most nearly centered and useable" exercise within our illusion; a central act of will that forms the cornerstone of the rest of the life experience. For me, that's been true.
