Question: Is true spiritual love just “sugar coating,” or is it something powerful and extremely important?

Answer: The whole reason for this Work we are doing, and for the Great Work on this planet of which our present body of work is a reflection, is precisely so that each of us can realize and better express the timeless nature of Real Love.

With this in mind, none are perfect in being this expressed radiance. What we “are” — if you will — is a “work in progress,” which means each of us, accordingly, is somewhere on this line of greater being, doing and being (individually) what our present level of awareness makes possible.

So even though you haven’t mentioned this… don’t be too hard on yourself if and when you miss the mark; it’s necessary that we see (time and time again) that we are and have nothing like we’ve imagined we do when it comes to this Divine Love.

All “sugar coatings” must be dissolved by the living water of Truth, by the action of its Light upon and within us. As this takes place, and we see that “no one is good, save the Father,” then — little by little — that ineffable Love for which we long makes itself known. And when the light from this Sun of all suns pierces the human heart, one knows, without taking thought, this love is a gift; it is mine only to the extent that I am Its.
