Love takes the form of a sphere. True love is at the center of the vertical and the horizontal connecting the two. How enraptured would a person's lips look when they smile as they give into the power of true love?
How beautiful would the five senses be when they are enraptured in true love and harmony as they move toward God? God doesn't become joyful through beauty by Himself.
God can only experience beauty through another whom He relates. This is why He created human beings. God wanted to travel the world of the human heart more than He desired to create the heavens and earth.
Even God breathes. He breathes true love.
God keeps up with the eternal universe centering on true love. Only when you reach this level of love can you enter the realm of God's breath and live forever.
The universe, the sun and the earth are all round. What do all round-shaped things center upon? Do they become round on their own? They only become round based on a relationship with another object. The world is a living, existing entity. A substantial entity that continues based on the realm of circular relationships.
Then, what is the origin that forms this circular relationship?
The motion of love is the original source of this harmony. When you pull only one hair on someone's head, the whole body moves toward that pulling force. Love is the same way. When you pull on love, the universe pulls toward the force.
Love is like a nerve.
When you move love, the whole universe moves in accordance with it. We as humans were created to be enraptured with something outside of ourselves. When one is enraptured by another, they are truly happy.
Artists are taken by art, literary artists by the books they write or by reading great masterpieces they have read. Such people can be said to be happy people.
This is the same with our Heavenly Father. We should be enraptured by the multi-dimensional ideal love of God and follow only Him.
What is the most precious thing sought after by man and woman?
It is love.
Love is something that people like forever, and God does too. Love is what the whole universe likes most of all, and forever.

Love is something that people like forever, and God does too. Love is what the whole universe likes most of all, and forever.
Although it is invisible, love is the most precious treasure on earth.
Love is the most valued because of its unchanging nature. Gold is precious because of its unchanging color, a diamond is precious because of its unchanging hardness, and a pearl is precious because of the unchanging harmony of its colors.
However, these precious treasures do not have life in them. True love, on the other hand, is a treasure that has life, and is therefore more precious than all of them.
There are two types of love. There is the false, self-centered love and there is true love that originated from God's being. We are only speaking about this true love as false love is opposite, not everlasting, centered on circumstances and does not include God.
Everyone likes love. Ultimately, through love we come to love more and more.
Love flows into the hearts of individuals, into the heart of a family, into the heart of a people. It flows everywhere. And wherever it flows, everyone welcomes it. There is no way to block love. Everyone wants something higher, don't they?
For a person who moves and breathes with the universe while connected through the ties of love does not need formalities when they arrive at the palace of God. This person can come and go to the inner sanctuary where God resides and call on him. God will answer, "Oh, my child, you are here!".
God dreams of this day.
But what is the problem of the human world that prevents all of humanity from enjoying this day? It is love. Whether love shines and burns brightly. For love to burn bright, that light must burn internally and externally.
Then what should cause love to burn?
Simple. It burns from the desire to love. When we look at our purpose of life, then we realize that when we deal with mundane affairs in our life that its just a stopping point upon our journey to reach a higher place than our situation now.
Where is God?
If God is omnipresent, this means that He is not in one location. He is wherever true love is. Then, based on this love He becomes omnipresent.
Did you know you and I can become omnipresent when we make love our central focus? We can enjoy this privilege when we possess love. The word equality does not have meaning without love being present. Genuine equality is only possible when people live for the sake of others centering on love.
Through love, a man and a woman can be on equal footing and a mother can be on equal footing with her son even if he is the nation's president. We must realize this.
Through love, man and woman can stand on equal footing and a mother can be equal to her son even if he is the president of the nation. We must realize this fact. God created humankind to be the center of all things of creation.
Then, what is at the center of human beings?
True love.
God's love produces a vertical line. For heaven and earth to be set up, man and woman also need to create lines of love;the woman's goes to the man and the man's goes to the woman.
All things that possess love can have equal status.
This is how the principle of the universe works:
The lines of love create a circle which rotates. When a man and a woman appear with true love, it is perfected love with a negative charge. When this perfected and true negatively charged love is formed, God's positively charged vertical love automatically is present.
You can only form a reciprocal relationship with the universe when you practice love. Without love, this reciprocity cannot exist. Love can be abundantly and fully put in motion without resistance because it is gentle and humble.
Anything that is gentle, humble and sacrificial it can relate with anything and anyone and can go anywhere without resistance.
The key to work without resistance is by living for the sake of others, sacrificing for others and serving others. Why must we do this? We do this in order to prepare and perfect our spiritual body's respiratory organs which we use to breathe love in the second life of the spirit world.
All beings that have the ability to reproduce come together in twos in order to multiply. Love is the ingredient that brings about harmony in the process of reproduction. This principle is true for the multiplication of all living things in the natural world.
Even when we think about water there is a female water and a male water. Fish do well in areas where these two waters mix;many fish live well where cold and warm water mix. This is ideal. There must be harmony in this ideal.
The birds living in the north fly south to raise their young, and the birds living in the south fly north to raise theirs; this migrating back and forth follows a rhythm. Since they were born there, the birds return to the place of their birth to have their young.
Fish living in cold water lay their eggs in warm water and fish living in warm water can only lay their eggs in cold water. A harmonious unity of yin and yang must be established. That is why they migrate.
Love can only be achieved with a relationship with a partner. Even God who is love, has no way to experience love by Himself.
Love cannot be realized without finding a partner.
You and me? We are the masterpieces of creation fashioned so that even God can find love in which He longs for.
When you catch the intoxication of the love of God, you would never become bored by His creation even if you were to intimately stare at a grain of sand or flower for thousands of years.
We we realize that we were born in a universe of love we can become infinitely happy.
Yet when we look at the situation today, we do not find much happiness. We lost the ideal which God originated since the beginning of creation. We have walked away from the principles to become true object partners in front of God.

True love is not something that can be forced; it is willingly expressed.
When you are actively loving someone, do not do so with the intention to receive. Ideal love is only realized through the action of giving and receiving.
Love is something that even if it is not there, it feels as if it is, and even when it is, it feels as if it is not. Love operates like a mysterious mirage in all shapes and forms, which are good when you think they are bad and bad when you think they are good.
If love was visible and could be touched, pictured and its form could be realized by anyone, you would be bored with love in less than a day.
True love perfects the ideal of unity in the universe.
Even if you were to gaze upon a great masterpiece, if you can't find love within it, you will spit it out. This same principle is true between husband and wife.
Why do humans like love the most? Because love is the subject that unites everything and makes it our own. People cannot fathom how good love is.
Bees concentrate so intently on getting the nectar in the flowers. Their heads are thrust into the flower and their abdomens stick up in the air. You cannot pull them out even with a pair of tweezers.
Love brings things into oneness, so just like parents love their children, the more one loves the more love increases. A person who is one with God through love will never be separated from the love of God. What the purest form of love this is!
Have you ever observed a bee going from one flower to the next? The bee concentrates so intently on getting nectar from each flower. Their heads enter the flower and their abdomens are exposed to the air. You cannot pull the bee away from the flower.
If you tried to pull them apart you would have to pull so hard that their abdomen comes off. The bees will not come out of the bud because the nectar in the flower tastes so intoxicating. If nectar tastes this good, what about the taste of true love?
Which is more intense, the taste of love or the taste of honey? As a part of God's creation, honey tastes purely sweet but love is even greater.
Love Unifies
Words alone will not unite two different people into one.
If these two people are united around material goods, as soon as the material good disappear they will quickly separate. Then what is needed to unite them? Even if a third person appears and unites them, when this person disappears they will separate. Then what is necessary to join two people together as one eternally?
Without love, unity cannot be attained. There must be love.
Love has the power to unite even our five senses. For example, an old man may smell bad to everyone else, but to his wife his smell is sweet and pleasant. If the old man's hands and face are skin and bones or sagging, his wife will like his face and hands. Love makes it so.

When the wind of love blows, the whole world seems beautiful. Everyone becomes a poet or a romantic when he or she falls deeply in love.
"A flowing love that embraces the spring and has still more to give in reserve, a love that melts the snow and thaws the ice in a cold winter -- infinite love, immeasurable in height or width -- should form a bond with us and never leave us. It should take its place in the core of our being." SMM
Without love, we cannot find anything of value in the world.
When you feel such a love pumping inside of us, you can even compete with the universe. If one has absolute love in the center of his heart which is love that is the same from beginning to the end, he or she can compete with the massive universe even though he is merely one individual.
Even when we look at a piece of grass we must do so from this standpoint. When we look at a flower we should relate with it while embodying the heart of God. When we look at insects, birds and all kinds of animal creatures we should connect our inner feelings and the heart of God.

If you live with the love of God inside of your heart, you are the son and daughter of God. The central figures of the universe are such as this who are able to govern heaven and earth. Love is the main element that enables people to attain this position.
Did you know that your mind can expand larger through the heart more than through infinite knowledge?
A heart of love is so big that it can even embrace the universe. Once we develop this original and mighty domain, even God would want to settle and take naps here. Since we are not able to embrace God through our knowledge, we should see how great a heart of love is.
Love transcends the five different races of humankind and draws no distinction between black, white or yellow races.

Love transcends all national borders, for God's love knows no boundaries.
That is why the love of God is great.
When love flows despite the environment where it flows from, the environment adapts to this flow and will develop.
What can please God the best?
God will only be pleased when we adopt this perspective to make this a reality in our lives. This is why we must walk this path of love.
