"There is no divine love sitting on a cloud; there is no divine love floating around here in the air. The only divine love in this room is the divine love which we permit to flow out from us. And divine love doesn't mean human love, or emotion, or sensuality. Divine love means spiritual love, which means forgiveness, patience, cooperation, gentleness, charitableness. All of these things are embraced in divine love, and as we express them they meet our every human need. If we do not express them, they are unexpressed and are not meeting our human need. That experience is an illustration of what I'm saying to you in this entire lesson: that the truth up there [in words] did nothing for us. It was first the understanding it, then the putting it into practice. Then it operates, not only for me, it operates for all those who will grasp it, understand it -- then practice it." -- from Joel Goldsmith's "The Foundation of Mysticism" Return to the 2004 Weekly Passage Archive Page |
