"It flashes out. Attend, lovers-just as "love is the answer," love is the answers. Each quality of love is a direct answer to a different problem (in these challenging times). As you read each of these traits, think of their binary opposites-they are the qualities of fear, and "the system" itself is defined. Love is Otherworldly. Love is a realm and a world apart."
"Love is Gentle and Tender. Love is Peaceful. Let me define this aspect of love through its antithesis, fear. Power (really, fear) is in competition with everyone. And absolute power is at war with everyone, and indeed at war with everything-all of creation. Everything is a threat because power is afraid of everything. In a state of love, we are, if transiently, at harmony with everything."
Love is defined as a set of distinct qualities and traits that each answer a specific problem. Love creates an otherworldly realm that feels uncanny and right side up. Love manifests as gentleness, tenderness and peace, producing harmony with everything and opposing fear-driven competition and power. Fear and absolute power treat everyone and all of creation as threats. Love embodies slowness and timelessness that suspend schedules, clocks and deadlines. Love offers an alternative mode of being in which time is experienced differently and relationships and presence displace the staccato pace of fear-driven life.
