In searching the various religions of the world, I find that we all began as light, or awareness. This awareness must have some way to express. This way is what we term love. Each individual has different types and kinds of experiences, so the method he chooses to use to express this love is different. Love is also the motive force behind creation in the physical. It, along with every thing else in the physical can be mis-used. This mis-use is seen as sacrificing some thing or belief for the benifit of others. Love or to love does not mean giving up anything. It is a way to add to the total self through the inter-relation of another person toward a common goal. However, there is a catch to being able to give love to another person, or to receive love from another. That catch is that you must first love your own self. You must respect the choices that you have made in the past, and then respond to what you have created. I send you my circle of love. Sam Spitzner Director, Ypsilanti School of Metaphysics
