Loving One – Loving All

When we limit our love to a specific person (we do not mean sexually, but rather emotionally, mentally and spiritually), it is difficult to experience love in its
highest form. We love this person and not others, focusing on loving them because they offer us security, pleasure or affirmation; or because we consider them
to be "ours."

Pure love is universal. It can express itself toward any particular being,
but it cannot limit itself to that person or group. If it does, then it is love mixed with conditions.

When we single out one specific person and limit our love to them, we are in effect, loving an illusion. That person which we love becomes a temporary
manifestation of the one Universal Being.

That form on which we focus is a temporary physical, emotional, mental manifestation that will dissolve back into the galaxy. When we love the essence in
that star, that is, its spiritual essence, we begin to love all stars. The same essence is in all the stars. The same spiritual essence is in all beings. When we love
the spiritual essence in others and not only their form or the specific benefits that we receive from them. We love the spirit within.

Our love now reaches the highest, purest level, both unconditional and universal. It is unconditional because it does not depend on what others do or do not
do, and universal because we start to love more and more people independent of their appearance, character and other factors. We love the spirit within
them. We as spirit are one with the spirit, which is within them.

So we can love the star or we can love the galaxy of stars that is the night sky and thus all the stars. This is our choice. Our job is to purify love through our
efforts to love unconditionally in all of our relationships, no matter what the other does or does not do. Only then will we truly be happy. Only then will
experience our true Self.
