Rumi
Someone asked, “What is love?” I answered,
“You will know when you become ‘we.’”

Try to remember, the perception of God here
represents one consciousness, a state of oneness, a singular consciousness
instead of numerous separate consciousnesses.
We, is in reference to no exceptions of
negative and positive, bad and good, wrong and right, theist and atheist, black
and white, dark and light. An example, I am of the light; you being of the dark
are not accepted as we.
Love and light is not in counteraction or
opposition to hate and dark, only through a perception of hate and dark can
this be perceived. Too many people today use love and light in counteraction or
opposition, this is not we but I, a separation by the ego from a perceived
opposing motion!!
Has love and/or light an opposite? For many
people, love and/or light doesn't have an opposite, this is of hate and dark
perceptions. Why? We first think an opposite refers to oppositions, when only
in hate and dark perceptions can this be perceived.
The Western mind in all of us is about
separation therefore creates opposition, hate.
The Eastern mind in all of us is about
union therefore creates compatibility, love.
God represents a singular consciousness
therefore love no matter of what motion, for example of motion, dark and light.
This doesn't mean this singular consciousness is loving, it simply means it's
of love. The Western mind perceives God is loving when this singular
consciousness, represented by what we call God, is of love, there is a
difference.
Humans, in their separate forms, are
loving, be it through God or anti-God. This singular consciousness,
God, void of separation is this love humans express. It is also
wise to be aware that opposites are only in opposition when perceived
separations occur!!
