Love The power wisdom uses Love is an element of itself, without any form. It has no length or breadth, or height or depth. It neither comes nor goes. It fills all space. And melts all error down that comes within its power. What is the element that receives all sensation? Love for ourselves. this is the ground work or foundation of all our acts. It is the mortar dough in which all sensation is made. Of itself it contains no knowledge. It is perfect harmony; its elements or language is its perfection. It embraces all the senses; it is not Wisdom but the power Wisdom uses to bring all things into harmony with itself. You see a person, at first sight you are affected, and you attach your senses to the idea in the form of love. You may, or may not be deceived. Passion or excitement is matter governed by error acting upon ignorance. Science is to keep the two separate or in subjection to Wisdom. A child knows its mother, not by looks, but by something not included within these two senses: it is that something that makes her different in her relation to the child from any other woman. Suppose it be called love, or a desire for the child's happiness identified with her own. According as she directs the child in the pure intelli gence of that love or shields her feelings to knowledge derived from a source which does not contain that love, so shall the fruits be. This love contains an intelligence which if followed in spirit and truth may destroy every obstacle in the way of the child's happiness, and develop it into a self-governing responsible being. Then why is it not so? Because from our religious and social education no woman can carry out the high principle of her affection. She is taught by established morality to put restrictions on the child that would make her miserable in the child's place. The laws of love are the destruction of the laws of error, And they make us a law to ourselves. Love is a substance like food that comes from heaven to feed the soul. |
