[The Pilgrim]

And yet, it is my belief that both that staement and the vice versa are the perspective of he that is at the point zero, where minus is God-loves-me-not, and plus is God-loves-me.

Now that love is unconditional. There are people, as every parent knows, who can love unconditionally. You can take it as read that God's love for us is greater than our love for each other and you know that it is unconditional love.

So "If" doesn't really come into it.....

The liberated soul is the person who has discovered that no matter what, God loves you, even if you are despised by every other living being. That love won't fail you. Interesting thing is that when you become aware of that enormous commitment, you would not want to live in any way that causes disharmony.

Let me explain what happens to me. I dance. In particular I have danced on a beach near where I lived that is 25km long. I used to walk about three km along and there all by myself I danced. Eyes closed. The waves were too loud to hear music so I carried the beat in my head. And danced. I would drift into a light trance and my rhythm would match that of the environment. Between the crisp cold energies that sweep in from the sea and the warm soft energies that come from the land I found a happiness. A happiness deep enough because I know how profound God's love is. No, I am not a Christian or affiliated to any religion. My experience has been entirely my own and I have interpreted that by comparing what I learnt with what the various religions teach. But for cultural differences they are the same. My experience has taught me a little different from your interpretation. That does not mean that I think that you are wrong. On the contrary you are right. Your experience and mine are the same, but you interpret it according to your cultural background - the way you have learnt on your path.

May God send you His blessings and keep you well.
