What Love Is

I am lazy with sunlight, reclining in the grass, my hat covering my face. With such comfort, I begin drifting off, to dream about things close to me. Relaxing more now I lose sense of sounds and the world around me but remain focused on the question. A question that is my path to insight. 

As my mind empties and I float deeper and deeper I sense a warm white mist that covers the field of view of my closed eyes. Coming forward slightly out of the mist is a white hazy figure, draped in white. A woman I sense. Her head and shoulders are barely recognizable as a person. As I gaze downward from the head she becomes less distinct until at where her knees should be, she just blends in with the warm, white mist. Just floating there in front of me. 

With a friendly smile, she comes from home, with a familiarity, to remind me of what I had asked her to do. Now is when I need it. From inside of me comes the feeling of a request for her to show me all that love is. My need to know is deep and has long troubled me. And she knows and understands.

She says that we have all been taught an illusion of love that serves the mortal needs of others without reflecting what is true in our soul. To know the Divine Creation is to know what creative expression truly means. It is not clear to me what this means at this point. I am expecting some emotional feeling to show me all that love is. 

Seeing my confusion she drifts closer to me and merges with me. In that merging she turns around within me and faces outward with me. We are merged, two but one. I begin to see through her eyes. As I look outward I see white light all around us. 
Then, almost invisible rays of light radiate out from a point in front of me. The rays of light run right through me. I feel them, they are kinesthetic. I feel the light going into me and through me. I lose my attention, then regain it and a new wave front of light and love runs through me and my guide. 

In every direction I look the center of my focus has light radiating from it. It's love. No concepts, no physical, no words, just radiating from all points in all directions. Every molecule, every atom, every particle radiating out this white light of love. All overlapping each other and radiating in all directions at once. A shadowless love.
