Meditate on love. Then bring that love into whatever practice appeals to you - into Zen, jnana yoga, mysticism, selfless giving - it doesn't matter, it's all the same family. But bring love into your actions. If you want me to be able to help you at all, you have to love me as I love you. The more you love me, the more this consciousness is with you. It's not my consciousness, it comes through me. It's eternity. I have no consciousness anymore. I am eternity. The sooner you recognize that, the sooner you'll gain more of what's here for you. I am powerless to aid you unless you love. And that's the truth.
So now you have an inside secret that can save you 20 or 30 lifetimes. You are studying love. You are on the path of love with an embodiment of love. It is where you are supposed to be at this time. If, sometime, you feel that this is not the teacher, this is not the study, love is not the way, then find another way. I'll love you anyway.
