• The one who has learned to love all people will find plenty of people who will return that love. Ernest Holmes

Perhaps it seems inconceivable to be able to love ALL people. And certainly it seems like we must first be able to love ourselves before we can love anyone else. However, these ideas might be reactions to the Group Mind thought that to love is to be vulnerable, and to be vulnerable is dangerous.

Actually, the only thing we know how to do is to love. All of living, all urges, desires and responses grow out of our natural ability to love. Underneath our fear of each other, or underneath our disdain we sometimes feel for ourselves, is a pure, raw natural love. It is what "Spirit in us" means.

We need not do anything first before we can love.

John I -- Beloved,let us love one another, because love is from God..... Those who say, I love God, and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not
love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.

I accept my true nature as love. I express my true nature as love. I recognize my love everywhere. I feel my love within my being. My love, my God, my reason for being. I give thanks for my life and all that is in it.
