Love Is Not an Emotion

If we were to ask infinite being, God's being, to give itself a name, if it could speak, it would answer, ‘I’, for I is the name that that which knows itself gives to itself. As such, ‘I’ is the divine name. As soon as anything is added to the ‘I’, it seems to become a temporary, finite, separate being or self. ‘I’ is the intersection of God's infinite being and the separate self. When we experience love, we pass through a crack in the world, out of time and space. If we asked infinite being to say something true about itself, it would say, ‘I am, I know, I love, I create, I pour myself out of myself in a never-ending gesture of giving’. To be. To be aware. To love. To create. That would be a divine life as a human being.
