Love is the great pervasive energy of creation, and it is this universal energy of love that unites the inner and the outer worlds of our existence: the inner world of our private, solitary selves and the outer world in which we live and relate and create and destroy, love and hate and fear, and so on. The inner and the outer worlds are united by this pervasive energy of love. The same love that is in our own deepest core, in our heart, is the love that surrounds us and pervades all external reality, the external dimension of reality. So, love is the great uniter, unifier, and it is the true nature of consciousness. It is the secret.
(Aspects of Love 1 by Laurence Freeman OSB )
