51. About you: Chapter - The cycle of love (25)

Considering the duality of our world, just as the law of conservation of matter exists, so does the law of the conservation of spirit, which is nothing other than the law of the conservation of love. The law of conservation of matter states that matter is not lost but only transformed, which is true in a closed system. The law of conservation of love in an open system goes further, because, knowing the universality of man and the analogies, it takes into account not only the love given and received by people, but also love coming from its source, the One and Only. The love i.e. a quantum field continuously flowing from the One does not distribute evenly throughout the world, just as the distribution of matter in our material world is not uniform. We should ask ourselves: how well do we recognize the constant flow of love from the One and Only? How much do we attract love to ourselves by giving it to others? For the world to function, love should be in balance. As much as flows out, it should flow back in. 

However, we experience that the balance was disturbed long time ago, and we could say that for millennia, the scale of love has been negative, with fewer and fewer people living in love, and thus giving less and less. In analysing love, it would be difficult to discuss the quantity or quality of love, as we cannot measure love (quantity) or distinguish what the difference would be between two loves (quality). Therefore, it is more beneficial to examine the conditions of giving and receiving love, meaning the profane, non-traditional, selfish love (pseudo-love) according to the individual self, and its counterpart, the mystical, traditional, pure, unconditional, selfless love, which belongs to the universal self. In the cycle of love and in maintaining balance, the mystical and meaningful love of the universal self participates, whereas the love linked to the individual self is, at best, simply romantic love, or an external emotion. The true love is not emotion. 

In the Middle Ages, it was already written that love can be attained through self-knowledge. Therefore, one who does not know oneself can only give the profane, generally conditional love represented by the individual self, which could even be called meaningless love. The selfless, sacrificial love is the highest quality of love, especially when we give our lives, when we redeem others at the cost of our own life, and we ask for no reward. This is what our Initiation Master also did. What can be evaluated, therefore, is the highest and meaningful awareness connected to the universal self, sacrifice, and its dual counterpart, the sleepwalking of the individual self, which disregards sacrifice. The conceived thought, the spoken word, and the performed action depend on the two states of our soul. It is therefore not entirely true that those who give more will receive more. 

Our task is also to assist the One in the radiation and circulation of love through our unconditional paradoxical love, passing on love, and thus improving the balance of love. Unconditional, qualitative love always means more, thus playing a greater role in maintaining the balance of love than the conditional, non-paradoxical, quantitative love, or self-love. Unconditional love depends on freedom and free will. Lower-grade conditional love (pseudo-love), on the other hand, is tied to a situation, state, or perhaps a person (e.g., "If he/she love me, I will love too"), and with the passing of the condition, the love also disappears. In unconditional love, there is no "I" and "you" relationship, there is no situation or state, because it resembles to the relationship between the part and the whole, or the son and the father, the created and the creator. 

Only in this love can we transcend ourselves, when we are able to take on and feel the other person. Therefore, one who nurtures unconditional, all-encompassing love within themselves has liberated their soul, which is now fire and weapon resistant. Love is not morality, because morality is bounded to time, whereas love is timeless, eternal, and sacred. Interestingly, religion does not list love among the sacred things. Why? Perhaps because there is the moral ten commandments, where love is missing. Love is self-existent, whereas morality comes from human compulsion.
