Love is the First Principle of Life

"Once the student becomes really aware that "God is Love" and Love's True Activity comes through the heart, he will understand that to focus his attention on the desire to project Love forth, for any given purpose, is the supreme privilege of the outer activity of the consciousness, which can generate Love to a boundless degree. Mankind has not previously understood that Divine Love is a Power, a Presence, an Intelligence, a Light that can be fanned into a Boundless Flame or Fire; and it is within the consciousness intelligence of every individual, especially students of the Light, to so create and generate this "Presence of Love," that It becomes an Invincible, Exhaustless, Peace-commanding "Presence" wherever the conscious individual desires to direct It.

Somewhere it has been said, that Love may not be commanded. I say to you: "Love is the First Principle of Life and may be generated to any degree or without any limit whatsoever for Infinite use. Such is the majestic privilege of the conscious use and direction of Love.

When I say "generate," I mean the opening of the door through conscious devotion to the outpouring of the exhaustless Fountain of Love, which is the Heart of your Being -- the Heart of the Universe.

Students, by contemplating this Infinite Power of Love, become such a fountain of Its outpouring, that Its conscious direction may be Infinite in the student's use."
