the basis of everything you have ever done is love...

In the last texts we have begun to examine the creation of emotion and the fact that its true basis is self-love. Here, in this text, we will go on a short journey together to delve more deeply into the basis of all human action and discover that this action is indeed love. I know how difficult it is for most people to begin to see that the basis of everything they have ever done, even everything they have ever thought or believed, is love. So again, we will use a life story to gain a new perspective on human action and thought. Our story begins in America. Mary was …
