An addition to the BHT, on how we may come to know God through Love. (The painting above is “Saint Augustine,” by Philippe de Champaigne, c. 1645-1650, oil on canvas.)

7 Beloved Family: may all beings Love each other, because Love comes from God. Accordingly, all Beloved being and creation is born from God, and that being who Loves may know and perceive God in themselves, and is reborn in God as God.

8 Those who do not Love cannot know and perceive God in themselves, because God is this Pure Love.

…

16 We have come to know and perceive the Love that God has in us, and to trust and have full confidence in this, to believe in this, because God is Pure Love. Those who are Present in Love, and continue in that Presence, are in God, and God is in them. They are One.

I live in a gift economy, so I give all of my writing freely to you. I depend on your good will and generosity so that my family and I may live, and so that I may continue to write and share insights as we grow together. If you were inspired by this, if it sparked new insight or understanding in you, I invite you to also give, to participate in "the Gift". I express my deepest gratitude to you for your Gift!
