Chapter 2.
~~~~~~~~ Love ~~~~~~~~~
------------------------------------
We can see that 'consciousness is the 'relationship' between the 'perceived-objects' and the 'perceiving-consciousness' i.e. the 'subject'. The 'perceived-objects' seem to be many, where-as the 'perceiving-consciousness' in comparison to them, looks as if it is only 'one'.
When the objects are pleasing, one finds a chord of relatedness with them. But since the objects are many, this delight in their association always varies, and becomes lesser or more. Then the love of 'pleasurable-objects' itself becomes an 'object'. That is, the relation-ship becomes a desire.
It is what we call 'Love'. The very impersonal nature of 'consciousness' then becomes a habit, and owns an aura of 'personal-sense' around it.
In 'Love', one finds, or rather 'feels/experiences' a sense of gratification. A time-bound association with the object of 'Love', becomes a memory of 'identification', where-in the 'subject' i.e. the 'subjective-aspect' of the 'consciousness' gets apparently united with, merged into the 'feeling' /'experience'. This 'memory' is neither the 'object', nor the 'subject', and never the 'objective' or the 'subjective' consciousness. This memory projects a sense of being a 'person'.
The Mind becomes the victim of this illusion.
So, is 'Love' an activity, or it is the real state of 'being' in 'consciousness', which is 'ever-new'? We can also say it has nothing to do with 'time'. The 'idea' of time makes us believe that such a thing 'exists', and can be used to meet the goals.
This 'time', the psychological-time is thus of course an illusion only, -in memory.
We know there is physical time, i.e. the 'chronological' time, and it applies to the things of purely physical nature. 'Thought' defines it, and only through definition, it gives reality to that 'Time' as a 'concept'.
Time and space/distance are defined and measured in 'thought'. But taking those physical things as real is a grievous error of judgment on the part of the 'Mind'.
Just as 'Thought' defines and measures a physical Time and Space, and the physical objects in them, exactly so, it also 'projects' a sense of 'me' / 'I'.
Then the subjectivity-aspect of 'consciousness' gets attached to this 'Thought'/illusion.
All other 'thoughts' keep continued traffic in mind, where-as this central / core thought is never doubted, and so gradually becomes the strongest one.
The 'consciousness' where all this play occurs, remains unaffected. It reflects its 'Light' in 'objects', 'subject' and in their interplay, without interfering in any way.
The 'consciousness' can be seen as a witness, but then it is 'all' also. Because the 'objects', the 'subject' and their relationship, all happen in the Light of that unaffected witnessing consciousness, which is just pure attention.
Since It lacks any kind of division, to speak of it as a 'witness' or a 'witnessing-consciousness' is again a misleading statement.
This 'consciousness', and its "Light in the Heart of Things", is 'Life', The 'attention',
-The attentiveness.
Inquiring into the truth of the 'I'-Thought, which is in reality a 'projection' of the mind in 'consciousness', opens the doors of attention.
That is "Love" worth its meaning.
Then one is not separate from the EXISTENCE, the LOVE, and the LIFE.
