Unless otherwise defined we will use the normal dictionary definitions in this class. However, for some words, as we did with the words "Principle" and "Law," we may create a more specific definition to facilitate communication.

For instance one students' dictionary defines the word "Principle" as "a basic truth." That is in alignment with our discussion of principles, but it is not complete enough for us. Thus we sought for a more exact definition to use in our discussions.

As far as my laying claim to truths, I have made no claim of ownership on any truths. If one teaches that the world is round that does not mean the teacher is claiming to own the world. If one teaches about the creation of the universe this does not mean the teacher lays claim to all of creation. There is no such thing as anyone owning truth. One can be the first, second or third within a group or race to present it, but I have not heard even the largest of egos making claim to owning truth.

As a teacher I take responsibility for my words which are put together in unique fashion as are yours.

The question we are presently considering is:

"If all things in creation originate from the principles in Purpose/Decision then where did the principle of Love come from and what is it? If you had to describe love by writing the Law of Love what would you write?"

In other words, what would you say the primary Law of Love is?

To this we have had some interesting responses among which are:

Rapter (Keith):

"Thus, the principle of love is based upon a universal law which is, God's reflection is inherent in all universal bodies and this reflection causes all bodies to choose or decide (through free will) whether to reflect or not to reflect. The bodies which decide to reflect are light bodies who necessarily attract one another. This is the law of love in action!"

Adrian:

"Normally when one states that you love someone, or a group, one is in fact saying one feels an attachment to the one or the group. Surely love is not to be attached, i.e. to give freedom, and in giving freedom one allows decision, even if decisions made, go against what one would want for yourself."

Samu:

"'The Molecular Relationship,' Chapter 2: 'Good is a distorted reflection of Love and evil is a distorted reflection and misuse of Light.' In a way this sounds like good would be a lower octave of love. It is easy to see the difference between light and evil, but I am wondering about the difference between good and love... Is 'good' something that keeps things in 'being,' and love something that promotes 'becoming'?"

JJ then responds with:

Interesting thought Samu. Going back to the beginning we have the Purpose of God manifesting as the dualities which are magnetism (love) and radiation (light). All dualities correspond to this original duality. Magnetism cannot exist unless there is more than one of something to draw to itself; radiation or light, could not exist unless there was more than the one to be revealed. It is as Alice A. Bailey said: "Both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God."

Will, which is closely related to Purpose, lies beyond the dualities as we understand them. Purpose was before Love and Light, but the manifestation of Love and the joy of Light is the reason all things came into being.

What is the primary Law of Love? The key word is magnetism. The basic law could be worded as:

"Magnetic force originates from a center that draws all things in the periphery to itself. Wherever there are two or more creations of God there will exist a magnetic force (or essential Love) which draws them together toward unity."

Hence the attraction of the Sun to the earth is an aspect of Love as is the earth toward the moon.

But isn't Love supposed to be warm and fuzzy? Magnetism seems like such a lifeless word. Not when you consider that Life dwells with all things. When the earth responds to the gravity or magnetic power of the Sun, it feels a pull through the power of Love within it's own consciousness just as you may through the attraction you have to a member of the opposite sex.

The more vehicles in another that you feel the magnetic pull from the more you will love. Many think they are in love when they find themselves attracted to the beautiful physical body of another. But this same person will find himself even more in love and experiencing greater magnetic pull when the attraction extends to the emotional body and he wants to be close to those warm emotional feelings.

This attraction becomes greater still when one becomes infatuated with the mind of another. Maybe they share the same beliefs and ideas and the magnetic attraction now extends to three bodies of energy.

Finally when two people communicate from soul-to-soul there are spiritual feelings generated and a fourth pull, which is toward the spiritual, begins to surface.

The more spheres of relationship available to magnetic pull the greater the manifestation of Love.

Love exists in all spheres and in all kingdoms, but manifests differently in the human kingdom because as a self conscious unit the human experiences an interplay between love and consciousness which creates feelings of peace and joy.

Love manifesting through consciousness produces the Dominating Good in the universe, and gives impulse to all evolution.

Now let us move toward Light.

What is the principle behind Light and name a law associated with it.
