What are specific examples of love?

The love of God, of truth, of seeing things from a higher perspective always, seeing God calling you to help the person next to you, living next to you, trying with difficulty to speak to you of their need and desire.

Sharing is an example of love, knowing that once the wheel of abundance is actively turned, there is always enough for everyone, always and forever.

Looking inward is love, looking at and correcting unkindnesses, prejudices, hatreds, bigotries, and all the things about self you don't like and prefer not to look at.

And such an inward journey should be accomplished slowly, bit by bit, by working gently and lovingly on one aspect of self every day, and not by attempting to shock or discredit self.

Self is an unfolding phenomenon, not a right or wrong, good or bad, evil or saintly being, but merely an entity at work, a complex of attitudes unfolding and manifesting.

You are all entities at work, and there is much work to do, there is no time for boredom or idle destructiveness, only the continual joy of one truth leading to and illuminating another.
