Brian’s Reflection: Monday, January 5, 2009


True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist.

- Jahan Shah, builder of the Taj Mahal, born
on this day, 1592


This is what “God” is all about. “God” is about finding, “locating”, the place where “true Love” exists. Human beings are superbly brilliant, as is the human brain and heart and “inner spirit”. We discern what we need to Live – and we seek it out, ranging over the Deep Mysteries of Being.

We need, crave, long for Love. Human beings understand – except for the nuts of the World, of which there are alas many, who seem to get the media attention – that only authentic Love makes us happy, and gives us Peace.

This is why Jesus is so compelling – at least as He is “revealed” when you filter out all the nonsense that people surrounded Him with as they sought to establish their own positions of power in the World, especially “the Church”.

People who deeply understand Jesus understand that they are discerning, seeing, the core nature of Love. If we can grasp it, we see that we have found the nature of “true love” where it truly exists. If this were not true, then Christianity is useless nonsense.

A glimpse of “true love” can be found in many places. I know and believe and have experienced that. And I profoundly believe that all the truly “great” religions of the World have such a revelation at their heart. Jesus, His life and teaching, is a superb example. Love exists in the mythological person of Jesus. If this were not so, Christianity would never have survived for 2000 years.

Love is what we need. Do not look for it where it does not exist.
