“Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell’s despair.” ~ William Blake
Love intensifies all things. It is the presence of presences; its absence is hatred. All that is consistent with its spirit is drawn nigh unto it. All that conflicts with it is discomfited, if not repelled by its presence.
Love is not something you find, it is the core of what you are. You needn’t look for love, in fact, if you’re looking for it you’re already on the wrong track. When you radiate love into the world around you that which is meant to be close is attracted to you.
Love moves forth intelligently. It is never blind, neither is it random. Love is purposeful, dynamic and expansive. Love is the power which animates the universe. There is but one power.
The way that power is put to use as it differentiates out into every level of organization determines the nature of that which is created. As such, everything that has ever happened did so because of its power, even if it is not done according to its will.
Love’s will bent is the source of hell. Love’s will kept is the the reverberation of that which is higher in that which is lower. Love’s will is eternal progress and perfect love casts out all fear, for hatred destroys itself once its stolen power – the power of love – is spent.
Gregory Hake 
It is interesting to look up the word,”will,”in the dictionary. There is one reference that relaties to,”with a will,” that states with willingness and pleasure, with all one’s heart. Your words urge a passion to being so filled with pleasure, and willingness and with all my heart to do the will of love. Thank you.

Obviously Love cannot be entirely defined or contained, and yet your words provide a wonderful summary.
“Is this feeling, this thought, this action consistent with the wonder of love?” Answering this question honestly at any point is a simple way to begin the process of alignment with the will of love. Consistent in its spontenaiety and eternal freshness, ever expanding and always creative, here is the source of all that matters or ever will.

What an amazIng way to describe the way love actually works and actually is. We must never forget that we are using the power of love, regardless of what we are doing, and that we must never use it for something against its nature. The proper use of love is the path to the righting of the world. The improper use of love is the path to the world’s destruction. The choice is ours of which way we will use it, and we make the choice in every moment.

Beautiful! Well it is apparent that the world doesn’t need more love we need to learn how to use it. When I feel disconnected from love I’ve realized that focusing my heart and mind on appreciation for this precious life can instantly change and charge me. Learning how to use the power of love to bless and ease is as close as my next thought and as simple as carefully choosing my next attitude. I found judgement is one of the disrupters of my connection to the healing flow of love. I love this poem it shows the neutrality of the power. Thanks for your thoughts today.

Love has been so misunderstood. What a delight to read your clear strong description of it. Power is power whether used to construct or destruct and there lies the answer to the question of how to live a fulfilled and joyous life. Thank you.
