“Love is love and the livingness of that must be known before any word can be used to describe it, for the true emanation of love is word-less.” Serge Benhayon Esoteric & Exoteric Philosophy, p 388 “In-truth, and all our hurts and forms of protection aside, it is love that we all want and, under many guises, it is love that we seek most in life. We are that love and hence why we seek it, for in-truth, we seek who we truly are, even if most are doing it unconsciously until such time that the search becomes very conscious and very deliberate via a commitment to being love.” Serge Benhayon An Open Letter to Humanity, p 474 “It is plain and simply ridiculous that we need to dissolve the many versions of what we have perceived 'good' or 'love' to be in order to get to the true Light that Love is.” Serge Benhayon Esoteric & Exoteric Philosophy, p 394 “Love is the living stillness of God, which is found in the inner-heart of every man and woman on Earth.” Serge Benhayon Esoteric & Exoteric Philosophy, p 183 “Love is the essence of all, it is – where we come from, who we really are and what we are made of. It is this love that transcends us into the realms of light and energy for us all to experience the what is and the what is not, for only love knows the difference between the two realms: Therefore, seek love in all you do, feel love in all you do, express yourself in love through all you say – then you will know what is Divine Truth and what is not.” Serge Benhayon Esoteric Teachings and Revelations Volume I, ed 1, p 651 “Love is spherical, it is for all equally: You cannot love one and not another, for if you think you can and or believe that you do, it is not love that you are and therefore, the one you claim to have love for is nothing more than the object of an emotional attachment. ” Serge Benhayon Esoteric Teachings and Revelations Volume I, ed 1, p 668 “Love is a living stillness. It is the emanating quality of the innermost connection that dwells within. To live outside of this, that is, to be disconnected from this living truth, leads to the existing from the mind. Intellectualising love, that is, the emotional false kind and what we assume love to be, is determined by those who pander best and serve our needs. The mind chooses those who serve it best, not those who bring Truth to our being.” Serge Benhayon A Treatise on Consciousness, p 408 “We are here to learn one thing – LOVE. When we learn what it truly is, we will know with energetic precision what our next steps are.” Serge Benhayon Esoteric Teachings and Revelations Volume I, ed 1, p 346

Love has to be one of the most misused and bastardised words around. It is a commonly used or should we say abused word in our language. We talk about love, we write about love, we sing about love, we declare that we love doing and eating things that harm our body and we even kill each other in the name of love.

The absurdity of this situation is that whether we admit it or not, love is something that we all desperately crave and want and yet love is something we ALL already are in essence, despite the fact that we might not be aware of it. For Love is a quality of the Soul, together with its siblings Joy, Truth, Harmony and Stillness and, as such, it is found deep within the inner heart of EVERY human being. When we disconnect from this, we sense a ‘loss’ that then propels us forth on a quest to find the love we think we have ‘lost’. However, we can’t lose something that we are essentially made of, but we can choose to disconnect and not express it. It is this lack of connecting to and expressing love that hurts us and sets up the search for it elsewhere.

To arrive at the true energetic meaning of love as it was divinely impressed, it is first essential to expose the fact that, in truth there is 'not one ounce of emotion in love’ (Serge Benhayon) and therefore, there is no love in emotions.



This may come as a bit of a surprise considering we have been conditioned since we were very young to view love as our favourite and most sought after emotion. However, emotions cannot be love, as emotions by definition mean moving away from our ‘centre’, that is, moving away from the inner-heart where harmony, truth, joy, stillness and true love reside. In order to make a move counter to love, an opposite force is required to lead us away and this is found in the emotions that we choose to express.



So, if we remove passion, desire, intensity, affection, lust as well as other ideals and beliefs from the generally accepted meaning of love, as these are filled with emotions, then what are we truly left with? As emotions take us away from the harmony of our inner-heart, without them wouldn’t we simply remain connected to our inner-heart where love simply IS? As, truly, for love to be true it has to simply BE.



Love is not something we do. We cannot do love, we can only BE love. In that beingness, love expresses forth in its stillness and in that, love is complete. In this way, we cannot own love nor even give it to another, it can only be lived and thus expressed. Its emanation is simply felt and nothing needs to be added to it. It can only BE.

"Love is the beingness of knowing that you are everything already." Serge Benhayon Esoteric Teachings and Revelations Volume I, ed 1, p 685

If we accept that 'Love is the essence of all, it is – where we come from, who we really are, what we are made of …’ (Serge Benhayon), then we can also see that love is in-truth the energy underlying our true essence and the very thing that constantly and untiringly impulses forth our evolution and that of the whole cosmos. It is what constantly impulses us to evolve back to BE the love that we already are, as that is our true nature. It is our innate Divinity and it is what God is.



As Plato states, the only true love is the DIVINE ONE, the unconditional love which inter-connects every single thing and which connects everything to Itself in any possible direction with undeniable and limitless Beauty.

So, have we been served a lie about love and chosen to believe it?

And, how come, despite being fashioned from love, we have decided to ignore or forget that knowing and have accepted a version of love that is not true? How is it that we have come to allow ourselves to be shaped by a ‘love’ that is not love and indeed is its very opposite? In our inner-heart there is only love, a one unified and unifying energy we have disconnected from. In that disconnection we have been fed and accepted surrogates of love (eg. attention or recognition) although we know deeply and naturally what love truly is.



This disconnection is reflected in the origins and different meanings attributed to the word love which is nowadays used to indicate care, friendliness, affection as well as desire, passion and lust. The word love was first used by the Proto-Indo-Europeans as 'leubh' to describe 'care and desire' and was later incorporated into the Old English language as 'lufu' (from the Proto-Germanic 'lubo') to describe 'love, affection, friendliness' and its offspring verb, 'to be very fond of'. The Proto-Germanic root, however, already contained the meaning of love as 'desire and lust'. With a similar meaning, the Latin language used instead the word 'Amorem' seemingly from the verb 'amare' and the Sanskrit 'kamare' the root of which is 'ka' which means 'to desire, to love'. It was used by the Latins to indicate an instinctive and passionate upsurge.



In light of what is outlined above, it is clear that none of the usual definitions of love convey nor honour the magnitude, the power and the simplicity of what love truly is. And thus the word ‘love’ as we use it does not hold up to what love truly is. It is the poor imitation we are sold and willingly purchase when we have forsaken and forgotten how the real thing looks and feels.

Hence, the word love needs to be completely re-understood in meaning and re-imprinted in action, so to reflect in full the divine qualities of stillness, harmony, joy and truth it was meant to convey. And, to do so we have to choose to be love as this is the only way we will be able to reclaim the true power and magnitude of this word and in doing so expose what love is not.

If we live the love that we are, we will not be left to live the ‘love’ that we are not.

"Love is a ‘beholder light.’ It is the emanating quality of the essence that has originated all life. Love itself is an energy or a light which has a specific quality or vibration that is known within the essence of all life, since all life was created by its essence. When correctly expressed it is felt as a beholdment, that is, the one expressing it can contain or behold the light of another within them, however, it will not assume power or authority over the other light, but meet that light by its equal essence – this is what love is and what it does when it is truly expressed." Serge Benhayon A Treatise on Consciousness, p 405
