Please pardon me for just jumping in here like I am but I have been looking for you.I have never read any mystic book except the bible .there may be some terminology that I don,t know so pardon me if I sound unsophisticated because I suppose I am :I belive emotion is very important to spiritual developement.The word says God is Love.I belive that the highest attainment man can reach is love sence love is God.Gods love is shed abroad in the hearts of belivers and if you say you love God ,yet;hate your naighbor ---you are a liar The new commandment that Jesus gave is love your naighbor as yourself which a part of the commandment is to love your self and of course to love God with all your heart ,mind and strength ,ect is part of it I am convinced that God ,The word and his ultimate will for his followers is LOVE Think about it everything good and pure and wonderful comes from love.The great mystery is this---LOVE.
Please forgive me for intruding but God wanted you to know this
his love in me for you
