“The Soul, by nature, is a very loving, joyful, merry, completely peaceful aspect of yourself. The Soul, by its very nature, has no warlike tendencies whatsoever. It is never envious. It is never weary of well-doing. It is always loving and giving; and it always seeks to find a place of balance.”

“You have all heard of unconditional love… The closest thing upon your earth to that is a mother's love for her babe. To a mother, it is a beautiful creature. It could be homely as sin to others but to the mother, it is a grand and glorious thing. She looks upon her newborn babe, and she revels in its presence. It does not matter if it does not have curly hair or if it has hair at all, or anything. The fact is that it is is reason enough to love it. That is an out- picturing of unconditional love.
Unconditional love does not require an object being loved to meet any particular criteria. The fact that they exist is reason enough for them to be loved… that is unconditional love. It is not saying, ‘I will love you if you do thus and so,’ or ‘I would love you if you looked a certain way’ or ‘I will love you if you accomplished a certain thing.’ Unconditional love says, ‘I love you because you are. Your presence gives me great joy! Just as you are, whatever you do, however you be, I love you any way that you are.’
That is unconditional love. All of you here have felt that kind of love for someone, at some time, somewhere. But none of you here have felt that kind of love for yourselves. You find it easier to love another that way, but, when it comes to looking within, you find yourself sadly lacking. You say, ‘Well I could love myself if I had not done thus and so years back’ or ‘I could love myself if I were a little thinner’ or ‘Beloved Woman's favorite one, ‘If only I were taller’ or ‘I could love myself if I didn't say this and that’ or ‘If I didn't have this and that habit.’ That is always the thought, I could love myself if... when it comes to your internal self. Rarely, do you say to yourself, ‘I love you just as you are: too short, too fat, too this, too that, too anything else... none of this matters when there is unconditional love.
You must practice unconditional love. I want you to concentrate on unconditional love for yourself because it is something that you will have to develop for all people. Unconditional love is the foundation for God love. It is also the foundation for the 7th step in the journey of the soul… that will lead you to be Christ-ed… to become the anointed one.
And then there is all-compassing love. It is more than unconditional love because unconditional love can only be directed and given to a person, an object, a pet, or something, and not to anyone else. All-encompassing love is unconditional love that is boundless. All-encompassing love does not direct itself only to a limited person, or to a limited situation. It is love that reaches beyond all things, pours itself out, and cares not whether love is poured back; for, it knows that in the very giving of love, love is had. The only time that you are truly loved is when you are loving you.
It matters not how much another loves you. If you do not love you, another's love to you is useless, for you do not absorb it. If you absorbed it, you would know self-love. When another loves you and you do not love yourself, you have set up barriers there; and the love they pour out to you, while it feels good for the moment, you do not truly know it because you have not let it in. For example, it is like going to the sea where instead of immersing yourself into the waters, you touch it with your toes or fingers and you say, ‘Behold, I have been to the sea.’ You have not been to the sea. That is what it is like to be loved when you do not allow that love to awaken, within you, your own value
None of you here is comfortable with being loved. Did you know that? You are more comfortable loving someone else than being loved. You find it easier to say,’ I love you’ to someone then to have them tell you ‘I love you’. If someone were to say to you,’ I love you’, you would think, ‘That's nice... if they really knew me, it wouldn't happen. They only love me because they think I'm this way or that way or because I have this or thus and such. But they don't really love me.’ Know you why you think that? Because you do not really love yourselves.
God is constantly telling you that He loves you. He says it through other people, creatures, pets you have, the beautiful days He pours out to you, your experiences that cause you to grow. Through a thousand, thousand ways, every day of your life, God says, ‘I love you.’ You take every one of them, you enjoy them for the moment, and then they are lost to you because you do not internalize it and say: ‘I am loved, and I love me, and I accept myself ffor I am God out pictured.’
All-encompassing love is the most difficult thing for the soul to acquire because in order for the soul to acquire it, the Soul must forget all of the error perceptions that it had taken unto itself from the past. Unconditional love is much easier to be had, for, everyone loves someone at some point unconditionally. You all have experienced that. But all-encompassing love has escaped you thus far. Even those of you who say you love animals, love nature, love this and love that, have little prejudices. You all have people you do not love, or you have people whose ways of doing things you do not like. But, most of all, you do not love who you are and what you do.
There is not one of you here who goes throughout the day without some self-condemning thought. If you do not express it to yourself, then you will do something to get someone else to express it to you.”

"There are places, tombs - places, some of which are long covered over with sand and buried very deep - but in them there are written scrolls. A lot of them have been translated and written in ancient Egypt, Egyptian words and so forth. But all of the Essenes did that. They all sent scrolls to various places of the earth to be hidden. They were a very secretive group. But they did, for the most part, mostly, they cooperated one with the other, especially in things of recorded history and belief systems."
