'There are several possible attitudes towards

love. You can eat it, you can drink it, and you can

breathe it, but you can also live in it.

Those who eat love remain on the physical

plane and are never fully satisfied because they

are content with pleasures of a lower order. The

pleasures of those who drink love are less crude, but

they are still confined to the delights and satisfactions

of the astral plane. Certain philosophers, writers and

artists, who have managed to reach the mental

plane, breathe love; love is the constant source of

their inspiration. Only those who live in love, in the

subtle, etheric dimension of love, truly possess it.

For them it is light in the mind and warmth in the

heart, and they can pour out that light and warmth

on those around them. Those who live in this love

possess all fullness.'
