All You Need is Love


"Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be
done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how
to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time - It's easy."
These are the beginning lyrics to the
song "All You Need is Love"
by the beloved Beatles.Of course, most of
us have heard this some
at one point in our lives, and it was the subject of the first
international television broadcast. When
most people hear this song,
they just hear it as a nice idea but
completely impractical, because
after all you do need more than love to survive. However, people have
no idea what love really is. Love is really the law of the universe.
I am not saying that that planets and the stars are having emotional
encounters and falling in love with one
another, I am saying that
everything is constantly in the state and process of perfect creation.
Love is just the universe happening as it
is happening, being as it is
being, in control and in perfect
equilibrium. Every part of it is the
way it should be, the only way it could
be, and it is perfect creation
constantly unfolding. Love cannot really
be described, only its laws
can be described, and that is what the
song does. There is nothing you
can do that can't be done, nothing you
can see that isn't shown,because
only what is IS, the truth of the
universe is everything that exists.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time, means that
you do not really have control, and all
you have to do is realize it.
The song is about surrendering your
control to God/Truth/Love/Life,
realizing you are a part of everything.
Buddha once said you are already
enlightened but you just don't recognize
it yet. You can recognize it,
by recognizing that love is the universe, and you are subject to
the same laws as everything within it.
Therefore you can let go,
and love will take control. It is always
in control, it is just a
matter of recognizing it, and laying your mind to
rest, laying your burden down.
Love is everything, so all you need is
love.
All together now, everybody!
