Love is God,
God is Love ...
This is not a new understanding but the ancient knowledge found written by Hesiod in his work Theogony, dating around 730–700 BC, beginning in line 120 in which Eros, Love, known as the God of Love, thus Love itself, is the most powerful of gods ...
...is Ancient Knowledge ...
for this God of Love, this God of Fertility, Sex is the God of Complete Creative Union, the Creator of Life itself overcoming the reluctances of all gods and humans, thus the Supreme God creating through the ever-connecting mingling of two ...
... connecting thru Love...
who was known to the Greeks as " Ἔρος, ὃς κάλλιστος ἐν ἀθανάτοισι θεοῖσι, λυσιμελής, πάντων δὲ θεῶν πάντων τ᾽ ἀνθρώπων δάμναται ἐν στήθεσσι νόον καὶ ἐπίφρονα βουλήν" = "Love, fairest among the deathless gods, who unnerves the limbs and overcomes the mind and wise counsels of all gods and all men within them."
This is Love creating the Universe.
This is Love, the Greatest Existing Power.

ONE
ONEGodSHeIt
God, however you may wish to call It/Her/Him,
IS LOVE
IN WHICH WE ARE ALL ONE,
IN PEACE WITH SELF AND WORLD,
IF WE EACH CHOSE TO CONDUCT OUR SELF.
I have not learnt that which is not.
The Knowledge is not Organized Religion,
nor is Guidance.
There are many, many guidances of the Knowledge to conduct your Self as a connected, Beloved life within our world that are not listed above. There are Guidances from scientists like Hawking, Michio Kaku, Ted Nelson to guidances within books, movies, TV series, to corporations, non-profits, communities, cultures, individuals, animals, weather, and plants, among others, in our world repeating endlessly.
Through these Guidances, Knowledge is connected and intertwingled*.
Guidances are also found within many religions, which are constructed using Knowledge as perceived by those who constructed them. Some of these religious guidances are clear,
others are not so clear.
In most religions, it is known the world cannot not survive as a
singular singularity for it lives in plural singularity**
as do we, the people of the world.
For most religions, it is understood there is not one singular "correct" religious guidance that supersedes all others for all people.
For most religions, it is understood the individual finds the guidance of their own choice, and guidance is simply assistance to understand Knowledge of LOVE.
This choice creates Love.
LOVE creates choice.
Thus, if you quiet your Self, listen to the space between sounds, you will hear to see how to conduct your Self. Then, when you are conducting your Self, you will see to know and know to do.
You will have Guidance.
Peace in Purple.
* "EVERYTHING IS DEEPLY INTERTWINGLED. In an important sense there are no "subjects" at all; there is only all knowledge, since the cross-connections among the myriad topics of this world simply cannot be divided up neatly." -Ted Nelson, Computer LIB/Dream Machines (1974/1987).
** many (plural) singular lives dependent and interdependent upon each other for life. - LyssiSue, The Ladder/The Rungs (2018)
Everything circles back to Oneness ... Singular plurality
Technology advances but we remain the same
Often people say there is a mystery to life.
Life is only as mysterious as we make it for its complexity is its simplicity.
In the human quest to avoid death for fear of death, we have sought to control the world around us. The means of control have changed, but the ancient old fear driving the need for control has not changed. We are no closer to resolving our fear than we are to living eternally. We birth. We love. We kill. We cry. We laugh. We struggle. We succeed. We die. Every living thing on this planet exists in this pattern. Not just us, the humans. Despite this, we still to not see in the world around us, nor the repeated message which is ...
ALL IS CONNECTED.
We humans fight so hard to avoid seeing oneness is life,
All existences are plural singularities within the Singular plurality. There is no alterity (p. 188)
