“Love is the most mysterious energy in the whole world. It makes things happen. Love is the very center of all that moves.” - Osho

“A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.” - Thomas Carlyle

“A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth — that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love. I understood how a man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss (…)” - Viktor Frankl (survivor of multiple World War II concentration camps)

“Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.“ - Rumi

“He who seeks love will find it by giving it.” - Lao Russell

“The divinity of any man is the measure of the Light of Love in him. The power of any man is the measure of desire to express his divinity.” - Walter Russell

“What is love? Love is the movement of Knowledge. Or said in other words, love is the Will of God expressing itself through you. Here love is associated with inspiration, where the mind is infused with Spirit, where the mind yields to Spirit, where the mind is directed by Spirit. Sometimes this happens spontaneously. Sometimes this happens at a time when you are extremely disappointed, and you hear something within yourself that provides hope when you feel hopeless.” - M.V. Summers

“Love is not what people really mean when they talk about love in nearly all circumstances. Love is a deeper power that moves people to do things that are different from their ideas, their beliefs and their sense of obligation. Love is something beyond the love you hear about in conversations. In fact, it is better to demonstrate love than to talk about it, for real love is demonstrated. It is what moves people to change their lives, to refocus their priorities, to associate with something deeper and more profound within themselves. It is something that has the power to override human ambition, human selfishness, human grievance, all partisan beliefs and attitudes and religious ideology. For love is not bound by these things. It is only restrained, held back or hidden by these things. Love moves on its own accord, being associated with the deeper Knowledge that God has placed within each person.” - M.V. Summers

“God's universe is based upon the Love which He gives to His universal body as Life - and the Love that His universal body regives to Him as Death for eternal reborning as Life.” - Lao Russell

“No matter what you must do in life, do it joyously. Whatever work it is, put love into it. If you do put love into it, you will find love regiven to you by it.” - Walter and Lao Russell

Honesty, compassion and courage are the tree most important personal traits in climbing - or uniting with - the cosmic mountain of Knowledge, to achieve wisdom. They correspond to: being ready, able and willing - or to: seeing, knowing and acting. In more logical terms, it is the fundamental and recursive pattern of: correct input → coherent processing → desired output.
