This Week’s Quotation:
The body of love is a stone cut out without hands. Think of the way love is embodied in your own life—the love you share with those closest to you, or the love you share with the community of people that is around you. If you truly experience a body of love with other people, it was not created out of any kind of manipulation. A body of real love shared by people is built in one way, and one way only—through the clear expression of love over time. The wonder of love creates it. It is like a stone cut out without hands.
~ Becoming a Sun p. 265
The Body of Love
It sounds so simple, doesn’t it? To offer a clear expression of love over time.
And the only way to build a body of love is to offer a clear expression of love over time. A body of love would seem to rightly be composed of love. All love, and nothing but love.
Putting love into the crucible of life consistently builds a body of love through the wonder of love. Not by any human concepts of how it should be. But by the wonder of love. It simply is.
Love is not a commodity for humans to buy and sell, or to shape according to their perceived visions or needs. It is a powerful force that blesses us with mystical encounters, with warming healing, with beauty and awe.
Let us let this force move through us to flow into the crucible of life, to take on its own nature in our lives, through its own means. Let us trust in the wisdom of Source, and let it be simple as we remove ourselves from trying to overwrite the design of Love, Truth, and Life.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.

What a wonderful way to put it ” a body of love over time” . If you consistently put money in the bank, it not only increases arithmetically, but interest is also accrued and what was small soon becomes large. Why would it not be the same with love if consistently expressed. It becomes a BODY of love which includes the “interest” and total number of “deposits” so to speak. I value David’s and your thinking and your love, Maria. Mine to you and to all who read this. And I strongly recommend all on-line courses, publications, and opportunities, expressed on this site.

Thank you, Maria, for your wonderful admonition: we are not here to tamper with Love and try to use it to achieve human-ego-based wants and desires. You put it so well with these words: “Let us trust in the wisdom of Source, and let it be simple as we remove ourselves from trying to overwrite the design of Love, Truth, and Life.” May the natural design of Love, Truth and Life have its way in my life and in the life of the Sunrise community that I am so privileged to be a part of.
As so beautifully said by all Dear Hearts – ‘Let us trust in the wisdom of Source, and let it be simple as we remove ourselves from trying to overwrite the design of Love, Truth, and Life.”
Wow! This is exactly what I have been working on in my life the last few weeks! Generating and creating a new experience a new level to the love in my life with the people that i care deeply about but have never been able to speak to in a way that could express the depths of my love for them and the depths of the love that has always been present between
myself and god. I am letting go now to this incredible love available for all of us to share in. Thank-you so much for these profound and heartfelt words that bring forth the best qualities of all of us!
