Christopher,
You propose
the following equation, "Freedom is a state of existence while love is an
expression of that state". Because of my great respect for your default
almost an excellent ability to articulate your thoughts, exhibited in many
comments on posts in this blog, I find the equation tantalizing. You suggested
that I wait for you to unpack it in a forthcoming book; however, because I am
tantalized, I could not wait, but set out to unpack it. Accordingly, I next
stated the results, and will then note questions suggested by the result.
Heavenly
Parent stimulates one’s heart (and, I believe that He does it continually),
which is the impulse to give love to the greatest effect imaginable. There are
in innumerable actions that may result from this stimulus, so that one’s “state
of existence” (I prefer the term, ‘condition’) is freedom. Any so resultant
action is an action of love; hence the equation. In the more detail, the
stimulus immediately prompts the desire to so give love, and this emotion is
then channeled by the action upon his of one’s intellect, which evokes one’s
knowledge (one’s reservoir of memories, one’s understanding of present
circumstances, and one’s understanding of laws) and engages in the process of
reasoning upon it. The result is the will to a specific action. In the
determination of the scope of love to be given, whether to part(s) of oneself
or part(s) of the imagined whole, evil forces seek to intervene, tempting one
to narrower scope. That is, if one’s condition has been established as a result
of a sin.
