The concept of a divine, or “Christ” mind, is the idea that, at our core, we are not just identical, but actually the same being. “There is only one begotten Son” doesn’t mean that someone else was it, and we’re not. It means we’re all it. There’s only one of us here.
*Marianne Williamson. A Return to Love

When we speak of freedom, we speak of Love. The return to Love is not, however, first a return to love others or yourself. Love in itself has no object, and that implies the freedom of Love to love freely. So, the return to Love is first a return simply to Love. Only Love can love, so in that humbled self-offering Love finds a place from which to love.
My virginal heart, virgined by You, Grace - one rose petal In a Garden of Love
Lying here alone, a Wind moves upon me, silently I fall into Your Fire
A conception, painful and sweet, "Could this be what I've always yearned for, but had no words to speak?"
A whisper in the glad dark, "Friend, this Fire, the funeral pyre"
Flesh to ashes I've become tonight in this bright Night, Words to spirit, kisses of Light
No wonder, in Here with You I feel so alive!
"Where to go to find your self?" someone asks No where, No I, No we
This death I'd rather have than that life This Life, so secretly concealed from everyone's sight
All seeking ended, I found in being found and We're one touching the Sky
I just heard Something But I dare not say ...
*Brian K. Wilcox, "So Alive"
Love is sufficient of itself; it gives pleasure by itself and because of itself. It is its own merit, its own reward. Love looks for no cause outside itself, no effect beyond itself. Its profit lies in the practice.
*St. Bernard of Clairvaux
