2.3 - Postulate 2

Love is defined as an ageless or eternal selfless state which is intrinsically not exclusive.⁴ This is very important: Love is intrinsically non-exclusive. It reaffirms the concept of 'the whole'. There cannot be anything other than this inclusive Oneness because if there is, it is included. This postulate brings in the secondary aspect or attribute of the divine: its intrinsic wholeness. God's Will actualizes in Love, and Love's Absolute Ability to be whole.

This concept of Eternal Love and inclusive wholeness presents an underlying theme; which will be carried through the rest of this work. Even though -- through our perceptions -- there will appear to be a fracture of the wholeness, patterns will be seen to form. Whatever pieces or elements we find must fit into the whole logic pattern.

This chapter is establishing a Source, then to source of what, into a pattern of manifestation. The student will apply the rest of this work/book if they just sit in Absolute Love. They do not have to know the rest of the book if they work with this Absolute Love. The concept of Love gives the student something to constantly fall back on. Again, this concept is not new; it is thousands of years old.

Putting Theorem 2 from the first postulate together with the second postulate, the result is:

Theorem 2 -- Given: God and Eternity are One.

Postulate 2 -- Given: God's Will actualizes as an Eternal Love.

Now that this last statement has been made, it follows:

Plus the corollaries:

And its counterpart:

Theorem 4A says Eternity and Love are One. Furthermore, the obverse of these concepts: that which is not Love is not God, and that which is not Love is not Eternal. These obverses will become more important later as we cover the last postulate and theorems.

Up to this point we have Absolute Will conjoined with an Absolute Love. The definitions, and the postulates with their theorems, present an Absolute ability that is all-inclusive. We are dealing with a fundamental unity, and the terms 'inclusion' and 'exclusion' are not relevant. It does become relevant when there appears to be a fragmentation of that unity. As stated earlier, a further examination of that apparent fragmentation will reveal the underlying unity.

It can be said, from the two postulates and their theorems, that Love is outside all spatial/temporal references, just as Will is. This sure puts a cramp in romantic poetry.⁵
