*Then are we in error in seeking 'Love', or signs of it, in others? Clearly not, for** they know what we mean; but are there lots of loves?

(1) ['2'] Rachel: 'Each love is particular, to the two Spirits within it.'

BUT (2) ['2'] xP: 'Pure Love is indivisible: it falls equally (but not identically) on all the Spirits it encounters.'

(a) I think that the first remark, (1) [above], is undeniable, and the existence of each of those loves is undoubted – to the lover, who experiences it.***

(b) The existence of something called Love which is the unifying idea of these loves**** is as undeniable as the existence of something called Elephant which is the unifying idea of all elephants – both Love and Elephant being inner ideas, the former of an inner object or quality, the latter of an external object or phenomenon.

*[See last previous entry; & [Redbook5:165-170][19880617:1949b]{Inner Truth: Love}[17^th June 1988]ff.]

**['for' in the sense 'since' rather than substantively 'because', presumably; i.e. their knowing what we mean shows that we are not in error in seeking it in them, but does not in itself wholly explain why we should seek Love in others. <20180504>]

***(There are, I guess, 2 loves implied between each pair of lovers.)

****{– Perhaps the approach to True Love is the process of perfecting these 2 loves towards being the same as

(1) each other; &

(2) Love.}
