['2'] statement (2) above* arises experientially – speculatively out of this sort of statement.** It is, however, beyond logic or, I should guess, direct observation, arising perhaps out of intuition.*** Although it implies that Love is a quality with independence, it is not necessarily the case that this re-introduces**** the possible mutual independence of perception and object# applicable to external phenomena: because this is an independence within the Mind, a Mind which may have expanded to 'include' all non-external objects (and ultimately, perhaps, external ones too); a Mind which may may exist at or comprehend or operate on or be linked intimately with levels of existence#* of which we are consciously almost unaware. We are now entering Archetype Country. Take Courage!#**

(Especially if you're thinking of writing anything like that in the New Scientist).#***

*[See last previous statement but 2: [Redbook5:168][19880617:1949g]{Inner Truth: Love [continued (6)]}[17^th June 1988]: 'Pure Love is indivisible: it falls equally (but not identically) on all the Spirits it encounters.']

**[The final para of the last previous entry, presumably.]

***Hence particularly (but not exclusively) suitable for fiction.

****vs. III [[Redbook3:118-131][19870405:1057](BELIEF AND KNOWLEDGE{1})[5th April 1987]ff, &seq, probably] ….

#**[Many years ago I heard from an ex-wine-merchant (who had become my Latin teacher) of what may even have become a legal case: Courage and Strong were two brewery companies. Courage's advertising slogan was “Take Courage!”. Strong, being particularly local to the West Country, put up advertisements on roadsides leading into its area of operations: “You are now entering the Strong Country”. Courage put up signs following the Strong signs along the same roadsides: “Take Courage!” <20180504>]

#***{I think this whole piece [[Redbook5:165-170][19880617:1949b]{Inner Truth: Love}[17^th June 1988]ff.] is rather laboured.}
