Complete Surrender...

The reason that I stated that Love is the absence of ego is because of personal experience..

more than forty years ago, I was determined to find and know the Truth of life..

after a few years of meditation, I decided to do the same thing that Gautama did..

I sat beneath a tree and was determined that I would meditate and would not leave this spot until I knew Truth..

I started to feel the ego die and the fear of bodily death that the ego presented to me as a deterent to go further into the mystery of Truth..

I decided that if need be, I would die to know Truth..

As soon as I thought of this decision, I was knocked to the ground with a wave of Love and left the body..

I awakened as Light, Love, and Consciousness..

These Energies seem to flow in a circle throughout eternity..

I knew that I was these three energies and I knew that I had just awakened from the dream called life..

There was no longer an ego-self, there was only the Personality of these three energies..

This is why, I have said that Love is the absence of ego..

Since then, I have learned that there is one more step to travel..

The state of Pure Intelligence, which is established upon surrender of even this Personality of Light, Love, and Consciousness..

Complete Love is Complete Surrender...
