When your heart feels skimpy, know that you have let untrue thoughts block it. Anything less than love is untrue. No matter how true-seeming, less than love is a myth. Falsehood can be acted out, but that does not make it true. Anger, for instance, can be described in great detail. It can rush through your veins and seem realer to you than anything, but that does not make it true. It can only be a detour from truth.

Nor is love ever untrue, though many times what you have called love was something else that was less and, therefore, was untrue.

Love does not hold. It releases. Love has no obligation. Love is the platform you stand on, not an emotion. An emotion is a passing thing. Emotion is a physical thing set into motion by a thought or two. Emotions get stopped up in your heart. Your heart is blamed, but significance given to insignificant thoughts is what has made your heart heavy.

Unhand your heart. Your heart is a special fertile ground for love. Plant nothing else there. Weeds are not to grow in your heart. Remove them while they are yet small. Do not encourage their growth. Do not feel justified to encourage weeds in your heart.

But, no matter, whatever stage weeds are in, they are removable. They cannot take over the seeds of love. Nothing can resemble the love in your heart but the love itself, and, always, it is available.

If you have spent much of your life in anger or wistfulness, love is nevertheless still there, ready to go. Fresh love awaits your permission to flourish. Even if you have not felt love in your heart for a long time, it is ready to bloom. It waits for you to tell it when. Tell it the time is now.

One drop of love contains enormous love, unmitigated love, fulsome love, undreamed of love, effulgent love.

And you are ready to give that love now. You may be a like a pianist who has not played the piano in a while. Yet he can sit down and play today as if he had never missed a single day.

Love needs only a signal from you to begin. It needs no signal from outside you.

Begin your love today. Let it stream from your heart. Unbind it.

Love is eternal. Anything else is not.

Love is true because it is eternal.

Everything else but love is temporary, but love never is.

Emotion may be wasted, but love is not an emotion; therefore, it is never wasted. But it is a waste to withhold love.

Love needs no model, because love is the very nature of man's heart.

Let your heart be still, and love will arise.

Let your heart sing its song. It has only one song to call its own. You know the name of the song is Love.

What is the essence of love but love? And what are you but love. And the essence of love is you. Do not store your love. Let it run amok in the world. The world is starving for your love. Declare your love now. Declare it to yourself. You are the one who has to know the contents of your own heart. And you are the one to open it.

After all, if your heart has been closed, you are the one who closed it. You may have taken an errant signal from the world, but it is you who took the signal and followed it. Now you can just as well take a signal from Me to open your heart. I have just given you the signal.
