There is only God; God is Oneself.

The reason why God is Love is simple really. In the beginning God was not conscious of itself. After God became conscious of itself there followed loneliness. This loneliness gave way for the need for companionship; that is to say the need to love and be loved. God became so enthralled with this need that he became this need itself. Thus God became Love. Now we must replace the word God with Self for it is who we are; this One Self that desires nothing more than to love and be loved. We can thus honor ourselves by loving each other. For we are one in truth; there is only God; God is Oneself.
