There are not many separate selves, there is only Oneself.

God binds itself together. Yes, it is true. Yet God is Oneself. There are not many separate selves, there is only Oneself. Oneself binds itself together. Why? The cause is loneliness and the purpose is Love. When it is said that existence was born out of loneliness it actually means that Oneself gave birth to itself out of loneliness so it could experience Love. Indeed, to Love and be Loved; it is the purpose. That's basically all there is to it. This perhaps and the fact that Love is misunderstood for it equates to companionship really. Companionship sounds too long so it is okay to use the word Love instead. It is very simple: Love feels right in every language for good reason; it is the essence of our beingness.
