Self was, is, and always will be One without a second.

Before words came into being; there was One's loving feeling. One whispered gently Love, a thousand stars above, a luminous sea below, it set our hearts aglow. So it is. One is Self. There is only One Self. Self is undivided but perceives itself as divided, as separate, for not to be alone. Aloneness is the cause and Love is the purpose. All this for Love, not to be alone. There are no others. All that is here is Oneself desiring Companionship, Friendship, Love. Love is the purpose of Life diversified. Life diversified is Oneself perceiving itself as diversified not to be alone. Surrender to Love. Surrender to Self. Self was, is, and always will be One without a second.
