Dear all, I would like to share with you these quotes on love, that came from Lester Levenson.
He discovered that love is directly tied to happiness. The more we love, the happier we get.
Love that Lester is talking about in quotes below, is the divine or unconditional love.
Divine or unconditional love is wanting and allowing the other one to be the way the other one wants to be. It has nothing to do with “human love” which is more or less usually just a need for something or someone. We can see that easily because we usually “love more” people who do something for us, and towards those who don’t, we do not experience the same level of love.
But Divine love is experienced equally for everything and everyone.
I hope you will take your time and allow these quotes to resonate with you. Just by reading them you will probably feel a lift.
You can read more about Lester Levenson and his story in an article I published earlier available on this link.
