For love God and the world are opposed, you love one of the two and neglect the other.
Above all love
A hidden inheritance
- of Francesco Arista and Antonella Molica
Argument
- → The fundamental, basic choice is to know the truth.
- → Awareness is the fruit of wanting to know the truth.
- → Whoever does not conceive and chose the absolute truth cannot know and love it.
- → I am the absolute, the unlimited, the eternal, the pure spirit, the true being.
- → At any time you can choose between me and the temporary, the evanescent, the ambiguous, the material.
- → The unaware does not know that he must and can choose, he believes that life is his delusion in the domain of death and for fear of suffering and dying he loses sight of his immortal nature.
- → The fundamental choice is in the present, not about the acts of the past or what has to happen.
