The old man said to me, imagine son, all the love you felt and the passion you’ve harnessed in your soul and all that you’ve poured of yourself into the loves you once worshiped as goddesses…. Imagine, he said, if you loved yourself with that power, imagine if you loved all people and this world with the unbounded force of love. I thought. Then he said, imagine if everyone alive focused that love force outwardly into this world. For a moment all I could imagine was blinding light. Do this, he said to me, and you will find heaven.
