A description of the experience
Elbert Hubbard
I think I know what love is for, although I’m not quite sure.
I think love is given us so that we can see a soul. And this soul we see is the highest conception of excellence and truth we can bring forth, this soul is our reflected self.
And from seeing what one soul is, we imagine what all souls may be and thus we reach God, who is the Universal soul
