The Underlying Fabric is Love: Marc Gafni

God is both erotically within me and beyond me at the selfsame moment. Touching and not touching. The intimacy of shared identity without losing the integrity of individuality. Two solitudes that share in a sublime moment of Sameness.
This is the first intimation of union and the beginning of all self-love. This is the great audacious mystical certainty that underlies every great religion, even if its contemporary leaders have long forgotten its wisdom.

The world is not a dead end material universe where separate entities constantly collide and explode, where all is accident and chance fated for meaningless destruction. It is not, in Shakespeare’s pathos-filled phrase, “…a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Instead, it is an infinitely conscious, integrated whole whose underlying fabric is love.
