Although you have interfered in the extension of love, by experiencing delusional parts of your ‘self,’ it is your whole composition and cannot be fully denied no matter how much you inadvertently impede it. The ego-self can distort it, but cannot extinguish it completely, because it comes from a unknown part of consciousness. A part that an ego has NO contact with.
An ego-self must interfere in the experience through its own delusional renditions of “love.” Nevertheless, if you were to make contact with the whole of your composition, you would experience a power beyond egocentric imagination and, hence, the ego would perish. As you probably can attest, the ego-self is a very fragile idea.
Extracting the mind from egocentric expectations and designs is to fully engage your whole composition. Nothing “you” believe is TRUE and this is especially true of your concept of “love.” (of course, its true that everything written here is also false..Ha!). The ego has a concept of “love” and thus, does NOT experience it because love is NON-conceptual. Nevertheless, the ego insists that love be conceptually standardized for consumption and the ego’s love does consume and exhaust you because it is NO different than any other delusional concept IN your world, extremely useless, but that doesn’t stop you from idolizing them. The ego demands "love" be found and so, you fully engage in pursuit of what you will never experience.
Christ Consciousness is fully engaged in the whole of your composition and from that total package all egocentric experiences are radically altered to include everything. This is beyond the egos definition of “love” (although even that is included).
The ego-self must exclude parts of its experience in order to find the love that meets its preferences, judgments and expectations. Therefore, it extends only to what it judges as preferable to it, thereby, excluding all else. But it demands that its expectations be met, otherwise it retracts, excludes and even attacks. The ego can withhold on a moments notice if it determines its expectations are unmet. Egocentric love is highly fragile and capable of instantaneous self-destruction at any time. This makes the ego very vigilant in recognizing when its conditions are unmet, at which time it will vehemently attack the offender. The only thing the ego loves extending is guilt. Egocentric self-concepts cannot love (but they do love to talk about doing so).
Christ Consciousness extends without expectation and has NO preferences requiring any judgmental capacity. Christ Consciousness experiences the world completely free by freeing itself of its own concepts, thereby, dissolving all egocentric conditions superimposed upon a “world.” Christ Consciousness does not recognize the ego’s demand for specific parameters or forms (such as marriage or divorce). It is not bound by bodily or sexual possession or fidelity. The love of Christ Consciousness is not impeded by the body and therefore, has no reason to exclude it (it just tends to overlook it).
The ego’s love must possess. It gives only upon getting and it forms enclaves for which to mark its territory and keep what it possesses within its boundaries. Outside its delusional boundaries it does NOT extend love, but only the indifference born of fear. The ego-self chooses closed systems of preferential enclaves (families, races, religions, states, countries, etc).
Christ Consciousness is infinitely open and, thus, extends without end. It has no parameters or boundaries to which love is restricted or contained. It has no preferential enclaves to include or exclude and it loves in order to set free from conceptual imprisonment, not to bind others to conceptual demands. This is why it can fit NO concept and is conceptually unintelligible and completely confusing to the ego. Therefore, it’s easy to understand why the ego, or “you”…
…fear Christ Consciousness.
But have NO fear. It is the LOVE you’ve been searching for, and will find…
… the moment “you” stop looking.

I loved reading this post. Christ Consciousness is nonconceptual. It does not judge or discriminate. By letting go of all concepts we may open ourselves up to be fully loving.

This is fantastic. Even with the rise of non-duality which addresses these issues, it cannot be said often enough, or harshly enough, the I-me must perish. From where most of us stand, that which lies beyond "I" looks like an abyss which is all the more reason to jump right in. The dream ain't workin' and all the fixing of its structure only strengthens the delusion. How can we live until we die? * this comment is entirely untrue.
