Theos-Talk Archives (May 2000 Message tt00151)

Dear Peter,

Thankyou.  Yes. Yes. Yes.  Here we sit totally at one with and being loved
to death by this Universe and this unconditional love forces us to face
ourselves and the Twoness becomes the Oneness and the Oneness the Zeroness
and the Total and Unconditioned Love-meister walks once again on this earth.
. . .within all of us.

Love,
Gene
