Theos-Talk Archives (September 2001 Message tt00288)

I have to elucidate on 'The Lord of Love'? How can I do this? You feel Him
in your heart. There is no chemical who can help a person having a direct
experience of Love. Using drugs and chemicals for medical reasons under the
guidance of an expert, are something all together different then those
sharlatans who sell 'spiritual experiences' for the naive folks who are
looking for short cuts. The great Masters, who serve the Lord of Love (funny
you added the ' ' , quite interesting, as well as revealing), never
prescribe cheap, quick shortcuts. Their way is hard work, sacrifice and
love. May all of us have the good fortune of coming under the guidance of a
Real Master. Best wishes. Etzion
