I knew only one thing – which I have learned well by now: Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance … ‘Set me like a seal upon thy heart, love is as strong as death.'” What is Creator’s perspective?

All of what he says is true and speaks to the heart of the matter quite powerfully. Love, in actuality, is stronger than death because it transcends death. It is the greatest power there is and because you can feel it, can share it with others, and bestow it to the needy, the loveless, the sufferers, you become exalted in the doing because you are spreading God around through loving acts. That is not only the greatest of gifts, but it is the highest attainment possible for a soul-based being, to be living in love and through love, by love and for love—it is love that will conquer evil in the end because it is absence of love that created it. This is the folly of the non-believer who turns away from the idea of God and in the process severs their lifeline—their loveline—they must then live on battery power and it may only take them so far. They might live an entire life that way and do well, but a culture without the divine as a central core in a partnership that is active and requested by the humans themselves will become stagnant and will go into decline, and that is a slippery slope indeed. That was the history of those who ended up overseeing the Holocaust and engineering it to happen. They are atheists, and that is the exact mechanism through which they became loveless and depraved. That is an inevitable consequence when feeling love is impossible and one only has one’s ego and the possibility of enjoyment resting solely on acquiring, maintaining, and exercising personal power over others. It is an inversion of life’s purpose in which the heights of joy become replaced by the heights of depravity, of which the Holocaust is an excellent example and teachable moment about what will happen again in your world through neglecting divine partnership.
