unless love had the built-in self-defense

   Blessed hearts, unless love had the built-in self-defense of its own self-preservaion the fallen ones would long ago have swallowed it up.  But it was not to be; and it could not be; and it cannot.  For you see, the ruby ray itself is the eesential, I say, essential element of love whereby all anti-love as hatred is turned in upon itself and self-consumed.    
  Therefore by the right hand of Serapis I send the ruby ray as radiating light, as the corona of this sphere of Our causal body, even the causal body of the Great White Brotherhood!  Enter into Our love and realize the protection of love as the ruby ray siddhi that goeth forth.  Siddhi!  Thus fearlessness flame is born of the ruby ray.

A love that is love at all has the courage to be!
It has the courage to be/ Else it is self-denied.
A love that is worthy of the name
Claims this hallowed ground for love
And will not retreat.
A love that is worthy of life
Holds the line of Life itself
And does not permit death to enter
Nor death's vibration to steal in the night
Within the garden of God.

Love that is worthy of the name
Will have none other
Save the fullest expresion of Being---
Will not withhold the full flowering
Of the calla lily.
Love that is love will give
The biggest, the best, the mostest
And even the rest/ Of all that is blest
Of the good things of life.

Love that is real is the full opening of the heart
And the giving of self fearlessly in love!...

  The envy of love produces the hatred of love....And in your giving be the healing of all life.
