NATURAL THEOLOGY
NATURAL THEOLOGY
Our self-love does not wholly satisfy. That is because we "know" that we did not create ourselves. We "know" that there is a greater, more capacious Creator-love, than mere self-love--essential as self-love is to all sound mental health. That universal eternal love is divine, the love of God (however known or named!) to which we are all privy with all the rest of life. That is the same love of God, which cannot be "known" cognitively, nor held in hand materially; but which is felt sensually: that love may best be expressed and experienced spiritually, empathetically.
