God is love and love is the core of evolution; so too, love is God, and God is the core of evolution. Through billions of years with billions of violent events – cosmic cataclysms, massive explosions, biological extinctions, war, cannibalism, tornadoes, earthquakes, death –divine love has persevered without perishing because divine love can never be extinguished. Love pushes through what appears to be dead and breathes it into new life. Love forever seeks more union, more being, and more consciousness. That is why humanity has no real future and cannot evolve without returning to love at the core of its being. The law of progress and the law of love must be joined together for the future of earthly life.
