Turn Love Inside Out

Jim Palmer, author of Divine Nobodies, has a new (I think - or at least new to me) project called Turn Love Inside Out.

From the TLIO site:

"TURN LOVE INSIDE OUT is about harnessing the energies of LOVE. It is an effort to inspire people to use the most transformational power on earth: LOVE.

Consider this:
LOVE is the greatest single need and desire of humankind.
LOVE is the strongest power on earth for affecting every dimension of people’s lives.
LOVE is affirmed as the highest expression of humanity, religion, and spirituality.
LOVE is in abundant supply because all people are created in the image of Perfect Love.
LOVE must first be experienced within yourself before it is adequately expressed to another."

Of particular interest to me was this quote, taken from an interview with Jim on the TLIO blog:

"Jim, typically religious people seek to persuade others to their religion. For example, Christians seek to convert others to Christianity. It sounds like you however, want to convert people to love. Is that fair?

I capitalize the word ‘Love,’ because I view it as Ultimate Reality or God. Love is not some flighty, sentimental, self-focused human emotion. Love is the Creator and Source of all that is real. Humans were made in the image of Love, and so Love is the ground of our being, and our natural inheritance. When someone is awakened to Love, they are awakened to the most transformative reality there is. Its power heals, sets people free, makes whole, and puts one at deep peace and joy. Love is a spiritual reality within ourselves we can turn to in any moment. One way I experience it is a deep knowing that in every moment I am held in unconditional acceptance. When I allow myself to dwell there, all sense of separation from God is extinguished and I experience oneness with God. Free at last! Jesus prayed we would “experience” this oneness, and I am finding that Love is the doorway to it. I enjoy hiking, and often trails are marked by various color streaks on trees – red, blue, green, whatever. Likewise, the trail to God, in God, with God is marked by Love. As I convert the inner experience of Love into a life of being Love, I am one of those trees showing people the path to God, Ultimate Reality, and the only power on earth capable of transforming our inner being.
