Nothing which is EXTERNAL-TO-US can come between us and our knowledge of the reconciling, healing, and integrative Love-of-God who is Love. 2. Principalities, angels, powers, domineering- religious-leaders, domineering-political-leaders, bosses, gang-leaders, militants, extremists, coercion, violence, domineering-scientists, domineering-scholars --- cannot stand between us and our knowing and enjoying the Love-of- God whose Essence Is Love. 3. Rules, laws, regulations, commandments, taboos, judgements, prescriptions, proscriptions, arrogance, self-righteousness, pride, pretentiousness, dishonesty, collusions, conspiracies, coercion and violence --- nothing can stand between us and our knowing and enjoying the Love-of-God whose Essence Is Love --- UNLESS WE CHOOSE TO INCORPORATE THEM INTO OURSELVES AS OUR OWN --- PERHAPS IN TRYING TO BE SECURE AND INVULNERABLE BY OURSELVES. It is only when we OWN, POSSESS, CLAIM, CLING-TO, ACCEPT-AS-OUR-OWN, and REFUSE-TO-LET-GO-OF the above mentioned alienative and disintegrative principalities- and-powers --- that we thereby SEPARATE-OURSELVES from our knowledge of the Love-of-God whose Essence-Is-Love.
