Original love is love from the origin or Source, and as such transcends any limitations of time or space. It is love that has always been here and always will be here, love that is timeless and whole.
Glenn Aparicio Parry tells a story of how love, humanity, nature, and consciousness coevolved. In archaic times, we were one with Mother Earth, immersed in love; then we separated from Mother Earth’s womb. In the magical and mythical eras that followed, we developed ceremonies and stories to recapture a feeling of oneness. Modern rational thought enabled great scientific advancement, but is less relational, more abstract – not an immersion into the heart of nature.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe with the capacity to integrate the wisdom of the ages, including the feminine and Indigenous wisdom that was pushed aside in our relentless pursuit of progress.
