Thank you both so much for your posts!

Reality is the fruit of love’s embrace.

The statement is not easily understood, much like the admonition to never seethe a baby goat in its mother's milk. (Exd 23:19, Exd 34:26, Deu 14:21), a warning which cannot be reasoned, but instead must be received in the spirit. Likewise, in the above meditation, reason fails but the spirit comprehends.

In the same way, not everyone has the ability to hear Truth:

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [at all]. - John 18:37-38

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43
