Every impulse can be traced back to our deep need for love. Your awareness knows this; it knows this even when the cloak of turmoil hovers over the truth. the conditions that turn consciousness toward love are simple.

Giving love to others and receiving it back.
Sitting alone in your own silence.
Immersing yourself in natural beauty.
Making art and appreciating art in all its forms.
Telling the truth, whatever the consequences.
Laughing, dancing, playing with a child.
Having an outlet for joy.
Communing with deep emotions.
Acting out of kindness and compassion.
Bonding, feeling at one with a group whose goals are positive.
Offering yourself in service.
