The energy of love is absolutely neutral. It is neither `good' nor `bad'. We think of love as being all good. It is neutral. It is the `Sword of Cleavage' which is used by the Christ deliberately to stimulate all Beings. It stimulates the good and the bad. It stimulates the selfish and greedy, and at the same time the altruism of others.
It creates a line down the middle so humanity can see where it has to stand, with no blurred edges, just where is the good and where is the evil, where the greed and where the true soul altruism. There are people who pretend to themselves that they are selfless and all for the good of the world. But at the basis of their life they are greedy and selfish. The Sword of Cleavage cuts through this hypocrisy, and shows people in their true light. So we can see clearly that if we go one way, it will make for total disaster. If we go another, it will make for regeneration and a new world.
