Yes, human mind is always caught between these two forces, Love and Death. Love gives birth to new life, nurtures and nourishes it, releases the Ananda inherent in creation and lifts everything towards beauty, harmony and bliss. It is the original creative impulse emerging from the Divine as Creator, a power that leans towards the Abyss to open the divine possibilities held back within it.
On the other side and as if opposing it is Death, the Inconscience drawing everything back into itself, a force of blind destruction denying life, denying growth, denying evolution, denying joy, a force of disintegration denying harmony and order.
Earthly life has always been caught between these two mutually opposing forces. So far the force of eventual disintegration seems to have won and hence its memory and power is strongly imprinted upon the human mind. Yet each destruction has almost always brought down upon earth a greater power of Love. Hence despite the challenge posed by Death life has grown and become richer, more complex and capable of manifesting something new.
Hopefully in this cycle we may see the end of Death and the ultimate victory of Love which is perhaps the reason for the excessive preoccupation of the human mind with both these forces, Love and Death. This last battle is being fought within us and depending upon what we chose or are preoccupied with, we shall be on one side or the other.
Affectionately,
