\nfrom Era of Great Benefit
\n<\/span>When we commit to love of self, we commit to the Age of Human Empowerment and Era of Great Benefit. Each moment we rely on open intelligence, we rely on perfect love itself, and by relying on perfect love itself we bring love to the world. This is what the Era of Great Benefit truly is – living from love and from perfect love-relating in all relationships.
