When you make something, if you are a painter or a writer, a degree, or a sculptor or whatever or a musician, a degree of energy is required to make it, and I'm not sure that it is always aggressive, but when you have a great deal of energy it can appear to be more aggressive than it is.

Our experience of love is more of a measure of whether we're connected with the universal source of this energy. In other words, there's some life energy that we have and sort of share with people we might be relating to that takes place, that operates whether we're sort of feeling in a state of love or not.

They also have tremendous energy, but the more you witness them, the more they will become strong in you; they will overpower you, overwhelm you.

Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos.
