Frank West on The Final Chapter-Love: "Love is the only thing that is real here. Not love as the world understands it, which is romantic or sexual love, or the conditional love that characterizes our special relationships here ('I'll meet your needs as long as you meet mine')-but the Love that abides, that sustains. The Love that lasts forever. Divine love. As the Course says, 'The recognition of God is the recognition of yourself.' Well, if we begin to understand that God is Love-and not a person with a long, white beard enthroned in some remote place we call heaven-then this recognition of ourselves in God, Love, becomes an immense idea. It's really what the Course is about. It's about the process of coming to realize our identity as Love. That's the truth of us. And it's a truth we share with all our brothers and sisters, with everything that lives; everything that is really. As the Course puts it, 'There is no separation of God and His creation.' Our freedom is contained in this realization of Self as Love. And what I really love about the Course is that it promises that we will all eventually reach this place of abiding Love, all awaken to this truth. I'm a lot closer to this happy truth than I was when I first encountered the Course, over a quarter century ago. I'm so much happier now; so much more peaceful. In my book, I share my personal journey towards Love, in the hopes that my experience will serve as a guide in your own journey. And I have confident trust that your particular journey-and the journeys of all your sisters and brothers-will lead you without fail to happiness and peace. To the blessed final chapter-Love."
