This is the perfect example of true love that is always in all ways NOW.
The Zen or Christ Consciousness of Mind does rise in thought, for 'taking' thought removes it from its Temple (Subconscious/Present Moment) where communion and union takes place with its true and eternal Consciousness as Spirit. The Consciousness of Mind is only temporary. It is a Temple for our true Self. Only Spirit Consciousness as Cause - the true I am is eternal. Of course, Effect is also eternal being Spirit also, however the forms it assumes are not. They are temporary. This is why it is important not to identify with any kind of form.
Unfortunately, in our ignorance, we identify with form (Mind/body) forcing us to create thought (thinking) from Mind Consciousness, as opposed to receiving thought from our true and eternal Consciousness, thereby limiting ourselves to the realms of effect (Mental and physical realms). We have in our ignorance forgotten that we are here to reveal life as Cause, not create life as Effect (Mind/body).
Due to our apparent disconnection to ourselves Spiritually, we find we must rely on our smarts, our cunning, our wit and strength of mind and body, if we are to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, in which we harbour an unnatural and insatiable attachment to form though our innate sense of emptiness we feel when cut off from our Source, our Truth.
If the conscious mind is involved in the creation of thought it is no longer capable of receiving the gifts of Spirit, in the same way the epiglottis is not capable of serving the stomach whilst serving the lungs. You cannot receive and create thought as mind at the same time. You are either serving your Spirit by holding a listening ear which equates to a still mind, or your mind that is cut off from its Spirit in the act of 'taking' or 'creating' thought from yourself as Mind. The thoughts of Spiritual Consciousness are concerned with both the individual and the whole knowing thyself as both. Thought conjured up by Mind Consciousness is always personal, concerned only with itself due to being unconscious of itself as the 'Whole'.
If one's attention is in and as the present moment, you are serving the Spiritual Consciousness. If your attention is outside of the Present Moment due to being in your own thoughts, you are serving Mind Consciousness. There is ONLY two places you as Mind Consciousness can be: the reality of the present moment or the unreality of your thoughts. You cannot as Mind Consciousness attend - give attention too anything else. Only these two options.
There is ONLY one reality and that is the present moment. If you are not attending it - if you are not giving your full attention to it - you are in maya - illusion. True Love is being present with someone or simply in the moment. You are true Love when you are the Presence of the Present Moment, asking for nothing while giving everything.
