Recognition - Acceptance

"Eric Butterworth writes:  "True love is a peculiar kind of insight through which we see the wholeness which the person is - at the same time totally accepting the level on which he now expresses himself - without any delusion that the potential is a present reality.  True love accepts the person who now is without qualifications, but with a sincere and unwavering commitment to help him to achieve his goals of self-unfoldment - which we may see better than he does."
