Yes, life is lived through stories.  Value the story.  Treasure it, but do not become addicted to it, dependent upon it, lulled by it, deluded by it.  How else could Love express itself, enjoy itself, live itself but through a story?  Stories, lives, serve a purpose.  Through them life is lived, but what is life?  Ah, yes, that is the question.  Could you understand life as love in expression?  Can you understand that you are that?  And that is your salvation, as we tried to tell you in our previous message.  We are not saying that the story is meaningless.  The story holds meaning, gives meaning, is meaningful, but it is not the entirety of you.  Some stories may seem devoid of meaning if you do not understand what gives life to the story.  Love does that.  Love is the foundation of all life, the source of all life, the ground of all being, beyond and beneath the story, and you are all of that!  Now do you understand?  We do not eschew the story.  We simply want you to see there is more to life than the story. Without love, there is no story.
