“Universal” Love. Whazzat?

July 7, 2025 by Steve Beckow

I chuckle whenever I hear the phrase “universal love.”

Is there any other kind of love than universal? What is that “love” if it’s not universal?

If it isn’t universal, as far as I’m aware, then it ain’t love. It may be a hundred other things, but not love.

And if it was love, you and I wouldn’t be having this discussion together. You’d know precisely what I mean, what I’m pointing at. Ha ha ha, you’d say, totally revealing yourself in the moment.

When we say “universal love,” what are we intending to say?

Well, the love I’m pointing at Archangel Michael has identified as Seventh Dimensional:

Steve: The space that I call transformative love, what dimension is it?

Archangel Michael: It is the seventh dimension. (1)

I assume we’ll experience it in the Fifth Dimension as well, but, unfortunately, I’ve had no experience identified as Fifth Dimensional. So this love is at least higher dimensional.

I think what we’re saying is “I love you with the depth and intensity that I love when I let my guard completely down and am totally committed to telling you who I am in everything I say and do.”

If we’re committed to going ever further in how loving we intend to be, hey, close the book on us. In my books, we don’t need “fixing” after that.

If we haven’t reached what we mean by “universal” love as a result of making our commitment, I’d think we would reach it by the shortest route thereafter.

As we get happier, I anticipate our relationships sorting themselves out, and life picking up on all fronts. Love does that. Real, true, OK, universal love.

The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.
(The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/.)

Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.

Archangel Gaia said
“I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.
“You do not have to change the people around you; you do not have to get involved in politics, or that kind of activity.
“What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”
