****** WOW: Tolstoy on God: "To forget about God means to forget about the one who is always inside you." (more)
People sometimes ask, “Have you forgotten
about God?” This is a good question. To forget
about God means to forget about the one who
is always inside you. To remember God — and
to do this not only through words but also by
constantly remembering that God lives in us —
is truly a great thing.
From Tostoy's "Wise Thoughts for Every Day," See Libray Tab.

That Loving in charge is the Only Sanity; all else being Insanity - deadly to one's self, and ultimately fatal to all humanity, EXACTLY as, and in the same way as is the cancer destroying my body - unmalicious selfishness - history's greatest killer, by far. By far...;
That Loving is the ENTIRE Gospel. FULL STOP.
That Loving is the universal, certain, complete, absolute cure for all psychological ills.
That all of the above is True because of the actual 'shape,' the actual DNA-given, epigenetic characteristics and tendency of our nervous system, and hence of the basic psychological 'world' we are pre-disposed to inhabit; though yes, this world can totally be crippled, mutated, mutilated into many other lesser things. Look around you.
Many, many, many have come close in all of the above - (see Library [here and here, and tabs above for all the Giant's Shoulders I Stand on, and without which I've not have contributed my part]; but I know of no one that has seen, and spoken, and lived, this simple truth (ZERO CREDIT TO ME!!!] - that our psychological capacity for Loving as the Ultimate Reward, Joy, Heaven, the Kingdom, Nirvana (by whatever names, or no names at all), that it is our Ultimate and Only Hope, and that unleashing a mass epidemic of Universal Loving (Loving IS Universal, or it is NOT Loving) is the Only Hope now to avert Ecocide, the extinguishing of all decent life on earth, forever.'
