Connect to love

Connection can never happen without surrender to a power greater than yourself (Love, God, Life, Universe, Source, Spirit, etc.). Without that, who are you connecting to? If you are connecting to other people without first connecting to the Greater Than Self, you are connected only through the disconnectedness/separateness/conditionality of the ego mind — yours and theirs. When you connect to the Greater Than Self first, you can then connect to anyone else in connectedness/union/unconditional love. This is what it means to be complete within yourself in order to be able to truly love someone else.
