If truth is love, why are so many people untruthful in the pursuit of love?

Perhaps, It's not in our control, true love is possible only with the grace of God.

Note, that with this line of reasoning, you can say, "truth is possible only with the grace of God", since truth = love. 

And I'm sure that truth, to varying degrees, is a feature of consciousness. For example the truth that "I am" is not subject to any grace from anything. I'm infinitely sure about that I am. No grace needed.

You see why I question this stuff?

No one of you guys, has a deep, authentic, in direct experience rooted explanation of Truth = Love.

You can boil it down to:

Do they think this lie will bring more love.

You may not understand it, especially if there are a lot of distortions in the way, but that's what everything reduces to.

Yes, but I won't apply the same reasoning as "I am" to Love. Metaphysical Love or True Love is the total annihilation of your "self", can you imagine what that could look like? "I am" is one truth but there are deeper layers, maybe?

No one can tell you what love is. You have to be in love and be the love.

It is like trying to explain you the taste of meet or sugar.

Yes, my intention is not to know love via some online forum discussion. My intention is to know why the equation "Love = Truth" exists. And since an equation is intellectual I'm sure someone can derive it to me. I still don't see anyone attempt to explain.

You can not know the path, you have to walk it.
