John 12:32 Meaning And I

When love is raised up in the mind and no longer hidden beneath fear, it gathers everything to itself by its own nature. Nothing needs to be persuaded or compelled; the lifting up of the truth is enough, for what is truly seen is irresistible, and every wandering thought turns toward it. This is the drawing power of love recognized, a pull that works not by force but by attraction alone.

So the mind does not have to labor to reunite its scattered parts. It has only to let love be lifted above the fear that concealed it, and the gathering happens of itself. What was divided is drawn back into one, not because it is driven, but because it has finally seen what it always belonged to.

All men: every scattered part of the one mind, drawn back into unity by the sight of the love it belongs to

To be lifted from the earth is to raise one's awareness above the evidence of the senses into the feeling of the wish already fulfilled. Earth is the flat report of the eyes; the lifting is the inward rise into a higher state, the mood of already having what was wanted. From that height a person no longer argues with facts. He assumes past them.

What gets drawn are all the details that fill the assumption out. A state held long enough pulls people, meetings, and small coincidences into its orbit like iron to a magnet. Nothing is chased. The elevated conviction gathers its own evidence, and the outer scene rearranges itself to match the one who climbed.
