What is for you the concept of LOVE?

[Ashatav]

for me, love (that's with capital letters) is the desire to make good to others


:d:d:d:d

cheers!

[Jadde44]

to me love is impossible to explain in human words.

[KassandraLoves]

to me love is impossible to explain in human words.

i agree. that would be like trying to explain the color green to someone who has been blind thier whole life.

it may be possibly in another density or level (telepathically?) but not here thats for sure.

you must feel love, not try to explain it or see it or touch it or hear it. it is beyond our "commonly accepted" earthly "senses."

[mellisamouse]

love to me, is to ......

not infringe on the free will of others...

help others love them selves....

hugs and snuggles....

smiles and giggles....

a pat on the back once and awhile....

respect.

truth.

freedom.

:) love ya! xoxoxooxoxox

[DJDeeZe]

for me, love is both the feeling of deep appreciation and genuine concern for all things.

love love! :)

**love is the universal glue that holds everything together**

[Rhonda]

for me, love (that's with capital letters) is the desire to make good to others

from a april post.

a few years ago, i read this from a wonderful book while searching for what spoke to me on love. i hope you enjoy. from star man: (not the book) pm for name

screaming hawk, patton boyle (shamanic warrior and christian converge)

i did not believe that god is love. how can one love an organizing force, a power? perhaps god was more than a force or power in the universe.

you think love is something that it is not. you identify love with your feelings. because of that you think love is a feeling. it is not.

you do not understand that love is commitment. that love is profound commitment not with the mind but with the heart. you do not love with the mind. you love with the heart, but you do not feel with the heart. love is on a deeper level than feelings.

you can not always detect it with your feelings. that has caused much confusion for your people. they think that they must feel something when love is encountered. sometimes they do. sometimes they do not. your people do not understand that love is a dimension like time or space. it is what is. love is what is. it is behind all creation. creation came forth out of that dimension. creation expresses love but is not itself love; it is love put into action.

"love is what is". love is the deepest dimension. you do not create it.
because you feel things that you associate with love, you think that it is your
love. you can not create love within yourself. you can create some things but you can not create love. in its purest form it is encountered on the level of silence. beneath matter and energy and all things that can be encountered in physical or spiritual realm is love. love is the basic element behind all that is.

when love comes in its purest form people do not recognize it because they are expecting it to be something else. you want love to make you feel good. sometimes it does; sometimes it doesn't. you want love to make you feel good about yourself; but sometimes it reveals things that you do not like about yourself. love always draws one back, into deeper levels of oneself, towards one's beginnings or onward, into new areas, towards one's end. love is the beginning and the end. love is the essence out of which all things come and towards which all things go. it is the elemental essence of the universe. as you encounter it you are changed; you must be changed; for love is constantly in transition and yet always the same.

remember the words. but remember also that the truth is not in the words themselves it is in he silence between the words. in the silence love speaks.

re-member, you are already love, so is everyone else you encounter. life and our experiences challenge us to or from love, but we are all love.

peace and good will to all !

ps: star man is jesus in the book....

[DivinePeace]

love to me is the satisfaction of not knowing. in other words, being satisfied with not knowing anything. i think love comes when oneself realizes that they know nothing and cannot know anything.

[alan180563]

hi folks

rhonda's post reminded me of something i scribbled down a little while ago which i've now expanded on & goes like this:

"in the beginning there was love and love wished to experience itself. from the light of love sprang forth the lack of the light of love, the dark, thus duality was created giving rise to all experience and expression of love."

just my thoughts. :d

dw and ls in their 'there's only one of us here' audio blog describe love as acceptance of all that is or something along those lines if i've remembered correctly. :)

onwards & upwards
alan

[atlantianferret]

this is difficult since we are confining it to words. it is tempting to describe it as a feeling. in my experience, it is more a state of being or conciseness. i experience it at moments when i feel part of something or one with the existence. like a connection exchanging and radiating.

example for me is the other day i was watching some people outside and for not apparent reason i just felt connected with them. like the ground, air, and everything else were all synced or one. it was love. but the experience passed as soon as i was aware of it and start to think on it.

i think is truth or like truth in that it is ever changing with the now and at moments that we drop our ego, our mind, we can experience it.

[checkmate]

my concept of love it that it should be "unconditional". it must come from the heart and be unselfish in nature. it should lift you to share this personal emotion with anyone, even those who reject it or don't reciprocate.

[One 66]

for me, love is that which is the only thing that is real... i experienced it and awknowledged it for the first time ever back in the year 1999 during my awakening. since then, i know it to be the only thing that is real... and no words, thoughts, ideas or concepts can ever explain that which it really is...

one 66

[1VibrationalEnergy]

love is you. love is always. love is fear. love is nothing. base consciousness on love and love just is.

love is how the cosmos move because we change and evolve with it.

self love is experiencing life in your own universe.
saying i love you to another is letting them feel your life through love.

[johnasmodeus]

personally, i'm quite sick of hearing about love. it's such an overdone concept. it's too easy, and all too often understood only in second-chakra terms. patience and tolerance, i feel, are more desirable virtues than love today, since everybody seems to misunderstand the word anyway.

[Magical_Mongoose]

balance through joy, reciprocity and acceptance.

[dazcox]

making love and loving cake
are all part of the plan
it's the positive flow of energy
that can be chosen by each man

love is not a finite thing
that hate can take away
and hating hate does not equate
to creating love in any way

when sides are drawn
do not be torn
to love some people less
for they are you
and what you do
affects all the rest

so what is love?
it's what you do
when you appreciate
each moment on this mortal coil
before you dissipate

but don't be fooled
by thinking that
some love's 'purer' than the rest
or that romantic love is far above
loving eating a chicken breast

for love is love, like digital
it's either off or on
the simplest thing in the world
but the reason we were born

so love what you do and all that you meet
and everything that you possibly can.
don't feel guilty for pleasures
or desiring treasures
as this world is a funhouse for man

but if your life is a terrible thing
and in bondage your future is locked
remember that you always have the choice
to love yourself if that's all that you've got....

[PamelaK]

i think love in it's purest form is seem when a woman goes through the hours of pain in labor and when that baby comes into the world and you hold your little one for the first time and look into those beautiful eyes that look back at you, that is love.:)

[mawk109]

hi all,

"love" might be defined as the phenomenon of radiating light unconditionally:-)

maybe that is why enlightened beings resonnated with ra, the sun god? if "god" were defined as "all that is"; given ra's perspective, it may be a little easier to know that all is one:-)

yours glowing,

mawk

[larissa]

the concept of love is an illusion because concepts are ideas, not the real thing. the concept of love has led to suffering because of the expectations it arouses. the birth of the baby which aroused such love feelings is now a memory, where is that feeling now? a memory is an idea, a concept, not the real thing.

the closest i've come to love is a couple of cosmic experiences of oneness with the universe i experienced as a child and later had other such experiences from different situations. but those also are now memory. where is that love now?

i don't want concepts anymore, i want the real thing. i've come to understand that love is not a feeling, because feelings come and go and can cause suffering.

i found this explanation of love in the law of one:

love may be seen as the type of energy of an extremely high order which causes intelligent energy to be formed from the potential of intelligent infinity in a particular way. all love emanates from the oneness. (b2, s27, 8)

i have no idea what that means. however, i now have what i think is the experience of love or something close to it. it's the emptiness of the moment, the now, a neutral state that's not good, not bad, has no feeling but is infinitely satisfying. not even that. it just is.

and i go on as before, with all my personality quirks, my likes, my dislikes, my ups and downs, experiencing everything that comes along. la la la. i don't have to stay in the guilt or the regret or the resentment or the whatever, because none of it matters. i'll get into momentary panic when i get sucked into the maelstrom of the fear movement, but then pull back and laugh at it all. none of it matters!!

not getting sucked in is important. ra did say that wanderers are in danger of getting caught up in this reality and forget who they are and what they came for. i guess i forgot. oh well, it doesn't matter.

i interpret ra saying this:

the feeling/energy/thought creation/whatever you call it, of "love," is based in the connection we feel with another life form, be it plant, animal, person, etc.
that connection (even though it may be small in comparison to the real oneness) reminds us of oneness. it re-kindles that feeling of connection. the feeling of love actually conquers, in a way, the distortion of seperation. and when we can set the "we are seperate" notion aside for just a minute, we get a little glimpse into the big picture of true connection....and thats what love is.

we may see it in a lot of beings throughout our lives, we may see it in very few, but when the love is there, it is holding hands with the truth that we are connected in every way. thats why the emotion is so strong.

...now imagine what it feels like to be on a plane where the distortion of seperation is non-existant!!! it'd be like love x 1,000,000!

[leo scone]

love is that which one is grateful for.

have gratitude for all, then all is love.

this is exactly what i've been seeing...think of water being spreadout in little individual drops. imagine them charged with love...and begin to move and bump into each other. as they do, they merge into one larger drop of water...this is how i think our consciousness works. as more and more people focus on peace and begin to awake up to what has been going on...this process will accelerate very quickly...water seems to play a great part in this whole drama that is life.

peace, love, and unity

greetings all,

this is my first post here. i am wondering about the deeper aspects of loving another person wholly and unconditionally. how and why it happens. the kind of love that is not by choice and even remains when you desire it to go away.

what are your thoughts? destiny? a connection arranged by the creator? perhaps the person of your affection is the other half of your soul?

[StarGirl]

i once had a dream:

in it, a female voice told me, "many people think love is the most powerful force in the universe.. it is not, it is compassion. for compassion is love in action."

i also wondered at the nature of love as to movement. love only exists as it moves from one to another... even when you love yourself, you can feel the movement. movement only exists relative to something else, otherwise how do you know movement ocurred? perhaps same with love...

...in total oneness, love is, but it does not move.... the same w/ everything in oneness i suppose.

peace and love

[StarGirl]

hello alexander!

when you said, "love that is not by choice and even remains when you desire it to go away", i read that as meaning that perhaps the love was not returned (which may not be what you meant). i think when you feel that intense love feeling/attraction to someone and it doesn’t seem to be returned this is what may be playing out:

you recognize (consciously or unconsciously), that the desired person, “holds space” for certain internal characteristic “wishes” that you have for yourself. simplified example, a girl really wants to be seen as confident and well informed. however somewhere along the way she got criticized and gave up on that.

now, she finds a guy she likes. surprise…..this guy likes his woman to be confident and well spoken [so this guy actually matches her current internal (if conflicted) desire. however, is she willing to do the work now? what is the work?]

resolving her inner conflict. either 1) she must do what is necessary to achieve her desire of being confident and well spoken (take classes, read more) or 2) realize or choose to be a peace with being still within herself (nothing wrong with a quiet reflective person). the point is she must become at peace with, conscious and accepting of the choice.

then i feel one of two things will happen, with consciousness, you will be drawn to people who will hold space for things you yourself have decided you want to embrace (perhaps “the person” or someone else even better matched) or 2) you will re-evaluate your personal self priorities and suddenly that person who had “held” your attention so dearly… does not seem so interesting now….

see, you are attracted to people who hold or demonstrate qualities that you yourself have/wish to express or need to understand. however, if you are conflicted with these qualities… you are also conflicted to any space or person that would hold you in these same qualities. i think this is how you move into unconditionally loving yourself (then you do that to others). the love probably won't "go away" until whatever it was within yourself that drew you to them, is looked at deeply and loved.

so how does one practically work with that?

i think somewhere david says that issues you had/ wounds from (even say elementary school) will continue to play out in your dreams till you heal them. i used to still dream about this one guy from like 8th grade that i really liked who did not like me. working with this dream image is partially how i came up with the above theory/revelation. i just asked him: what do you want in a girl? dream images will tell you the truth w/o self consciousness or ego and you can begin to make short work of it. (or you could try it with the real person and hope for some genuine conversation and honest feedback. trick is: do they know what they think they want!)

of course…. i must add i do think god plays trick on us and sometimes makes us drawn to people who would hold space for characteristics to be drawn out of us that we never even knew where hiding in us in the first place! those make you want to scream. but it’s the same thing… an issue will be brought up within yourself and how are you going to process it to create peace.

thank you for asking the question… it helped bring clarity to my own mind and sense of things which was very welcome. blessings on your journey!

peace and love

darlyne

[truth37421]

omg, darlyne...i think you are so very right. i look at these intense attractions that i have as not a welcome thing because they feel like they throw me completely from the frying pan into the fire. i fight myself over it nonstop...its not comfortable. but eventually i think it does get better because you either make piece or you allow that person to help you to catalyze further. and everyone knows that a catalyst isn't the most comfortable thing to happen to you even if it is needed at a particular time.

[Alexander]

stargirl,

i appreciate your response, but the case is slightly different than you surmised.

essentially the woman of my affection did return the love i had for her, but for various reasons(mainly long term abuse) was not able to receive love properly and be in a relationship with a man who offered her such. six years have passed, and her plight of being in a cycle of abuse has continued.

i recently was blessed with the opportunity to speak to her and affirm my continued love for her and i feel i was able to convince her of its unconditional nature(with no expectations attached).

contact was broken off, but i am hoping true love will reach her and set her free from her abusive cycle.

if anyone wishes to join me in radiating unconditional love and the desire for her to attain freedom(goodwill/prayers), her name is jessica. she did ask me to pray for her, and my heart's desire is for her to be whole.

thank you.

fortunately the creator has also been teaching me the deeper realities of unconditional selfless love, and how one can best help others irregardless of the cost. i am equally blessed by this experience though it proves painful.

hi, alaxander(that's a fantastic name, btw),
i understand, on a personal level, about being unable to "let go" of something that once gave you the "peak" of happiness in your life, as far as love goes. it became your standard of how love should be between two people. selfless and pure, forgiving all faults and having only the most positive views of that person, no matter what anyone else sees when they look at her. maybe you're the only one who feels so strongly about her. but perhaps when she looks at her abuser, she feels that she's the only one who looks at him with hope. she could feel this is her version of "unconditional love" and selflessness.

but i feel different about that. i feel that, at a certain point, you do have to apply "tough love" and let the person go, for a little bit at least, to let them know their abuse isn't going to be tolerated and needs to be corrected. she is doing more harm than good to this person by staying, because she's teaching him that his abuse is ok. she's keeping him in his pattern and if it continues on like this until he's old and dies, he'll have to come back and try to learn the lesson of respecting others as you want to be respected all over again.

that's just my two cents.

(sending out prayers for her)

[Alexander]

thanks. alexander is my given middle name. it means protector of men(and women)

i was once at an auto station waiting for a car inspection to complete when an older gentleman walked in. he was friendly and chatty and began to tell the woman next to him his experiences. he happened to mention he was in love with a woman who slept around on him and may have been into drugs too. he finally got around to telling her to hit the road. twenty years later he still hasn't gotten over her.

i wonder about the bond some of us have prior to being born or incarnated on this world. how far it goes back, whether it was arranged solely by the creator, or if the two people made a pact prior to coming to earth. possibilities abound.

i have often wondered about how the soul or spirit(insert your own terms here) connection works.

as i know what it feels like to have another person literally be a piece of you and to some degree you can feel their pain or their disharmony. it's like you're never quite whole even if you attain spiritual perfection/excellence.

[Jimbo]

love is the presence of the eternal now--and the methodology of oneness.

[AmelieJolie]

yesterday i asked,

is love is the most powerful force in the universe?

i've always felt this to be true, in my heart.

but can it be proven scientifically?


--------------------------------


if i go within for some answers then i would say that:

love is synonymous with "all is one".

if "all is one" is the truth.......

then love is the most powerful force in the universe.


:d

[j_stubler]

love is a sense of compassion. it is a feeling not a thought. one can have compassion even for someone we do not like on a personal level. it is the essence of what has been called the "ground of being", or the "field", or "intelligent infinity" or even the "mind of god". when you feel compassion you are in tune with this field and as such your vibration is raised closer to that of the fourth density.

[annecat]

the law of one:

love may be seen as the type of energy of an extremely high order which causes intelligent energy to be formed from the potential of intelligent infinity in a particular way. all love emanates from the oneness. (b2, s27, 8)

i cannot further agree with "johnasmodeus" as i am too myself sick of tired of hearing about "love". was that love "unconditional" "motherly" "selfless" or "universal" or just "sweet".

i am not "bitter" or "cynical", i have "loved" and "been in love". i have even had two newborn babies, seen their face, and thought "work".:) and i have felt even overpowering universal "love".

but, if someone says to me "i love you" i would definetely run away from that person as fast as i can. and i have told my own teenagers many times "never form a relationship based on love or do anything based on "love". never.


"love" is a word that people use to control, suppress others, to have power over them.

or have you ever heard people to say to each other; "but your don't love me enought, as if you would, you would...." or "you do not know what is real love", "don't you see that i love you", "i did that our of love",
justifing most bizarre or selfish behaviour.

that quote of law of one is so perfect, quite philosophical.

it is the intellect who makes us to "do loving things", not to harm anyone, to care, to see the bigger picture,the cause and effect, how everything is connected ...:)

the last sentences in a song i wrote (in swedish):

[Truth180]

to give love and not expect anything in return.

to not expect anything in return and give love back. :)

[Blacksunshine]

i hope that this will fit here, and this is an example/thought of earthly love that crossed my mind this morning, and it's just such a simple form.


as of late there has been so many unfortunate situations, ones, that i feel with enough thought and love could have easily been avoided, and in many of the cases, ended in a unnescessary death. very sad.

i was able to link this to a very simple thing that happened this morning.

my husband was down stairs getting some pants out of the dryer. he grabbed them, put them on, closed the dryer, and went upstairs. now when he had gone down there to get them the dryer was running as to get the wrinkles out before i folded them. when he came back upstairs, i asked him "hunny, did you re-start the dryer?" he turn around went down stairs and restarted the dryer. with this i started to think...how often do we perform a simple act of something we need for ourselves, and leave the job at that? we dont move to the next thought....what can i do to make this be an easier more accurate job for the next person that may come into need of this? we run into this daily, in our lives, be it the toilet paper roll, the milk in the fridge, all the way to the incodent that has gotten my mind running, and that is the tragic death of a mentally ill man and his run in with a quick solution of a taser. why dont we strip down to the simplest form of thought...the thought of others. as we are so capable and captivated by the right now we forget to think of the effect that a right now decision may have on someone we love, or a community we respect, or the earth that has treated us so kindly for all these years.

it's the most simple forms of love, that you would think would come so naturally, but in essence has come to be one of the hardest things for many people to see, let alone act on.


think of others, and you will find yourself, wise and filled with love.

many blessings

[billybobbutterball]

hi, guys (gals are of course included in the term, 'guys')

speaking of 'terms' i'm really bent out of shape by the word, "love".
what a misleading sense that gives to so many people simply because of its inseparable connection in one's mind to that of romance -- which evokes the condition of the super concommitment of emotional enthusiasm concerning an object of interest. ??

personally, i think a better word is 'ghet' ...i.e., the glue holding everything together. (we could expand on it a bit and call it d'ghet ...divine glue, etc.)

in the literature --such as the ra material --the highest aspect of love is distinguished from mere emotionality, or sentimentality, or whatever lesser concepts that stick to the love word like a cheap suit on a manikin.:(

my mind, desperate and struggling, has come up with the new word coinage offering of 'drisoaltis'; based on the fact that what is fuzzily thought of as divine love is in actually better identified as the principle of determined resolution in support of the all that is:)

okay, not too good? ... well, i still haven't had breakfast yet. :o

thanks for your kind attention ... in return i'm sending the highest degree of pseudo love to all concerned! bbb

[transiten]

hi!

i just had my late evening meal and came to think about the two concepts "symbolein" and "diabolein"....the latter means "to split" and the first "bring togeher"...but then again it depends on what one brings together and what one tears apart;)

[GuideMySpirit]

i was reading an interesting post about somehow, who at least seemed to have a lot of anger in him, did not believe in unconditional love and that it was non sense to follow it or even try to act in that way.

i have to say i completely see where he is coming from and why he would seem so angry about people telling you to stay positive in a really bad situation, or even to accept and love a person no matter what they do or who they are. it’s easy to say but really hard to follow through with, and there are a lot of people who forcefully try to accomplish that without much success. in fact most of these people get fed up with try to and controlling it that they lose it completely.

i have my own view of what unconditional love is, and its a view that’s not perfect but that is the way i see it, at least right now. my understanding of this kind of love is very different from what i’ve heard about unconditional love. the way i see it is very much like people behave in a very positive community, now i’m not talking only about a small village in tibet where everyone is spiritual, i’m also refer to places around your neighborhood or even your neighbors themselves. most of these people are very nice to you, respect you, talk to you and say hello when they see you, and in a lot of cases would have a chat with you about life. i personally see that as a step towards unconditional love because you are spreading your kindness beyond your family circle (or friends). i believe friends is also another major steps towards developing an unconditional state of love between all people. simply because it grows out of those states of knowing someone, to caring about them, and then to loving them no matter what, and eventually you start treating everyone as your friends and close ones unconditionally.

the way i was looking at it for quite a long time is trying to see everyone as the root of all existence, trying to see people as not simply being people but instead an aspect of myself that is outside of me. this came after the understanding that i am part of unity consciousness and so is everyone else, and they are all experiencing their own paths of life, in which some are related to yours, those being most closest to your path are your family and friends.

at one point i believe you will see beyond the ego mind and understand fully what it really means to unconditionally love someone beyond anything we can ever imagine. lot’s of people have pointed out that – “if someone punched you in the face, you would love them?” – well at my state of mind, no probably not…but i would simply try to understand, and contemplate it when it is over. if i punch back i’m trying to destroy a negative with a negative and that never works, both simply fuse together and create more negative. but instead i always try to see the root problem, and for now i believe that is an aspect that can guide you towards unconditional love. if your friends or even a stranger did something bad or said something that hurt you, it is easy to say something or do something bad back, but it is the hardest for the ego to stop and think about it, and understand the person and see them at their core, that they are simply the same being.

since my explanation might seem a little confusing, and later i want to open up more on friends, family and strangers with love, first i want to show a chart i created; and will explain.

http://guidemyspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/human-consciousness.jpg

i made this chart because some people still have a hard time understanding how the universal spirit (god) is connected to the higher self (hs) and how the higher self is connected to many people all at once. if you look at the chart you notice that the universal spirit is connected to the higher self, which there are many complexes that exists, all those higher selfs are connected to many individuals(!), not just one! so you are experiencing something that your overall high self wanted too, but at the same time is in many more different forms you are simply not aware off. so that is why you have to understand others actions, and if you intuitively feel is right, even guide them.

one such case a person brought up is abuse, if your relationship has abuse and other forms of negative gravity. i don’t believe you simply except them for who they are, because that is not them, you can still unconditionally love someone and leave them, because you know its best for them to get their lives straight. believe it or not there are people who stay in a relationship because they want to love everyone no matter what, but that is simply ignorance.

we are all connected on different forms and levels, but within we are all the same, unconditional love simply means seeing that without doubt. every cell in your body registers that feeling and knows it as a fact. when people simply love or [try] to love unconditionally they not fully there yet, there are still some parts of them that is not ready for a change like that, and needs to be worked on.

here as a sub heading i wanted to cover in a little more depth the levels of family, friends and strangers and how i was feeling towards that. i simply see it right now as family being the starting zone (novice) level of understanding love (conditional & unconditional) because it is much easier to love family. then comes loving your friends, which is in a way the next level of taking your learning and applying it to someone who is outside your family circle, but is still close to you. and finally strangers, and first a stranger can become your friend, such as when you meet your friends friend, but eventually what i’m talking about is seeing all people as part of you, being the same source and one being in different forms. that is really the finally step towards reaching love and seeing the totality of it, but again i laid it out in a very general way not to go to much into depth.

tell me what you think readers, what does love mean to you, and what is unconditional love?

[evolving]

... on a plane where the distortion of seperation is non-existant!!! it'd be like love x 1,000,000!

if that plane were to include only earth's inhabitants, it would be love x (approximately) 6, 793, 000, 000 + those in between incarnations.

were we to include all of the one creator's creatures, that number would be as the one creator's love is, infinite.

[Enivid]

there's two types of love.

the unconditional love and the conditional love. conditional love springs from the false light and the unconditional love springs from the original light. the infinite light that is infinite.

evolving, i really love your description, so simple and so perfect! :)
if we all gave love and lived by love we would create something amazing, and that is what i see as our next move, living with infinite unconditional love.

love is to accept all and be honest. love is not to keep secrets or to lie. love is to care about others. love is about co-creating. love is about relationships such as friendships. love is about life, and all is love. the opposite is the lack of love, and that is what created conditional love (the false light).

[corie blunt]

to me love is the acceptance of your true self. recognizing the divine spark within and using it to grow to the fullest potential. love is in a bit of every positive quality, feeling and emotion we know. love is simple complication made intricate because god is love and love is a part of god

[Matthew Clark]

hi,

here are a few quotes about love, enjoy.....


absence does not make the heart grow fonder, but it sure heats up the blood.

always love your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.

an archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.

an old person loved is winter with flowers.

animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. what a shame they set difficult standards for people to live up to.

at any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. that's a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.

better to have loved a short person than never to have loved a tall.

a mighty pain to love it is, and 'tis a pain that pain to miss; but of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain.

a scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

a man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.

a pity beyond all telling is hid in the heart of love.

a woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to be thankful for a good one.

accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

among those whom i like or admire, i can find no common denominator, but among those whom i love, i can: all of them make me laugh.

at the centre of non-violence stands the principle of love.

at the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. you don't have to have a college degree to serve. you don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love.

a heart that loves is always young.

we are not where we live, but where we love.

a man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

a successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

any time not spent on love is time wasted.

as the ocean is never full of water, so is the heart never full of love.

hope you enjoyed these!

love and light,

matt :)

honestly their are many types of love. love of killing millions, love of torture of lives even manipulating lives but this is the negative side of so called love. that's why jesus talks about unconditional love only. love in your family on helping each other out giving each other advise. the love for the opposite sex/ wifey for me lol. which is when you would die for that person when the time comes period. loving her like you've never been hurt with all of your wisdom and heart. now there are many tips but the most important is unconditional love which leads to ascension and to a full awakening if you have an opened mind to any type of question without ridicule. it's and it also help lead to your higher self!!

[Anders Lindman]

love is a higher feeling than fear. this doesn't mean that fear is useless. even suffering has a purpose. suffering is the dirty soil from which love flowers. without the soil, no growth would be possible.

even though fear and suffering are needed and serve a purpose, we are not meant to stay in fear and suffering. we are meant to grow out of fear and suffering.

some may say that good cannot exist without bad. that polarities are needed. to that i say, yes true, but we can learn to choose between different things. we can say that fresh fruit cannot exist without rotten fruit. probably true, but if you went to a supermarket, would you choose fresh fruit or rotten fruit? that was perhaps not the best metaphor, but you get the idea. we do have a choice, and the more we learn how to choose, the better choices we will be able to make.

then how to choose love instead of fear? that is a tricky thing because reality is one interconnected wholeness, and all things and events affect each other in many different ways and to different degrees at different moments in time.

to be able to choose love, we first need to know what love is. a simplified explanation is that love is when things work well together. when things don't work well together we have conflicts (both internally and externally), friction, insecurity, separation, confusion, hostility and fear. when things work well together those negative things are resolved.

therefore, to choose love is about expanding one's sense of self in a holistic way. look at war for example. that's an expression of total separation. as i mentioned in another post, it would be foolish if in my own body my left arm would be at war with my right arm, yet that is exactly what we have in the 'body' of humanity today. so from that perspective, war is insanity, but it's really an expression of separation, aspects of reality that has not yet become integrated into a larger whole that embraces both sides while at the same time preserves their uniqueness.

we humans have developed an extreme sense of separation. that has been needed, or else we would not have developed as unique individuals. the next step is to integrate the sense of being separate with being connected, to expand the sense of self to include more of reality without losing one's individuality, personality, integrity or sovereignty.

love is not about service to self. love is not about service to others. love is about serving both oneself and others. service to fear brings separation and feels horrible. service to love brings joy and feels good.

i think love is overrated, every emotions is useful in the right situation. the problem with fear or anger (or any emotion for that matter) is that most people let their emotions control them instead of controlling their emotions. if you let yourself be confined within the borders of one emotion, that will limit what you are capable of experiencing. love can be as much of a trap as fear can.

love won't help when a vicious psychopath is threatening the lives of your family and loved ones. neither will fear, but you could selectively harness the power of rage if a physical confrontation was unavoidable. in fact i've effectively use that avoid violence, and all i had to do was stand there.

love isn't as important as being able consciously select what emotions you want to use, and when you want to use them. love is just very user friendly emotion that you can't possibly screw up with. even if you're not in control of your emotions (maybe especially when?) you don't have to worry about negative consequences. it's a quick reliable fix for almost any emotional situation.

in learning to control my dreams, an important factor i noticed was that strong emotions have a powerful influence over the way things look, the way dream characters behave, and the sorts of things that appear next in the dream. personally, i find using strong emotions the best way to control dream characters. then i noticed the exact same thing happens in real life as well. the stronger the emotion the more effect it has on the world around you. no emotion is stronger than another one, it all has to do with the intensity you feel it or generate it.

one morning a few years back, i awoke feeling better than i've ever felt before. like the king of the world, like i could do anything. this feeling of well being was so strong i was practically vibrating with it. so when i left for work that morning, everyone at the bus stop was staring at me. and on the bus as well. every person was turned around backwards in their seats staring at me shamelessly with their mouths hanging open. for the entire time i was on the bus. funny thing is, my parents or the guys at work didn't notice anything amiss about me. only people who didn't know me well.

love isn't everything, people need to embrace their shadow elements. if there is a fractal pattern to reality, then love is only part of that pattern. if you remain incomplete by only with only the love aspect, then someone else is going need to wallow in the dark side to compensate for your selfish love fest. (<--just an idea, not meant to sound preachy)

[Zach]

love is the cosmic force that holds all of creation together.
love is creation.
love is the mirror reflection of hate which is destruction.
love is positive desire.
love is peace.
love is all that is positive.

goodmorning zach and thecusp

no question can it be an act of love showing you anger, it depends on your intention, or at least you becoming conscious of your anger and not getting a narcissistic powerboost from it, which you actually can get from showing "love" if it's not genuinly felt but just a means of manipulating someone.

and sometimes it's difficult to know in advance what will manifest as "positive". honesty is alss something positive, to show ones true feelings but not to stick with the anger and hate. it can be difficult to show love if one cannot show anger, like it's difficult to say yes if you cannot say no in this 3d of opposites.
