What is Love?

[Nat_Lee]

Love is YOU and me !

love is a smile, self expression, love is colorful, love is all that exist, love is everywere, love is a caress of the soul, love is the perfect moment, love is hate, love is black, love is not positif or negative, love is energy, love is creative, love is permanent, love is duality, love is mAking love, love is sharing or rejecting, love is in, love is out.
Perfect in is imperfections.

LOVE IS, just is.

My tought :)

[Lee-B]

For me, Love=Altruism

[Icecold]

Me too Lee. It's a huge part of the picture.

[TimelessDimensions]

IMO and based on my years of scientific and spiritual research;

LOVE = treating others the same way you would like to be treated = understanding that all are one.

NOT LOVE = treating others in a way that you would NOT like to be treated = hypocrisy = believing in the illusion of separateness = ignorance.

Loving Relationships......watch this vid.

This video is a handbook for a successful relationship. Its fascinating and I found it enlightening in many ways. Maybe it can provide some pointers for you..... I have the long version of this vid, it goes for about 40mins. This is an introduction....

"Love is the fusion of power and beauty...
power moves you, beauty touches your soul...love moves your soul with the gentlest of touches"

[East Sun]

It is a coincident that today I was thinking of asking this same question on a different forum.
There are so many contradicting definitions that I think a few new words could make it plain as to what kind of "love" they are referring to. Sex as love making? What if it is paid for sex, is that love making? I don't think so. People are not confused. But that's Hollywood mind control for you.

Dear Jendayi:

I found "Dreams in Motion to be a healing experience. Would you have an Mp3 version? If possible, I would like to add it to my player for listening before sleeping.

Thank you,

Funny thing is I had the same question on my mind since yesterday, and look! it has materialized. Love is born out of compassion, it is sacrificing one's ego for another due to the perception of being one with the other ego.

(Universal) Love is the attraction of gravity.
It's an inner feeling/attraction in all Cosmos that reminds to us that everything are One.
Without Love the Universe Would Not Exist.

Love is a very misused word and generally does not describe it. Love is a completely beneficent wave of compassionate energy that sweeps out of the Universe and smooths out the wrinkles in our brains. It is felt and when it happens, you know it. It is actually indescribable. The word is never the thing. It certainly is not what most of us feel when we think about our partners and relationships. We hold images about each other in our minds, held together by what we think - me, me, me mostly. Thought thinks it rules us and so we need to understand its nature in order to free ourselves from the chains it binds us to - Ego. Mostly, when a person talks about love, they are thinking of themselves. You see, the observer is the observed. When the object of their desire does something untoward in regard to that person, he/she becomes despondent, shattered. Where is the love then? Jealousy and envy, for instance, are thought-induced emotions. Reactions - not love. Ego based. Belief, for instance, always swings into doubt. So, why entertain it?

That's my twopenny worth. Hope it helps.

Are not all emotions, including love, chemical reactions within the 'body'!? Do not emotions, like any 'drug', cloud perception of fact and reality!?

How can one claim to be awake, if perception is clouded!? Is it not human arrogance and lack of understanding the cause for how the world is now; based on emotions such as love and fear!?

Is not this lack of understanding, of the human machine/animal, the same as that ability human beings have to create things that harm life!? Is not the promotion of this human experience the deceit that has contributed to the enslavement and weakening of the human species!?

I say, how is it that emotion is not to be the foundation to make decisions for survival, lest the decision cause hardship - yet it is promoted to the masses as a 'feel good', thus the masses do not understand why they have hardship.

This is not to imply human beings should not experience emotion, as it is a part of their being; these words are to imply to experience emotions in the proper place and time - and to do this is to understand and accept it for what it is.

I know my words do not win favor; however, I take comfort in knowing my words do not hinder but rather aid those who understand.

[Jendayi]

have you ever considered that it is the emotions that trigger the chemical reaction in our bodies instead of the reaction being the source of emotion?
i am not saying this is fact.. i don't know... however.. as with everything else.. all begins in spirit..
just a thought..

In LOVE yes emotions goes out to the other and then what happens ?

Who is creating this state of love ? It is self created.

Why do people close down this flow ??

It happens when the other is not as the false image that often both have made up.

To accept a partner as they are is the key to true lasting LOVE.

Dont try to change anything about your love ones !

Love is a state self created ! And no, there need not be any partner to go there !

All Love :love:

All Love :love:

If I may, please, my understanding is that LOVE is EVERYTHING. ALL there is is LOVE. The rest of what we call love, eg a partnership, relationship is images, held together by thought. LOVE may have led us into that partnership and, having made the connection, we generally do not stay there. We think about it etc. We cannot own LOVE but we think we can. That creates conflict, and changes the relationship. LOVE may want to resolve that conflict but thought interferes, because we want what we want and insist on having it, which isn't LOVE or it may be love of self which isn't LOVE. It is destructive - but that is in the nature of THOUGHT generally in humanity.

Depression is probably the most selfish act. Bottom line, why me? Ego is in the way

LOVE as no images. It is a feeling, a force that puts you in touch with what we need to learn.
To try to change someone? It cannot be done. Trust LOVE.

You are LOVE. The self cannot create you. LOVE is not aware of self. It starts with you. It is you.

Hope this helps. It might become clearer if to replace the word 'we' with 'thought'.

Apologies for any unintended offence.

Does not the state of mind, from internal and external sources, differ from emotions!? How can one come before the other, when there is no cause or effect!?

[Jendayi]

maybe state of mind determines the intensity of emotions..
is (a state of) peace als based in emotion? just a really quite one? i don't have the answers... are feelings emotions?
aaarghh... will we ever get it? hope so...

[king anthony]

...will we ever get it? hope so...

Is not the lack of understanding based on complicating the uncomplicated, which is based on human arrogance to fulfill need!?

[Jendayi]

@ King Anthony: true....

[Matts]

Maybe love means: to be able to let the things from outside find a way into the heart. For me this fits good.

[58andfixed]

Maybe being vague about what Love is, or ambivalent about what Love is contributes to our current world paradigm.
