Define love??

[thepainterdoug]

We all believe we know what it means, or what its supposed to mean. We all say its the most important thing. We all say it to each other and hear it said to ourselves, but let me hear you define it?

What is Love?

[Ioneo]

The absence of all negatives.

[Deega]

From my little perspective, LOVE is selfless, hopefully unconditional, non-attachment, ever continous positive energy transfer toward all that live!

Here's a link that may nourrish our thoughts of it.

The best to you!

Love is known not by definition.

Okay, but what is Life then? Absence of death?


"If I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you. But if I am I because you are you and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are not you!"

- a translated quote attributed to Kotzker Rebbe

Restated..

If Life is Life because Life is Life, and Death is Death because Death is Death, then Life is Life and Death is Death. But if Life is Life because Death is Death and Death is Death because Life is Life, then Life is not Life and Death is not Death.

(same goes for 'The absence of all negatives'. )

I'd 'hate' for him to get run over, however, I 'fear' he will if he keeps playing in the street.

(Maybe if he confronts those cars head on they will stop or avoid him?)

No chance. No words. No definition. Love is the only - yes, what? - that cannot be defined. It is beyond everything. If you love, you know, you know.

[Camilo]

Love, love, love each other and all things, even those things that your personality does not like, love them nonetheless. Know that love is not a feeling. It is not an emotional state, and it is not an amotional response. It is a perception within which you see the divine spark in everything.

What is Love?

Love is when you are not... when words are not... when ego is not...
Love is that which cannot be touched... but can be felt...
Love is the state of no separation.
Love is that which fills an empty void.
Love cannot be addressed...
One that is full of Love, is like a cup overflowing... flows in all directions.
In close proximity, one can feel such love.

thanks all! referring to posts so far/ the opposite of all negatives is positives. isn't the opposite of fear more like no fear or bravery? isn't the opposite of truth, lies? does not everything have a definition? isn't truth truth?

/ the great luminary walter russel said love is an equal giving and taking in the world. i kinda like that. like the last line the beatles say in a day in the life.
romantic love is a highly conditional emotion . a course in miracles refers to it as "special love "often a mask for hate. meaning shouldn't you love everyone? as the sun shines on all who stand in its rays.

Just using the word love, logically requires a definition otherwise it is meaningless (by definition).

'Love' should not even be a word for when 'it' is a word it is not love.

That doesn't sound logical but neither is _ _ _ _.

Anthony De Mello (3mins)- Love is a state of being:

This is something i listen to many times for the reminder...as it is the absence of fear

The other thing..when you reside in this state...your life force is at maximum health and nourishing to provide the best quality of life. Your blood resides in your sternum to cater for maximum organ nutritional aid. Rather than the fight or flight adrenal milking where the blood is pumped into the limbs instead for defense. Our world reality aims to milk you in this way so you are not focused on it but reacting to it. So there is a very 'physical' effect also. Then, see who enters your reality when living in the state of love also. Wonderful individuals in similar states will be drawn to you.

I hope this helps as when i first heard it i was really forced to self examine...in a good powerful realising way.

Love is compassion in action ...

[Wookie]

Love is a force that holds things together and creates ones reality, good and bad.

I 'hear' you.

I meow, therefore I am meowing.
