Love category: what is love?
Friday, June 8th, 2007Question: What is LOVE ? Is it a feeling? Is it an emotion? And when you talk about love, are you talking about what you feel toward yourself, or what you feel about others, or what you feel from others? You state in your Manual “God is Love.” Love has many aspects and is often confused because of this.Love is the concept related to being in affinity with someone or something
else. That is, willing to occupy the same space as ….With regard to ‘God is Love’: that would mean that the energy source or pattern that we regularly refer to as God occupies the same space as us. “If” we allow that knowingness then the fuller impact can be felt on spiritual, mental, and emotional and even physical level.
With regard to others: love is the awareness that others stand in the same ocean of Being that we do and are part of the same Creation. When we express those loving thoughts, words, vibrations, feelings or emotions, they affect us directly. To be in the ’space’ of Love means we would be open as compared to being closed off, ‘protected’, disconnected, shut down, etc.
I am also familiar with the definition of Love as being comprised of three things: Attention (the willingness to put your attention on someone or something), Respect (the willingness to accept that the other person or
thing is exactly the way they are without you needing to change them), and Appreciation (the willingness to enjoy that person or thing exactly as they are).
In my opinion, the biggest lie I hear is that people believe they are disconnected from God. That doesn’t fit my view of God or life. What ‘energy’ is keeping us alive if not God?
