Tho by how you're describing it, your perspective of how you see it; seems closed off. You make it sound like it doesn't last, which it can. It just doesn't leave moments. Cause it is what fills those 'moments', and fills inside with that feeling.

Anyone can experience it. You just have to be aware of that moment, and not judge it negatively. Love can be seen as fleeting too, like a butterfly, if you pay attention to it, you will see it's the feeling that fills and moves it, just like the air under it.

So, god, and these heavenly beings, want us to love one another here on Earth. Now, in order to love someone, you must have a loving thought. But, the loving thought, by itself, does not allow you to love, since it doesn't give you the experience of love. It's only once that thought makes you feel love (an emotion) that you're able to love someone.

This issue is addressed in the 'fable' part of this post:
