and to each his own, the subject of love, just like the subject of life, is self interpreted, as we all go along our own yet intertwining paths. so the definition of living up to it would also be self-interpreted.

i'll end this one off with,

respect.

lol :P

You might wish that everything could be thrown on the opinion heap, but love works the same through everyone and by seeing how love runs in you you see how love runs in all people, then one has no opinion in this regard and realize everyone knows what love is because they feel love.

The ruse in spiritual discussion is to assert that there is different kinds of love unconditional and conditional, but even these love gurus recognize both catagories as love... because there isn't two kinds of love... there are a million kinds.

It is only a matter of seeing love in you and noticing it's ways, and I'm sure people work pretty much the same way, so it isn't opinion based, you know how love works in me and I know how it works in you.

This is a beautiful post Gem. I wish we could dig up the Love Flows thread from last round...or whatever it was you termed it.

I wonder if I can recall my little axioms on this comparing love to a river, as you have done many times. If I can, I'll post them here. I really, really like the analogy and it speaks to me on a deep and timeless level...

It's the way you feel when you remember something you've always known but didn't realise. It is so real and true for me.

Cheers

Ok...I dug this up from an old email I sent to someone I love v much...and he knows who he is...LOL...

Quote:

[x]'s simple philosophy of love...

...love heals all (better than time)...
...love flows best as a steady stream, deep and clear -- not intermittent or obstructed or clouded...
...all we need is love, like the song says...well, that'll do for me...

and I do love you.

it's all about removing the obstructions isn't it?...letting the flow run free...

Cheers

Many people will say that there are obstacles which prevent a real wholesome love, but the niggly pigglies in the phsyche do not prevent anything.... a real full fledged connection is here for absolutely anyone right now, Everything is perfectly acceptable in consciousness... or God loves anyway.

I do not wish people to believe this or that thing needs to be done... it doesn't.

To clear our emotional blocks is the most important thing we can do... and we don't do that to attain love, we do it because we already love.

I have this really cool poem.

You Are Me

You are me and I am you.
It is obvious that we are inter-are.
You cultivate the flower in
yourself so that I will be beautiful.
I transform the garbage in myself so
that you do not have to suffer.
I support you you support me.
I am here to bring you peace
you are here to bring me joy.

- Thich Naht Hahn
