What's a soul ? Is it something you've read about or have you personally seen souls.

I get the same effect from brownies as Siddhartha got from milk-rice pudding.

I appreciate your earnestness but the treacherous sea of language maintains the division between fragments. Without togetherness, we will both suffer.

Ending relationships with "evil" people is easy. My parents love me. And that love, like a coagulant, is the evil glue that binds us - three individual colloidal particles - and throw us, as a family unit, out of the uniform suspension of humanity.
Love is not love when it is protective of the particular and destructive of the whole.

There are contradictions and there are paradoxes. We need to understand the difference. Again, there is context. Try to see the context of my words you quoted regarding the unfolding of this thread.
And once more, please desist from asking me to explain. You are uninterested or lack comprehension.
This has very little to do with the treacherous sea of language.

Oneness/unity will always express itself in the particular. The greater our own surrender to the gift of unity, the better able we are to express love in each moment, come whatever the circumstances.
Love is always particular. It is not a feeling. Love is expressed by word or act, in empathy with others. Compassion, an exchange between equals.
The particular is oneness. The paradox. Like DNA, a single cell is a blueprint for the whole body. The movement, the becoming, adds an aspect difficult to integrate into any explanation via words, which are frozen in time.
"Love has no why" (Meister Eckhart)

Love according to Buddhism is very different than love according to the Western world....
