Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) @Anna1 I started out my spiritual journey as a Christian as a child, understood God = love and then after learning about the Law of Attraction, I think there's no other word quite like Love as a pointer. Awareness and consciousness are also really important pointers, but what is the extra thing that love or what the word "love" understood as a pointer to, adds or takes away? That's the thing that makes existence itself, and all of this work worth it, in my opinion anyway.

Posted August 5, 2019 @mandyjw You do what works for you. I'll do what works for me. I don't use the word love to point to my true nature as pure awareness. “You don’t have problems; you are the problem.” – Swami Chinmayananda Namaste ? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then it’s the most meaningful possible question. @Anna1 I hear ya. ?? Makes good sense.

Posted August 5, 2019 @Mikael89 FYI, McKenna and Ralston are wrong. This is not a matter of believing people. You must do the practices. Do not make a mockery of this work but being on this forum and talking without having done any work. You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

By your attitude it is clear that you are not awake to what Love is. Contemplate: What is Love? until it kills you, until you drown in it. Only then will your awakening be complete. You are God.
