Why are you love?

Why are you love?

Firstly, toss out the notion of love being an emotional experience. Love is confirmable directly as your true nature, and an absolute truth can not be limited to the emotional capacity of an individual.

Two examples of love:

First example: you’re at a restaurant with “the love of your life”. There’s a moment where nothing is being said. In the middle of a crowded and loud restaurant you look into their eyes. Suddenly, time stops and the loudness is suddenly gone. Not surprisingly, you are gone too, completely lost in each others eyes. This is a moment where love is realized.

Second example: You see the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen. You are alone, no camera to take photos, all you can do is be in awe. You are gone here as well, lost completely in the beauty of the sunset.

The theme here is that “you” are “gone”. What has happened in these moments where love is realized is that the mind has ceased objectification. You (the subject) have identified totally with the object of your adoration. This causes one to stop intellectualizing and simply to be in the presence of this perfection. The object is no longer an object because you have surrendered yourself to it. The self sense is usually felt behind the eyes in the darkness of the mind (separated), but in the moment of love, you are living fully in the light in front of the eyes (in the light / enlightened). In all cases of pure love, the mind has fully released because, well, it’s all in the presence and there’s nothing to think about it.

Love is the collapse between subject and object. It can not be thought of as an act, because the one who would act is thusly gone. It is your true nature in full surrender.

If you look around the room, everything which can be perceived must not be “the perceiver”. That which perceives must be completely empty, subtler than subtle, and thusly imperceivable. That which perceives can not be perceived, for it is empty. 

That which sees can not be seen, that which hears can not be heard, that which thinks can not be thought, etc, etc.

If you allow yourself to see that, logically, there’s no way you could possibly be anything other than nothing, you realize that the emptiness which was thought to separate “you” (the ego) from the object in fact connects all objects within itself.

By recognizing your true Self as being that which occupies the space between, it is recognized that what allows the collapse of the subject and object is actually You (the experience without the experiencer).

The feeling of love is a byproduct of your actual true self. It is the nature of pure seeing, of pure hearing, of pure being. To occupy fully the space which appears, you are occupying your true nature of love.

That which occurs behind the eyes gives the illusion of separation. That which occurs fully in front of them leaves no room for separation…it is completely full and fully complete.

Love goes together with absolutely everything. ;P

Well said. Love is more profound than the human emotion. It is the dissolving of apparent boundaries, and the realization of the seamless Self. Even as an apparent self, it is possible to see this. There is a resonance with the same Self in all things. It's not just limited to people. You can see the sameness in a tree, in a dog, or in a sunset. It is all Consciousness, appearing as separate forms, but ultimately entirely unified. That is the realization of true Love.

For the same reason you are Love.

Everything is unified by Love.

I don't know, I just AM.

[Breakingthewall]

you are loved because you are. the fact of being implies that you are loved. you are loved by yourself, infinity, and that is why you are

[Lenny]

You are, because you love. Your love generates the entire universe, including yourself. The only thing holding the universe in place as it is, is your love.

[Scholar]

You do not need to say that you are Love, or anything is Love, because everything that is, is precisely that which it is.

 

You cannot escape the nature of Essence. That which you are now, precisely now, in that state in which you say you do not know what Love is. Whatever that is, it is precisely that which it is. There is nothing more to it.

 

Stop looking for anything but this. Stop looking for realization. Stop looking for deeper consciousness. Just look at what Is. It already is, it already is looked at, it already is not looked at.

 

 

When you say "Love fuels everything", in your mind it creates separation, as if "Love" was separate from "Everything". But it is precisely the lack of that separation, of all separation, that is that which is. It is already the case.

 

Your very denial of that is part of that which is, it is part of Unity. There is nothing to realize, nothing to dissolve, nothing to emerge, nothing to gain insight into.

 

The Universe is not being held together by Love. There is no two substances. Look at the color red. Look at it, look at it, look at it. That is all.

[Scholar]

 

Forget Love. What is this. Look closely, until there is no question left.

[Zeroguy]

@aetheroar What else as God you will be? 

What else God would create. There can't be nothing else forever. 

[Scholar]

This is essential:

You will frame everything as being Love, as if Love was the most essential Essence, and everything else was an inferior kind of Substance that is granted to by Love.

No, Redness is not just created or made of Love. Redness is Love, and Love is Redness. It is the same thing, there is no difference. The presence and essence of Redness is that which is Love.

So you never discovered "Love" as an essence. Everything that ever was, was always purely that which it is. And that is what Love is. It is Being, it is Mystery.

 

Redness is not created by anything more essential than Redness itself. Redness itself is the Creative Force, that is what Divinity is. That is what Nothingness is.

 

Then, you realized that the entire framework of enlightenment, of spiritual seeking, it is all just one more form, one more Creation. One particulate that you seek to put above all else, One particulate you seek to ground yourself in.

But this Ground is Groundless. Redness is Groundless. Your desire to Ground is survival, even your desire to ground yourself in what you deem to be most essential or Truthful.

 

This is why when you let go of it, you will let go of "Love" and "Truth", as you realize that to deny anything whatsoever will always be Truth itself. You already did this, otherwise you would not be here, being an ant, being a chimp, being a grain of sand.

Your Ignorance is your Divinity.
