Love is allowing yourself to be fully YOU. Everything is also a self-reflection of YOU!

Love is lack of resistance, fully embracing reality for what it is

^^^^^ This. Also....the absence of logic ^^^^ All logic is motivated by fear, and a desire to control....so love is the lack of knowing. It is the lack of conditions. Logic=conditional. It is not logical to sacrifice your life from an individual perspective....for a person. Although you can certainly use logic to explain it. Logic is geared towards control and certainty, and proper investment of time and resources. 

Logic AVOIDS risk, it looks for the least risky option, it looks for consistency, it searches for high yield low risk. Love ignores risk, Love seeks to connect, to protect, to nourish, and ignores the risk and return associated with it. This is why the highest expression of love= DEATH. Love is sacrifice....I noticed Teal Swan did a whole video denying this and I realized why she did that....Teal Swan is too fearful and selfish. 

Parents sacrifice their lives to raise their children. A soldier on the battlefield sacrifices his life for his countries economic interests. Now this isn't a call to demonize logic, because ironically....selflessness is the highest form of logic because it sees the bigger picture. If your body organs were self-conscious and felt like separate organs....you would die...oh that's right it already exists....it's called CANCER!!! LOL.

Cancer is a WINK from God...to explain why selfishness== stupidity. LOL.

Sad thing is sometimes the greatest act of love is to cut that limb off if it threatens the survival of the whole body. Such a shame.....sometimes paradoxically the greatest act of selflessness...is selfishness. It's selfish to cut the limb, but it's also selfish to not cut it.

So how do you break this paradox...through intention. If you intended to cut the limb because it saves the whole then this is ultimately a selfless act especially if you did all you could to save the limb.....but if you did it out of hatred for the limb because it was acting wayward....then this was truly a selfish act. So one of the ways....to know the true nature of an act is not just the act....but the intention behind it. The intention reveals the act. 

Truthfully what I am saying is not new though...ancient texts have stated it is the intention that determines the act....not the act itself. You know WHY you did something at the end of the day.

yes love isn't all rainbows and butterflies ... you have to be brutal as much as tender

love will kill as much as kiss which leo should have pointed out

You (God) are,always were,and always will be brutal. "Life" is a representation of God. God is both bittersweet and not.

To define romance as apart from the spiritual is to miss the point of romance ?

Realizing that violently shitting out chipotle is Love is definitely one of my life goals.

Oh he has...he got 2 videos about this.

This is the love I admittedly struggle with. Pain is the experience of  weakness/strength lol.

We call love a feeling that exists towards something or someone, for example towards your mother . Also in the mystical sense it is said that reality is love. Really what we call love is existence, when we love someone it is that we perceive the absence of barriers between that person and us, reality flows. Loving ourselves is simply accepting ourselves. then, love is simply the absence of barriers. The barriers are made of fear, therefore, love is the absence of fear.

Baseline Enlightenment is not a complicated thing at all. Stare at reality, put your attention on your heart, then conjure up feelings of thanks, appreciation, gratefulness, do this until it feels like your heart has exploded and you will shatter the boundary and will access the Absolute. 

How does one become this appreciative? Live a life of integrity, and love. When you live a life this way, you raise your ability to access the love and intelligence that you are. Over time that investment will pay off and eventually you will be led towards an awakening. That awakening will be permanent, baseline if you desire to live from that state.
