Thread: Tell me about love

What is love? I don't know. I've never experienced it. I made my way through high school without accepting a single request to date. Am I cruel? No. But I will die before I accept fairweather love like that. I don't know love, but I know what I want it to be:

Someone who is willing to marry me under the condition that we remain forever abstinent. Once I find that person, I know I've found love.

Only one way to answer this thread.

Korittke wins...

Yeahh I keep listening to that tune recently...thanks!

Love... *sigh* Why try to explain something that you can only feel for yourself? I can never truly describe this feeling, just as I cannot tell you truly enough what it's like to bungee jump. These things can be described in detail... but never can you truly know it until you jump off that ledge. Love it, hate it, it's a bicycle moment.

Describing love is like describing why you like a certain song, or a certain food, theres no way to describe love. To me love is a feeling I get that is so strong, that the person I love I feel like I can't spend a moment without them.

I just get such an overwhelming feeling of some kind of warmth and nervousness, at the same time kind of euphoric and dream like, i feel almost as if im dreaming when in love, reality seems unreal when in love, and anything seems possible.

Love is a gift that can only be given to others.

When entities emerge out of spirit of existence, in this particular universe they emerge as with two polarities, masculine and feminine. Upon descending from an existence of pure consciousness to energy, the maculine and feminine forces are divided (I say emerge instead of created because they already existed as infinite potential). This division is an incredibly painful experience and leaves us as lost, confused lonely little spirits that feel incomplete. The ultimate goal of love in this universe is to once again merge yourself with your original twin. The game is kind of like... let's take them apart and see if they can put themselves back together again. Before you can do that, however, you have to find a way to make yourself complete independently. That is essentially infinite self-love. Through our many lifetimes we have learned the necessary lessons and have also slowly moved toward becoming equal parts masculine and feminine. While we may exist in a vessel that can only be one, our essence is split.

And so we wander this earth searching for love, but love is inside us, to be given out only. One will never find love from the outside.

As far are casual romantic love goes, everything spiritual has a physical manifestation and the physical manifestation of our longing for each other acts that through sexual drive. We are a one-mate species, and so basically, the closer two mates are together, the better their offspring's chances are at surviving, reproducing and generally being healthy. That means that this concoction of hormones that singles out on one person only needs to be diluted enough so we don't go crazy and kill ourselves. It's a careful balance between trying to tie you as closely to your mate as possible without it actually becoming detrimental to your survival.

Polarities, huh... one question, how does bisexuality come into that reasoning? Just curious to know...

And homosexuality, and transgendered, and everything else.

I'm obviously not done researching this, or anything... ever. My only supposition goes along with the answer I've read on homosexuality. While we may go through lifetimes when we are sexually attracted to different things, these are again manifestations of our inner yearnings. One can be born a man, feel like a man, and could have entered this world as a feminine polarity, and yet still be attracted to girls in that lifetime. One could have entered as a masculine polarity and find themselves attracted to other masculine polarities for a lifetime. Supposedly in the final act when you meet your twin flame, you are both healthy individuals of the opposite sex.

The other thing is we develop into equal parts male and female. So, in many ways that can be acted out sexually or not, the road to self-acceptance can put us in a weird position. Remember the kaw of karma, everything you do to the world, you do to yourself. In order to heal ourselves, our attitudes, intentions and desires change during the rebirth process. This masculine-feminine polarity is where we started, but like I said the job is to become your own complete entity. Then, when you do reunite with your twin flame (on your last life time in this world) what you feel for them transcends sexuality and even what most people call love. You feel infinite trust in them, and like they're on the same level as you and giving off the same vibes. There's no worry, no insecurity, not unless you don't feel self-love yet and are still trying to make yourself happy by using existence.

Okay, just was curious to see how you dealt with that with your idea. Interesting...

As for me, I can't say I know anything about the quality/state that is love... not really experienced it enough times in order to really be able to understand it...

Even with out the sexual polarity of male/female there is still the polarity of uniting with that which is not you, I suppose. I wish I understood it better myself, but being a subjective phenomenon you really need to experience it to understand it.

Love goes far beyond the romantic manifestation. Developing your sense of empathy can put you in touch with all the other manifestations, and you can find them damn near anywhere you look if you care to look for them.

Empathy? Lol what is that? [/joke]

Empathy is no joke. It's a blessing and a curse. I was stricken with it like a lightning bolt and my life has never been the same.

I find I can be both a heartless bastard in certain situations, and 'empathic' in others... though in this little vid thing (probably was a trick or somethin) on showing if you were a psychopath/sociopath or not, I came up with the answer that puts me in the sociopath category... should that be a cause for concern?

Being a 'heartless bastard' is a defensive mechanism. Love requires being open. Open is a scary thing. Obviously being a sociopath isn't a good thing, but that video was probably bs. Got a link?

Open is something that has lead to quite a bit of trauma on my part... and when I mean heartless bastard, sometimes I simply feel nothing towards a person in a certain situation.

I can see that, especially in a romantic situation. It's really a matter of expectations while you're looking for a needle in a haystack. But try looking beyond romance. For example, a bum in the street. You could walk by and avoid eye contact. You could walk by and feel hatred and contempt. Hell, some people would walk my and spit on the poor bastard. But could you look the guy in the eye and realize that he's just a person that is no different than you, but he's just in a really fucked up place? Not just awkwardly give him some change, but try to make some honest person to person small talk with him? Maybe it's his own fault, maybe it was circumstances beyond his control, but that it doesn't matter, he is still really no different than you.

That's just one example and I'm rambling, but I'm telling you, there is love to be experienced everywhere you look.

Love something you make up when the intercourse isn't good, or becomes laborius.
(just throwing some original insight in there).

To open the door for love to enter, you risk all other emotions getting in... and out.

i don't think love is something we ever truly understand... it's a lot like hate in a strange sort of way...

love and hate are both:
blind,
something you can get lost in,
something that will make you lose yourself.

love is like strong sugared coffee with no creamer... bittersweet.

helz yes.

Love Is Awesomeness. It is like a round-house kick to the brain, but in a good way, everytime you look at this person. It's a rush similar to, and better than, cocaine. It's like a grenade of happy exploding in your face and blowing your teeth of unhappy clear out your head!
