how is it limited? I mean without thinking about emotion at all, every kind of love is service, or at least I would think it should be. If you love someone else, you look out for them right? If you really love someone you try to recognize and meet their needs, that's what parents and offspring do, that's what men and women do, that's what friends do. Even people who love themselves serve themselves. The whole thing I wanted to emphasize is that love while I think is accompanied by some sort of emotion does not hinge wholly on the feeling.
Maybe instead of humans becoming love itself they will become more effective at performing the action?
You continue to fully view love as purely an emotion, something intangible and undescribable, yet you are "doing your best" to describe it.
Try and think of all of these emotions you feel as solid things. Just because it isn't "solid" (tangible) in our world, does not mean that love is not something which can manifest in the astral plains, and/or in your dreams.
it is important you not limit your thoughts to the realm of the physical, otherwise you will be trapped there.
oh, ok thank you for explaining. I thought I came across as love being an action, though, I'm a little against the idea of it purely being emotion, because then I can say "I love you" as much as I want and be a pretty useless individual. Feelings have to have some kind of action accompanying them, right?
I very much believe in the existence of a spiritual realm and that humans are spirtual beings living in physical shells. The old phrase "God is Love" shows that people have associated love with spirituality for a while. I think that the physical and the spiritual are closely intertwined, what moves the spirit moves the body in the real world, and what happens to the physical body conversely affects the spirit. That's just what I think though.
