What is love? Baby don't hurt me.

^^^you say it like there's something wrong with thinking that way

we are all made of the same protons, neutrons and electrons

 

Interesting neo. I like it. Don't know why you said that about "none on this board." May be true, but still kind of unnecessary.

Let all things come and go with ease is important. So yeah some negative feelings that surface may be justified, yet it is quite obvious it is not healthy to thrive on such feelings. Simple shit.

Also about the ego. Yeah we don't rid ourselves of the space in our thinking that is our "ego." Yet when we have these ego death experiences all attachment to it dies. What was your ego won't be anymore. This is mostly material attachments as well as self righteous thinking. We replace the ego with important things....maybe love?

Lovvviiing... is what we got.. i said remember that! oooooh oooh!

You don't have to the cure the world of starvation to love. You just gotta show compassion in the herenow, you got to give as much love as you can just from your heart. When a bum walks up to you on the street and asks for some change, give some change, give a hug, look him in the eyes and tell him its good to have met him, give hope to someone. Thats what matters! World peace means nothing unless you can be at peace with your own friends and neighbors.

The buddha once had a disciple who asked about compassion. He said to buddha, "I can love everyone in the world, I will give to everyone in the world, except my neighbor. My neighbor is a terrible, terrible man, I can not give him my love, he is despicable"

The buddha said, "Then forget the whole world, you will learn to love only your neighbor, work on loving him, and let the rest of the world vanish. Only then can you start to have compassion for everything"

The disciple was confused, "You mean to tell me I have to love fully the one man I hate, these seems impossible."

Really it is the hardest to love your neighbor, the rest of the world is far away, you can see that they are just trying to be people like you, you Love them for that. Your neighbor is right there, he is not trying to just be like you, he called you a name on time, and hes loud at night, and you don't like the way he talks. All these mind sets are blocking the love, learn how to love your deepest enemy, and you can love anyone.

Whenever I trip it reminds to express my love towards my close friends and family. It wants me to expand the relationships I already have, rather then make new ones. It always reminds me that my girlfriend, my yoga class, and this website are my two biggest outlets for expression. It always is telling, make the pool deeper, before it is made wider.

 

girlfriend + yoga class + this website = three outlets, not two.

 

I love myself the most of course, because without myself I wouldn't be able to experience EVERYTHING. Hopefully that shows how much I love everything. There are alot of people that shouldn't be alive though of course.

 

Can't argue with that! But still, my very strong preference is for the latter. As you know, I was saying that I would rather be gentle and loving than harsh and irritable. And that I'm a work in progress - and progressing (with some backsliding). My karma was to be an angry, mean-spirited man. Acid and a good wife and my own turning toward the light changed that.

And yes, inthydreams, this website and the way people here BE is important to me also. I'm grateful for that.

 

I am grateful things have improved for you.
