personally I think it's largely your own feeling of love, if love differs. For me, it would be sort of feeling on the interconnectedness and equality of *everything* - everyone and every being is your brother/sister, and etc

My definition of love in it's common usage:

An illusioned state of mutual importance between yourself and another of the opposite gender - one who's genetics are favoured for reproduction based upon self desires.

My definition of universal love, to which you were implying:

More of an appreciation and respect towards everything existent. As well, subjectively good intentions with little to no benefit for oneself. This is the true type of "love", in my view.

I go on memory of times where I felt profound emotional warmth, closeness in relating, compassion, appreciation, caring concern, awe of the beauty in things, deep respect and admiration for something.

I would summon all of those feelings up through memory and then grab up the whole of all existance and pull it in to that feeling.

Have yourself rise above all of the BS and just realize the divine spark deep within it all, behind the masks, costumes, charades, and shadows. Don't allow for yourself to acknowledge any negative feelings for any part of life. Feel as if it doesn't actually exist in the truth of love.
