Lets talk about love.

Purge your mind of whatever you're thinking and just go into the first thought of "love". What it means to you, what someone means to you, a idea, something... it doesn't matter and if I didn't say something that brings up love then whatever dealing with love in your mind will do.
Don't read anyone else's post. Just this and write whatever about love. It's all subjective.

Love, it is an outstanding word. I used to love a girl before I joined the Marines. She ended up meeting someone else and I ended up going to Iraq. I still think about her. I thought we were going to get married. Turns out she married that someone else. Good for her, I am glad she is happy. I know she was scared to marry someone who could end up dying.... knowing I was going to end up in the sandbox. Now I am back home, and how things have changed. I would like to meet someone, but I dont know how.

I used to think love was silly, a trip, something i didnt need. I thought the talk about needing someone else was just weakness, and a true warrior, a true sage, would be complete and whole onto himself, and would love all things and himself and god equally and that would be enough.
THen i met this person, and was instantly infatuated. then i actually touched this person, and i felt like 100 wats of electricity was flowing through my body. I was floored. this was unlike anything id ever known. I went into a nearby room and prayed, i said "what the fuck was that?!!?!?!"
all i knew was it was the start of something big.
Weve been together for 8 months now and to be with this person is to be happy. Not even happy, in love. Its like E without the sketchyness, like perfect friendship, like constant sex even when your clothes are on. Total intimacy, total trust. When were not fucking were like best friends, and when we are were like best friends fucking.
But more to the point this person speaks me language. She taught me so much about the meaning of life, the universe and everything, and as much as she shares most of my interests, in other ways shes my opposite, she keeps me grounded, she fills in the blanks in my mind. We mutually fuel each others growth. we draw on each other for energy and we strive to higher hieghts to impress one another.
Now i know what its like to have two wings. Its like, when your on your own, your accountable only to yourself, you judge everything by your own standard, and you decieve yoruself about alot. With an honest lover, you call each other lovingly on your BS. You know each others strengths and weaknesses and you help each other in all things.
When you have someone like that, it is a constant comfort , even if they are on the other side of the globe. Hving a soulmate is an introduction to love and it shows us the highest energy available, it shows us the way.
Now the key is to open our hearts and souls so we love every atom of mind/matter with that same unconditional intensity.
Love is the substance, the fuel. We are created in love, sustained by love and flowing in love to greater love.
The sea refuses no river.
I love you all.
Peace

the feeling of love is a chemical released into your body.. but what makes you brain release that chemical is love.

a mind purged of impurities has nothing in particular to do other than gaze at what is truely seen, rather than through the biased lense.
in this way you look kind of like that guys avatar of 2000 a space oddysey....... you are deeply humbled and moved and interactions with you and the world are not much different than variations of interactions between you and yourself, because you realize intuitively without philosifying the interconnectedness and codepdence of you and every single thing on your planet and especially in your day to day connections.
by default we filter out. without filtering we remove the barriers that keeps us from our true selves, and when approaching this nature, it is natural to likewise be much closer to the external world.
and when people talk and move its almost like they talk and move from you, and you understand "why" they may not be happy, or why they inhabit certain traits, and it's almost like a complete storybook lesson for you to learn, as if they reflect different aspects of your own psyche that you should know oh too well.
it becomes easy to shoot them a smile.
or easier.
love focused onto an item, or a specific individual i have substantally less experience with. it can be construed even frightening. there is one woman i've come to love, but have not expressed it to her. i hope for that to change, but this hope is not with much attachment.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

"I thought the talk about needing someone else was just weakness, and a true warrior, a true sage, would be complete and whole onto himself"
Your first assumption was more correct. A true positive relationship is based on people who are independant and strong...not weak and needy. One must be careful that a relationship does not degrade into co-dependancy. Only those who are complete within theirselves are truly mentally fit for a long term, healthy relationship...at least that is the ideal as far as I am concerned. Love does not require the presence of others....all of the love you will ever require is contained within the self. Once one understands unconditional acceptance of the self and others they will be able to access that love. Clinging will not only lead to loss of personal fulfillment, it will cause your relationships to be unhappy or ultimately fail.
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Love to me means connection. I look at it from the romantic perspective. It's simply just having that person there makes you happy. You don't need anything else. The feeling is the exact same. You know each other so well and the only thing both of you need is to be together. No matter what happens, true love will last forever and will never loose its spark. To me, love is the ultimate goal of my existence here.

Love is what I thought I lived for. I had always sought a deep connection with females since I discovered their difference from myself. There's something supernatural about those feelings that accompany being in love, and the way you act around someone you truly love. Love has been the purest moment in my life and at times the most heart wrenching moment in my life, yet I still seek it.
I've only ever truly loved two women in my life. By that I mean I feel we've truly connected on every level, and I would have given my life for them in the time of need. I don't understand why they left but I know that each time it happens I lose a little more faith in true love. I hope someday that one woman will stay...

Love is something that is already there, it's behind every being. It's the connection, you just have to learn how to see into the deep ocean as opposed to seeing the surface and assuming it is only 3 ft. deep! Tune into the love frequency, and suddenly you don't have to try to love your "enemies," because when it comes down to it human thought and interaction mean very little when it comes to love.

love love love is something I chased and lost sight of... chased it again and again and still couldn't corral it. searched many years and never found it. Even when I thought I did.
then I had a change of perspective and ther it was... right in front of me, untouchable, certainly definable but definitely not waht I had been searching for

I'm a wanderer and for the longest time I've wandered around looking for the right spot, place, person, friends, etc...
I thought I knew what "love" was but I didn't. Young n dumb so the saying goes. And then one day as I was wandering about I stopped and sat down. Love was all around. I talked to random people instead of those I previously knew... there was love. I help a friend move and he helps me without me asking... love. I approached a girl and there was nothing but a hello and a night where nothing else needed to be said... love. A stranger asks if I need any help with my broken down car... love.
It's everywhere and to not aknowledge it is a depressing idea. To see something about to fall and catch them. Letting go of all inhibitions/social norms and not holding back... is love.
