Different Kinds of Love

[BrownEye]

The concept of love is a very complicated one, whereas the essence of it is not. Many cultures have multiple words for all the different kinds of love that there are.

In the English language, the word “love” can refer to such a plethora of experiences it is almost dizzying. It can be the word used to represent feeling states, attitudes, pleasures, or strong affections felt for any number of things from romantic attachments to sexual attachments to platonic attachments. This practice of using one term to cover a wide variety of definitions, as well as complex emotional states, is partly responsible for the confusion most people alive today have with regards to the idea of love.

It is perhaps then a beneficial thing to introduce you to the way the universe at large sees love. Yet again, it is a feeling space rather than a cerebral concept, therefore it is an experience rather than an intellectualization, so using words to explain it is difficult.

To Source and therefore your transcendental, eternal self, love is not just an emotion or a virtue. It is the basis for all physical and non physical being. It is the profound feeling space of total and complete oneness. Because Source is constantly in the reality of oneness, it is in the state of constant, unconditional love. It would therefore be accurate to say that love is the exact energetic vibration of Source itself.

Because we are in the space in this three dimensional reality of separateness, unconditional love is a feeling space, it is a mental attitude, it is a decision we make and most importantly it is a skill to be developed.

Love is not something that either exists in us towards ourselves and others, or it doesn’t. Loving is something we learn to do. Loving unconditionally is a lifelong practice. All things created, were created from love to love.
