Definition of love

[IndigoSalvia]

I stumbled onto it via two directions:

1. Pondering social causes, quality, lack of discrimination, I realized that the most important point is to simply support everyone to experience life as they see fit, an ultimate cause a la Buddhism or Service-to-Others and the universe
   
2. Experimenting with specific inspired well-wishing for certain kinds of bliss that are fun to imaginatively offer, realizing that, hey, if they don't want this, maybe I'd love to wish for the fulfillment of their other desires, needs, fantasies, and dreams for the highest good and with divine balance (and if they don't accept any of these warm-wishes, may the energy go where it's welcome and appreciated).  Refining a rather particular metta-wish and noticing the subtle differences in feeling was interesting.
   

Eventually it hit me that, doh, this is essentially a view/distortion of universal love: the wish for everyone to experience life as they see fit.

This seems to fit with the primary distortion of free will -- the law of confusion. 

For while I can support you, I cannot know for you how you want to and choose to experience existence.

Thank you, zaramareis. 

As we are all on (seemingly) unique journeys encountering unique catalyst, I think of universal, unconditional Love as a one-size-fits-all love.

It's intelligent, it's infinite and boundless. It far surpasses my human ability to love. 

It seems to me that if we can channel Love/Light and radiate this from ourselves, then L/L will do the rest of the work, so to speak. Because as you say, "I cannot know for you how you want to and choose to experience existence." I cannot know, nor is it necessary when working with L/L, for me to try to understand what other entities and this planet need, can use, resonate with ... 

If/when I am able, I let the L/L flow through me, as a conduit, and then it will do as it deems fit. 

Recently, I have been considering my own ability to love (my history with loving), and found that most often, I am capable of what I call human love, in many flavors. 

On a few occasions, which are utterly blissful and invigorating for me, I believe a wee little bit of L/L flowed through me and radiated from me. It felt like my own 3D MBS took the backseat and I was just along for the ride.

I have been considering love (lower case, my own human capacity) and Love (universal, unconditional). My sense - for now - is that when I (self) step out of the way a bit, and let L/L flow through me, it does the rest of the work and I can simply be present.
