| Anarchy's about love and peace. Not chaos, destruction and hate. |
I'm going to explain quickly and concisely in this post what love is, to the best of my holistic understanding.
Understanding love is fundamentally
going to require a holistic perspective, or at least an open mind. This is actually considered 'lunatic fringe' by those who don't give it a proper chance or interpret it right. But in my experience, those who gave it reasonable listen admit it's more sane and logical than ordinary explanations for it coming from either religion or science.

Through others' ideas and experiences, the findings in quantum physics, speeches from David Icke and Bill Hicks, near-death experiences (NDEs), logical deduction, and the whole-minded observance of my emotions and others' over several years, I've concluded there's only
two emotions we ever really feel -
fear and
love. Apathy sits neutrally between them, while all other emotions derive from those two polarities more or less - anger, hatred, jealousy, greed, impatience and sadness being fear-derivatives, each being a fear of something different. Meanwhile, happiness, joy, bliss, tranquility, kindness and general feelings of peace are love-derivatives. What separates anger from hatred would be the way in which those forms of fear are expressed, just as someone can be joyously blissful as opposed to simply being meditatively tranquil, both being forms of the same love, just...
expressed differently. If you're reading this post from
'What is love, anyway?'... doesn't that sound familiar?
You wouldn't know it if you didn't observe your own feelings intently as I and many others of this understanding have, watching how they rise and fall in response to various thoughts and other stimuli. Emotions work on a wavelength, love being the higher frequency with more energy, and apparently affects DNA directly by uncoiling it and activating more genes which are otherwise shut off along with a degree of our mental capacity when we experience fear in any of its various forms - hence the idea that only 5% of our DNA is scientifically-reported to be 'useful' while only 10% of our brains' capacities are typically used on a daily basis. There's room to expand, and conscious focus and wavelength is how to unlock the rest. Surely, you've wondered, like me, why we can't seem access the full brain, or all the memories it supposedly stores in subconscious.
Fear only describes the
absence of love - just as darkness is the absence of light, and cold is the absence of heat. Everything works on a duality - presences and absences. In a way, you could say love (including its derivatives) is the only true emotion we experience.

Purpose of life? Unconditional love.
"How am I supposed to love if I don't know what it is exactly?" Love is everything that feels right. Love is your conscience, kindness, and acceptance - while fear is rejection. To accept what comes to you in life is to love; to reject it is a characteristic of being afraid - each fear-derivative emotion being a fear of something different. There are different ways of expressing love - it's not
always as simple as running outside and giving away all of it to everyone. In a perfect world, we could easily do it like that, but this is a world where we have to go through
fear and
left-brained mechanics to somehow get a
loving, right-brained message across to people to bring them up out of a materialistic prison as part of the human experience. An example would be, say... music. I'm a rap artist too.
Moreover, love is actually the energy that forms what we are - consciousness. Consciousness is not only the ability to be aware, but it synonymously describes the range of emotional frequency on which we exist. Lower wavelengths (fear) cause us to feel retracted with a narrowed perception. I'm sure you can recall moments when you experienced negative emotions and couldn't seem to do anything right or think straight, while in moments of positive emotion you seemed to be capable of things you never thought you could do, or your 'luck' just seemed to always play in your favor. This is because what we call 'God', or 'the source', or 'collective consciousness' as you may've heard it called, is actually what we
are, and so we create reality around us just by the very weight of our own emotional intentions. God is consciousness, which is basically love, and love's the energy of creation, which also means we're creation itself. We individually have the capacity to alter reality through the intentions we generate through free will, generated by consciousness, which is raised by the wavelength of our emotions, which is raised by the wavelength of our intentions, generated by free will which expands with greater consciousness, and so forth, progressing up/down the 'spiral staircase' as I refer to it.
That was a complicated garbled bit, to let me graph it out simply for you to understand.
Creation, which is formed by
consciousness, which is what
'God' is, in the simplest explanation. In other words, we
are consciousness, therefore we are
God, therefore we are
creation - meaning, we are in everything. If you've ever heard the phrases,
"God is in everything," and
"We are one," and
"We are all part of a collective consciousness or pool of knowledge," these apply fully to what I'm describing here.
This has nothing to do with the scrambled version of 'God' in religious texts, although the basic ideas remain true - infinitely, eternally, unconditionally loving, accepting and forgiving.
| Spiral Staircase Effect | Consciousness » Free Will » Intent » Emotions » Consciousness... (Repeat) |
...We are
consciousness (God). From that, we become aware, and thus can produce the
choice to intend. We can have loving or fearful
intentions, which variably cause our
emotions to flux into fear or love. As our emotional wavelength fluctuates, our
consciousness becomes more open or closed, depending on the emotion. As our consciousness opens up (from loving intentions producing loving emotions,) we have a wider array of choices to make from free will, which gives us a greater capacity for intention, which causes a greater effect on emotions, opening our consciousness up more.

I make it sound absurdly simple, but the reality is... it can be as complex as you wish to make it. Complexity's beautiful too. I've heard people argue,
"Emotions aren't as black-and-white as just fear and love." I understand their viewpoint, but they're not 'getting it'. 'Emotions' aren't just as simple as 'emotions' - there's also fear and love, and from there we have everything those two break down to and different expressions of each. Quite complicated indeed when you get past the semantic barriers like the simple word 'emotion', or 'love', or 'fear'. Those are just words. What they
stand for... is much more.
The Law of Attraction doesn't dictate opposites attract - it's referring to the fact that the wavelength of intent you project influences the energy wavelength of everything around you, causing that which you project to return to you in similar form... otherwise known as
'karma'. 'Karma' isn't a nebulous rule created to
punish or
reward people for raw actions. It's an actual, logical system of science meeting spirituality explaining how reality works. Pertaining to the energy we give off, you've probably heard of people who can feel energy off others, like an aura, or maybe at times you've felt a negative or positive vibe off someone with no apparent physical explanation for it. That's also part of this, but that involves you doing your part and being open enough to receive that energy and understand it.
A lot of people say,
"The Law of Attraction's bullshit. My thoughts haven't affected any-fucking-thing in my life at all." Because your thoughts are just electrical impulses in the brain. It's not an integral part of who you fundamentally are, which is consciousness, creation, God, and love. Those four, being synonymous, refer to your capability to be aware, produce free choices, make intentions, and feel emotions - those are all part of the fundamental existence transcending this illusory reality, and because of that, they allow you to do such things as influence the energy which forms the illusory physical reality around you. Thoughts, on the other hand, are only a
part of that illusory reality.
Think of yourself as a programmer. The computer can only do what it's programmed to do within its code's contained limitations. You, meanwhile, are outside of those limitations - and you can alter those limitations, thus.
Know something here:
this is spirituality, not religion. (The difference between religion and spirituality...) I suspect there's truth in religious texts, but it's not as we commonly perceive it, which is the part I'm calling bullshit on. Nobody judges you but you. I'll bet if you looked within yourself now, you'll find an indignant outcry to the idea that some deity should tell you who you are and decide how you should be. I struggled with that too often myself until years of experience and searching started coming together over months to begin making sense to me.
It always bothered me to see people say - especially right to my face - that nobody in the world understands love or knows what it is. Even the people who've felt true, unconditional love.
"Nobody gets it, nobody will." Seven billion human beings on this planet from massively variable walks of life, and an average Harrisonburg college alcoholic's telling me
nobody in the world understands. Sometimes, I'm not proud to be human...

For most people, many of their own thoughts don't really belong to them. Much of what we
think we know is only echoed from what someone else reflected on us from another source, usually tracing back to some form of mainstream media. That's how we're raised. We're brought up to obediently accept what we're taught without question, which is astonishingly, and... not coincidentally via
left-brained indoctrination. Most think it's an accident; I'm a proponent of the stance supporting it's
deliberate. Nearly all of what we're taught in school, if not everything outright, is taught on the basis of,
"This exists because we can perceive it physically." It's not the teachers' faults, it's the big guns running the public education system, which traces back to our government, which sits in the back pockets of a few large companies and ultrawealthy families who have something to gain out of manipulating the very habitual thought process of each human being in the country, continent, and even the world.

Because of this
left-brain focus, we're narrowed out of
right-brain understanding, which shuts us down to our spiritual, emotional, artistic side, that part of us that allows us to feel true happiness, and laugh, love, and feel inspired. These don't originate in the brain itself, but the
right brain is specifically-purposed to process this type of informational input from conscious intent while we're manifested in these bodies.
And because of this mental trend, few understand spirituality, God, emotions, or... love.
"But scientists discovered the chemical formula for love, so everything you're telling us has to be false..." It's not unreasonable to think chemicals are what cause our emotions, but it's actually the reverse - our emotions cause the chemicals. The signals are sent from the spirit to the body which it's connected, which allows us to manifest and consciously perceive while in these bodies. The body reacts to those signals and their frequencies by releasing chemicals and opening or closing genes, and other various reactions. Take for instance, anger. Being angry sends a particular signal to the body which, after processing through the brain, manifests as increased blood pressure and muscle tension, which leads to things like a red face, shaking-with-anger, furrowed eyebrows, and such.
I'm convinced emotions aren't a part of the body because they seem to function completely independent of it while always directly related to my consciousness, intentions, willpower, and any 'spiritual' experiences I have. I honestly can't recall a moment where my emotions weren't what they were as a result of my own choices - even when, through medicine or other means, my brain's functionality was inhibited. My emotions were never apparently tethered to brain function.
Believe it or not, I go out of my way to prove myself wrong or find any reason to think these theories are inconsistent. After several years, I've yet to find any. But I still look... to be sure.
While the purpose of life may be to unconditionally love, it should be noted love can be expressed any number of ways, including through the career some make for themselves. As a doctor, you may express it through treating and saving lives, as a journalist, you may do it through interviewing others to discover answers for the whole, or as a musician or rap artist, you might express it to inspire and inform others about it. It doesn't have to be simply saying,
"I love you."
It is whatever you wish it to be... just love. Unconditionally. But don't suppress negative emotions. They're there for a reason, and they're part of you. Accept them like you'd accept any positive emotion. It may seem plausible to remain within a state of love at all times, but that's not the case. It's just like how you'd positively treat a mistake; instead of getting angry and giving up, you accept it, learn from it, and keep going. That's part of what love's about.
From here, go back to
'What is love, anyway?' and (re-)read that post with the understandings you've made here and see how differently you interpret it then. And those questions, asking how love deprivation can kill someone, or why people commit suicide without it, or how it can cure 'incurable' diseases or prevent injury or illness... start to look less perplexing.
