T/F: people in intimate relationships share a non-local field of psyche
Request: Almost like a telepathic / intuitive relationship?
Love
statement: no sin is possible
Love doesn't perceive sin. Priority request.
level: recognition of the divine in another person
To love is to see divinity in all its forms.
holding hands
Request: I feel wonderful when I hold hands with someone.
exclusive love
Request: Defined as only loving your family or close friends, and maybe people who seem to have value to you. A way of being. All others are excluded and made into strangers. This seems instinctual, like a wolf perhaps, but many humans seem to do it.
doing creative work, as a spiritual practice
Priority request: writing, making art etc., with a spiritual intention.
"God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them"
Priority request. Genesis 1:27.
statement: loving others is no substitute for loving yourself
Loving others is heart-based, while loving yourself is thymus-based. As the heart dimension is nested within the thymus dimension, loving others serves the highest good only in the context of loving yourself. (The highest good includes you!)
statement: the intellect can never know Love
The intellect is fundamentally incapable of discerning the true nature of Love over 500.
rejecting romantic advances
Request: When somebody has good intentions, but your are not feeling it. Leaves a bad aftertaste.
"Baby I Love your Way" – Peter Frampton
Comment on YouTube: "This song, in my humble opinion, is quite possibly the finest moment the 70s ever produced."
statement: to love is to witness
Request: One of the flying fish from this morning's contemplation.
statement: everyone deserves Gods love
A heart orientation motivated by love.
level: having overcome defensiveness
Request: in overt and very subtle ways.
level: no longer experiencing grief when someone dies
Also calibrated: level at which one no longer feels grief about romantic relationships...
