Love is the only true emotion

[Figure-8]

All other emotions are gradients of the purest.

This is a statement, I'm not sure if it's enough to make a thread, although I believe it has potential for discussion.

The idea behind it is that love, or the experience of total unconditional acceptance is the most powerful energy in existence, is the common quality in all examples of life, and will cause evolution through self-reflection or realizing yourself through witnessing what you believe to be yourself and then realizing that you are more.

It get's into the complexity of emotions and how they work, and the brain and consciousness, but I think taking it in on an intuitive level is the basis for understanding it.

[Lman1578]

Im digging your vibe man. But anger is definitely an emotion. It can poison your thoughts as if you were sick, drunk, or on drugs. Just ask my sister.. shes fucked

weed is an emotion

Unconditional love is definately one of the most powerful and best emotions out there. I agree with your sentiment, but perhaps more importantly, I agree with Chunkanese.

Anger is perhaps the most powerful emotion out there. Many wars have been fought because one beligerant felt hatred for some reason or another.

Love has brought happiness to the few that see it's true potential.

[Figure-8]

It is true that anger is something you can feel, but let's look at where it takes you, in order to get the 4th dimensional view. Love takes you into bettering the quality of life in general for all beings. Anger is an energy that like love, can be directed into something, someone, or an action, yet it is usually one that degrades the perception and efficiency of any quality or process. Anger, when in entire control over a person's actions and mind, will destroy both that person and anyone in the vicinity.

What would happen if a person was entirely and completely over come by love.

Would they roll around like they were on E, hugging everyone?

Or would they sacrifice their own comfort in order to demonstrate that the world is not choosing to emanate love, when they could be doing so for free, and ultimately save the world.

Interesting? No?

It definitely has an aspect to it's character that seems personal and intuitive, like emotional energy. I believe it's the consciousness behind it.

All negative is due to anger.

But all good is due to love.

There is much more love, than anger, your body, brain, and consciousness is designed to detect love and to absorb and reflect it.

[Chavinist]

Love is infinite. Love is God.

"Love" is a cheapened term, and that's really unfortunate.

This dictionary definition of love is think doesn't give it it's proper due.

The word God alone is also meaningless.

It is what it is.

Self hypnosis is another term that might help us understand it more cleary and give it a name and structure, but we don't really know what that is.

Anger isn't inherently bad. Anger can be very constructive and positive, even healthy. You're thinking of hate. Anger isn't fear-based.

In related news, I'm blazed.

This is perhaps a reflection of your experience, but certainly not a reflection of human nature. There are a lot of people in the world that don't feel much love at all, we don't have to search very hard for examples.

[Frank]

Love isn't the only true emotion but it's definitely an emotion. Don't quote me on that.

Somebody doesn't understand biology.

"Love" doesn't exist, it's another word for attraction + affection.

I'm high too.

Hate is worse than anger in my eyes.

Hate will always yield negativity.

Although I agree with what you said about Anger. Although, as such, it is still a reaction, an effect of something, not an awareness about yourself.

I think only Love can produce that effect. While anger will allow you to see where you can improve. Love is like the culmination of how far you've gotten. I think eventually anger becomes an emotion that doesn't feel the same. Like control is shifted from the emotions to a center point, and the emotions simply become a temporary focal point.

Actually survival is the only true emotion.

although I agree, you have to admit that the human mind is far too complicated for us to fully understand, even with all our scientific knowledge (so far)

The love is in the situation. A worm eats dirt.

A worm lives in dirt.

THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN FOOD. They must be happy as shit.

No but seriously, LOVE is not the same as LOOOOOVEEEEEE, it's like apples and oranges.

What you call Love.

IS not NOT NOT love.

It's just a shadow, a rhyme or an indication of the idea of it.

True unconditional love, when felt the same way "love" is felt, usually kills you. It's too powerful, only glimpses through orgasms, psychedelia, meditation, awakening, dreams, spiritual experiences, or intellectual exertions.

The love is the energy holding the atoms of the earthworm together. The love is the same energy willing the very molecules of your existence to rotate and be energized. It's not "just happening".

Nothing "just happens".

It's all happens because something is planning something out for you. That is love. It's more so a mix of joker-type insanity, unnaturally natural omniscience, and an infinite reflection of life experiences.

Can't say something doesn't exist when it guides your life.

I think that's instinct.

[BastardLunatic]

So if love is an emotion how come you cant describe it like others?
If you are frighten, you feel fear, but what do you feel when loving?

[Name's Taken]

Be advised that love is lust announced.

Yeah I know what your saying but I think your referring more to pleasure than love. I'd come up with a better argument but I'm fucking tired

Survival is where they all come from.

You're on to something there ^.

You feel as if you are identifying with, or becoming related to what ever/whoever you're loving.

Infatuation is not love. Anything can become love though, because it is the beginning and end of all experience, the backbone of all desire and the substance of feeling.

Yes.

Take your time, it's difficult to grasp, but yes, this love can be the most painful thing you've ever experienced.

If it's purely good, and pleasurable, chances are it's a temporary perception not based on anything eternal.

Love > Everything

It's just that love can sometimes manifest itself through anger.

Also nice signature.

This is a common misconception, largely due to ignorance. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

KJV translates the Greek word "caritas" as "charity"--later translations say "love." Thus, many Christians confuse alm-giving with caritas. Other Greek words which may be translated as "love" are "eros"--that should be obvious--erotic or carnal love--and "agape"--which is more like the love one might have for one's neighbor--as in "Love thy neighbor as thyself."

The issue becomes still more clouded when you relaize that OP's statement is quite true in the realm of the absolute--the "place" you go when you attain unity consciousness, spiritual mastery--but it seems absurd for those of us "down" here in the everyday world, the realm of the relative.

When you come out of your drug-induced haze and can think clearly, you may change your mind.

Fact is, anger never serves us. Anger--and hate--are just two of the many masks that fear wears.

EVERY time you are angry, it is because of fear--either you are afraid you will lose something you already have, or you fear that you will not get something you desire.

I strongly agree with this.

[boostinkyboo]

This thread makes me want to set fire to a field of blooming flowers.

[Figure-8]

^ That's probably because the flowers have more intelligence than you.

But love is the sum total of all emotion.

[Ping Crosby]

love is a chemical imbalance.
(and the heart is just a muscle.)

Unfortunately the love we're talking about isn't 3rd dimension stuff like you think it is. Yes, neurons do fire and we are attracted to the opposite sex, but this thread isn't even remotely about that. It's about higher consciousness.

I repeat, this thread has *nothing* to do with biology. All this stuff is experienced in the soul, which goes far beyond what science knows about biology. Sure we know how cAMP influences protein kinases, but we humans sure as hell are naive enough to think we can quantify love as chemical signals.

When I die I will blush so badly on the other side for even thinking that a few years ago...

[Figure-8]

Thank you for sharing reinforcing beliefs.

For once you fucking say something I can actually think about.
