ku'el, I like your definition of love. But if you have to be happy with x to love, does that mean you need an x? What about feeling love as a basic state of being, with no object?
@nownow and wolfgang: In reality, I agree with what you say. Have you read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle? He says the same thing, about releasing dualistic feelings to reach a pure state of love and inner peace, and I've found his methods highly effective.
It's just that I'm still trying to figure out how to relate that state (which I am in the chaotic process of trying to anchor) to the LoA. It's not really something Steve's articles account for - the essence of Tolle's teachings is passive in that you learn to accept whatever comes without judgment (including your feelings, thereby releasing them), and yet what I know of intention-manifestation presupposes a very active desire to manifest something.
Wolfgang, you seem to be thinking along very similar lines to me. Are you going through an analogous process?  |
