Default How to Be Love?
In the tread "Be Love", folks are attempting to be Love and reporting their experiences with said doingness. A discussion as to what it actually means to do that is apparently off topic for that thread and not allowed, so the question here is, what does it actually mean to engage in this practice of being Love, and how does one know when one has accomplished this feat?

Congratulations!

For me being love is being ridiculed, used, abused, ignored and blind so I stopped.

Yes, you can also be objects. I'm currently a slice of pepperoni.

I can see how that might happen. As I said on the other thread, what folks are trying to be is their idea about love, and so what is experienced is the idea, which is not Love. If you were to expand your idea of love to include yourself, the stuff above would not happen. That doesn't imply that you would be successful at causing yourself to be Love, but you would succeed at being your new idea of love. This is the game they're playing on the other thread, and it's much more interesting when you know the rules.

Nope, but since the person is an idea, it can seem to DO an idea, and can't actually do anything else.

LOL, wow. Magic happens all the time. We just have to open our minds to it.

Being Love is that way. If you open your mind to greater and greater expressions of love, to more and more people, eventually you'll reach a point where there's nothing in your life that isn't love.

It's just about Arcanum's burnt pizza. Nothing spiritual.

Well, the mundane Reefs just sees a burnt pizza, but the spiritual Vince blows it all out of proportions and turns that burnt pizza into a distant vision of greater love expressing people reaching a point where a burnt pizza is pure love life.

Blinded by smoke. FYI the pizza IS love (as is everything else).

Yeah, what a smoke. Already reached the other side of the world. Will have to wait for the next typhoon season to blow it all away... And all because of Chris who LOA'd to late to Arcanum.

See, I thought you didn't care for I/M because you felt it was a waste of time, expending effort when the goal was not to expend effort. Now I find out you just don't believe it could happen. Which is a shame, all you'd have to do to rectify that is to give it a try some time.

Of course, that would require work to temporarily unload your disbelief. Oooh, torture. Break out the whips and chains.

But you never will, because you don't see how you're 'efforting' to create disbelief. You're creating failure with your very thoughts, creating separation between you and the people you look down on.

And you don't want to realize that you're efforting far harder than the I/Mers ever will.
