    I think that's not far from the truth. If there's something else there by the time it wears off (friendship, partnership, shared goals and interests, etc.) then you keep going together. If there isn't, the relationship falls apart. ALL romantic love eventually sputters and dies, though it might flare up again now and then (it's not uncommon to repeatedly "fall in love" with a longterm partner). The thing that REALLY lasts is the love that is NOT fueled by "romance" and sexual attraction (not that I'm knocking sexual attraction *ahem*).

    *nodnod* Yup. That makes good sense, at least to me. The thing about poeple is that everything we do is filtered by our human ego (no matter how much we wish it were otherwise), so no relationship is going to be "pure love" all the time.
    May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.

    As far as I'm concerned, there is only Love. There aren't any "types" of Love. The energy of Love is the same. The Unconditional Love I feel for a partner, my relatives and my friends is basically the same. I just express it in different ways, depending on the person and my relationship with them. Conditional love is not Love. It comes from the ego. Unconditional Love has nothing to do with the ego.

    Which is what I was trying to say way up there.

    Yes it is! The sad part is very few people feel this way...

    Just my opinion, obviously.
    I agree with CFT

    Probably, right.You can combine emotions too. Love and confusion, a very strange combo. Love and joy, love and ecstasy, love and happiness, love and greed. When combined the combo kind of takes on its own unique quality.

    Unconditional love, another one of those words that sounds nice but makes me irky, you can't define it with just one word, love is defined better through by experience. From my experience love doesn't just happen unconditionally. For example if you are preoccupied so much with greed or fear or confusion that you just can't tear yourself away from them, the amount of space you have for giving and receiving love can be pretty limited. The negative emotions themselves aren't bad, it is letting the negative emotions encompass you that can prevent you from experiencing love.This leads me to think that there are conditions to experiencing love.

    What are some conditions for experiencing pure love? Some say a mind that is clear and clean and accepting of yourself and others, the good and the bad.

    Try this out for yourself. Compare how your capacity to give and receive love is when you are stressed and preoccupied versus when you are not.

It's ironic in that you are the universe experiencing itself And all you are is a thought.

    lol, i knew i was going to see that response at some point.


    It's fun and rewarding exploring the conditions for experiencing love. I have found that my understanding has changed or evolved over time by examining what the conditions are.
