Do you even know what love is?

January 2, 2008

True LoveTo love has to do with having interest, caring, dedicating, promoting, letting grow, protecting, and strengthening. Love goes together with living spirit. Love also has a lot to do with authenticity and truthfulness, with understanding and indulgence for all human difficulties. Many people don’t do this with their psychical life, with their real life, and neither with the earth. The reality shows us: People realize very little love.

  1. Love is a many-sided creative force of life. Love gives meaning, quality, and value to life.
  2. Love makes life worth living and rich. Love is the key to a lot of apparently unsolvable situations.
  3. Love is much more than just a feeling. Love is a complex performance. Pure love is a rarity on earth!
  4. Love without reasoning (thinking) has little chance of performing something stable in real life.
  5. Love without spirit is structure-less and has no inner roots. How can you live love without contemplating?
  6. Love demands observing with concentration and clear view the inner and external world.
  7. Love presupposes a will to act. Living love means to look precisely at the genuine inner needs.
  8. Love in a raw state is archaic, instinctive, nothing more than a physiological social pattern.
  9. Love is powerless and unstable if your unconscious is full of suppressed traumas and unsolved conflicts.
  10. Love operates for one’s own psychical life, for the psychical life of the partner, and for living together.

How can a person love others if he doesn’t love himself? How is it possible to care for the needs of others, if the person rejects and suppresses his own basic needs on a daily basis? How can a person disrespect his own feelings, but protect and promote the feelings of others carefully? How can people express spirit in their life, but disregard the own inner spirit?
