@skooookum This is why understanding the distinction between what’s perception vs what’s truthful, and how each looks, is very important. Most books are empty perceptions.. Words can carry people far in the wrong direction.
That’s why that’s all I care to talk about 90% of the time.
“If you are able to enjoy the simple things of life, such as the sound of the rain or the wind, if you can see the beauty of the clouds moving across the sky, or be alone at times without feeling lonely or needing the mental stimulus of entertainment, if you can treat a complete stranger with sincere kindness without wanting anything from him, it is because a space has opened up in the incessant stream of thought that is the human mind.”
- Eckhart Tolle
It’s easy to find that when you are enchanted by something, you’ll see that you can do anything, in any setting, with zero conflict
And it’s not the thing that is enchanting, but your relationship to it—and, at once, immediately, all conflict ceases
I don’t think it’s wise to subjugate “love” by merely defining it as a relationship between two people, but that both people are “love” itself and they continuously dance with one another
