Quotes I Love

[AnthroHeart]

But how does the love we send affect others? Does it somehow interact with their aura? Or their field?

Auras and other metaphysical "fields" are merely ways that we virtualize or translate spiritual or vibrational energy. It is almost like a metaphor or symbol for our minds to understand energy patternizations in a coherent and linear way. In a lot of ways, its almost better to think of our spiritual energy field as more of an non-local "information field". That information field can be translated in a variety of ways, and no visualization or virtualization is necessarily "inaccurate". But just understand there is a translation process going on there.

In general, the "love" you send others simply activates the love that is in them, if there is love within them (some people have closed their heart centers deliberately). When you think loving thoughts toward others, it is generally reflected back towards you, meaning, they will be subconsciously inclined to think loving thoughts back towards you. When you think of others, they are aware of it, but for most people it is on a subconscious level. It is actually a lot like talking to someone physically. If you talk to someone casually, they will generally respond casually back.  If you respond to someone angrily, they will usually respond angrily back. When you talk to someone in a genuinely loving way (genuine appreciation rather than a desire to change them in some way), they will generally express that sincere appreciation back. This is true of the subconscious metaphysical dialog as well.  

On the conscious level, they will most likely just find you interesting and feel like they can trust you, but they don't really know why. The relationship just "clicks". Instant friendships are essentially what happens when two peoples' subconscious minds are infatuated with each other (complimentary energies interacting).

Learn to love and forgive yourself first. It's difficult to find loving feelings for another, that you don't feel for yourself.
Usually, feelings born out of a need to fill a perceived lack, are counterfeit.
The fastest - and I believe only - way to true love, is to balance yourself and then naturally attract another who resonates.
