Thinking love, not feeling it

[kristina]

You might use this time to search inside yourself and ask, "What do I truly love?"  This manner of seeking could be quite profitable.

Also, you might do the same but differentiating between what you would most dearly give love to from that which you would seek it from.

I can't agree. My knowing right now is that love is what we ARE, no need to seek it from anything or anybody and it's impossible to determine "What do I truly love?" because love creates everything from itself and loves everything equally. What is excluding anybody or anything isn't love.

What @breakingties is speaking about is attachment in my current understanding. And, with spiritual maturity, we are getting liberated from that naturally.

I guess I understood Peregrine differently here. I think to focus, let's say, love upon my roses doesn't mean I don't love my wild geraniums. I love them both but I may focus my energy on the roses for a moment to ask myself why do I love them so much? As if I am exploring ideas, concepts, emotions, etc....human stuff. If I want to explore why I feel I cannot love, I may turn to an opposite which is something that I know I do love and try to understand from that perspective.
I also understand what you are saying Rita as love is self generating and needs nothing to explain it, to compare it, to feel it to seek it as it is already there without the seeking. However, I think when someone is feeling a certain way it deserves further investigation and attention.

Sure. Only calling all kinds of different experiences "love" creates lots of confusion.

I'd distinguish between having a special emotional connection to something or someone, having a specific preference for a shorter or longer while etc. etc. Those are all parts of the human experience and absolutely legitimate.

By calling those love and seeing love as an emotion only clouds the truth about what love really is: the only true reality, the creative source of all experiences etc. etc.

But, as always, that's just how this entity sees it at the moment

It seems fairly obvious to me that a lot of seekers of truth experience the question, what is love? You are absolutely correct in you understanding because it is mine too. This seeker may be experiencing the first stages of discovering that love isn't what it thought it was! I feel we have to go through "this" to get to "that". So, we first question ourselves and our intentions with other selves.
