Honestly,
The post of Ocean's was understood by me to be a relay of a Ra discussion about how we can't serve others well if we first don't accept ourselves. This entire understanding by me came across from the simple sentence Ocean posted.
Your post to explain more depth about the use of the word love was understood by me to be Zenmaster's desire to bring out a better understanding and use of the word 'love'. My understanding was that you chose a quote that did not present your definition of 'love' in order to articulate your desire to detail your definition.
My post was to reconcile the two of my understandings of these two posts. I don't think Ocean was misusing the word 'love'. I also don't think that your defining of the word was misplaced. I do what I do![Wink Wink](https://www.bring4th.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.png)
It does not take acceptance to step into the unknown. It takes ignorance.

Likewise, in this post, I do not see your use of the word 'acceptance' in a 'correct' application.(07-16-2011, 10:36 AM)3DMonkey Wrote: "Acceptance is an ability, capacity, an integration or actualization" - This I agree.The interpretation of events comes from 'something known'. Stepping into the unknown takes acceptance. Acceptance is the ability to even have an interpretation of events or interact on some level. If we allow ourselves to learn, that requires acceptance.
Events unfold through stepping into the unknown. Then something is known, or experienced. After this, acceptance as an integration comes into play. As I see it.
It does not take acceptance to step into the unknown. It takes ignorance.
