Human beings are plenty loving

[redchartreuse]

The problem is, light without love is a detriment

And love, without light, is an equal and opposite detriment.  It takes both together to achieve balanced growth, and understanding.

Is there something scary or offensive about light to you?  Because it seems you are quick to caution about light unbalanced with love, but even quicker to give a pass to love unbalanced with light.

Do you know how many wars have been fought "in the name of love"?  How many people have sacrificed their lives thinking they were "doing good" when all they were actually doing was lining the pockets of warmongers?  How much suffering and death could have been averted if people possessed a modicum of sensibility to discern they were being manipulated into a dark agenda?

Love does not protect us from being manipulated by the dark.  Light does. Awareness.  Knowledge.

War is never reasonable. It is only enabled by the inflaming of emotions that occurs when people are told that something they love is under attack. Reasonable people do not make war on others.  At worst, they convince themselves that war is a "necessary evil" that other people should fight on their behalf.

it's absorptive and not radiant,

I'm afraid you've gone through the looking glass, Alice.   Light radiates outward.  Love attracts inward.  This should be self-evident, and if it isn't, then I might suggest it is a signal to dig deeper into your programming so as to discern why you would so blithely repeat tropes that are demonstrably incorrect.

which is why it's important to know for sure that we are truly loving before we try to "reason". For instance, and I don't mean this as a personal attack, red, but I don't feel a lot of love, acceptance, or understanding coming from your OP. I feel judgement, resentment, and frustration. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your energy, but for me, this is why your attempts at offering "light" fall flat - there is no support from the heart chakra of true unconditional love of others. If you still see people as needing to be fixed in some rote way, your heart chakra is not unblocked.

Why would you "feel" anything from words that you read on a screen?  You don't know me, or have any personal experience of me.  The only thing you "feel" when reading my words are energies which emerged from your own self.

It has become commonplace for people in this forum to publicly assess others spiritual status.  It seems, whenever something "disagreeable" is said, that the typical response is to pretty much ignore what was said, and instead start assessing the person's so-called lack of "heart chakra" activity.

BTW- Telling somebody that their "heart chakra is blocked" is the same thing as saying they "are not loving enough".  Do you see the pattern here?

I won't hold my breath, because B4 moderators have been complicit in permitting members to conduct public analyses of others' spiritual status long before you ever came around here.  It's sort of a "thing" here. And it's totally inappropriate, and absolutely not "of the heart."

I just doubt you will find many people to agree with you.

I'm not here to pander to my own ego and win a popularity contest, or the most "likes."  I am here to share my awareness and experience.  

And I've been around here long enough to know that there are plenty of readers lurking in the background who likely agree with what I am saying.   They are just afraid to speak up, because they know what will happen.

The veil plays many tricks.

No doubt.  And thus we are told that we "need" to be tricked, in order to "learn" how to love.

Honestly, if it hadn't been beaten into your head over and over again... if you looked at that statement with fresh eyes, would it make ANY sense to you?  

And perhaps more importantly, does it speak of love?

When we are holding too rigidly to something, this is a hint to where our work lies.

Exactly.  And I always, and continue to be, willing to discuss (here in a *discussion* forum) about anything that I post.

Yet whenever the discussion comes up against a trope so "rigidly held" by certain members of this community, they are quick to jump in and start derailing threads with public assessments of the poster's spiritual status.

I wonder, Jade, do you have children?  I press because, once again, you looked straight past the actual words I wrote so that you could blindly repeat some tropes you once learned.

Do you have children?  And if so, did you find that they needed to "learn" how to love?  Did you observe that their "heart chakras were too blocked" the moment they emerged from your womb?

My son was born fully loving, kind, caring, and generous, with his heart chakra burning brightly.  And I'm gonna "go out on a limb" and say so was everybody else's baby.

What my son needs to learn is how to reason, and how to discern when he is being manipulated by others.  Unfortunately, it has already begun in pre-K with classmates trying to manipulate him into their personal agendas, and then saying he is "being mean" or "not being a good friend" (i.e. pulling on his heart strings) when he doesn't go along with what they are wanting him to do.
