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.(08-24-2019, 03:19 AM)peregrine Wrote: 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 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.
