At least that I know that I am not talking gibberish :) Indeed this gives me strength to continue on searching and growing to ultimately experience the state of being called love. I am sure it is impossible to describe it in words but at least I know it is there :) Best, Tomas Nancy:

In particular, I liked your idea of being in the state of love. Over, the years I have experienced many different shades of love. The love of a child for their parent, then young romantic love, parental love which is close to unconditional love, and once I experienced that "state of being" you refer to. I will try to explain this: It was more than a practice that had become fulfilled. It was an actual State Of Being. Nothing but Love existed within it or outside of it. It is almost out of body in that it stands alone. It does not need to be fed, shared, contemplated or practiced. It is the only thing there is in the end. In our human incarnation we are striving for it without understanding it. This is paradoxical because in the end....we are it! Great posting Tomas! What a wonderful topic to contemplate!

From what I understand you are saying that love is already within us and that we do not need to acquire it, we just need to become of our love dwelling within us. Very interesting concept. Thank you for sharing. This is something that I will have to consider for myself.

However, one thing that I have to say is this: It's not a bad thing. Nothing in life is bad. Everything has a lesson. People act they way they do because they need to learn a lesson. It seems that you have learned that lesson, but the West as you say might need to go through the phase of thinking of love and compassion as being over-rated to only later realize how much it actually matters. I was not born perfect, nobody was. We all go through life and learn. Some people take less than others and other take more. It is OK. One thing that gives a lot of strength is this: It's Just a Matter of Time! It's just a matter of time before the West or anybody the world will discover the value of love and spirituality.

The view he proposes is a difficult one that many 'blind' optimists work hard to avoid. Maybe it's the area I've grown up in, seeing the true ghetto and dealing with people who are just 'actors' that turn around and stab your back. I guess this sort of view toward the world occurs when you had experience working in gang infested poverty stricken areas where it is a daily struggle for survival. This was also true when I worked in Hollywood which was even more of a violation of one's soul. Aside from that, when one finds their small circle of 'true' friends, it is a win-win situation! .-= Ken Kurosawa´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WasabiBurger/~3/4jgsMrkWeBA/">How to Improve Your Odds of Achieving Your New Years Resolution</a> =-.
