Love

[Jhanon]

Lately, I am feeling such a tremendous amount of Love. For everyone and anyone. I realized there is no evil. There is no good. There is only skillful. And like a child who has yet learned skills, you Love them and support them until they do. But I do not look down on them. I truly don't. I see another being where I used to be. That is no different than looking in your rear-view mirror and seeing cars behind you. What is the reason to look down on them? Maybe you get in an accident, and they don't--because they were behind you.

There is no reason, absolutely no reason, to not Love every human being. Maybe there is a different word that is more appropriate. Maybe I'm experiencing something that isn't Love. I don't know.

All I know is that I look upon every human with tender eyes and a desire to see them at peace. I feel their struggle, or I see their triumphs. Either way, I Love them.

What is the Noble Sangha's view on Love?

This is a good description of what it is like to open the heart chakra.  Now the challenge is to not turn it into a human relationship, but keep the equanimity that is gained in the 3rd jhana, and keep this love impersonal, but universal.  Good work.

Ah, I already turned it into a relationship 2 years ago. Baby and all. LOL. But, it's different this time that I am posting. Last time it was personalized. Now it isn't. That's why I felt compelled to post it.

PS It is so, so, so much better not personalized.
