Re: Love versus Attachment

Excellent explanation. The only problem I see with it is the near death experience.

What part of the individual experiences the near death experince? The mind comes back to the dead body and reenters it. It's the mind that can convey the experience allthough the body was indeed dead for a significant length of time. That would indicate that the mind is the real you (soul). Being able to exist outside of a body.

When the mind comes back into the body the body reignites and can live. It's the mind that has to try to explain what it experienced when the body was dead. Which the mind is incapable of putting words to, yet does indeed see and feel the essense of absolute love from something apparently outside of itself.

Yet, you, the soul (mind), HAVE to be part and parcel of the love that you experience outside of the body when the body is dead. Unless it's the body that generates that love when you're in a body. Make sense???

And mentally people can "tune into" that essense quite deliberately. I do it all the time when working on patients. And, No, I can't explain how I do it. But its a two edge sword. There IS an energy transfer when contact is made. Yes, I can and do tune into whatever problems the patient has which helps and directs me to the necessary mechanical corrections, but they also seem to drain some of my energy. Especially if real sick.

When "in love" happened to me it seemed to enhanse my mental capabilities. Enhansed all of my physical reality.

Love is indeed a verb. I've been saying that for years. It's an active thing, like you said "it has no address" (I like that). To get that love flowing is not that difficult a thing to do. It's one of the things that helped in my survival. Keeping the love flowing. But it doesn't explain "in love" with one specific individual.

And no matter how hard you try to "forget and move on" it just doesn't work. It works with the flowing love but not with the "in love" love.

And its not an obsession. I created a few obsessions when sick to give me some sanity to hang onto. I had to obsess about certain things in my childhod before I became sick just to keep from dying. However, once healthy those obsessions vanished as they should. The "in love" didn't. And I had the "in love" before I was sick. The "in love" thing ended with her in 1969, I didn't get sick until 1971. A good two and a half years. It wasn't a real big problem back then because I thought I would have the "in love" thing again. I didn't know how rare it is.

But anyway, That's a great post, if you have more to add I'd like to hear it. Doc
