 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres". 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Thankyou Free Spirit for sharing those words of truth, here is what Gideon gave me on the subject of love....
 

WHAT IS LOVE

What is love?   Is it that complex emotion that makes a person happy and takes away pain…or makes a person unhappy and takes away joy?  It is in itself pure feelings that can exhibit both the positive and the negative sides of the human psyche.  It needs a catalyst for expression.   There are various levels of love…each occupying a place in the persons heart…some equal in standing.  Loving people for different reasons.  For there is really no such explanation for Love as is known…it is a word for a conglomeration of feelings and emotions that rise under certain circumstances…that are felt at certain times…that are unique.  Anyone is capable of love…even the most hardened criminal or blood thirsty slayer…for they may have no respect for some areas of life but are still capable of harbouring feelings deeply for those that are the special ones in their lives…they feel a love at a level.   People can love another unconditionally…accepting them in all ways…to the detriment sometimes of their own happiness…this can fester and bring in its wake…negativity…suspicion…jealousy…insecurity…they themselves and the one they love become the victim of a mutated love feeling and instead of revealing the joys of love, it opens up the centre that sends out the results of the pains of love.  This can be volatile…this can be destructive…and this can end up as a disaster.  This is caused by doubt in the mind of one person that the other does not love on the same level as they do.   This is caused by rejection…physically, emotionally, mentally.  Barriers are formed that shut out the persons capacity to emit a healthy love feeling.  Love becomes the excuse that people make to deny themselves or another of what is the most strongest and purest form of positive emotion.  Love that has been injured protects itself…and cradles it’s emotions…cocooning the person and shielding them from ever having to experience pain and hurt again.  For only those who you love are capable of hurting you.   This method can also have an inbuilt alarm system that when feelings reach a certain stage it is activated and the person then shuts down for fear of being vulnerable again.  Therefore love is so complex that it is hard to define whether one is in love or not…whether the feelings that are felt are borne from possessiveness…materialism…misguided passion�?or from that deep caring quality, that empathy and sensitivity for another’s feelings…that euphoria that can only be brought by one.   Love is an exchange market…love of the positive nature is a seed that is within…and it grows based upon what another feeds it with…the warm tears of joys water it…the energy of selfless caring feeds it…what is grown is the result of another’s toil to produce that which is a beautiful display.   The negative love seed also grows in much the same way…and the weeds can strangle the heart.  Therefore each grows within the other that which they put into it…as the effects are felt then the recipient senses the type of love that another is placing within and again this can be positive or negative…Therefore love is the product of various words and deeds.  On its own it is just a word that has no fibre of reality.  That fabric is woven by the threads that create that picture of the love that is desired…love is designed…love needs to be maintained, repaired, to keep that picture, that creation intact.   Many would need another’s love creation within their own heart to keep them flourishing and nourished with that positive energy...however they themselves maybe unable or incapable of the exchange…but it is part of what they need for a level of fulfilment.  The joint exchange is a loop�?which transmits and receives from one to the other…be this friendship…parent/child…family bonds…or lover to lover.  The energy is placed within for the feelings to be felt at an indefinable level…there is the conscience, there is the ideology, there is the empathy, there is the caring and sharing elements, there is the ecstatic joy of knowing someone loves you in return…there is the consistency of thoughts…of actions…of words…all that is needed to keep the whole package pristine…Many long for love…many give love on all levels…however it can only be felt in the greater quarters of the heart if the other is receptive to that love from that person…only then can it be grown…a person can give all they have…but if the heart of the other does not yield fertile soil then that love falls on stony ground.  This becomes a one-sided love feeling…and can result in pain�?The natures of people can stifle love…their manners and modes of behaviour, the ways that portray who they are within…sooner or later comes to the surface…the first flushes of love then become dampened as the normal personality, shows through.   The Love and Light of Spiritual love is that quality that is void of the human desires and needs…the materialistic and physical criteria that make up the human mating game…this Spiritual Love is beyond the boundaries and limitations of the physical…it is pure mind…pure heart…pure soul love…this comes when the needs of the flesh are replaced by the needs of the soul…where the eyes see with an inner sight to that which lies within…where the colours of that love radiate and merge to form the white light of purity…this is reflected outward and is sensed and people bask in its warmth of pure love.  To love with the Physical…the emotional…the mental…and the Spiritual bodies of the Self�?is the greatest achievement of all…to taste that nectar with the mind…to reach that Nirvana with the Spirit…to touch the Heavens with the body…to feel paradise with the heart…to know…totality…………�?
