Exactly!

Could you give us a definition?
Of Impersonal Love?????
I am not sure in what context you are speaking of.
Relationships?
Planetary?
Humanity?
????????

hi fayte - i can't explain impersonal love - it's like skin, i think. without it, open to all sorts of diseases and death - or maybe just puppet syndrome. there is no life-some existence without it - love is a thriving force and there is always a type of love lurking in front of the view. impersonal fills in voids or maybe it IS what is considered a void - it is just a driving force and an underappreciated phenomenom that is the catalyst for growth. it is a love that drives our creation - to which, no one is superior to another. it is a contributing factor to will.

Savoring the being of being a part of it all?
Savoring and sensing the interconnectedness of everything?
That joy of simply existing?
Is that what you mean?
Knowing one is never truly alone and finding comfort in that?
Knowing that no matter how small one is in the big picture, the knowing that one IS a part of it all?

i chose platonic love because you can still have the depth, instense inimacy, soul connection without f*ucking.....it all up.

i mostly like platonic love that;s about to explode into hot passionate all consuming romance and merging of the hearts.

thanks fayte - that was a great explanation of it posed as questions. i'm not the greatest at explaining things but i DO love the feeling of interconnectedness. the feeling of being a part of this world IS invigorating. Of existing in this same sphere of so many WONDERFUL people, places, and things (past, present, future) - i guess i still can't believe i'm a part of it. it's like being 8-9 and in a HUGE amusement part - i'm so excited that the park exists, that i'm there, and that there is so much to do.

You said:

YES, in feeling this - i KNOW i can do all things through LOVE which strengthens me.
There is no guilt, no shame, no "rules of engagement", there is much to be proud of, no anticipation of an award or anticipation of disgrade, it encourages, and it fuels me. it brings on dreams, possibilities, my strengths, my desires, my focus, "what can i do to help". it opens up new doors. it swats away the naysayers - it's too big for them.

i have to admit that sexual love hasn't been as intense and lasting to me as this love i mention and platonic love hasn't kept my attention, as long as this love can - i guess i could work on those things, they are still "new" to me. Impersonal love is so very very very old to me. yes 13anshee - it feels like a love in which i want to put everything into.........at this point though, is it something i want to put everything into because i'm comfortable with it and afraid to invest in the other types of love or because it's my fate to put everything into only this love. it's funny how life works - the one thing you find of comfort gets visited by something you are not comfortable with and THEN that's when things really get interesting. like the amusement park i mentioned, at 8-9, I don't remember the fee that has to be paid to enter the park. As an adult - i realize that there is a fee - what fee did i put in, that has me experiencing this divine and sublime love? will i stand around and be frozen in amazement?

i have to say - to choose between the 3 (sexual, platonic, impersonal) is to choose that which you are more comfortable with and wish for, more of it to come. that which i feel there is NO substitute for it, as of today - i really want to please it and be pleased by it.

YES!
That feeling like being at least for a moment, a child spinning in joy on an endless sultry late summer afternoon, face to the puffy white clouds sofly sailing slowly across a rich azure blue sky! Breathing in the sun, the clouds, the flowers, the trees, the life, the energy, then blissfully full, falling to the ground onto green grass and clover, laughing, delightfully giggling, just to hear oneself doing so, rolling, hugging self and earth and God all at once! Grass stained and clovers in hair all tangled and wild, Jump up for joy! And start running like there is no tomorrow, just for the joy of being able to run free, and feel the exhilaration lift you unttil you feel you can really fly, and some part of you flys! That is some small small part of how it feels to me!
That sheer joy at being a part of it all! And it all is God for me! Heaven on Earth by way of a childlike love of being and experiencing the simple joys and pleasures!
