I just posted this answer to a question about the nature of LOVE on another thread. I think it deserves its own thread. Here we go: What is LOVE? LOVE is something completely different from the human emotion of love. LOVE is beyond good and evil. LOVE equals GOODNESS. But it's a greater form of Goodness that has nothing to do with your human fantasies about what's good and what's bad. To realize Absolute Goodness you have to be able to leave the perspective of your ego and consider everything from a holistic standpoint. It's not necessarily good for you as a finite form – which most of the time means good in regards to your survival. But it's Good for the whole in the sense that it maximizes Love. You want an example? Let's take war. War leads to a lot of suffering, so you wouldn't call it good, except if you were the initiator of the war – that already shows how relative your notions of good and bad are. But for the greater Goodness war and all the suffering that comes with it leads to the establishment of True Peace. True Peace is not the absence of the possibility of war. It is us understanding the suffering and consequences of war very deeply, which requires to fully live through it – and then coming together and consciously deciding that we don't want to continue that anymore. The resulting experience of True Peace wouldn't be possible if the opposite - war - would just not exist. It can only be created by deeply and experientally understanding what it means to be fully at war – and then recognizing that it was false and it is not what we fundamentally are. But first you have to go to war. You can't skip that step if you want to really know what you truly are. That's what LOVE is about. It loves itself so deeply that it creates its exact opposite to be able to find out and understand what it is – even fully knowing what that entails.

Karma is just cause and effect. You could also say: Everything you do, you do to yourself, because there's nothing else that exists. Selfishness is the consequence of not knowing that.

Everything Hitler did was war. War was his whole Modus Operandi. There never was the possibility of winning some war, because that would've been the end of Hitler. If he'd won the war he would've found another one to fight.

This is all nothing but a huge assumption with no base in your actual experience. Just admit it.

@Javfly33 On what grounds are you making your claims? Source? Obviously you're still here, aren't you?

This is the classic misconception that cannabis=harmful (in some cases) means that legalization=bad. Legalization is about facing the problem, controlling the disbursement, increasing youth protection and making available a clean product for mature adults that are able to make their own decisions. Making something legal doesn't mean it's not dangerous. It shouldn't be required to make everything dangerous illegal, especially if there are completely valid use cases. Instead the focus should be put more on clarification of the risks and benefits so that people can make their own educated decisions. There are two approaches to drugs that are the worst: Completely unregulated & completely prohibited. We have to find a middle way. Drugs are an amazing part of this reality, but they are also dangerous. It all depends on the circumstances and personality/biology of the user. There never was a civilization that was completely free of drugs and to try to achieve that is not only futile, but not intelligent. We have to strive for a meaningful integration of drugs into society. That also would make them less dangerous because now there'd be a societal framework in which drug use can happen that goes beyond "do it and you'll be homeless or imprisoned", which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, as we can see again and again. There's much development still to be had in this area for humanity.

Sometimes I just want to go out with a huge facepalm... damn. Humans are cringe. Sometimes.

It's about giving the people back their personal responsibility I'm from Germany, too, btw and this is exciting news! Let's hope the Bundesrat doesn't delay it too much. In theory if all Bundesländer in which the Green Party is part of the coalition would vote neither yes or no, it would go through. The Green Party voted unanimously Yes for legalization in Berlin. So it depends on how many deviants there are in their own party, we'll see... The reason why some of them want to delay it, even though their party voted Yes on the bill, is that they fear it could overburden the legal system when they have to open all cases again in which people got jail time or fines for cannabis related crimes - because part of the new bill is also a complete retroactive amnesty. In my opinion this is a terrible reason to delay such an important law change while thousands of people still get charged for cannabis possession today. All in all I'm quite optimistic though. Let's hope the best.

Everything is absolutely perfect. Even that is. It was never and will never not be Perfection. There's nowhere to go, nowhere to arrive, nothing to achieve – but to PLAY.

Now-Here.

@Someone here Being not awake is not possible. Yet here we are.

@Inliytened1 Thanks for reminding me, "dude on a forum" Of course, God is the greatest writer ever – and also the only one. All God does, as long as he did not currently forget himself, is compliment his own genius. Rightly so, I may add!

There's only one thing that God cannot do: Not be himself.

You imagined them. Well, I (and others) have created whole worlds and their inherent rules. It's called writing.

That's bullshit. There's no one to judge but yourself. You're the judge and the convict at the same time. You're all murderers and their victims. You're your own mentor and teacher and you're the disciple of yourself. It's all you, you alone is what is.

That's one and the same.

Cool

It is INFINITE INTELLIGENCE. And no, you can't understand it as a human, because it is way way above the level of consciousness, that is required to be human. You can't even fathom how intricate, beautiful and perfect it is constructed.

@Theplay That's only halfway there. True enlightenment doesn't discriminate between ego and non-ego – that discrimination is already ego.

Me too, of course

It doesn't hurt to be said But also... following any teacher will ultimately lead to delusion. And on the other hand everyone and everything can be your teacher.

You have to drop any teacher at some point.

You're all hopelessly deluded. Deal with it.

Reality is Perfection. That's a feature of Infinity. As well as Love, Truth, Consciousness & Beauty. That doesn't mean you should just accept everything that's going on, on the contrary. I'm talking about the Absolute, not the relative. Suffering, ugliness, war, rape, murder, etc. those all exist as an experience, but that doesn't contradict Perfection. But seeing that requires wisdom. If you say it's otherwise you're essentially saying that Reality would be better if those didn't exist, and that's not the case. Can you see that?

There's nothing that has to end. Everything is in an ongoing, ever-shifting state of absolute and impeccable perfection.
