I have never heard of It's not upsetting. offensive and wrong is more apropos. Love is a feeling. It is not an idea where you can take the human out. That is dehumanization. Love is something a living being feels not an intellectual concept. You are giving me a relative scenario, picking a beautiful forest as an example and not a back alley of dog shit, garbage, medical waste and flies. We are talking about beauty here not love. It's relative. This same scene to someone born in that environment might be commonplace to them and a skyscraper or desert oasis might seem beautiful to them. As soon as you speak a word you are speaking relatively. So what is "unconditional love" ? Does that mean we love the smell of week old urine and rotten eggs? Do we love to watching children being tortured ? Do we love seeing a pile emaciated corpses that have begun to stink? Another way, the more common way this term "unconditional love" is applied is not love alone. It's a decision to be committed to the well being of another person no matter what. For instance a mother might say this of her children. Does this mean the mother is feeling love for her child 24 hours a day? No she does and thinks about other things as well. Does this unconditional love means she loves everything? No. Other children that are not hers she will not have the same level of commitment to. Unconditional love is not constant love nor is it loving everything. What about loving everything all day land all night long? That might sound like a nice idea but it's not humanly possible and it's not a good thing to love things like harming people. What about if we like the idea of oneness (nonduality) means we we pick some word that we like to be the oneness and everything is made out of it? That is cute but nonsensical. Is nuclear waste, vomit and piss love ? Or is it just the plants , trees and decaying branches that are love? Love is a tree or is it that you love trees? There's a difference. Again "infinite love" "Absolute love" "unconditional love" "purity" "perfection" These are all idyllic mental constructs. Some to say love is endless but loves ends, It takes time to realize this And then ones are born -

So there hasn't been enough research to determine how risky LSD and other psychedelic chemicals for people with schizophrenia in the family
-
But there are decades of trip reports an written accounts

So if having a grandmother with schizophrenia increases one's risk of developing schizophrenia by 4% compared to the general population what is the percentage of risk that a person has if taking LSD of triggering a psychosis if the person has a grandparent who had schizophrenia?

do you have a source for this?

No, what you just said about true spirituality does not translate to "God imagines an infinite number of living beings being killed and that that is love made manifest." In fact the situation is the opposite of what you are saying. I have been been the one saying that suffering exists and everything is not "love" as is continually claimed. The problem is exactly the opposite of what you suggest , feel-good spirituality is pretending that suffering does not exist and everything is "love" . That is denial, in fact apathy in disguise, a corruption of language which I hope does not manifest in reality -
do you have any mental health issues?

Ans here's yet another such comment made just yesterday So God imagines an infinite number of living beings being killed and that that is love made manifest. I don't regard ideas like this as spiritual. They are in another category altogether using spiritual terminology is the only thing spiritual about it. -
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/275795.php Medical News Today What is the link between love and oxytocin? Oxytocin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter that is involved in childbirth and breast-feeding. It is also associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building. It is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone," because levels of oxytocin increase during hugging and orgasm. It may also have benefits as a treatment for a number of conditions, including depression, anxiety, and intestinal problems. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus, a part of the brain. Females usually have higher levelsTrusted Source than males. Fast facts on oxytocin Here are some key points about oxytocin. More detail is in the main article. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus and released during sex, childbirth, and lactation to aid reproductive functions. It has physical and psychological effects, including influencing social behavior and emotion. Oxytocin is prescribed as a drug for obstetric and gynecological reasons and can help in childbirth. Research shows that it may benefit people with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). What is oxytocin? Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone that is produced inTrusted Source the hypothalamus. From there, it is transported to and secreted by the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain. It plays a roleTrusted Source in the female reproductive functions, from sexual activity to childbirth and breast feeding. Stimulation of the nipples triggers its release. During labor, oxytocin increases uterine motility, causing contractions in the muscles of the uterus, or womb. As the cervix and vagina start to widen for labor, oxytocin is released. This widening increases as further contractions occur. Oxytocin also has social functions. It impactsTrusted Source bonding behavior, the creation of group memories, social recognition, and other social functions. Oxytocin as a drug Oxytocin is used as a prescription drug under the brand name Pitocin. Under medical supervision, an oxytocin injection is sometimes used to start birth contractions or strengthen them during labor, and it helps reduce bleeding after delivery. Side effects include a rapid heartbeat and unusual bleeding. If too much oxytocin is delivered too rapidly, it can lead to a rupture of the uterus. Oxytocin can also be given to make the uterus contract and control bleeding after a delivery or a termination. It can be usedTrusted Source medically to induce a termination or complete a miscarriage. The love hormone? In 2012, researchers reportedTrusted Source that people in the first stages of romantic attachment had higher levels of oxytocin, compared with non-attached single people. These levels persisted for at least 6 months. Sexual activity has been found to stimulate the release of oxytocin, and it appears to have a role in erection and orgasm. The reason for this is not fully understood, but, in women, it may be that the increased uterine motility may help sperm to reach their destination. Some have proposed a correlation between the concentration of oxytocin and the intensity of orgasm. Oxytocin and emotion When oxytocin enters the bloodstream, it affects the uterus and lactation, but when it is released into certain parts of the brain, it can impact emotional, cognitive, and social behaviors. One review of research into oxytocin states that the hormone's impact on "pro-social behaviors" and emotional responses contributes to relaxation, trust, and psychological stability. Brain oxytocin also appears to reduce stress responses, including anxiety. These effects have been seen in a number of species. The hormone has been described asTrusted Source "an important component of a complex neurochemical system that allows the body to adapt to highly emotive situations." Is it that simple? In 2006, investigators reportedTrusted Source finding higher levels of oxytocin and cortisol among women who had "gaps in their social relationships" and more negative relations with their primary partner. The participants were all receiving hormone therapy (HT) following menopause. Animal studies have found high levels of both stress and oxytocin in voles that were separated from other voles. However, when the voles were given doses of oxytocin, their levels of anxiety, cardiac stress, and depression fell, suggesting that stress increases internal production of the hormone, while externally supplied doses can help reduce stress. Clearly, the action of oxytocin is not straightforward. A review published in 2013 cautionsTrusted Source that oxytocin is likely to have general rather than specific effects, and that oxytocin alone is unlikely to affect "complex, high-order mental processes that are specific to social cognition." The authors also point out that a willingness to collaborate is likely to be driven by anxiety in the first place. Nevertheless, oxytocin does appear to be associated with social behavior, including maternal care, bonding between couples, sexual behavior, social memory, and trust. Behavioral effects Delivering oxytocin through a nasal spray has allowed researchers to observe its effects on behavior. In 2011, research published in Psychopharmacology foundTrusted Source that intranasal oxytocin improved self-perception in social situations and increased personality traits such as warmth, trust, altruism, and openness. In 2013, a study published in PNAS suggested that oxytocin may help keep men faithful to their partners, by activating the reward centers in the brain. In 2014, researchers published findings in the journal Emotion suggestingTrusted Source that people saw facial expression of emotions in others more intensely after receiving oxytocin through a nasal spray. Psychiatric therapy Oxytocin has been proposed as a possible treatment for social phobia, autism, and postpartum depression. Scientists have proposed that it might help improve interpersonal and individual wellbeing, and that it could have applications for people with some neuropsychiatric disorders. They believe it could help people who avoid social interaction, and those who experience persistent fear and an inability to trust others. Children with autism could benefit from oxytocin, say some researchers. In 2013, a small study suggested that oxytocin levels in the brain affected how 17 children perceived a series of social and non-social images. Oxytocin may also play a role in anger management. Research has indicated that certain polymorphisms of the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene are associated with an increased tendency to react angrily to situations. In particular, differences in OXTR gene expression appear toTrusted Source affect the regulation of the relationship between alcohol and aggressive behavior. Uses Oxytocin appears to increase the release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in cells lining the intestine. This helps to encourage the repair of intestinal injury and to protect against such injury. If this is confirmed, oxytocin could beTrusted Source a useful therapy for preventing chemo-radiotherapy-induced intestine injury, and it could be used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

No, that is not logical. A things's reality is not determined by whether or not somebody loves it intently What you are right about is that love involves being attentive to something. One is not continually attentive to one thing. And when that attention is drawn to another stimulus or interrupted by sleep we realize that everything is not love, the intoxicant wears off. What if everything was love wouldn't that be wonderful? It might be. But it isn't. There is also suffering in the world. And that is why love is needed. Wouldn't it be wonderful if when could just eat constantly but never get fat and never be limited by the capacity of our stomach? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could take a drug that made us feel like we were in a state love and we could just take a pill, one after the other and exist in an unbroken state of love with no interruptions? That might be wonderful. Or horrifically monotonous. Fantasies and promises -
A chemical, which is material, can be taken into a person's bloodstream and cause a psychedelic experience. So what do you mean by "explanation" other than that?

From my opening post You left these other things out form what I said in my opening post Love like all feelings comes and goes like the tide. People who are deeply in love and devoted adn commuted to each other but they are not feeling that love 24 hours a day and to attempt to do so, though impossible would be excessive and smothering. They encounter other people and situations they are not feeling love constantly. There are other emotions in this world. And let us not pretend that love is all there is to try to make it fit into this idea we may have of nonduality. Streams are not infinite. The have a time when they are formed and a time when they dry up. Any feeling is part of duality, fear, anger, love, sadness, joy, tranquility, excitement They don't have to be paired as duos of opposites. Every word and thought spoken here is separation. That we need to survive and communicate with each other right here and now. yes, it is an action, these variations yes, and one can even love ice cream. but is a hand grenade love? Is an electron love, is a shoe love? Is a cute puppy love? No, things aren't love. Love is a feeling and energy if you like from one being to another. It rises and falls, like the ocean. Things die. Others new born. -

I don't normally talk about rape an murder but I hear these things frequently being brought up in addition to Hitler. These thing are brought up in the context of "infinite love" "God" "Police brutality is love" . These types of things are frequently brought up to try to suggest this is some kind of "higher" beyond human love Somebody might love to murder. But murder is not love and love is not everything and it's not a substance. It's a feeling. -

There is nothing wrong with looking for love. If everything was love there would be no looking. But since it's not everything we look. The way to find it is to love somebody first. -
Nak Khid replied to Nak Khid's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
That's a good question. Why would an Infinite Intelligence create a world with murder, torture and painful disease? Why wouldn't he create a world where everybody loved one another and people would never suffer painful debilitating diseases and animals would not hunt down and tear each other apart for food? Do you think by calling these things "love" such a God did not create a world that has much joy and also much suffering? If you looked out your window and saw someone being raped or a child being severely beaten might you call the police or would you sit there and not do anything and call it "love" ? That type of love is not love. It is excuse to not to care -

Somebody considering suicide might be inspired to do it in reading this. but do you care? And you are saying this but retreated from it yourself in your Outrageous Experiments video where you were virtually crying in part of it. You didn't go through with the death experiment so why are you encouraging others to? Would it be fascinating to watch someone else do it? That's love? -
