Why are we afraid of Love?

[Oliver Saavedra]

Seriously why? Why do we resist feeling love?
If its really all we truly want, why do we resist it?

Is it really just resistance to change and fear of losing ourselves? 

Ego is a strong homoestatic force, change towards Love sounds great to the spirit,
but to the mind, emotions and body its terryfing.
On a mental level seems like a matter of open-mindedness and divergence,
on an emotional level seems a matter of courage and resilience,
on a physical level seems like a matter of adaptation,
spiritually to me seems like a matter of alignment, learning and creation.

Why is a mouse afraid of a cat?

In the same way, why is ego afraid of God/Love/Consciousness??

Why might a devil fear love?

[mandyjw]

We fear the unknown because we believe that we know what we are so what's unknown therefore must be something other than us and threatening to us. Love is true not knowing but fear is the mind's interpretation of not knowing, it's the mind's attempt to know the unknown based on what it thinks itself to be, (separate and finite) then it imagines its imagined boogeymen as something real. It doesn't know how ridiculous it's being. 

You are the monster at the end of this book.

This is not a bug, it's a feature. This is by design, so you can realise who you are.

In the end, self-realization is just another game.

Self-realization 'occurs' when you drop the game in favor of playing ?❤️?

Because love kills the ego.

You are not killing dream character when you wake up in the morning - it's nonsense.

There wasn't any dream character, was just you

Because Love takes out ego of the equation, and we don't want that... because we think we are an ego... we think there's a me that needs this or that.

Love doesn't need anything and it gives everything asking nothing in exchange.

That's it right? Ego can't love but it likes the idea of love. Real love dissolves the ego.

[Oliver Saavedra]

Seems like ego wants the truth but it can't handle the Truth! 

That's why suffering is purification, the sufferer is the one your soul gets cleaned from. 

We live to create a reality we love and then to learn to enjoy the Love that kills us, what a beautiful paradox.

Same ‘reason’ one would hold closed a door to a tsunami, because you’d drown.

You fear love because it will kill you.

Second that. 100% true. 

[abrakamowse]

And after killing you, you will be born again.

Or maybe you will just stay here. No difference. ?
