Hi Pulsar: you asked me if u could move ahead on your path if you accept love as a premise.
yes is my first response. then we get into the mental area to be asking what is love. or I should use this site's term PUL in order to be more clear.
yet we even question here what is PUL?
so it could be, you are on the heart intelligence path. some call a love path, but when I first saw this phrase I objected to it as seemed too new age for me. I too have problems with a few self professed new agers who seem artificial so I am like the reluctant new ager who hates all labels because they are limiting devices.
so not sure but that you are very introspective, eager, contemplative, mental, open, can pick up other's feelings well, just the sort of explorer should go far into your desired knowings to attain, as we discussed on another thread.
and some might object to my words for you, but I am able to pick up feelings of others sometimes and get rotes from that, but I am not a guru of course. so take what I say with your own natural ability to see if it is useful. if not, throw it away.
to clarify my personal experience with these initial nonphysical beings I encountered who set me aright, due to my asking for it I could offer what I think a love path is, while I think of one who had a perfect love for all, although I always insist, I am not a Christian but more just a mystic if I have to be forced to label myself.
its really hard to be free of labels though. we have been discussing here what the ego is, but more or less deciding the ego is selfish, has pride in it to get rid of perhaps, because pride goes before a fall.
what the beings told me is just because I had passion to get what I wanted, they said don't use your passion only for your own self. then this would be called going for the power, not necessarily going for the love.
we have many in the world go for the glitter, the power, the material attainments and we admire these. At the same time we may admire these that they are getting their earthly experience that they wanted, if we are looking towards a perfect love path, we will see the participants on that path, are loved equally with the others in the sight of him who does not choose up sides. so a love path is impartial love with all having equal access to wisdom and knowings, but a power path can turn into a love path the same according to a person's ability to change their focus.
so for me, these beings were telling me to be careful. I had just called them forth. that is a power trip to them. I had called forth and out to any being. they said I was a smarty pants! lol! thats what I mean, too brash, too angry, acting like I had power, they wanted me to take the love path. at 18, no such thing as a love path, have to live a life before you can report on what happened in that life.
they were essentially trying to protect me from unscrupulous beings I also had the capacity to pull in because of strong will akin to anger. (all this I learned later by contemplating the experience)
it was heavy as the hippies used to say. though I didn't take drugs at that point, and very few drugs did I experiment with later, so anyone tempted to chalk this up to hallucination of drugs can throw that idea away. I had a sound mind, just too much passion to know.
passion should be tempered with patience and study. what I didn't know then!
to further explain, if the readers will pardon my droning on about this, I had attained my knowing thru passion but not any wisdom yet or experiences in what love was exactly, or to choose love path. but I did have a focus point, in order to build my philosophy of life.
which is what you are looking for Pulsar, as you wrestle with feeling like you have no stability to stand on as you go after your greater self.
we all at one time stand exactly where you are standing. I offer my story but I know it's just a story to you. I do get more clear in the telling. I went on and was this person who was naive and thought everyone was trustworthy; that is why I sound a call, not to god, as god was such a vague concept, I sounded to any passersby in the spirit world.
this is what they objected to essentially, that I had a naive approach in my passion. so I got called severely on it. yet, I was extremely happy! because I received lesson plan number one through it. like a breakthrough that we all want.
so personally speaking I went on to discover what is not love, this way I could compare it to JC's what is love.
so maybe you are observing the same. the dual aspects of our world.
I will keep you in my prayers for your knowing, but I know patience is a great thing to have in this world, like faith, we have to keep our minds out of the gutters of what love is not. happy holidays everyone, its a good season to think what is peace.
Pulsar, the void is another great contemplation, another subject altogether; did u know the universe hates a void?
