One of the coolest things about reality is that you can shape it any way you want. It’s like cosmic play-dough.
I shaped my reality in such a way that the only thing that is real is love. At first glance, that doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. It seems that there are a lot of things in the universe besides love. There’s is war and there’s violence — and there are other things, like the ability to learn. And, on top of that, we exist, and we aren’t love. We’re people. Aren’t all of these things real?
Well no, they aren’t. But break down something simple like the ability to learn. Learning is the love of knowledge. War and hate seem like the opposite of love. No — they are a lack of love. Well, what about people? Aren’t we real? We are expressions of the universe, loving itself. The universe created us so that it could love itself in a new and entirely unique way. In fact, that’s all creation is — a giant swirl of love, loving itself. The rivers, the trees, the mountains… it’s all love.
That is how I decided to view the world. And quite frankly, I love it.

That is an interesting point. And with that in mind, I think that a lot of the problems that we have today manifest themselves when people don’t have a balance of love. If someone doesn’t love him or herself enough, they become unstable and jealous of other people. Therefore, they are unable to reach out to other people and receive love or love someone else. All they can think about is “What about me? What about me?” and fail to realize all the suffering people around them. However, those who love themselves too much become arrogant and unable to see the needs of those around them and lessen the suffering of others. One who loves him or herself in a balance form is able to express the love that he or she if feeling to others. He can’t help but want to see others happy and feel the love that he is feeling inside. Therefore he can clearly see the problems of others and follow the golden rule of loving his neighbor as himself.

Hi Dave,
I have a very similar view of the world. It’s nice to find someone with the same ideas. It’s really disheartening sometimes when I explain my theories on life, and what happens when we die, I always get these looks, like “yeah okay she’s got her head in the clouds”. Of course it doesn’t really matter what they say, but I can see it in their eyes that they think they are right and I am wrong. Neither one of us is right or wrong. That’s one of the reasons I don’t really like religions because the people who believe in them think that, it is the only way to live life and everyone else has got it wrong.
You are proof that there are other people with similar ideas to mine, I guess it’s just a matter of finding each other. The website I’ve provided is one where I post my poetry, I don’t know how interested in that you’ll be, but it asked for a website and I thought my poetry would be the closest thing to a blog.

This reminds me of a conversation with a former friend, he was recovering from being dumped by this girl and he asked me if love really exist at all. And i told him, if love didn’t we would all be dead right now. There would be so much hate and uncaring that people who are in pain won’t get healed or people who fell won’t be helped of standing up. People who hate anyone who gets in their way will most probably end up getting killed.
So yeah, love does exist. You and I of all the proof you need if love exist is that reason. If our parents didn’t love, we wouldn’t have existed as well.

Well.. I don’t think of reproduction as necessarily love.. hopefully people will tie it with love so that deeper connections can be made, and people may value themselves more if they wait until they know they love someone before having sex.
What I was thinking is that there are accidental births as a result of an urge.. sadly.
I guess you could think of it as more of a short term and conditional love.. or well.. i don’t know I’m just blabbing on.

I’m going to post one more comment (this one) and then go do something else
Apologies if you’ve answered my questions in a later post.
“I shaped my reality in such a way that the only thing that is real is love.”
1. If by “reality” you mean more or less “how I choose to perceive reality”, then can you justify making choices about how to perceive things, at all? Why should (I or someone else) -choose- to see reality in a certain way?
“War and hate seem like the opposite of love. No — they are a lack of love.”
2. Is this true? If I don’t love someone, it doesn’t logically follow that I hate them…there has to be an additional reason why I actively dislike someone.
“The universe created us so that it could love itself in a new and entirely unique way.”
3. This seems to imply that the universe has a sort of consciousness and a will. Do you believe this and can it be justified?

Maybe war can be thought of a love for power above a love for life that inadvertently harms others, kills others.
When people act out in a way that is considered hateful, isn’t really not a hate but more of a want for something that over powers ones caring for another’s well being.
Yeah? No?

The illusion we are meant to be breaking is becoming clearer and clearer.

I love your point of view.
