A riddle about emotions - can you solve it?

If one is a mass murderer should that person be celebrating his dark side?

Conventional love and hate are just reactions we have to various events in life - coupled with genetic factors and whatever latent tendencies we came here with from previous lives. These emotional reactions are not who we actually ARE in Reality - they are just the body-mind's particular tendencies.

You never answered my question as to whether you think unconditional love is the opposite of hate. Conventional love can be said to be the opposite, but that kind of love is just based on all sorts of emotional baggage, typically.

Unconditional Love is Reality, which is prior to conditions. All conditions arise in Reality, are a modification of Reality's Light, but are not in and of themselves the Truth. All such conditions are to be fundamentally recognized as simply modifications of Reality, but that in and of themselves, keep us from noticing the Unconditional Unity or Love in which we all arise.

We have to transcend these dualities by recognizing their Source, not just celebrate them as though they are Truth in and of themselves. Once such recognition that these dualities arise in Reality, they are transformed and even released/dissolved by Love Itself, and so existence can certainly be celebrated in that spirit.


P.S. Your English is excellent - I am always impressed with those who write well in a language that is not their first.

By loving them, they stop...
Love is light, when you light the darkness, the darkness disappears.

This morning, when I was trying to sleep,
my consciousness moved slowly to the center of my heart,
like entering the void.
First, i experienced joy and love energy coming from heart,
but then moments later my mind started to become noisy,
it kept telling me the fear of dying, losing breaths, etc.
I tried to love the fear but I failed.
So I tried to concentrate on breathing,
by focusing on the sacral and solar plexus area,
which I heard will help in reducing the fear,
It helped but the moment i started to leave my head,
my breath suddenly stopped, like sleep paralysis,
the fear came back again, this time the mind became noisier.
and then I was thrown back to head again

*sigh* fear is the hardest to overcome imho
I think i need to understand fear more.
