A greater love is empathy and the ability to expand your consciousness to include more than just yourself.

It's not very healthy to hold back on giving and receiving love.

Nonetheless, there are other forms of platonic love that can be expressed - particularly that of hugging or holding a pet. I think humans love their pets more than they love each other! Because animals don't speak words and hence are non-judgmental and unconditional in their love for you.

Other types of love that can come about from a type of repression of intimate love can come about in what is called in psychological jargon 'sublimation'. If you are unable to show the love you have inside for somebody, you can sublimate by buying them really nice stuff or giving them other types of attention etc. There are endless varieties of sublimation.

Always good to see a thread on love. You mention various kinds of love between one another, and there is also the love that is inherent and prior to all these forms that we perceive.
The prior unity that we all arise in, and are modifications of, is conscious love, light, energy, and is the "medium" in which all forms arise.

We are connected in a vast field of apparently infinite relationship, and inherently not separate. We humans tend to think we are independent entities, separate from everyone else, but in reality, we are completely dependent on the field of modified light-energy we all arise in.
Those that recognize this can be filled with the inherent conscious light-energy-love that we all arise in, but most of us tend to block this reality from our feeling awareness due to wanting to have a sense of independence and separation.
Hopefully, some day soon we will all learn this and live cooperatively much more - then there will be true peace.
Thanks for the thread.

When you feel pain it is a kind of energy that is focused on the damaged area, love is a vacuous energy that absorbs pain and usually the fear associated with it.
Generally, it only works with more than one individual.

When it comes to attachment you can say that you "love" chocolate and that is a feeling of enjoyment, but you don't really care about the chocolate itself - real love is something that has to be proven through actions, not just the experience of a feeling.

To prove love and foster it, you must perform selfless acts, and you have to genuinely care about others.
The opportunities we have to develop a "heart" present themselves when others are suffering because we wish for them to be happy.

It is always nice to see these universal truths being stated and brought to bear for many reasons as you mention, and perhaps as a call to arms for those who will choose Love and peace over the call to arms for hatred and judgement of others not conforming to programming.

Mankind doesn't need to do this so that ET's will accept us or leave us alone, but rather to conquer the corruption that permeates the planet like a cancer that is fast becoming terminal.

Most of the ET's that I have heard of do not possess love or kindness themselves and are usually void of any emotion. They do seem to understand why nuclear weapons are prerequisites for a failed society however.

Lately I have felt a battle waging within my own soul against love and I can see that this is done by an evil force that has multitudes of hidden creatures who hate the human race and have infiltrated by using mankind's own vanity and pride against us so that we "compete" to the point of destroying others, conquering us by dividing us. And by destroying the foundations of family by any and all means.
Yes 1 has observed forms of sublimation from moderate to extreme types and at times wonder does this leave the individual still in LACK of LOVE due to trying to appease another with sublimation who may be unhappy with them in some way?
Or is that person suffering from a hidden form of depression that they do not even care that Love is not transmitted from the individual they are attempting to sublimate more so then is attachment generated to the benefits provided? Giving gifts and sharing benefits with the one you love to make them smile or happy to 1 is ok, but if your doing it to keep the attraction of someones interest who is not interested in you in the same way @ times 1 feels that can become a problem for those who practice this behavior...
