"how do you show your love to your world?"

Khaos wrote: What is love to you? Given that it breaks down to a chemical cocktail inside your body.

No, love does not breakdown to chemical cocktails in the body....

Love does cause certain chemicals to be activated, and therefore physical reactions to occur...

But, reversing that process, elevating those chemicals does not create love... Only the physical reactions...

Really? Show me love outside of a human body. Or a mammalian body if you prefer.

Certainly, you might send me a picture of people hugging or kissing, but that isnt love, perhaps expressions of love, but not exclusively so. Not only that, but you have said physical reactions occur after chemicals are effected.

Chemicals are activated, and we call them love, and you can activate those chemicals in another.

Show me love in a form onto itself. Because apparently its a measurable energy that has a binding effect on the Force.

Certainly I can concede that other animals may share the same chemical reactions, but thats about it.

Again, a conclusion offered with no real backing of evidence.

I would state that love is the force. it is the bonds that connect all things, it is all things, it is life and "stuff".
It is the consciousness that guides us.

Lack of proof does not mean it doesnt exist...

It means merely it cannot be proven... ( I might add, "at this time", lol...)

Come on Khaos, lol...

All sorts of things we purported to exist before they could be 'proven'....

But the effects can be seen, regardless of whether or not it can be proven to your satisfaction....

Something triggers those feelings, just like they trigger the feelings we have for hate, envy or any other emotion...

Prove what they are... Or are not... lol, besides an idea...

So how do you connect with your world?
How do you radiate or amplify the love in your world to increase the connective power of the Force?

I feel it begins with learning.

- Always seek to learn, without thinking you already know.
- Through learning you address fears and insecurities and establish trust and genuine wonder.
- Through trust and wonder you become aware of beauty.
- Through the awareness of beauty, you may find beauty within yourself.
- Through finding beauty within yourself, you find what there is to love toward yourself.
- Through finding what there is to love toward yourself, you find the same thing to love toward everyone else.

The above process is not intellectual, and you cannot "think" your way through it. You cannot "make it happen". You can only "let' it happen when it is ready and when you are not in its way. It is not simply a belief or a philosophy. It is a naturally created, steadily drawn-out realization that grows within you as long as you let it.

What comes of it, is simply whatever it is you unquestionably love to do in the world and who you decide to become through your adventure.

I try to work on myself so that I can be of the best service possible. I also try to be kind enough, even while I support people in their growth, to allow them the space to be whoever they happen to be without me needing them to be different.

They are both difficult, but the continued effort when it is hardest is loving as well.

I do my best to clear my field so that my true love for people can radiate out. I do my best to let go of my judgement, resentment and biases that can block my divine care for all life.

I try to do it through kindness and generosity. I'm pretty confident that I have never once made an enemy through treating them badly. I like to think I am good with that. Also, I just try to encourage people to be friendly with one another. It might not make a huge difference at first, but the small changing of everyone's behavior can solely make a difference.

Bhakti Yoga.
the act of loving oneself and the force.
being love in ones life.

I define live as acceptance, appreciation and care.

I find the challenge is being awake to the reality of our present state of being and still being able to love into it. Can I accept and appreciate the present state of our world?

One good days, yes. On down days, I am challenged.

How to you remind yourself to love first when lost in the humanity of the situation?
