E230 - Pondering - What is Love?

It’s February  -  and in one way or another the topic of LOVE seems to be swirling around us.  Valentines' day, hearts, chocolates, balloons, and stuffed animals greet us when we enter most stores. We begin to feel the energy of spring, and many might find themselves restless.  We crave more of earth, and the energy of plants, animals, and the long days of sunshine. 

What is Love -   OSHO says – There is no definition of love.  It is one of those indefinable. I cannot define it. I cannot say that ‘this is love’,  I cannot show it to you.  It is not a visible phenomenon. It cannot be dissected, cannot be analyzed; it can only be experienced, and only through experience do you know what it is.   But I can show you the way to experience it.  

 Albert Einstein -  wrote that Love is a better master than duty.   Love and duty are the two main forces that motivate us to act, yet they operate differently. Duty appeals to our sense of honor and responsibility, sometimes against our own will. Love, on the other side, is selfless and giving. Love gives wings to our soul.  

So what is LOVE?  If everything is vibration, and everything vibrates, isn't LOVE just another vibration? Is it ONE vibration or many?  Listen as Laurie ponders LOVE
