Wanting and Loving

Want something or someone, love something or someone... what is
real, do either exists? Not in Truth, but in the dream they do
arise. Don't confuse the two. In my experience they are mutually
exclusive. It's impossible to love someone and want them and
impossible to want someone and love them.
Your experience, your thoughts, your loves, your wants .... ???
??? ??? ::) ::) :P :P
Love ya, Jed.

Yes, to want and to love is usually mixed up due to emotions
that ALWAYS lie. :-)
To love, really love, means that it's not necessary anymore to
want, that's a great benefit.

I believe Byron Katie gave me this one, ''Emotions lie, but only
always''.
Cheers.
P.S. I may be wrong about that source.

very intangible....
Love ya, Jed.

I overuse the word love a lot, shaping it to fit the context of
the conversation and assuming the person across from me
interprets it correctly.
At this point of understanding, it seems to me the nature of
self/reality is unconditional acceptance. I've wondered if this
is the same as the love talked about by the great sages. And
have indeed taken the liberty to use the two interchangeably.
IF, and that's a big if, this is accurate, then I'd say the two
are not mutually exclusive because unconditional love/acceptance
would have no issue with 'wanting', just like it has no issue
with people hating each other, garbage in the ocean or lovers
eloping, etc.
It also has no problem with any bastardized application of the
word love, so we can absolutely want someone, something and love
it. By experience, it seems both appear permissible. So, not
mutually exclusive.
But do they exist, I have no idea, Jed. Ugh!

Love, for me, is something that is slowly and progressively
shifting (thankfully) in terms of directionality....specificity.
Previously, of course, from perspective of the memory of my
personal history...love was always something externalized and
attached to something which is, at its heart, doomed to
change/shift/morph...."die" to become something else because
"wisps of dreamstuff", as you so eloquently put, cannot do
anything other that what wisps of dreamstuff do: morph, shift,
change and ultimately....disperse.
Thus, the inevitable disappointment/anguish of "love lost"
associated with the folly of fixation....trying to grasp,
control, fix the "object of my affection" in place....something
which cannot be grasped, controlled, fixed. Really, for "love
found" to become a perennial experience for me (and I do want, I
confess, to be "in love" as much as possible as long as
possible....because, honestly....I LIKE that feeling!)....it
must become omnidirectional...flexible...open...specifically
nonspecific. It must become aligned with the underlying reality
of the fluid streamy-ness of wisps of dreamstuff.
In that respect....."love"...has more to do with a quality/depth
of awareness than anything else.
