Love is a self generated experience of magnificence, a deep connection with oneself that produces, as an emergent property of seeing reality for what it is, an emotional and mental sense of joy and appreciation for the beauty and perfection of what it is to be human.
Hi Holiness the Dalai Lama once defined love as a “complex state of attachment” which is why I named my record after the statement.

and what a good choice of words the dalai lama has to say about love…it’s really complicated to mention it…i do agree that it is an emotional and a mental experience…
I don’t even know what you said, nor what it means.
Love has different levels. It is also applicable to different people in different ways. It is a strong attachment and affection to someone or something that leads one to do good for the other in order to benefit and/or please them. It is always mutual and always reciprocal.
You put me in mind of some of David’s psalms when you talk of magnificence. When you read them with your mind in the ‘right place’ his unbounded sense of joy at being in love with the world around him, and his understanding of a reciprocal love for his God, floods over you.
awesome..
that’s beautiful.
I think it’s true as an overflowing experience of love. I couldn’t describe it in better way.
* As I understand it, your answer here focuses on love as the “experience” of deep connection with oneself, and from there comes the state of joy / appreciation in being truly human, (to poorly paraphrase)
- that’s cool & true
probably due to my background,I personally tend to think of love as a way of being.
Love to me is a choice/decision out of free will, in accordance with Wisdom (true universal principles), to use one’s power (thought/feeling/words/action) with no limit, for the greatest good of the one you love. The experience of love is an overflow of such decision – with love of self, others, the universe, and God.
i love how you define love,my definition has never been as deep and profound as this.i love how you chose the title of your first album,it really does describe love perfectly.
It’s not so complex as you think. Love is not a feeling, it is an action. The act of putting others before yourself, putting their well-being before your own is what love is. Read the book of John in the Bible and you will see what love really is.
