Defining Love and Hate - a Law of Life (Definition)

DEFINING LOVE AND HATE - A LAW OF LIFE
PART ONE
[Glaucon:] "But Hate is the intention to bring about disconnection
from Life, which is different from the intention to make someone
connect to Life."
[Plato:] "Indeed, Love is the intention to connect to Life.
From experience we know, that Love hurts when it is hit, unexpectedly,
by an intention to bring about disconnection from Life."
[Glaucon:] "By its very nature, then, Love includes anticipating and
detecting intentions that bring about disconnection from Life.
And in order to generally protect Life, you have then not only to
understand and feel Love, but you have to understand and detect the
other part too."
[Plato:] "Very true! And that other part, that is to be detected and
to be understood, is that Hate also tries - in many ways - to connect
to Life, but does so with the intention to bring about a disconnection
from Life."
PART TWO
[The Law of Life formulated]
To cover and include all known phenomena
of Life - and it might well be the first time
that this has been discovered and formulated by anyone -
I have recently found and formulated that,
what is actually a law of life (law, as in Newton's laws about heavy
objects).
In its simplest form,
this LAW OF LIFE is
now (now, and since the time that Hate has been introduced into
Life)
as follows:
Love connects to Life, Hate disconnects from Life.
PART THREE
[The Law of Life more expanded]
Love is the intention to connect to Life, to make people connect to
Life,
and Hate is the intention to disconnect people from Life,
Hate is the intention to connect to people in order to make them
disconnect from Life,
disconnect from what Life really is,
from what actually happened, and is happening, and to make them
disconnect
from what they actually felt or can feel.
PART FOUR
[A Law of Life makes life understandable and ethical]
Nobody has ever, as far as I know,
formulated a LAW that is - and should be by definition - that
encompassing.
It is no small achievement,
far exceeding those of Newton or any scientist or philosopher past
and present.
LOVE CONNECTS TO LIFE, HATE DISCONNECTS FROM LIFE.
It is aligning all the data on the subject of Life,
and makes these comprehensible
and capable of being evaluated and predicted.
LOVE IS THE INTENTION TO CONNECT TO LIFE, TO MAKE PEOPLE CONNECT TO
LIFE,
AND HATE IS THE INTENTION TO DISCONNECT PEOPLE FROM LIFE;
HATE IS THE INTENTION TO CONNECT TO PEOPLE IN ORDER TO
MAKE THEM DISCONNECT FROM LIFE, FROM WHAT LIFE REALLY IS.
It gives you a guideline
by which to make your own choices and
by which to understand the choices of others,
to understand choices both from the past and into the future.
PART FIVE
[Origin of Hate]
Hate was originally not present
as part of Life.
Some people therefore
find it difficult to accept the existence of Hate in others.
But Hate has been introduced
and forced upon us
by some individuals,
- at times which should not have remained forgotten -
out of their Envying those of very great Love,
out of Envy for those who could intensely Enjoy Life,
out of Envy for those who could really create and really feel
compassion
...out of Envy for you and me.
["Winning" over others]
These Envious persons tried, and try, to make Life
into "a game of winning over others."
And "winning" they consider: Achieving first
the ability to destroy others or their lives;
and
"winning" they feel then, is: Exerting or threatening
that ability to destroy others, and
disabling the capabilities of others
to Feel, to Create and to Enjoy Life and
to Enjoy being in Communication with each other.
By those bred from Hate, "Power" is then defined as
"the ability and potential to destroy the life of another."
PART SIX
[How Cowards came about]
In order to effectively be able to destroy the lives of others,
these Envious individuals have developed teams,
(they can only "win" as they see 'winning,' by repeatedly ganging
up on,
and by continuing to destroy, the very strong and the very
caring)
and
they have certain obvious restrictions against destroying
their own "team mates" - or more precisely,
they sometimes observe rules about when and where
not to destroy their own "friends," their "team mates."
From this the Coward is born,
someone who "preserves his life,"
someone who "preserves his dignity,"
someone who claims to "exert self-determinism,"
by appeasing the source of Hate.
He makes himself "valuable" or "admirable" to the source of Hate,
so as to be spared, that is to say,
to have his own life (whether physical or spiritual conditions of
his life)
spared for a while.
So, the Coward lets himself be disconnected from Life 'in order to
save his own life.'
He - or she for that matter - wants not to experience the Hate,
wants to "not be Hated" by the Source of Hate.
PART SEVEN
[Euphoria and drug use in order to not feel Hate]
Euphoria or drug use
(including drug addiction, also addiction to, or excessive use of,
alcohol or tobacco)
result from being
prevented to face (to sense, to detect) or
refusing to face
strong sources of Hate and Ugliness.
[Hate results in pain and disorder]
The physical effect of Hate,
the result of undetected, unopposed Hate,
is pain or disorder.
(Expressed in terms of Life Energy fine-particle physics:
Hate precipitates or solidifies into pain and disorder.
Such pains or disorders, as you know, are
commonly referred to as diseases, as 'syndromes,' as 'immune
deficiencies,' and so on.)
[Sources of Hate promote Euphoria, or drug use]
Sources of Hate
(and any individuals who want these sources of Hate to be not felt
or detected)
do induce or project Euphoria
by any method,
or
they promote any type of drugs,
in order for the sources of Hate not to be felt or detected, and
in order for these to then
- while not detected, not sensed or felt -
be unopposed
in generating and inflicting Hate:
Hate which results,
- if not detected and not opposed -
in pain or disorder.
[When getting off drugs or out of Euphoria]
When reversing or undoing
the condition of Euphoria or drug use,
the same applies indeed:
When someone gets out of any type of Euphoria,
or stops taking any kind of drugs
(including drug addiction, also addiction to, or excessive use of,
alcohol or tobacco)
he will again, inevitably,
be confronted with, and sense, the unwanted and avoided
Hate or pain, and disorder, and their undetected sources.
[Understanding drug use and Euphoria]
This gives the key to understanding
drug addiction or drug use, and
the key to understanding, and therefore to defining,
Euphoria (Euphoria is entirely
lacking the very high responsibility
that naturally accompanies great and true happiness).
For some who do want to be free of drugs or addiction,
it will give an understanding of
what is going on with themselves and
what or whom they are up against, or what they feel,
when they quit (stop, discontinue)
the compulsion or desire
to not see Hate.
[Demand for drugs or Euphoria]
Many however will demand
- at any cost - to not have to sense or experience Hate or pain;
Hate that does exist
- regrettably and painfully enough - in considerable amounts,
even in places where 'Hate should not be.'
But in this way, many try to avoid
the seemingly unpleasant responsibility of
having to sense, and then having to detect, and then having to
oppose
(to not give in to, to not relay, to not aid, but to recognize
precisely)
sources of Hate.
[People who naturally dislike drug use and Euphoria]
Some people have a distaste for Euphoria,
they feel being made less,
they feel being less themselves,
when Euphoria is projected at them or
when they are affected by drugs.
[Sensing Hate and disagreeing with Hate]
And some may choose
- and some have chosen, and prefer naturally -
to sense, to face and to detect sources of Hate and pain and disorder,
and
they may do so out of an inborn sense of
protecting others who are now less fortunately endowed.
They may act out of Love -
out of the intention to connect to Life
and
to keep others connected to Life.
