Rob,
Ā
I canāt disagree with the way you describe it. That said, when words like āmemoryā are used loosely, it seems to point to something thatās beyond the word. If you ask me to try and really explain what that word means in the context I am using it, I canāt do it. Thatās just the word of the moment. But, itās just a word.
Ā
Scott

It would be interesting to understand K's greater point from this small clip.Ā I was left wanting to understand more about what he was pointing toward.
To echo what Andy added, there's too much in experience that suggests that memory is a part of this experience for me.Ā Maybe if thought fell away, so too would the memories, since in essence they are thought-based, but too many examples of sensory experiences (smelling, tasting, touching/texture, etc.) triggering memories, and right now it seems like thought will always be a part of this living experience.... but ask me again in a year...Ā š
I'd ask, Rani, what exactly is true love?Ā "True Love"??Ā Would it be fair to say that when one points to 'True Love', aren'tĀ they really just pointing to that 'ground of being' where all things arise from?Ā Does that have a definition?Ā Can it really be 'Love' if it includes love, hate, sadness, joy, red, green, sun, moon, stars, cancer, newborn babies, pizza, brussel sprouts.... all of material experience and existence in whatever form it takes?
I have thought of this a lot. I always felt that I dont have Love in me as this is unconditional. WE talk about a dog giving us unconditional love to some extent it too is conditioned by our input of love. Is compassion , kindness, empathy, caring, and helping all not a part of LOVE? I guess it is. But I watched the last Pope and Dalai Lama and several saints, there is something in them that draws us to them is it LOVE? Often wondered.Ā
I guess I have wrestled for a long time with the phrase 'God is Love', and all I am ever left with is, "What do I mean by God?" and "What exactly is included (and excluded) from Love?"Ā Gods Love I dont know. Who is God I dont know never seen IT. However I have seen women and men who draw you like a magnet. they have some energies that promote positivity and goodness, and thoughlessness too....then in their presence you forget yourself. Are they walking Gods? I dont know.
Ultimately I don't know, but the more and more this spiral of unfolding goes, lots of terms, including love, seem like they are good pointers, and I haven't grokked this yet for myself, but others who seem to have that heart awakening / opening experience will use the term love, but also are quick to say that love is largely insufficient to capture what they are point toward which does not exclude anything we experience as embodied humans.
