Children of Dune was Herbert's best book, I think, though not as introspective as God Emperor of Dune. And like every story that has truth in it, it is only the characers that love and learn to love that we care about. Peace and Blessings! The wheel must turn and turn on the golden path.

Larry, yeah, it's like I remind myself to love maybe a couple of times a day, at best, and even as incomplete and imperfect as it is, it's still something that amazes me. And it amazes me that I missed it so long. James, I think you're right. It has to be something more than actions. Sometimes I feel like scratching out the word "feeling' in these last few posts and putting in "attitude" or something else. But it is "felt" to a degree, even though it's not "that feeling" that everyone sings about. Trev, I got Pronoia yesterday! I'll start reading it this weekend. Julie, Yep!

In other words, life is excited to give you signs and messages - its just we're usally mentally preoccupied. Glad you were open in that moment... and that it's inspiring you - and therefore the rest of us - to live from a place of LOVE - both feeling it AND acting from it.

I don't know, I'm thinking aloud really. But I doubt this somehow. This kind of love manifests through a range of feelings: yearning, empathy, heartache, joy, ecstasy... But how would we know if it was manifesting at all, if we didn't feel it? By observing our own actions? Is it possible to experience love without feeling it? I don’t know, I’m thinking aloud really.

How to love. We're commanded to love, and with the willingness comes the power. The power of course may be a journey of 1000 miles. Feeling the love as you did there is a special grace that comes to us occasionally. It happens more readily and often for some people than for others. Maybe they have less karma to work through. I knew a man once who 'ran' an AA group. He had been dry for 20 years, but not sober. What I mean is that his world was AA, and he had no use for anyone else. BUT he loved people in AA. That was 40 years ago. Hopefully he has now learned to love some other people. (It was hard for him; he had a lot of karma.) I know other people who seem to love everybody, and it seems for them it's as natural as breathing. Especially blessed. Whatever your lot, love all you can, as best you can, and through the years that feeling will come more often, and you'll find it easier, until it becomes second nature. That's my aim, but brother, I'm still a long way off. Just <a href="http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/i/highergr.htm" rel="nofollow">pressing on</a>.
