Hello everybody,
In my opinion, Love can transcend all barriers, Love has no limits, even death cannot stop Love. My question is - Where does Love originate from? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I believe that love originates from God and we have love in our souls. The closer you are to God, the more love you can feel. This is how I see it  |

Love originates in the heart of God, the heart of the universe, the creator of life, it has the power to bring anything to life, it is the giver of life.
Without our heart pumping blood around our bodies, we would die, the fundamental source of life passes through our heart, therefore, if we wish to give life to anything else we must give from our heart, the place where our life originated from on this earth, blessed with God's love, the giver of all life & love.

Oh here comes the dip stick lol Love is emotion based and comes from the brain via chemical reactions. BUT who created the brain, gave it chemicals and neurons. The source gave us the spark of life and evolution made us physically what we are today. But energetically we are a part of the source. But none of this would be possible without creation.

Love IS... just as God IS... love is not an emotion, it is not something physical or mental. Love is the fabric of all creation. It is because our physical brains cannot fathom what Love is that we have made love so many things... lust, envy, jealousy, happiness, joy, and let's not forget falling in love or out of love... we don't fall into anything... love is not an emotion... we mask it, shape it, and mould it to into something it's not... Love originates with God and spreads forth creating all of creation... Love is as God is in everything and everyone around us... Love is you, and love is me. Love is Life...and Love is Death... where can we know what Love is?... In our hearts, as Leon has pointed out... Love is in every cell of our bodies... but it is the heart that connects them all together and that love becomes greater in unity... hmmm... kinda like us... united we stand.. divided we fall... metaphorically and physically.  God blessed us all with Love! Silvia |

Kaz I've heard love comes from the heart and that's good enough for me. I can't explain it really but I know it when I see it.

Love is all. Love is the bridge between the unmanifested to the manifested. Love is the beating heart of the universe. Love does not originate in a physical body.
Those who have experienced a NDE or near death experience talked about the love they experienced after the death of their physical bodies. So much love they could not even put it into words. Nothing of the physical could explain what they felt in the non physical.
My question.. if love is experienced outside of the physical.. how could it originate in the physical?

Transcending our own egotism in order to love, SO THAT people's hearts are healed and fulfilled, is the whole point of life/spirituality. So the question, "where does love come from" creates a real distraction from the importance and immediate need TO love. Love itself is good enough, right? I mean, heck, we sure feel the importance of being loved, and the beauty others experience when we love them! The human mind does not need to agree with it or know where it comes from. Our heart KNOWS it's good, it's great, it's God. Let’s get busy!
Hafiz, the great Sufi poet wrote a brilliant poem about this:
WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THAT MOON?
A wine bottle fell from a wagon
And broke open in a field
That night one hundred beetles and all their cousins
Gathered
And did some serious binge drinking
They even found some seed husks nearby
And began to play them like drums and whirl.
This made God very happy.
Then the “night candle” rose into the sky
And one drunk creature, laying down his instrument,
Said to his friend – for no apparent
Reason,
“What should we do about that moon?”
Seems to Hafiz
Most everyone has laid aside the music
Tackling such profoundly useless
Questions

It's an incrediably difficult question to answer I feel, once upon a time I may have answered something along the lines that love is within ...its unconditional it is a constant flow from this world to the next.... but now I'm not really sure I know what love is and whether it actually exists ..and maybe that's the answer I like what Floraloak has said its an interesting view |
