How big is your heart? How much love can you hold? How much love can you give? What are your limits? Do you know? If our bodies and minds are like machines that have limits, is there a limit to the extent that we can love? Does love come from inside of us, or from someplace else?

Love is truly what we are. Children of light were Created by Love that can only Create like itself. In that sense you are liken to your Father. Everything else is illusion.
To limit Love or God is impossible, but to be in illusion is to be in opposition, where opposites are possible. To "believe" the unbelievable is to be in an impossible situation. Such are the dictates of the "ego," or more correctly, who you think you are. It welds the chains of bondage. This state is referred to as Hell.
Your bondage is as total as your freedom. Love is total. You cannot love partly, or love some of the time. In the illusion you seem to choose between love and fear, but only one is true. This will continue in time until God's children learn they need not choose at all. Then time will end, because it will no longer be needed.
It is the arrogance of the ego to "believe" it can limit "You" who are unlimited.

I think there is no limit to how much love we can feel. I believe love has many faces too. I cannot imagine a world without love, its the most important driving force there is.
Namaste

Well at this point in time I tend to think I just do not get along with human beings and there is a mutual unattraction and no love at least for me is possible and I should just leave it at that. I have had pets I utterly adored and when they left I felt a great hurt like a cavity that begged to be filled and was empty and would never be whole again. There was NO substitute; something was missing; part of me was just an empty aching shell that would never be whole ever again.
That would never change and I also had to accept that. But I did realize there were other things to experience and perhaps love. In a perverse way my emptiness became a part of me too; I was bigger then before; unless I chose to forget (which I can't) it was always part of me to be part whole and part empty.
Was that so much an enigma? Or is it better to define yourself as experiences instead of possessions or security? I realise now my capacity for love does expand slowly with each time I experience it. It is not so much an empty vessel that hungers to be filled as it is cavities that were nutured to perfection and remained after their completion. They seem to remain as a framework to suport future cavities that would be filled.
One of my favorite dreams is to experience total amnesia. I go around town saying "I don't remember anything". "I don't know anything". "Sorry I can't help but I don't even have a name or a place to live". When I wake up I wonder if that was just a selfish gesture on my part to disown what life has given me. Love and hurts and all. People who can't sense and remember are probably incapable of learning and never can progress. The granites accross the street from me may be millions of years old but they havn't changed in all that time. I though we as living things would be capable of more then that!

My love is endless, limitless Clara, even when my mind says give up, my heart still cares. I only want the best for people, life is too short to want anything different. Even if you fall out with someone, you should always wish them the best, you may never want to see them again, you may wish they never came near you, which is fair enough, but you can wish them the best elsewhere.
You have to remember that there is earthly love and divine love, if you connect with divine love, you can still do the right thing, even if it feels, slightly against how you feel. Divine love release and forgives, it lets go of what was, so everyone can move on.

To me to try to answer this question I have to ask myself,,, what part of my Self is asking it. I see people existing on multiple levels of consciousness. Me as a personality self and ego self is the one living and learning to be more loving in daily life. ( Hopefully) It is an evolving process. I think it can grow and learn to embrace and can learn to be more compassionate in everything it does… it has choices and lives with its choices. Relationships and life situations of all sorts are test areas it uses in order to grow.
The second level of Self to me is our Soul or Higher Self.. Which is much more aware of me as an Individual over many life times and many many incarnations and experiences, ,, but this Soul self is still evolving also.
Then there is the SPIRIT SELF ( capitals here) which is directly connected to Universal Love and Wisdom ..it is directly connected to the Godhead.
As I learn to integrate more of and my Soul self and Spiritual Self into my personality ,, and realize more and more that is who I am … my answers change.. At the Spirit Self level of my being I am Love Itself.

Hey Clara
Many people wrongly think love is something you do. In reality love is something you are. To do something usually requires a beginning and an end or goal. This tends to establish boundaries and definitions. To be something requires nothing but acceptance. In this case it's accepting that you always have been and always will be this thing called love-if you allow it. So don't do love, be love and and watch the limits disappear.
