: Greetings Butch,
The word love still keeps puzzling me. But what it does signify, is an emotional preference for something.
In Wing-Tsit Chan book, The Way Of Lao Tzu, (Tao-Te Ching) the line in verse 13 says,"He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire." well, that seems to point to the ability to realize reality through undifferentiated eyes.
So, the question is, if we sense that opposites are to be synthesized and harmonized how can there only be love? Is holding love up above all others, a false prophet.
in peace,
gar
