arthur says

you heard the song "love is in air"or love make's me feel like a kid ,so you know what love feel's like but don't really know how to discribe it.

Vlad says

love is not defined by one's loneliness or togetherness. love is that feeling which surpases the 5 senses into a sense of fullfillment, joy, sharing. love is ups and downs, plunges and larks, but ultimately love is a bilateral flow of emotions and a connection that u can feel with your last and every atom. love is all around, sometimes hard to find, sometimes false, love can be selfsuggestion... love is the most wonderful thing that the supreme being has left us with... sometimes i hear people say, i don't have enough lives to love you the way that i want to, the time is to short. but the power of a relationship is not measured in time, but the intensity of the moments spent together have a happy valentine everyone. i know i will, even though i'm single

First of all; Love can not be shared until one first loves ones self. If you are not happy about who you are, It is difficult to share love. Once you are ok with who you are, Love is always being sensitive and aware of what the other person needs to have a fulfilled relationship with yourself. Being sensitive to each others needs and going that extra mile to let the other know just how precious and special they are to you. Thank you for everything Burt. You are the medacine I need subscribed for my well being. You are a lovely human being.

Hi Burt, I think there is no paralel universe but in reality we are opened with each "dot" of present to an infinite "futures" that don't exist but they might, all depending on our mind, on its capacity to build that sort of future. In a meditative state of mind, our consciousness is low an the inconscient is taking ove,r being a lot more powerfull than our self, limited usually by social habits and education. Is this state the one that frees our mind and opens the "gates" towards that idea, that glimpse of genius wich we cannot reach in a normal(in a way abnormal though...) state of mind. So, the meditation is good, the discovery of our self in a presumptious better situation is in fact our own creation and with that focus in mind we will really build the future we think about.
The same principle applies to any other strong intention we might have and pursue. If you believe, it is going to happen , no matter what, as Jesus once said. I truely believe we are capable of a whole lot more that we know - we just don't know and are too bond to the immediate touchable, material exstance. I will buy your work in my attempt to reach that depth of free mind.
Sincerely,
Oliver

Love is an unconditional present.

The infinite, eternal, ever giving ever loving, ever living never needing anything in exchange. it just gives without conditions.

Love is a 100% positive viewpoint = programmed and conditioned, ego mind state.(lust/greed taking, business in the guise of charity

Peace love and blessings,
Nick

Susan says

Hello Burt,

Thanks you for the weekly Dear Burt. Each week I look forward to listening to your thoughts and ideas. I had a good chuckle when you mentioned "cheese sandwiches", I have heard you use that example before and anticipated it before you said it. The video sparked a Valentine card idea for my husband... I'm going to make a card with a list of 10 things I love about him.

All Love and Cheese Sandwiches...

Hi Burt; from early teen-age years of trying to pinpoint a meaning of love that I could relate with and understand was difficult; you have exposed the meaning to a new light and make it enjoyable to understand . . . thanks for that;

Joy Kassy says

I know exactly what love means from my own heart.
I loved my family relatives and friends and neighbours close to me are part of my family.
The day I found out my husband had been cheating me under the tip of my nose, by my overtrusting his hipocrisy, I lost the meaning of love. Only a link with my 4 boys exist for when they need me. I cannot find the words to describe the feeling. I left family life and lived single life and now enjoying work to sustain my existence. Only God knows where life he is taking me

Leona says

Hi Burt:
I often wandered what love is also. You helped me to look at it again, and I think that our spirit's are one, so we have unqualified love. On the other hand, we none like tacky or ugly ways, which makes us want to stay away from the people that profess those ways. Thank You Burt for sharing.

Florine says

Love is that all your cells in your body are connected to the power that gives you life,happiness and positive attitude and it doesn't have an answer except that you are aware of some feelings that wasn't there before.

Marilyn R Williams says

Hi Burt - Great topic. I can't really say that there are or ever has been a human that I love at the 10 level. Most of the humans I "love" have been ones that I haven't met in person and have been helpful - such as yourself. I'm not even sure if there are any needs I have that a human could fulfill.

Maybe my lack of needing/wanting love from humans stems from my mother hating me from the time she found out she was pregnant to the day she threw me out of the house at 15 years? She was not shy about saying, "I hate you and wish you had died!! Why, why, why didn't you die??!" pretty much every day of my life - she even taught that saying to my father and sister - so I heard it from one of them at least once a day and some days 20 times. I find humans boring and petty for the most part.

Most people I've encountered say you can only love humans. I disagree because I know that all things are living in their own way and can love as well as accept love. My house is an example of this. I love my house - at level 10. And, my house loves me at level 10. My house protects, shelters and encourages me. I protect, care for and appreciate her back. How do I know my house loves me? One way is how she has kept the old, decaying roof together despite extreme wind storms. Wind storms where all the other houses lost shingles and in some cases, had to be re-roofed. Her roof is 30 years old - it was cheap when the last owner put it on and the only reason it has lasted this long, is because my house loves me and I love it. The same with my car - I could detail a list of reasons how I know that my house, car, trees, flowers, fish, bird, wildlife, TV, chair, you name it loves me and I them. They are my family.

I know I'm not the only one that accepts life in all it's forms. The American Indians have plenty of belief in the variety of life, for example.

Humans can change the degree of love they feel, but the rest of the "people" don't - or at least rarely and only under extreme abuse. And, that's what makes the rest of the people so special.

I'm going to sit done and write out a list of my needs from a human. The old list is no longer valid. Maybe I'll find something?

As always, I hope you have a fabulous day, week and month! While I can say, "I love you," I also know that if I saw you drooling, I'd gag and run in the opposite direction!!

Ed Bergeron says
