Do you want to know WHAT LOVE IS???? ILL TELL YOU WHAT LOVE IS!!!!!! LOVE IS A GIGANTIC PAIN IN THE ASSSSS we scurry around like rats searching for our partner getting dreams and visions and impressions of the girls we like and then we are rejected or accepted based on whatever critera or circumstance we are in at the time and finally once we find someone WE THEN REALISE WE COULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN EVEN HAPPIER WITH ANOTHER GIRL WHO IS ALREADY DATING ANOTEHR MAN! THATS love for you. HAHA PROVE ME WRONG!! this life is a joke. The more insight God gives the more you see how we are rats in the darkness. Surely God is laughing at my helplessness. SURELY HE IS LAUGHING!!!! Having a good little chuckle. Right GOD RIGHT?????? Dont deny it.. What a pity that there is noone in the world or this forum who seems to have the wisdom or insight to help resolve the issues that I have and the problems that God literally brought out of the earth like mud monsters from a fantasy book here to throw mud at me and laught at me. You should all be happy that none of you have the issues that I face. Last edited by LordOfGoblins; 07-25-2012 at 01:40 AM. |

Physical attractiveness is one piece of the pie we call love. For some, it is the most important piece, but for others, it is the least important piece. Others may place a higher importance on social status or personality. For me, I think I choose this order: (1) personality, (2) physical attractiveness, and (3) social status. God throws you in a particular culture, in a particular time, in a particular location, and with a particular body and mind. Oh, you didn't have any choice about it, so true free will becomes questionable. Peter can't choose to become Christ. Likewise, we can't choose any woman we like. For example, I might choose Julia Roberts as a potential mate, but would Julia Roberts choose Ahanu? No, probably not. Maybe God would find my choice hilarious (who knows such things?), but I disagree with you when you say, "The more insight God gives the more you see how we are rats in the darkness." It seems to me that better insight leads to better clarity in the dreams and visions and impressions of the girls we like. Turn back to Julia Roberts, because if I were truly obsessed with this woman, thinking that I really had a chance with her, I would still remain a rat in the darkness obsessing over a piece of cheese surrounded by hundreds of rat traps and poison. The obsession with Julia Roberts wouldn't turn out good. Sometimes we have to reevaluate our visions of our future mate, or even how we find one. You wrote about interesting fantasy images, such as "earth-like mud monsters." Maybe you will find a fantasy-lover girl. Think of the places where you could find her. Stay positive. By the way, I'm sure there are people facing bigger issues than you when it comes to finding a mate. Check out Chandra Wisnu, the guy with "the bubble skin," and his son, who is currently single and manifesting the same symptoms. Now that is a guy facing big ass "earth-like mud monsters" hurling boulders and mountains at him instead of mere mud. Put things in perspective. Stay positive.

theres no point going into it really. God doesnt treat me FAIRLY. HE DOESNT TREAT ME LIKE HE WOULD TREAT YOU OR OTHERS IN REGARDS TO APPARENTLY NORMAL ISSUES. Small things double in the problem they cause for me. It might sound strange or weird. Im not someone like a drama queen who blows things out of proportion but at times I feel things MORE ACCUTELY than others do and MOST ACCUTELY is things related to love. Im Literally spent. Im totally a spent soul in this regard. There is nothing left of me. Look inside my heart and youd see I have absolutely nothing more to Give. WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM ME?????? I cant go into the things that have given me problems over the years. It will just darken this forum and what good is that to anyone? In regards to dreams visions and impressions though. You might meet a girl who is beautiful or you might meet a girl whose soul is beautiful and who YOU ARE WEEK TOWARDS. That is their power over you and the intoxication that you suffer as a result. You know what love is right? You have felt it before. I could just have a dream of a girl holding my hand and smiling and walking with me. It doesnt have to be sexual at all and thats not really the point. Im not talking about lust but nor do I know how to separate love from lust when it comes to a girl. Its sortof a whole package right? You love them or lust for them to different degrees BUT THE OVERALL POINT IS THEIR AFFECT ON YOU AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM... alright so there you have it. And this is not even a glimmer of what I could really talk about in regards to SOME OF THIS BEEP THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH... Lets just leave it. I dont want to bring my stuff to this forum and i should never have posted the initial post to begin with... |

LOG - God never tests a Soul Beyond its cspacity, if ou have lots of tests you could have lots of capacity  We are given the tests to perfect our soul and release us from attraction to this world. There are soul mates out there for you and I think it may be that you might just try to hard to find them? Love could be the surrender of self. The more we let go of out ego the more we are able to partake of what may be the ultimate love. Yes this is very difficult to do and will always be a lifetime effort. I wish you well with all the issues you are to face and may God bles you with a Love. Regards Tony |

LOG - Thought I would share dream I had the other night after reading the Tablet to Nabil where Bahaullah answers questions re the origion of the Universe Link - Bahá'í Reference Library - Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, Pages 137-152 I found this Tablet very moving and whent to bed thankful for reading it. In the dream I was flying free above the earth and out in front of me was a white flower and a bit further a white dove. I caught up with the flower and the dove at the same time and they both brushed against my left cheek and I could feel thier softness. As soon as this happened I broke out into powerful song about the meaning of life (Unfortunatly I have lost the Lyrics to memory) It was along the theme that life is self generating. After I finished the song I broke out into praise for Baha'u'llah for sharing such a moment & woke up with this thought. IMHO Life is full of meaning, we have to learn to know ourselves to find it. This life is but a gereation of Gods Word and if we look at creation all the answers are there for us. Regards Tony Last edited by tonyfish58; 07-26-2012 at 12:50 AM. Reason: Spelling |

Abdul-Baha had something to say about what is love.... This is the truth and there is naught beyond the truth save error. Know thou assuredly that- Love is the mystery of divine revelations! Love is the effulgent manifestation! Love is the spiritual fulfillment! Love is the light of the Kingdom! Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit inspired into the human spirit! Love is the cause of the manifestation of the Truth (God) in the phenomenal world! Love is the necessary tie proceeding from the realities of things through divine creation! Love is the means of the most great happiness in both the material and spiritual worlds! Love is a light of guidance in the dark night! Love is a bond between the Creator and the creature in the inner world! Love is the cause of development to every enlightened man! Love is the greatest law in this vast universe of God! Love is the one law which causeth and controlleth order among the existing atoms! Love is the universal magnetic power between the planets and stars shining in the lofty firmament! Love is the cause of unfoldment to a searching mind, of the secrets deposited in the universe by the Infinite! Love is the spirit of life in the bountiful body of the world! Love is the cause of the civilization of nations in this mortal world! Love is the highest honor to every righteous nation! ~ Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v3, p. 525 |

I assure you God does NOT take our consequences away from us. Our consequences are the result of who and what we are. The only way to get better consequences is to grow spiritually. I can only tell you I wish, I so wished I had worked harder on myself than I did. I find I took the easy way out more than I thought.
