ANATOMY OF LOVE

Love is rearranging anything as MINE

If you are uncomfortable seeing LOVE and MINE in the same line, consider the converse way of defining love. HATE is rearranging anything that is not mine, and it is easy to understand. Then, ‘mine’, the remaining of that which is not hate, can be called love.

The very idea of surviving is accumulating more of the world's material and extending our boundaries, just like Alexander the Great did to annex the neighboring countries, or a big conglomerate company goes on amalgamating more companies. Big fish eat small fish. Protein eats more protein.

There is a sensible and practical need for us to perceive everything in reference to ourselves.

My idea Vs others idea.
Myself Vs others.
My body Vs the world.

This can be extended to my identity, my family, my country, my religion, and my caste. The notion of me vs. others is created out of our own insecurity and for practical self-management issues. Mine will no longer be mine if it grows too big to manage and protect.

Hierocles’ Circle Model of Identity

The notion of ‘Mine’ is like drawing concentric circles with varied degrees of insecurity or comfort zone around the idea of ‘self’ to protect it. These notional concentric circles are compartments of relationships around us to hold and preserve our self-worth. Self-worth is needed for maintenance and future acquisitions and expansions.

Pride is the binding glue to hold these notional circles around the self. Pride is the gripping arm that holds the baggage we carry. Pride is the currency of self-worth transaction to maintain the compartment of mine intact. Pride gives the solidity to our perception of self and our existence. Pride provides worthiness, weightage, and mental gravity for all other objects to circle around the self. If pride is self-worth energy stored like water in a dam then love is flow of self-worth energy from the dam.

Fear, inhibitions, and hate are the walls that constraints the love energy from flowing. Love has to over come the resistance of fear and hopelessness to flow freely. It is the trade-off between self-protection and self-regeneration. Love is energy flowing into the territory of unknown, unpredictable and wild. Love flow has to be fierce enough to plow through the uncharted territory and that can be possible only with excessive self-worth, pride, hope and faith filled to the brim of fearful walls.

Fear is flow of fearful thoughts. Fear is resistance. Fearful thoughts resist and alters the flow of actionable thoughts. Fear gives stiff resistance to the actions of embracing new ideas and new frontiers. Fear is ignorance, ignorance of favorable possibilities. If love is flowing, fear is flowing in reverse direction or controlling. Controlling the fluctuations by creating boundaries, as an effort to maintain the status quo.

The control of mind happens through restrictions we put using intelligence. It is like instructing a child not to look into the internet. It is an instruction to limit the child’s intelligence. It appears like regulation. Grammar is a regulation for words to flow, rhythm for a song, ragga for swaraas. constitution for a flow of country.

Energy is ready to flow in all direction, only we can make a path or a canal to regulate the flow using intelligence. But in no way we can claim that we can tame our mind. The energy flow is quite intense and can breach the barriers of intelligence all the time. பசி வந்தால் பத்தும் பறக்கும்.

Love is the energy that flows to breach the mental boundaries we put in place in the name of intelligence. Love free us from enslavement of our own intelligence. We fuck so hard to break the inhibitions, to get into an unknown territory, to release the seeds that are buried deep within us, with a firm belief that new territory is also mine. Love is a security cover for consignment transfer. Consignment of nutrients that are carried by the river to plants and animals along its path. Love is hugging so tight. enveloping, wrapping, taking it inside and engulfing to an extent that it feels like mine and boundaries are rearranged and redefined.

The flow of love energy, rearranges the space in its path. Love is creating space for other objects to exits as mine with pride. With love energy flowing, we are no longer ‘mine’, we are the space that allow many objects, people, experience, ideas, thoughts to exist and ‘mine’ cease to exist, only the flow exist, flow of love!!!
