Description: Q: What is love? Often it seems to be unreachable. A:  Love is misunderstood to be an emotion; actually, it is a state of awareness, a way of being in the world, a way of seeing oneself and others. Love for God or nature or even one’s pets opens the door to spiritual inspiration. The desire to make others happy overrides selfishness. The more we give love, the greater our capacity to do so. It is a good beginning practice to merely mentally wish others well in the course of the day. Love blossoms into lovingness, which becomes progressively more intense, nonselective, and joyful. There comes a time when one ‘falls in love’ with everything and everyone they meet. This tendency to be intensely loving has to be curtailed because love, curiously enough, frightens many people. Many people cannot look fully into another person’s eyes for more than a brief second, if at all. This is especially so if the one looking at them radiates lovingness. Some people even panic when exposed to love. Some spiritual treatises teach that there are really no stages of enlightenment, as though it were an all-or-none phenomenon. This represents the unexamined view or only a partial report that was conveyed by some teacher for a specific purpose to a specific audience at a specific time. To fully understand any statement, we need to know the context within which it was made. Study reveals that saintliness is a descriptive term applied to people who have reached, usually, the calibrated level of the high 500s. At this level, joy leads many to become spiritual and inspirational teachers, healers, great artists, or even great architects who create the great cathedrals, great inspirational music, and the production of beauty in all its forms. Enlightenment proper, that is, the replacement of duality with nonduality, calibrates at 600 or over. We could say that any calibration of 600 or more formally denotes enlightenment.
