What is Love? (EP.8)

Join us for Episode 8 of "The Voices of The One Mind" podcast, featuring Bear Saorin. This episode dives deep into the nature of love and affection, examining the intricate layers and meanings behind the word "love."

Bear explores the difference between affection and true love, discussing attraction and bonding. He delves into the concept of unconditional and conditional love.

We discuss how love can be measured by the heart's ability to transmit its quality. Bear asks, "What does my heart feel when I share my heart's wisdom?" He emphasizes the importance of open, genuine love that isn't expressed to receive something in return.

Bear offers that love is often expressed non-verbally, with true love shown through deeds and acts of service. He touches on the pitfalls of expressing love verbally without genuine feeling, highlighting how people can fool themselves with stories.

Bear also touches on "fish love," where professing love can harm the object of affection. He draws parallels to how conflicts in relationships can "kill" love, leading to confusion and the need for healing.

Emotions and feelings, Bear explains, are often reactionary and can create detrimental stories. True love, however, remains constant and dwells in an open heart space. He explores the differences between self-love in psychology and motivational contexts versus a deeper, universal love.
