love is a state of beeing...it doesnt have to be calm,nice or pleasing warm,,love has two or tree faces in diffrent forms....it can be rage,jealousy...tough love comes also when someone you care about deceive themselves...and you fear for them..love has many faces..and its all normal.f love becomes destructive its because the individuals themselves are not living in love with themselves.love reflects the shadow aspects of the self..or the god or goddes aspect of you...depending where you are??

You are mixing human emotions and the over-acting of love, by this i'm referring to the feeling where ego comes kicking in, going off into obsession and so on. Those are one kind of so called love...the blind love, but, if you learn to look inside yourself, around you and so on, you can feel another kind of love. As far as I'm concerned the real love may come into action only after the BIG fire settles and either goes out or becomes hot "coal".

love has nothing to do with feelings. It means regardles of what a person does to you, or against you, you will remain inside the comfounds of love and to be honest the only way you can stay in the confounds of love regardless of what happens to you is if you know where it originates from. It originates from the creater of heaven and earth. Also you love others regardless of what they do to themselves. Love is an inhabit position it remains and never changes

In astrology, the three archetypes of love are the first stage, parental or family love, the second, individual love relationships or marriage and the third level is humanitarian love. We come as souls to learn one or all, and each stage must be destructive and have pain. The romance aspects of the modern fantasy mind is out dated and unrealistic. We have approximately 80 years heal the karmic soul. If you can't remember your lifetime - 5 lifetimes ago, you do not experience the mythos.

There are 2 kinds of love producing very specific brain chemistry. Dopamine response love, the high as a kite, my feet don't touch the ground type. This inspires posession, jealousy, and lust. Then there seratonin love. This inspires altruism, responsibility, a feeling of kinship. All others are variations on those 2.

Apparently the Joseph Campbell Foundation wants money, instead of allowing us to have his knowledge for free. Rolling in his grave!!!!!!

Where are the Moyers Power of Myth interview series with JC? All that comes up is this derivative crap.

To give us on Utube this was smart. It was desired right now. But I am interested in mysteries of human nature in history leading to the present, say such as the O. J. Simpson story. 'If I did it--' is anti-violence. But it is about a history involving violence as a matter of course--ancient history and sterotypes. It is unusual but directly connected to make us think what our civilization is founded on. The story of Waldeck and Mexico involves us all.
