    I think, ultimately, that ultimate love is beyond sensuality, but we all experience love at whatever stage we need to at any particular stage in our life, and so nothing is ever wrong for you when you are at the stage you need to be at.

    I agree. We learn ways to express or give love through our life experiences and different stages of self awareness or realization...as parents, as friends, as lovers, as neighbours, as teachers...and the forms can be verbal, through actions, or sensual..and the wisdom to know how or what the other person needs or what will give them the space to figure that out comes with that. It forms, and is informed by, our intuitive understanding of how our presence, including our bodies or understanding of another's physical intuition and communication can serve others.

    I like that. In addition to my meditation it reminds me of going for a solitary walk in the woods...I come out of such experiences with more love to give to others..

    I think we understand each other :)

    I also think I once told you of the healing, cleansing and sparking sensations of feeling the *****les and scratches of having a besom swept gently and lovingly over my skin...and that time spent in ancient woodland or near the movement of the sea has much the same effect.

    But I think you're interpreting the 'finding love in menial tasks' too literally. It doesn't mean one should seek toilets and laundry to find love..lol -- it's simply a kind of metaphor which means love is found in the smaller things and doesn't arrive permanently from external achievements like the perfect job, romantic relationship, or perfect health. Love is simply there, like breathing, even in the small stuff.   You may be happy for awhile when you "get" these big achievements, but it doesn't last long...the glory fades...these external achievements are not infinite as love is...

    I'd offer that it's in these mundane tasks where there is only our quiet self, that we find we can generate Love, for ourselves, that we can choose to feel it as gently or intensely as our wounds require, any time we need to, and it only increases our ability to Love others in the ways that they need.

       Am I really that much more interesting than the topic itself? 

       I mean, I get it - I sort of am - but surely there's more to be said about the topic itself before we dive into my hugging habits and what chemical compounds I'm familiar with?

    You don't want to be the Case Study for the thread?

    Fortunately, topics like this give others a chance to express their thoughts and feelings on the subject, and appreciate or learn from other perspectives, so I doubt you'd be alone ;)

    I'm not a professional quack-salver like a lot of modern 'doctors of philosophy' though.

    You just do it as a hobby?

    Awh, because I don't buy into some silly theory about how love is everything and everything is love, I must need a hug! Let's repel critical thinking with acts of love, and smother free thought with hugs until there's no opposition? 

    I'm sure you've heard of oxytocin, dopamine and seratonin?

    Oh, wait. No. This is neither off-topic nor flaming, so. Meh?

    See? Hug needed..

     If you have enough spare time to 'philosophise' about how cleaning the dishes is a step along the path of love, you should find a more meaningful way to contribute to society.

    Thanks Orwar. What are some more meaningful ways to contribute to society? What do you do in your spare time?

    People are obsessed with it. The expectations people have from life are irrational to the bizarre. But most people don't have the time to reflect and consider how skewed their perspectives are, and so quite readily throw their attention at the feet of anyone who can offer them a glimpse of hope through a factually wrongful and misleading piece of text that they can consume, feel wiser for browsing the words of a self-proclaimed philosopher, and think that it makes them happier.

    Do you need a hug?

    I blatantly don't care about PhDs, they toss those out at the drop of a hat these days; besides, appeal to authority seldom rubs me the right way. Heck, I know of people who earned a PhD in 'the history of cow names', whose pursuit was purely for the sake of getting to attach a few letters to their names to make them feel important. 

       I'm also wary of folks who use fonts based off of Chancery script on their books. That's an abomination. Especially when it's in partial all-caps. I mean the way that title has been printed, you know it's just going to be a bunch of touchy-feely rot. 

    The OP predicted this 😮
