Love

The essential meaning of 'love' is to acquiesce and allow to be. Hence, the expression God=Love begins to make sense when we understand God to mean for lack of a better expression 'the way things are'. 'The way things are' in an absolute sense. That is an expression that there is a totality of reality which surrounds and upholds my being, that allows me to participate in this total experience called "reality". If I have thoroughly acquiesced to my nature I will discover love by discovering my natural preferences. In the same a way a daisey blossoms in a field.

We tend to interpret 'love' in a subjectivistic manner, however it may be more fruitfully interpeted "objectively". For example, two people falling in love is not merely a subjective experience, it is also a window into the reality of 'dyadic consciousness,' which is a terrible way of saying it, but I simply do not know how else to describe the fact that a male and female complete themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. There is a way of knowing open to lovers that is not accessible in the singular proposition. Commonly referred to as Yin-Yang of the Tao, there is a whole that cannot be expressed in any other way than as process between polar tendencies. This is what the objective experience of falling in love refers to, we might even call it a "tuning in" or "harmonizing". 'God is love' is the strange expression which makes us wonder whether our romantic and friendly love is not of the same ilk as God's 'love' if you will.

The expression 'Reality TV' misses the mark in my opinion. Reality is all that gets left over, the unknown as well the known. A show about Reality would be a great idea. But that is actually what we call cinematic art. Reality can only be represented through a process of metonymy, each artistic image a fragment which opens to the grasping of the whole.
