Animals have a hundred times bigger and more open hearts than humans. I’ve never experienced human love but I experienced pure innocent unconditional love from animals and that love has saved my life. Animals see only goodness, they have all qualities you refer to as love.
Yes, but I think there is an awareness of love that is missing. They simply ARE love. Of course they're also vicious. They are pure nature. I think what A.H. Almaas is saying is that humans can experience, deepen, and expand love. I don't think animals are doing this consciously. Although since animals seem to be on a spectrum of consciousness, I wouldn't be surprised if some animals do in fact have this ability to sort of dance with love.
Humans and have capacity for love and aggression, mostly reactive aggression which comes out of defensiveness and is based on instinctual drives and desires. I think we are at the beginning of our journey towards greater love and connection but need to become aware of our defensiveness first. Realising that this defensiveness is natural and not bad is necessary to overcome guilt and fear. I think we all need more teachings on how to decode our defensiveness.
@5:40 you say that most other countries (apart from the US) don’t have a history of slavery and racism- would you please elaborate as this is easily disproved with a very brief glance at human history. In fact it continues today unabated in many Islamic countries like Mauritania.
I think what he is referring to is that most countries did not have slavery as an institution the way it was institutionalized in the U.S. for so many, many years. He would not deny that it existed in many other countries, like England, but in the U. S. it continued well into the 19th century and, of course, the dynamics of racial inequality to this day. Nor would he disagree that slavery was part of many tribes and cultures back into antiquity.
@@DiamondApproach The US is primarily unique in the sense that it abolished slavery and racism on an institutional level; the fact that you had it the way you described is in fact the sad norm in human culture and societies.
Emotional love is derivative of what you may be referring to as spiritual love. Love is the primary affect in the soul. You might say it arises out of the unity and connectedness of all the particulars of true nature - their essence is the same and the recognition of that is a central element of what is called enlightenment. That being said, to integrate love or any other spiritual qualities into our lives, we need to address the issues (history) that blocks or distorts the natural arising of our nature into our present experience. These issues and conflicts arise because our nature is pushing them into the foreground as it arises.emotional So, yes, you can experience spiritual love even though love is problematic, but it won't be sustainable as it will be conditional to a very specific set of experiential parameters.
So your Diamond Approach's self-professed dedication to open Inquiry . . . means you just delete comments you're ignorant about (?) You should be ashamed of such hypocrisy . . .

He's talking about modern history. Not 500-1000 years ago. There are still elderly people alive, in the US, who's parents were slaves.

Thank you for the talk. One question: who is the music artist?? I would love to know :-)
It is from the album: Suite Andalouse;
The piece is called: Noche Gaditana,
What if you never even experienced the emotional love? Can you jump on directly to spiritual love without passing via the emotional love?
