is being awake or truth-realized just like being asleep in a dream, only you know that it's a dream, so you're not afraid of anything because it isn't real? it seems what this process is largely about is getting over deep-seated fears. as far as i can tell, i am fear. because if you take away all fear, what is left? love? what is love except a byproduct of fear? if there wasn't fear, there would be no need for this tangled mess. if we weren't afraid of death or no-self, we would have no need to propagate this big fantasy world, therefore...where's the love? you have to have a reason to love. if you're truly not afraid of being alone, then do you really need love?
someone said that human beings can't live without love. i'm wondering, do i really need love? i imagine without it i would become very sad and depressed, and those are negative things that i've been taught to fear and run away from. perhaps i should embrace sadness and depression. love isn't real anyways, i can't prove it exists...do i really need something that's made up?
loving and being loved makes me feel good--makes me feel great, as a matter of fact--but...this isn't really about feeling good.
