LH, not so sure about experiencing 'love'. When I was much younger, I 'fell in love' a few times, but afterwards I saw that it was infatuation and neediness. At the time, any experience seems and feels real, but is that in fact the reality? I suppose the problem lies with our system of labelling and pigeonholing events so as to make sense of them. We use 'love' or 'the afterlife' to categorise what we saw or felt. But there isn't and can't be any proof. On that basis, I happily potter about and blunder into this and that, and don't waste too much brainpower trying to make sense of anything. Must be because I'm old, and will find out soon enough, when All Will Be Revealed! (or not!)
