Tenka: .. So what in your eyes is capable of loving? A cardboard cut out? An appearance empty of any real substance . Some would say love is real, how could in this instance something real be of something not .
Love, caring, a sense of deep interest in the well-being of a spouse, a sense of deep communion and understanding with them, is all experiential. It's no more or less 'real' than anything else that arises within experience.
"Love" that is transcendent of experience, is but a mere pointer to that which defies capture with words.
This is the whole point in ascertaining the nature of appearance .
As soon as a peep makes reference to this reality being this or that, dreamy or illusory one has already set the tone .
Again what you call dream stuff is not realized and you agreed with me on the other forums of this even when you spent an age saying it was a direct seeing thing that made you see the story as it is (roughly translated) ..
What I am seeing is that you can turn everything on it's head in regards to your dreamy, empty, experiential stuff and experience genuine love from real life peeps whom really care .. Love never dies so to speak no matter what, it doesn't matter if love is expressed through a temporary mind-body experience .
So it would be helpful if you could answer the question .. what is capable of loving? You have already admitted that you feel the love from others .

Ultimately, there is actually no 'thing' that loves, that sees, that cares, that breathes, that feels. We ascribe those things to the apparent body/mind, but that too is but an appearance within the dream.
