The State of Being: by Nicholas Powell. January 9th, 2006.

"Real LOVE is not an emotion. It is a State of Being. It is the natural State of Being of everyone, of who they really are, of their true vibration. Everyone seeks to remember their natural State of Being Love because it is included in the DNA coding of every human being. Only how that seeking is expressed is different. Quite often people will seek to know themselves as love by expressing its opposite. Quite often people will create what is not wanted in order to understand what it is they do want. Quite often people will reject the very thing they want most because they do not feel worthy of having it. Hurting themselves IS their way of asking for love.

If the perception of negative feedback is being created from the projection of love, then perhaps both parties are working on learning the same lesson. Both are creating hurting themselves in order to know themselves AS love. As long as one looks for that love outside of themselves, they will never find what they seek, for all love must start from within. Begin there, by BEING Love." This is a quote from Trans-4-Mind.

When I first read this quote, it intrigued me enough to question it. If love is a State of Being, then does love exist outside being. What is the state of being?

Perhaps the state of being is all there is. Then one thought lead to another. Furthermore, maybe being has nothing to do with anything outside me, no objects. Also internally, nothing effects being either because my thoughts, feelings, and even my body are objects. Anybody who is observant enough realizes that all objects are constantly changing. If that is the case then being-ness always remains the same, in the moment, never changing. I have memories from my childhood and when I think about how I felt then, I notice I still feel the same except everything around me changed. Even my thoughts change, feelings change. All objects will change in time. I realize that being-ness does not know time, space, or objects. Just like your memories perceive no time, space or objects around them. If the understanding that being-ness never dies or changes form, what is time compared to being and how we perceive time? When I imagine ‘no time’ then what comes to mind is forever-ness. Yet what is forever-ness compared to time? In time, forever-ness does not exist. Therefore, being-ness as compared to forever-ness cannot travel within the realm of time. Being-ness does not exist on a continuous line of time. Being-ness is forever always there. Being-ness is all there is, all there ever was, and all there will ever be. Conceivably if being-ness is all there ever was then it was before anything at all, even before the universe of all creation. Yet, what were you being before creation? Just Being, to say you were being ‘something’ is to merge with an object and you are not an object.

Being-ness is the only thing that exists and ever will exist. Everything else is identifying with an object. Fear, pain, and suffering are the misidentification of being-ness to an object outside of pure being-ness. You identify these objects with who you think you are in the ego of will to receive through self-interest, the body, everything in which effects you. Objects (ranging from thoughts, feelings, body, and anything else you can perceive) flow into our lives, show us things about ourselves, and then leave. Being-ness is on going, unchanging or effected, always present in every moment.

Conclusion is that love is a State of Being and Being-ness is all there is. There are many words and understandings to explain this. Use could easily use the word: I AM-NESS in the place of Being-ness and get the same result. Hence, what one is meant by: I AM THAT I AM. To say I am love or I am being love is to misunderstand ones true self which is relate-able to no object of emotion or feeling. Therefore, using the quote above "Real LOVE is not an emotion. It is a State of Being. It is the natural State of Being of everyone, of who they really are."
