Primal state

Without love, there would be no life, so I believe that love is the primal state of consciousness. It is the force that makes everything in nature dynamic and flourishing and we perceive this energy as love. The reason why it feels beautiful is because we are life, and life is supposed to love and be dynamic. It's not just that kind of love you feel when you're in love with someone. It's the kind of unconditional love for life. If this energy is gone, it would be stagnation, and we would feel lifeless. A presence where this energy is missing feels rigid, monotone and repressed. A presence that is filled with this energy feels dynamic like an unbridled dance, like how everything in nature just flourishes, flows and follows the rules of life without any constraints or hesitations, as you're living life and doing things from your soul. And of course there are also states inbetween. You can only feel it when you know the difference. There would be no light without the dark and vice versa, because we wouldn't know about the difference if one of them would be missing. The more you face the dark, the more you can see the light afterwards.
