"Love is too slow for those who wait; Love is too swift for those who fear; Love is too long for those who grieve; Love is too short for those that laugh; but for those who really Love ... Time ... is Eternity ... and Love stays on ..." It's a Beautiful Day

David R. Hawkins, in his book "Power Vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior", describes consciousness as a continuum ranging from Shame as the most negative (Energy Level 20) to Enlightenment as the most positive (Energy Level 700 - 1000), with all other states of being ranging between them. Here is his description of Love:

"Energy Level 500: Love

Love as depicted in the mass media is not what this level is about. What the world generally refers to as 'love' is an intense emotional condition, combining physical attraction, possessiveness, control, addiction, eroticism, and novelty. It is usually fragile and fluctuating, waxing and waning with varying conditions. When frustrated, this emotion often reveals an underlying anger and dependency that it had masked. That love can turn to hate is a common perception, but here, an addictive sentimentality is likely what's being spoken about, rather than Love; there probably never was actual love in such a relationship, for Hate stems from Pride, not Love.

The 500 level is characterized by the development of a Love that is unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It doesn't fluctuate - its source isn't dependent on external factors. Loving is a state of being. It's a forgiving, nurturing, and supportive way of relating to the world. Love isn't intellectual and doesn't proceed from the mind; Love emanates from the heart. It has the capacity to lift others and accomplish great feats because of its purity of motive ... Love focuses on the goodness of life in all its expressions and augments that which is positive - it dissolves negativity by RECONTEXTUALIZING it, rather than by attacking it ... this is the level of true happiness ... "
