Hello, Mr. no,
How can we live in love and joy?

Love is different from other feelings.
Love is not a defense mechanism.
Love and happiness have a special place in what we call the "feeling world".
Take the feeling of anger as an example.
When we carefully look at what anger is, we can find that anger is actually just a defense mechanism that exists for us. When we express anger, we are actually protecting ourselves from potentially dangerous things.
The feeling of "sadness" and sad emotions, crying, are also a defense mechanism. It allows us to release what we can't bear or can't bear.
Anger is usually rooted in the abdomen and solar plexus.
This is why when we fully express our anger, we will feel strong and our abdomen will become warm. We feel strong.
Similarly, when we express our sadness, we will feel relaxed, relieved and more calm inside.
For "love", it is somewhat different. Love is not a defense mechanism.
On the contrary, love is openness to anything that happens in front of us.
Love is the core of the universe, love is our essence, our essence, so it is not a feeling.
We are love, and bathing in love is our natural instant experience, because love is ourselves.
But we seldom perceive it and consciously experience it.

As a personality,
Love "does not exist"
When we "fall in love" or care about someone, the feeling of love we experience is only the echo of the essence of our love.
When we "fall in love", we will suddenly open our hearts to another person without our usual judgment and needs.
The sky suddenly turned blue and all the dark clouds disappeared. At that moment, we were very close to our true colors.
But this experience, in most cases, is only temporary. Soon, dark clouds will cover the blue sky again, and love will turn into bitterness, hatred and even hatred.
Love looks at the world around us with amazing eyes. Love is amazed at everything that appears on our journey. Love resonates with the beauty around us and our own beauty.
As a personality, love "does not exist".
When we live as a personality, we can only "fall in love" at most and feel love or care for someone.
Love is simple existence, and we are love.
With love around, joy naturally flows.

Happiness is the fragrance of love.
Without love, happiness will not appear.
We will think that joy is due to what we got or what happened. If I can have that thing, if I can reach a certain position and state, I will be happy. And such happiness is superficial.
Happiness needs no reason, just as love exists without any purpose.
Just as we are love, we are also joy, and joy is the fragrance of our nature or true nature.
The core of my work is to support students to experience that they are loving and happy.
This doesn't mean feeling love or joy, which will mislead them into thinking that I have finished.
Of course, it's always good to feel love and joy, and I support this, but this is not the end of the road, it's just a short rest on the journey.
A student wrote a calligraphy for me: "Tao".
I like this calligraphy very much and make sure it hangs behind me in every seminar I have; It reminds us all that the "road" is the most important thing: nothing can be accomplished, only the "road" itself.
Dear friends, I know that my answers to some specific questions may be difficult for some friends who are not familiar with "spirituality", which is completely normal.
I don't want to give you more knowledge, so I just take these words as an invitation to explore deeper, an invitation to look for meaning inside you rather than outside, and an invitation to experience the meaning contained in these words directly.
be in love with each other
