    Would the substance I ingested have make any difference to you understanding me?

    BTW I was str8. The only thing I was getting high off was slight injections of opiates delivered my my own body to itself (internally)

    Zen has great influence on me, how I understand and how I conduct.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm no master and no less confused.

    Western people hear this. The east has something to say and it will enrich you.

    as we nearer Zen our doubt increases. Hence the "Moment of great doubt" before enlightenment.. This is the archetypal Zen story.

    One who realizes that they are no master already have one eye open 😉

    Without God there is no perfect love, which casts out fear.

    He's asking you to explain how you think this is love.

    Because he didn't grab a spear and run them through?

    You're the one who called this 'love'. It's on you to explain what you mean.

    One of my favorite passages, brought me through some dark times.
    This passage reminds me to rein myself in when I get too full of myself.

    He's really rather pitiful if that is what he thinks love is.

    "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

    It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

    Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

    It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." -- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NIV

    That's what love is.
