(4,949 posts)We can never see love. Love is not visible, not tangible, unprovable, yet we see the effects of love.
If it were not for love none of us would exist, nor any part of the human world. No buildings, cities, libraries,
art, literature, medicine. I guarantee You none of us would be here to contemplate these questions and discuss
our own consciousness (collective or individual) and the rest of the universe which we are becoming aware of if it
were not for love. Someone loved You, hence You exist. A Mother's love, a teacher's love, a Father's love...
--so underestimated, underrated, so taken for granted, yet here You and all of us are because of it.
As for our minds, it is experienced in our bodies as our brains have no pain or feeling neurons/receptors.
I believe that with all the various forms of communication emerging we are headed towards a collective consciousness (Émile Durkheim (18581917). For one example, the atrocities of war will no longer be hidden from the public consciousness. Another example is the public response to the murder of Trayvon Martin. Many minds communicate, emotions (energy in motion) are expressed and action is taken.
