Here I go weird again, oh well :-) I feel that Love is very simply a transfer of the Life force. The source is that "thing' in our mind that I've been talking about. We can waste it on inanimate objects (clothes and jewelery come to mind), though I think some mechanical stuff, such as autos, seem to respond at times. To give it to beauty and goodness is simply spinning the big wheel of Life, i.e. the simple pleasures of Life. I believe we can give it to animals and they can reflect it back to us. I don't believe animals actually Love, the maternal instinct is an instinct. Loving people has the potential of extremes. One can give it all away for naught or be rewarded exponentially. I don't believe there is a direct link to eros. I do believe that two who do Love, can do so Lustily, and soup up the Love exchange to extremes.
