Edgar, et al. (ALL),
Far be it for me to moderate a co-Moderator.
But I for one will keep my post on-topic.
I will refrain from gratuitous _ad hominem_ attacks (here).
Thus, I will not speak about Edgar, because I do not know the man. And any
knowledge I have of him would not suit this Forum's topic.
Instead, I'll comment on points Edgar attempted to treat:
Love is an attachment.
They say that it is the opposite of the other dualistic pole: Hate.
To (claim to) love something does not mean you are seeing clearly, or ever did.
To play Angels'-Advocate here, I evidence alternatives:
It can mean at least, that you are Susceptible; easily taken-in; taken in by
self and others; hung-up; attached; wishful; hopeful, and do nor really love;
lazy; self-satisfied; other-satisfied; easily amused; looking for distracting
entertainment; needing the Ego stroked; stuck in the dock; able to claim you
love only by narrowing your vision.
In other words, not awakened.
Edgar, I am not talking about you. I instead list a few pitfalls that some
people have at times commonly believed to have been love.
Yes, all human foibles can be accepted as part of our true nature: but only if
you are limited by Thinking.
