Chapter 13, Shame disturbs do your upmost not to feel it and not to bring it upon others.

Chapter 12, There is no loving without healing, and healing opens the way for one to grow up and start to understand what love is beyond what we are taught in youth.

Chapter 11 was more of a remembrance of what I have learned with some reinforcement and additions to what i lacked, Death is forever present so think of life and love thinking of life.

Chapter 10 has shown me that love is a choice, and like all choices it has risk but being alive is a risk in itself so why run from this risk if you arent running from that one.

Also I think I have formulated what my definition of love is or atleast its starting to take form.

The key element of chapter 9 didn’t necessarily resonate with me but, what is important is me maintaining the mindset I have as it’s how I believe love should be seen not in power but in connection.

Chapter 9, be grateful for the “community” we have fostered no matter what it may come through family, friends, coworkers, even pets. Be grateful for it all and work to enhance and keep the relationships full of love and not deceit as that is what helps you live a loving life.

chapter 7 was the most thought provoking and implemented the most self analyzation within myself in the space of greed, and man is this a good read if your capable of picking yourself apart.

My biggest takeaway from chapter 6 was you can’t experience love living in fear, your mind will never allow it to be love truly, and to consume what you want to experience which i’ve been doing but a restatement with a deeper elaboration opened my eyes to the possibility of it not just being a violent aspect but in all regards in terms of emotion.

we should all strive to view each-other past anything but our capability to love and be loved.

Chapter four spoke heavily on self love but it made me question the values of how i love and whether my love is conditional or transactional, and made me wary of the overconfidence or arrogance that comes with how i love my self

Chapter Three to me may end up being a recurring read as truth and honesty in all areas is so essential in being able to love but not only that the power of lies in each persons creation of self is so dangerous that its important to have a reminder to why we shouldn’t let ourselves get trapped in deception.

This chapter stepped into love in childhood and how important it is to not only receive it but for it to not show us love in a light of abuse or physical punishment.

Me taking away that im fortunate to have been raised how I was as love from neither parent nor my grandparent that assisted was ever in question to me.

Oh also the idea of cathexis and creating a separator for what love is and isn’t.

The introduction and first chapter opened my eyes to the idea that there may be a way to define love outside of and intrapersonal level, and now has me wondering what that definition could be

Very Freaky Lil moment they shared.

Wow, simply wow

From What I’ve gathered so far this book seems to be about the destruction of the intellectual in pursuit of what is believed to be happiness, and a man who isn’t happy as his brain is beginning to realize that the life that he is currently living isn’t happiness but potentially the concept of ignorance leading to bliss.

wow its getting intriguing

hrmm

So Far a Tad Bit Confusing, but it gives me a dark fiction vibe.

Felt Like I read the prologue, we shall see how it develops

AHHHH THE BIG REVEAL HAS FINALLY HAPPENED, I’m getting dangerously close to the end though…

I think it’ll be revealed to Aisha what the truth behind the kokun is soon.

Learning about Olie and Masyu, and how cunning and forward looking Masyu truly is has been amazing. This book has me hooked deep.

Olie and Aisha’s potential first meeting just made me binge read through almost 40 pages.

So Far it’s very intriguing and has me wanting more every chapter I read.
