Speaker B: I'm asking you the same question that I ask myself. Think of a moment you felt loved. You felt really loved. Think of that moment.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: Right? Do you realize that when you were feeling that love, it is impossible that you are feeling what that person is feeling for you? Do you realize that you're feeling love, but you cannot feel what the other person is feeling for you? You are perceiving that that person is loving you.

He or she might even be fooling you, making you believe that she's loving you. It doesn't need to be true. But as long as you perceive as true that he or she is loving you, you feel love. But if that's not the love, his or her love, what you're feeling, what love is that?

So what you're feeling—I then realized that whenever you feel love, what you're feeling is your own love, is the love you're emitting, is the love you're emitting for that person.

Speaker A: Yeah.

Speaker B: What you're perceiving outside, which may be true or not, doesn't matter. What you perceive acts as a faucet. If what you're perceiving is love, you open up the faucet and let your love emerge. If you're perceiving hate, you close the faucet.

In response to that perception, you stop your love from flowing out. You're conditioning your love all the time. That's how you condition your love. We act as filters of love.

I realized then something I heard a long time ago from Serge, and I didn't understand what he meant when I heard it, but now it suddenly made sense.

You are always feeling the love that you emit. If you're not feeling that, it's because you're not loving.

because you've closed the faucet, right? Wow. When I realized that,
