It’ll be days before we get to the place in Life According to ChatGPT where this question gets answered. So I’m slipping it in as a research note here.

ChatGPT: Could the experience of love reveal not merely an extraordinary feeling, but a condition in which the sense of lack temporarily disappears?
Steve: Definitely. But I have to introduce two background concepts to make the point.
A feeling is a localized sensation that we think of as happening inside us. Our head hurts. Our stomach is in pain. Our heart sinks. Etc. Moreover, our feelings can be impacted and changed by outside stimuli.
A consciousness state or divine quality like love is not happening inside us. When we’re in it, we’re immersed in it. We’re wafted aloft by bliss. We drown in love.
Love on the Seventh Dimension is like air on the Third/Fourth Dimension. So the one is inside us (feelings) but the other we are immersed in (consciousness states). That shows up for us like an immediate difference.
Moreover, I call this kind of love “transformative” because it transforms the circumstances rather than being dragged down by them. I have this thought that one person in transformative love would light up a room.
“but a condition in which the sense of lack temporarily disappears?””
Oh, definitely. Think of it from just a logical point of view. If you had everything you ever wanted (love), you’d experience a cessation of desiring (“I want”), would you not? Except for wanting more love.
And you’d call that peace. And it would be peace. Peace is a cessation of desiring.
Before proceeding, I need to remind us that love has become everything. When I say “love,” I’m including in the word’s scope the divine qualities that are born of love – bliss, ecstasy, happiness, etc. For me, “love” is distinct from but shorthand for “love and the divine states.”
Start the camera again.
The only other desire besides wanting more love is wanting to share the love that is pouring through us – after Ascension, in an eternal flow; after the Wave of Love, temporarily. (1)
The desire to hang out in the lower vibrations with “the bad boys,” to seek money, sex, and power, to experience more thrills and chills evaporates. Self-doubt and other elements of character armor fall away. We are what remains, always.
More and more we emerge, rinse and repeat.
