It is the understanding that nothing external can bring you true joy, because it is conditional. If that external object doesn't fit your minds idea of what it should be, you suffer. If you are attached to the car, its lose brings you suffering. But if you do not identify with the mental labeling that something tragic just happened, then you can be in the state of unconditional love. Unconditional love is outside of the duality of the mind. The mind labels things good and bad, but with duality, you have the possibility of suffering, and with the promise of change in the world, your inner state, if you view things as good and bad, you will always be at the mercy of how your mind identifies a situation. The point is, you don't have to be, if you can detach from the duality of the mind.
Yeah, so until you have something better than ramblings that could be ripped straight from an Oprah book of the month, we'll just agree that you've got nothing.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
