You are no longer confined to a human shell and the plastic cocoon it spins around itself and calls reality.

I knew it was compassion (“love” doesn’t apply here). Experience, understanding, compassion then to Love. Love here means selfless even when the recipient is not in need as the word “compassion” implies. I need the spark of “someone in need” to drive me to compassion; I know this weakness of mine. Maybe in time it will self sustain itself and grow. Compassion is the weakest link in my chain of experiences.

If you are talking metaphorically I understand. More than that would be like a radio separating itself from the music it plays.
