 Beneath the narratives we spin and the agreements of words and definitions we’ve made or been programmed with, lies the truth.  

Energy needs no words to vibrate through another.  Love needs no words to find its heart home. 

Get out of your own way ~ feel without fear.

 Feeling is mostly against Buddha's teaching in general. 
 I’m not buddha. And you misunderstand.  I’m saying feel the body without the minds involvement. Buddha would understand. 
 And feel beyond the body.  We are pure energy. 
 I do remember, you said you are not Buddha. But for anybody else you still seem to be representing Buddha in some way. So I cannot resist commenting when something does not match. 
But feeling is not right. Feeling is an animal instinct. You move closer to an animal realm if  you let feelings drive, if you use feelings for anything other than just monitoring and using them to understand your own body, which actually is one of the species of animals. You do need to go beyond body. But that cannot be achieved through feeling. Feeling sucks you right back into the middle of your animal body (remember that braincells and all the electricity within, that makes up feelings, is part of the same body). Feelings, just like in any other animal where they are called instincts, are only useful for navigation in this physical world, and even in that they fail if there are rational independent creatures around.
Only rational understanding can allow you to go beyond your body and see yourself from outside of not just your body, but outside of samsara I would say.
Also love is an unusable word in modern times. Maybe it made sense 2500 years ago, I don't know,  but after millenniums of indoctrinations it can mean anything, and therefore is useless as a term. 
 I disagree with pretty much every single thing you said. Clearly, my message in the post isn’t for you. 
 I respect your conviction, and of course, am aware of the popular world view that you hold. I would never interfere, but your name and picture styles that superficially looking resemble buddhist iconography and something else in them that westerners attribute to buddhism, put me in an ackward position. I have to criticize your posts when they oppose buddha's teaching, because they do look like they represent buddhism.
Imagine you call yourself Mohammad, draw in arabic styles, and send messages how there are multiple gods or non or feminist ideas or something like that. 
 My name is stackchainbuddha on twitter.. I shortened it on nostr.  

I understand what you are saying tho.. even though it’s a nickname,  it runs you the wrong way.  I’m sorry about that, but I’m not changing it. 
 That's fine, I understand sentiments. Hope my comments will be bearable, too.
