Is Love the "we" emotion?

Is Love the "we" emotion? was created by orasis
I've been playing around with observing the conceptualization of objects of experience. So from the perspective of no self, there is usually an object "I" and if there is another person within visual sight there is an object "you" or "they". If I shift the perspective and treat both "I" and "You" as equal objects then there becomes as space of "We" and the feeling of love often arises in that neutral space. Is this what love is - identify as "we"? Is this the Christian ideal?

That feels familiar to me in general. It reminds me of this feeling I had of being "with" all other people, as one movement, one choreography, that I describe here: alittledeathblog.com/2012/10/24/being-with/

And also reminds me of the sense of loving connectedness that can come from using the Christian reminder (also found in some other religious traditions) to recognize Christ in other beings, or to note the divine aspect of all objects/things/creatures.

Both of these experiences seem to me to by their nature open one to a sense of love, peace, patience and so on...

My own experience of love since the last shift is much less "personal" than what came before. I still do feel compassion, tenderness, etc. for others, but it seems to be possible to just shift into the experience of love, so that anything I am looking at, becomes the object and provider of that love. I just tried it a second ago with the computer screen and the feeling is there along with a tenderness and a slight smile. This may be what giragirasol is referring to as the "divine aspect of all things" for it feels like a love for existence. My new year's resolution is to be in this space all the time. Just kidding. That'd be exhausting.
