Question:
When I was 13, I had this platonic love, but it was not love, it was an infatuation. So that’s not it. I have experienced states of what could have been love, an inner state I cannot describe after repeating the ‘mantra’ I am truly loved, with tears, but I’m not sure if it was really it, or just an ego trip since I was ‘being better’ than the rest of the world just because they were not able to feel that state. Towards my family and ‘beloved’ ones… I appreciate them.
It’s confusing, and maybe it’s my fears trying to get the best out of me, but how do you actually love someone? How do you love yourself? What is love?
My Comments:
How do you Love someone? How do you NOT? 
Oh yeah, that whole ego thing…
Lovingness arises when the ego steps aside. Let it go. When you look at someone, don’t judge them, criticize or condemn, label or categorize…
Anything coming from the mind is just a mentalization. Love arises from beyond the mind.
“I Love You.”
More accurately, that statement could be something like “The essence of that which I am acknowledges and appreciates the essence of that which you are.”
or “The God in me recognizes and adores the God in you.” (Namaste)
There is no “I” to love and no “you” to be loved. Those two “beings” only exist within the mind. You and I are one. In reality it’s Love loving Love. It’s not an “I” loving a “You.”
Let the ego go. Open your heart chakra. Love is the Truth of what you are. When the ego stops covering this up, Love arises spontaneously, freely, and automatically.
The question is not how to Love, for Love is your true nature. A better question to ask is how do I stop resisting Love.
Surrender!!! Let go of all resistances to Love and it will be the only thing left. 
Thanks for your question.
Spiritual Truth is something to know, to experience, not something to believe in. The joy and love and peace of God can be actually experienced once you know how to access it.
Do you need a belief system to know how many heads are sticking up out of your neck? If I told you you had 18 heads sticking out of your neck, would a debate even be necessary? No.
You know you have only one physical head. You experience it. You know it. No belief system or opinion is necessary.
It’s when you lack the complete knowingness and experience that the weaker substitute of belief or opinion (which only exist in the mind, not in reality) is necessary.
Whether or not Jesus turned water into wine, or whether Adam and Eve actually existed, it’s not something we can actually experience. Thus, it’s basically a question of whether you believe in it or not. Since there’s no way of proving it one way or another, all you have are people arguing and defending their belief systems which is essentially a big house of cards. People are terrified of what will happen if their cards come tumbling down.

We’re going to be describing the ego in terms of a metaphor which will allow us to both visualize the effects of using the ego in the world, as well as understand the necessity for surrendering the ego.
The ego is simply a tool, an automatic duality-creating machine which allows us to experience every possible aspect of life.
Now the problem is not so much that the ego itself exists, but the fact that people are identified with it.
The ego has a useful purpose: to allow us to believe that illusions are a reality and thus experience both the real and the illusory. The ego is simply a tool.
It’s similar to someone using a hammer. When a nail needs to be nailed into a wall, a hammer is certainly a very useful tool. So, people find that it benefits them to use the hammer and thus they pick it up and use it to their advantage. Cool. No problem.
It’s very clear that while you’re using the hammer, the hammer is not YOU, but simply a tool that you are using with which to engage in the process of creation. 
The “problem” is that most people think that they literally ARE the hammer and that there is nothing else they can be, so they continue hammering in every activity in life: while talking to others, having sex with a partner, dealing with foreign politics, resolving disagreements, even in talking to themselves!
…and then people wonder why the world is in the shape that it’s in.
