will to live

Man (and many other beings) need nothing to live. Man's will is the factor making their life to occur. Once the will to live or, to be exact, to create life, is stopped, life stops.

Practically, as long as you have the will to live in your present body, you keep it living. The more consciously and the more you focus on creating life, the more Love you feel. Love is what you feel when you are creating life or when you are around a being emanating life creating energy.

In short, in this universe that we perceive to be dualistic (two opposite sites create unity), there are two kinds of beings representing two kinds of opposite forces -- suns and suckers (vampires). None of these are good or bad, they are both needed to make Life to exist.

Many beings are just one of the two forces -- suns or suckers, they cannot choose or change. But man can choose. When you choose to emanate, you are a sun. When you choose to suck energy, you are a vampire.
Most people are not aware about this and they unconsciously do one of the tings -- emanate (in other words they Love) or they suck energy from their surrounding, from other beings.
Sungazing, holding a tree, some pranayamas, sex intercourse, healing practices and many more can be one of the two actions -- emanating life creating energy (Love) or sucking it. This depends on your will.

So, you can hug a tree while Loving it -- you are giving it life, or you can suck the tree's energy -- you are absorbing energy from this being.
You can gaze our Sun and suck its energy or you can emanate Love directing it towards the Sun.
Same when having sex intercourse, you can Love your partner or suck the energy your partner is emanating or you both can do the same action.

When you choose to be a vampire, you can keep the body living as long as you will and have energy to suck. So, when you live on Light or on prana or air or whatever you choose to, you are sucking life energy.
When you choose to be a sun, you can keep the body living as long as you will, then you do not need any Light, prana, sun, air or whatever.
At any time you can choose, change your decision.

None of the above actions is good or bad, unless, of course, you define and believe it so. Both actions are needed for Life to exist.
