Love As A Unifying Force + Some SP Guidance

Love keeps the world turning. It’s the supreme desire — the thing people crave more than anything else. Even when we desire material objects or experiences, half the time, we do so in an attempt to derive more love from others. And even in instances where we don’t desire material things for the sake of their earning us love, it’s usually the case that A) we already feel we have “love,” and it’s left us feeling unfulfilled and seeking something else, or B) we are so materially unfulfilled — we’re living so much in survival mode — that all of our wants are directed toward earning ourselves safety and security, so there’s no capacity left with which to desire love.

Despite all this, love is incredibly misunderstood.

What many people think to be “love” is, at best, approval and, at worst, a veiled form of hatred. I know it might sound ridiculous to suggest that people could mistake hatred for love, but we’ll get into why this is the case. And I’m not trying to say that people have no experience with real, genuine love — everyone knows what genuine love is and feels like, but that doesn’t mean they won’t misinterpret other things for it.

Today, we’re going to talk all about love — what it is, how you can get more in touch with it, and how a misunderstanding of it can lead to SP troubles.
