The Science of Love

Does every human being bear the capacity to love truly, or are certain individuals blessed or chosen? All human beings possess a latent capacity to love, but this gift may become active or may remain dormant forever. Is it possible for a person to learn to love? How? What are the steps? Any person can learn to love, but given that love is a field of knowledge, it is necessary to apply oneself conscientiously to training in that field, which consists basically of developing higher consciousness. For this it is necessary, first of all, to develop the ability to see oneself objectively, to take notice of the real causes that motivate our feelings, thoughts, and actions, thereby allowing us to reveal the underlying selfishness that prevents us from having empathy with people. It is also essential to understand that the Universe is holographic and that all living beings are united by the same lines of life-force, and that, therefore, if we offend or insult others, we also harm ourselves. What are the manifestations of real love? A dissatisfaction with one's own insatiable desire to receive, receive, receive, as it is this desire which leads us to a position of imbalance with nature and with our fellow-men and women. Facing up to one's own "voracity" is a powerful experience which, if we deal with it appropriately, awakens in us the desire to truly love. This consists, first of all, of giving without demanding anything in return, and of not doing to others what we would not want them to do to us. To express it in the most basic and simple way, "true love" means to love with one's BEING and not with one's PERSONALITY.
