Love Is the Experience of the Unity of Being

Are there different types of love? And are there degrees of love that culminate in the love for truth?

Rupert says love is simply the name we give to the unity of the world. When we experience love, what we're actually experiencing is the oneness of reality. Even at the level of ordinary friendship, when we feel love we're feeling the collapse of the sense of separation, the collapse of distance.

And because love is the absence of separation you can never really love a part, because there are no parts in love. If we allow love to become exclusively focused on a person, we are really violating a universal principle. Love can express itself in numerous ways — love of truth, friendship, intimacy. But it's the same unity of being. Love is always love of the one — it's the only love there is.
