Love’s Significance; How Is Love Related To Consciousness?

In this article, we will examine in detail love’s significance; what love is all about; and its spiritual-intellectual, psychological, emotional, and mental importance that is intimately aligned with spiritual-emotional-physical-mental health, which signifies that through the appropriate adjustments of the alignment of the spiritual-emotional, psychological-physical, and spiritual-mental axes:

Someone can achieve and maintain success and meanwhile be able to find happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction in the purpose and meaning of life and become confident of being wholeheartedly in the right place at the right time, enabling the achievement of a deeper spiritual understanding of life, spiritual empowerment, and upliftment according to Plato’s ladder of love which represents the path of love as an ascent from, initially, pure physical attraction to, finally, love of divinity.

We might require a new approach or a new philosophy of love, in effect.

What is Spiritual Consciousness?

Spiritual consciousness is a cognitive (internal) and behavioral (external) system or mechanism in states, properties, or stages based on a promise of a potential mutual agreement (the mutual assent of contracting parties to the same terms) by bonding together (through frequent or constant association) of the two fundamental opposing or competing by their nature forces, energies, or archetypes of divine feminine and masculine (yin and yang),

in order for both of them, as action-reaction forces, reflecting a balance between the inner and outer world (as peace and harmony), to be able to relate and coexist in unity combined within the whole as divine love, with a sense of oneness with the universe, by bonding together (forming a relationship based on love or shared beliefs and experiences – a state of responsiveness as a reaction in which energy is released due to making up the bonds), felt both as:

  • peace from the Latin pax, meaning “agreement, treaty of peace, tranquility, absence of hostility, harmony” as beauty (felt as spiritual love) “that is a combination of qualities as truths, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight” reflecting inner peace – the quality or state of being able;  furthermore, inner peace reflects the ability to enjoy a lack of conflict and freedom from fear – by developing the appropriate abilities of the inner world addressing efficiently the challenges of the outer world – as a necessary condition or a pre-requisite for inner development, and
  • harmony, meaning “agreement of ideas, feelings, or actions, or a pleasing combination of different parts” as excellence “that is the quality of having high values of being outstanding or extremely good” reflecting balance “an even distribution of weight – as a response to ability or responsibility – enabling someone to remain upright and steady” by facing effectively the challenges of the outer world, a statement for real progress, 

by always supporting and assisting each other and thus creating personal reality through awareness (that is a concept about knowing, perceiving, and being cognizant of their desires and needs) by reflecting, relating and evaluating the inner against the outer world not only as opposing but also as opposite forces as:

certainty against uncertainty, status quo against change, peace against harmony, beauty against excellence, and inner development against real progress (a state of relativeness as a chain reaction in which energy is absorbed for breaking up the bonds mentioned above, by the interaction forces of cause and effect), through the fundamental or main principles of the:

  • chances to uncertainties (chances as possibilities grow in a space of uncertainty as its main purpose – not knowing what comes next is also good) 
  • choices to certainties (choices as certainties constitute the meaning of the existence of the quality of probabilities of being reliably true)
  • certainties to abilities
  • uncertainties to responsibilities 
  • abilities to virtues (as feelings, skills, a way of living, something that can be learned through experience), 
  • responsibilities to morals (as emotions, experience, or excellence) 
  • by relating virtues (as reason, feelings, or causes) to our desires (as morals, emotions, or effects) 

Chances and choices before turning to uncertainties-certainties are expressed as possibilities-probabilities by offering love (through feelings) and experienced by accepting help (through emotions).

After turning to uncertainties-certainties become opposing or competing forces (possibilities as chances for actions and then as uncertainties or probabilities as choices of the chances for action and then as certainties).

After turning around to certainties-uncertainties, they turn to the opposing or competing forces as abilities-responsibilities, by relating virtues and morals, as causes and effects (or actualities). 

In this way, by converting the status from chances and choices to certainties-actualities as succession events (through cognitive intervention) accepting love and offering help are the new opposing forces forming a balanced relationship, through a transactional activity, as purpose and meaning of life; Cognitive intervention is actually by taking action for something to occur as a trigger or a cause or an impulsive action or choice between chances towards success or opportunities, or just happen (an effect, a succession event as a reaction to action or choice between chances of success). 

Impulsive choice and free will are actually taking a leap of faith (a leap over logic, reason, and emotional boundaries based mostly on psychological factorsa belief in something uncertain; outweighing the uncertainty of an ambiguous future result or effect by making an impulsive choice as a false certainty or cause at present) in order:

  • to discover who you ”really” are.
  • to make yourself feel “whole”.
  • to feel excited and anew.
  • to have no fear.
  • to be more intuitive.
  • to feel a complete sense of freedom.
  • to achieve great things in life.

Understanding these great ideas about chance, choice, free will, love, fear and the fear of love can motivate us to work to stay consciously in a place of love. Learning how to design our thoughts and lives to keep us in this place is important for anyone who wants to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.

Reason does not contrast love and the fear of love at odds with each other—and neither does the dictionary.

The fear itself isn’t a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much we care. In a way, fear can deepen joy, passion, and love, if we learn how to find the courage to act despite it.

Rather, when people think of the opposite of love, they are probably thinking of dislike, disgust, or perhaps the most common of all, hate. And when they think the opposite of fear, they think of courage, bravery, or fearlessness.

Keeping these big ideas in mind, we can start to break down what it looks like to choose either love or fear of love in our daily lives. Here, in this article are some ways love versus fear of love manifests itself in the real world.

Fear of love destroys. Love creates”

When we’re afraid of something, we’re more likely to tear it down or throw it away. Coming from a place of love, however, encourages us to create, build, or add. If your project or your work gets rejected, you might be afraid to try again and nothing will happen as a result. Conversely, if you truly love your work, you’re more likely to make some adjustments and try again until you succeed.

Fear of love tightens. Love releases”

If you’re afraid of losing something, you might tighten your grip on it. If you truly love it, however, you’re willing to let it go if you need to. Parents learn this lesson as their children grow up and prepare to leave home. Tightening your “grip” on your children, out of fear, will be stressful for both the child and you, but releasing them with love will help them feel encouraged and supported, and will bring you more peace as a parent.

Fear of love breeds domination. Love breeds cooperation”

When someone is afraid of losing control, it’s easy for them to become domineering. Love, on the other hand, breeds cooperation. Loving couples are more likely to work together to create a life and a home that both of them are happy with. But if one or both of the parties start to live in fear, they may start acting dominant as a way of exerting control.

If we do not love ourselves, why anyone else? Rejection of self-acts as negative hypnosis: The more negative beliefs, the stronger your self-doubt. Before you can form a close bond with another person, you must first understand the most important that is saving the relationship in your life and most and foremost the relationship with yourself.

Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. Fear of love hesitates”

Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. While it is nice to be loved by someone else, each of us can only really feel loving feelings for another person and not that person’s emotions for us. To connect with and sustain these loving feelings within us, we must take loving actions. Otherwise, we may live in a fantasy.

Fear of emotional closeness is characterized by the fact that people need more and more distance as a relationship becomes closer. This situation may sound familiar to you: You want nothing more than a happy partnership. But instead of committing, you hesitate. Fear of being hurt or overwhelmed by your emotions. And instead of looking for a solution, you leave each time, you find it a little harder to relate to another person. And at some point, you doubt that you can accept love and open your heart.

Fear often keeps us from doing things we otherwise really want to do. Love, on the other hand, pushes us toward those goals and encourages us to act to make our dreams a reality. In addition, scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

Deep in our hearts, we humans long for true and unconditional love. At the same time, many people are close to their inner selves. They lock their hearts with heavy locks and do not give others a chance to find the keys to their heart. These people have a hard time accepting the love they want so much. Sometimes they do not even recognize that it is right in front of them, because love is everywhere.

Thoughts like “nobody wants to be with me” are in their minds. And although they do not have this feeling on purpose, of course, it always brings back moments when they could be happy. Self-doubt ultimately leads to stress, because when someone else shows you that he loves you, you wonder if something is wrong. This increases your fear of being hurt, frustrated, or exploited.

Love is positive. It is proactive. It looks at the goal and says, “Yes, we can do that. Let’s get going.” It involves the love of the goal, love of yourself, and love of the steps you’ll need to take to get there. You move toward the goal, ready and willing to face whatever challenges appear along the way.

Fear of love is negative. It is reactive. It looks at the goal and says, “No, we can’t do that. Let’s get away.” When you’re fearful, you fear that your goal isn’t achievable, that you aren’t capable, or that your plan couldn’t possibly get you to where you want to go. So, instead of moving toward the goal, you move away from it. So, you finally convince yourself that the goal isn’t worth the effort.

The Significance of Love in Reality Creation

Reality is a state of consciousness of having substance and experiencing existence by combining and equating the following fundamental principles:

  • Duality Principle through critical thinking (know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence that is an idealistic, notional idea (as affection) and fear of love (as intimacy) are combined to form a single unit of love expressed as chances for something to occur or possibilities and experienced as chances of experiencing success or probabilities, with the
  • Equivalence Principle through analytical thinking (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as chances of success; divide and share resources – individuals or groups of people as provable solutions or root causes – by turning possibilities to uncertainties and then to abilities or core competencies) and the
  • Equality Principle (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as choices towards success) through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities by turning probabilities into certainties and then response-to-abilities or responsibilities that lead to actual results.
  • The equity Principle striving for inner peace and balance (that reflects the basic principle of the golden mean) recognizes that each individual or group has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome where always by default cause equates with effect by balancing presented chances to choices through free will. According to the equity principle, the effect justifies the cause for something to occur (Choice as a Cause, to be, and Chance as an effect, to exist). In this way, uncertainties as core competencies through action forces turn to certainties and then to substance, and certainties as responsibilities through reaction forces turn to actualities, leading to experiencing existence or occurrence.
  • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause where both form the actual solutions to a problem, uncertainty, or risk through free will [Choice as a Cause or Meaning (To be) = Chance as an Effect or Purpose (To exist) = Actual Solution (both Chance as Meant to be which defines Fate as meaningful coincidences or simply Meaning and Choice as Meant to exist as Purpose which determines actual experiences as Destiny)]. In this way, actualities (effects) are perceived as having substance (To be), and occurrences (causes) as experiencing existence or living experiences (To exist).
  • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance attained between two extremes (mentioned above as the golden mean) by accepting love and offering help (a transactional activity) – instead of simply giving (exchanging) love for help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation by striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes;  by accepting love and offering help – one of excess and one of deficiency – the first as a moderate feeling of affection as chances of success and the later as intimacy as choices towards experiencing success as physical or emotional closeness, by exercising the sacred right of free will to meet the needs of both parties (more of a transactional activity instead of a simple exchange).

The Mechanism

Front Consciousness Operations:

Critical way of thinking or critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing as a guide to a possible action toward the best solutions to a problem (by understanding the circumstances that a thinker is aware of) through the logical connection between a concept and an idea (that is the identification of the problem and nature of a problem itself).

An analytical way of thinking or analytical thinking is the intellectual ability to extract and process key information from data, verify the causes, and develop workable solutions (provable solutions) for the problem identified.

Back Consciousness Operations:

A synthetic way of thinking or Synthetic thinking is the combination of the parts taken from analytical thinking (provable solutions) into a complex whole as results; and assessment of the effects (actual results).

The difference between the analytical and synthetic ways of thinking is that analytical thinking is the abstract separation of a whole into its constituent parts to study their relations while synthetic thinking takes the parts and combines them into a whole again through subjective-objective and reasonable justification.

The Equivalence Principle equates Inertial mass as a qualitative measure (a condition) to Gravitational mass as a quantitative measure (a property, quality, or characteristic) that is to turn or equate an emotion to a feeling such as fear of love to love.

Inertial mass is the mass of a body as determined by the second law of motion from the acceleration of the body when it is subjected to a force that is not due to gravity.

Gravitational is the mass of a body determined by its response to the force of gravity and is measured by comparing the force of gravity of an unknown mass to the force of gravity of a known mass. Inertial mass is found by applying a known force to an unknown mass, measuring the acceleration, and applying Newton’s Second Law, a = F/m.

  • Weight is different from mass. Weight (W) is the force of gravity exerted on an object.
  • Mass is a measure of the inertia of the object (i.e. how much it resists changes in velocity).
  • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.

Love Velocity as an Action
Love Velocity as an Action

The higher the value of gravitational force the higher the weight and speed/velocity; they are directly proportional to each other. A change in velocity is a change in energy and a weight change.

The Equality Principle requires that equal situations are treated equally and unequal situations differently. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities. Failure to do so will amount to discrimination unless a subjective or objective and reasonable justification exists.

Duality Principle: turns an Undefined problem to solve to Identifiable problem (Reality Reflection)

Equivalence Principle: definition of the nature turns an Identifiable problem to an Identified one and choose provable solution to solve it (Reality Perception)

Equality Principle: Identified problem through provable solution turns to a Defined actual result through reasonable justification (Reality Formation)

Equity Principle: actual solution finally not only treats equally provable solution with actual result but also balances them gaining timing and momentum that give rise to the actual solution of the problem at hand where the effect justifies the cause (Effect relates to Cause); (Reality Expression)

Causality Principle: equates provable solution to Identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences to coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning coincidences to meaningful or experiences (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution); (Reality Creation)

Synchronicity Principle: subjective experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) that turn occurrences as chance events to coincidences and then to meaningful experiences towards inner peace and balance, maintained by offering and accepting love and help (accepting love as life purpose and offering help as meaning or living experience); (Reality Manifestation)

Duality Principle (Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium through critical thinking): [Inertial mass * Love (Acceleration as an Action Force)] = [Gravitational mass * Fear of Love (Intensity of the Gravitational Field as a Reaction Force)]

Equivalence Principle (Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium through analytical thinking): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose)] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of love  Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning)]

Equality Principle (Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium treated equally through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose) = Cause as a Principle (make something happen) = Space] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of Love Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning) = Effect as a Consequence or Result = Time]

Equity Principle (Psychological – Mental Love Equilibrium balanced equally) indicates that Love Velocity as Supply, Purpose or Timing (a point of a period when something may happen as chance, judgement or control) is also balanced against Demand, Meaning or Momentum (a time period when something happens as choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing = Supply = Space = Cause and Momentum = Demand = Time = Effect.

Causality Principle (Physical – Psychological Love Equilibrium); The logical relationship between two events the Cause (Inertial mass) and the Effect (Gravitational mass) through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency); As all falling bodies have the same constant acceleration the two types of mass must be equal to a third force or Resonant frequency as an Actual Solution; (Inertial mass = Resonant frequency and Gravitational mass = Resonant frequency) or (Inertial mass – as Timing, Supply, Space or Cause = Gravitational mass – as Demand, Time or Effect = Resonant frequency)

Synchronicity Principle: subjective meaningful experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) sensed as the Natural frequency of a body determined by its response to the force of Gravity compare to Inertia mass – that forms the Actual solution.

The actual steps:

Front Consciousness Operations:

  • Duality Principle: Combining two competitive or opposing forces or elements; Love as Chance for Taking Charge and Fear of Love as Choice; Inertial mass and Gravitational mass; Velocity and Weight.

Back Consciousness Operations:

  • Equivalence Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Chances (chances of success), by equating elements of Chances (as possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose or virtues). Love velocity as a provable solution to an undefined problem, as an action towards inertial mass, a concept or a feeling turns into a purpose as a virtue and then to a cause (a defined root cause of the problem), and then to space.
  • Equality Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Choices (chances of experiencing success), by equating elements of Choices (as probabilities, certainties, and responsibilities) of being equal in status, rights, and opportunities (as chances of experiencing success, meaning or morals, possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose, or virtues). Finally, the fear of love as a reaction, an idea, a resistance to the applied force of the speed of love, a resistance to the actual solution as an indefinable problem, a gravitational mass, or emotion turns into meaning as a moral, and then to effect (a definite result as the actual impact of the root cause of the problem), and then to time.
  • Equity Principle: According to the Equality Principle Purpose as Virtues and Meaning as Morals are not only treated equally (as equal Action-Reaction forces or inputsbut are also balanced (a state of equilibrium) gaining momentum or timing after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship (single events or a sequence of related circumstances that give rise to the actual solution to the initial problem at hand); According to the equity principle finally Love Velocity (as distance divided by the time taken) equates with Time. Love Velocity as Supply, Timing, or Purpose (a point of a period when something may happen as a chance, judgment, or control) is balanced against Fear of Love as a Demand, Momentum, or Meaning (the time period that something happens as a choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing (Purpose as Virtues or Supply or Cause or Space) is balanced against Momentum (Meaning as Morals or Effects or Demand or Time),(Effect = Cause).
  • Causality Principle: The logical relationship between two events the Cause and the Effect through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency). It equates a provable solution to an identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences into meaningful coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning meaningful coincidences into actual experiences as an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution).

Connecting Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations:

Love (Agape) pushes energy forwards as Chances and triggers in Love (Eros) by giving love or receiving help as emotions, reactions, or resistance due to the Fear of Love.

In Love (Eros), as a Choice, becomes then the Main Cause of the resistance to Love and moves by pulling energy backward altering its status from uncertainty to certainty – by taking a leap of faith – and then turning to an Effect (due to the Causality and Synchronicity Principles).

  • Synchronicity Principle: a phenomenon where the human mind interprets (through front consciousness operations) actions on chances as provable solutions or coincidences that turn to reactions as choices or meaningful coincidences or actual results and finally to actual solutions or actual experiences as an effect. At the end of the process (through back consciousness operations), an initial risk, uncertainty, or problem through the Fear of Love as resistance to Love (weight) turns to Cause, to Meaning, to Space, and then to Timing, and Love Velocity turns to Purpose, to Effect (an event as an actual solution to the initial problem or risk), to Momentum through Space-Time or the Present moment.
  • Finally (by connecting front-to-back consciousness operations) Timing as a coincidence, a meaningful event, life, space, or fate = Momentum as a sequence of meaningful coincidences, events, living experiences, time, or destiny = the Present moment as space-time or an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution or Space = Time = Space-Time). 

© yourspiritualquest.com – Front Consciousness Operations – Everlasting Love – Unfailing Support

Dreaming of love is an empty feeling. In order to be fulfilled one part of the mind (conscious) places a bid (auction) to the other part of the mind (unconscious) asking for its services (truth). The other part of the mind (unconscious) responds with reverse auction by placing a bid (an offer) for the price at which it is willing to provide (give) its services (truth value).

By giving or providing love, one part expects the other to receive (receiving love) as support. Offering love or support (a feeling) for help or assistance (an emotion). An offering is a type of offer or bid. When you offer something, you’re asking someone if they want it. One type of offering is a proposal or bid. By offering love (or something) it can be accepted or rejected (it depends on the value system). The offer stands on its own and does not depend on acceptance to be relevant or generous. An offer is not tied to the giver but stands in front of the receiver unashamed to be accepted (moral truth value) or rejected.

Through Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations ‘giving or proving’ and ‘receiving’ love and help, turn around as energy to become ‘offering’ and ‘accepting’ support and assistance respectively. This is a transactional activity based on mutual agreement between the two parties. That’s what makes the energy as spiritual and emotional love go round and round in circles in perpetuity. Meanwhile, a new dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained where the endless present as a personal reality through personality makes an earthy living experience not only possible or probable but also challenging by turning the unattainable not only attainable but also attained, as a divine offer, truth, or divine gift or help.

© yourspiritualquest.com – Front Consciousness Operations – Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained as inner balance through free will, which means that actions on chances through senses (by giving or providing love) determine reactions as choices through illusions (by receiving help in return for love) to the same degree that fate as causes (by offering back love as help, as a gesture of goodwill, meaning, or meaningful coincidences) determine destiny as effects (by accepting the offered love as help, as an appreciation, purpose, or actual experiences).

Through dynamic blissful love equilibrium, an initial chance on action or intent (as purpose) against a choice as a reaction to an action (as meaning) turns around to become a meaningful experience (a meaning as a cause or fate) in conjunction with a series of meaningful experiences (a purpose as effect or destiny).

In this way, the initial energies (divine masculine and feminine energies) after they split coincide again (as cause and effect, character and behavior, purpose and meaning, fate and destiny) and exchange their energies (help as experience or excellence with love as beauty or use) based on truths and beliefs so both parts are content, satisfied, and fulfilled (blissful) by forming personality creating (reflecting) personal reality (half substance as masculine energy, half existence as feminine energy). The desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half” is finally attained.

The actual variables:

  • Inertial mass (Qualitative measure) = Gravitational mass (Quantitative measure)
  • Inertia = property of matter (attribute, quality, or characteristic)
  • Gravity: The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other physical matter having mass.
  • Mass: The Measure of inertia or gravity is a fundamental property of all matter; it is in effect the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force (the more significant the mass of a body the smaller the change produced by an applied force).
  • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction and it’s defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken; it is represented as m/s or cm/s.
  • Weight is dependent on gravitational force.

The Significance of In-Love in Reality Creation

In love is another element, quality, or step on the ladder of love that is the connecting link that connects all the main parts or states of the mind as it combines different qualities such as:

  • A desire as a feeling (having substance as a strong drive, force, or cause) is another element or step on the ladder of love based on intellectual intelligence (IQ) which is a human mental activity and understanding developed through thinking, experiences, and senses (by the conscious mind).
  • An emotion (experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) is the main element on the ladder of fear of love based on emotional intelligence (EQ) which is the ability to understand, manage, and regulate own emotions, reduce stress, defuse conflict, and reduce emotional reactivity through abstract reasoning (by the conscious-unconscious mind).
  • A distinct state of mind; psychological tendency; intuitive psychological choice; in the cause of freedom based on analytical intelligence (AQ) by comparing and contrasting ideas towards long-term provable solutions to problems by the preconscious mind.
  • An actual result; in effect; is valid from that moment based on synthetic intelligence (SQ) that is future-oriented, holistic, and synthesis of provable solutions (causes) with actual results (effects) by the subconscious mind.
  • A passion that is the essence of the beauty of love through non-conscious intelligence (NQ) with processes in which people are not consciously aware; systems indistinguishable in function; and non-conscious reasoning (by the nonconscious mind).
  • Sensing or seeing (experiencing) the essence of the beauty of love (spiritual love); love–in–love equilibrium by offering and accepting love and help through causal intelligence (CQ) by determining relationships more accurately by understanding how one variable impacts another and how certain outputs (actual results) have changed by identifying current and future trends (as actual solutions); blissful love sensed at the center of the heart.

The Levels of Love Equilibrium

The mystery behind the spiritual world is difficult to comprehend when we use worldly wisdom. However, we can see that the spirit has the plan to save us from any situation that we may find ourselves in through serial love levels in steps, or stages towards spiritual-mental love of the Higher self as a superior spiritual goal where true love (foresight) is perfectly aligned with self-love (insight):

  • Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium level or Self-conceptualization – Self-reflection equilibrium point 1 (based on the Duality Principle)
  • Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium level or Self-satisfaction – Self-fulfillment equilibrium point 2 (based on the Equivalence Principle)
  • Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium level or Self-actualization – Self-imagination equilibrium point 3 (based on the Equality Principle)
  • Spiritual – Psychological Love Equilibrium level (based on the Equity Principle)
  • Spiritual – Physical Love Equilibrium level (based on the Causality, Resonance, and Synchronicity Principles)

The Duality Principle:

Combining Chances and Choices within the whole as Possibilities and Probabilities

The Duality principle: A state of combining two opposing or competing forces within the whole; Unknown as chances for divine intervention to solve a problem as divine or spiritual love (Bid to know spiritual love) – Unknowns as chances of successful divine intervention (as choices) experienced as a fear of love (ask to successfully experience divine help) through the conscious-unconscious mind. It represents things that we are neither aware of nor understand and combines them into a whole as a single unit.

A conscious mind involves all of the things that you are currently both aware or unaware of and thinking about; short-term memory that is limited in terms of capacity; done or acting with critical awareness. It represents the Unknown as possibilities = chances of divine intervention to solve a problem (bid to know divine love or the ability for something to occur through a spontaneous response to the problem at hand – a logical assumption).

The unconscious mind consists of the processes in the mind that occur automatically and are not available for introspection; not awake or aware of and responding to one’s environment; it affects feelings and emotions. It represents the Unknowns as probabilities = chances of successful divine intervention to solve a problem (ask for divine help or to experience a successful divine help or something is both possible and likely to occur – an emotional prediction).

The Equivalence Principle:

Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Uncertainties

The Equivalence principle: A state of equating (dividing) two pairs of interacting, opposite, and equal forces (by a forced mental split) such as chances to uncertainties (50% Unknown as abilities for something to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the preconscious-subconscious mind. Things that we understand but are not aware of that turn into things that we were aware of but do not understand.

The Preconscious mind controls the information that is allowed to enter into conscious awareness; done or acting with analytical awareness. It represents the Unknown as abilities = 50% chances of occurrence of divine intervention, or help to solve a problem.

The Equality principle:

Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Certainties

The Equality principle: Treats equally the information that enters through the preconscious mind with the subconscious thoughts (Known-Knowns as things we’re aware of and understand) through the interference of the conscious-nonconscious mind by subjective-objective problem data analysis and reasonable justification through the synthetic way of thinking.

The subconscious mind responds to information that enters into conscious awareness through the preconscious mind through a subjective problem data analysis and reasonable justification; they are mental activities just below the threshold of consciousness; subconscious thoughts affect psychological responses and behavior.

A state of equating choices to certainties (50% Knowns for something both possible and likely to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind represents the Knowns as response-to-abilities or actualities (meaningful coincidences or experiences as chances of successful divine intervention, or help).

Balancing (by the reaction – forces) the Opposite forces of Uncertainties-Certainties as Values and Morals

The Equity Principle: Recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Equality of opportunity to achieve one’s potential, an equal share of benefits, empowerment to enable access to information, fair representation, and meaningful participation in decision-making through the exercise of Action-Reaction forces through Choice and Free will.

Known as uncertainties turn to certainties and then to values = 50% chances of the purposeful occurrence of divine intervention or help, and Knowns as certainties turn to actualities and then to morals = 50% chances of successful or meaningful divine intervention or help (experiences as meaningful coincidences). Supply as Values (Purpose) = Demand as Morals (Meaning).

The Causality principle:

Achieving a balance of the Opposite forces of Values and Morals as Causes and Effects

The Causality principle:  A genetic connection of phenomena through which one thing (the cause) under certain conditions gives rise to something else (the effect). The principle indicates the existence of a logical relationship between two events (relates a simple coincidence to a meaningful coincidence or experience), the root cause, and the effect (the actual result) where the cause always precedes the effect (the effect justifies the cause) and they both finally form the actual solution due to the resonance principle.

The Synchronicity Principle:

Maintaining the balance achieved through Nonconscious processes (by transactional activities)

The Synchronicity Principle: Subjective experiences (as nonconscious mental processes) that coincidences between events may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection. It supports the mechanism behind the constant adjustment of the alignment of the above levels or stages that is Love – In Love Equilibrium point (as a balancing factor towards the Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium point) by offering and accepting love and help, through transactional activities.

The Nonconscious mind reflects any mental processes that go on that an individual is unaware of; they are not thought about consciously. Nonconscious processes are not unconscious processes.

The difference between the unconscious and nonconscious mind is that the unconscious is a part of the mind that is not accessible to the conscious mind; it lies outside of conscious awareness but affects feelings and emotions. However, individuals are mostly unaware of the plethora of nonconscious thought processes that are going on at any moment.

Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements such as strong feelings of love and intense emotions of fear that are either static (as in a mind acted on by forces whose resultant is zero – by being in a state from selfish to selfless and from fearful to fearless or self-love) or dynamic as action-reaction forces (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal).

Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of intellectual or emotional balance due to the equal action of opposing pairs of forces such as spiritual or intellectual-emotional, and psychological-physicalThe sum of life-preserving instincts that are manifested as impulses to gratify basic needs, sublimated impulses, and impulses to protect and preserve the body and mind — compare death instinct.

To grow spiritually, you must have equilibrium within. Spirit leads to your spiritual body and then to the emotional body through the soul.  Your soul finally leads to your psychological and then to the physical body. In this alignment, you operate in peace through spiritual and emotional love, psychological attraction, physical affection, and mental love as a pure child of bliss.

Similarly, when your soul overrides your spirit, spiritual-emotional equilibrium is disturbed within.  The soul becomes defensive, carnal, and controlling, and our pursuit of bliss is hindered.

The spirit is mind-driven and the soul is emotion-driven and even psychology and flesh-driven. When our soul is mainly carnally led, our spirit, misses its meaning and purpose in life, because our spirit is always pointed toward and exists exclusively for the divine love or love of mankind, whereas our soul can be mostly self-centered. The joy, comfort, and peace of bliss’s presence can only be experienced through our spirit. However, unredeemed, the soul can become a prison that holds back our maturity and spiritual growth.

The good news is, that we can each bring our souls to a place of rest. The spiritual-Emotional Equilibrium of spirit and soul comes when your soul is at rest and your spirit, which communicates with the soul, leads you forward towards the equilibrium point where Love-In-Love curves intersect.

Definition of Love – In-Love Equilibrium

© yourspiritualquest.com – Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart

The whole world is confused for a surprisingly modest-sounding reason: we don’t understand love, yet we are rather convinced that we do.

We write and talk a lot about love of course, but generally, we do not understand the deeper meanings of its existence in our life.

The whole universe is made up of energy and at that level, everything is vibrating or oscillating at a specific frequency the Resonant Frequency. What does the universe vibrate at? Listening to a sound at 432 Hz is especially pleasing to the ear, and is said to reduce stress and promote emotional stability by putting you in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”.

The whole Creation constitutes the center of devoted love, where men and women are created physically, spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally to live together in blissful love.

The love between a husband and a wife must be, among other things, a love affair. However, a marriage based solely on erotic love will fail. The emotion of sexual love diminishes and diminishes. Healthy marriages will have a mix of Agape, Storge, Eros, Philia (Touch), Platonic love (Pure Love), and Anidiotelis Agape (True Love).

A Gradual Shift from Desire and Empathy to Compassion and Care

  • The Law of Reverse Effect states: “The greater the conscious effort, the less the subconscious response” that is the harder one consciously tries to do something, the more difficult it is to succeed; or “Whenever the will (conscious mind) and imagination (unconscious mind) conflict, the imagination (unconscious mind) always wins.

The law of reverse effect creates resistance to get us moving. So how could we overcome these things? First, it might be your desire. Desire is strong energy and can cut through resistance like a sharp knife.

What is the true meaning of desire? Desire means to have a longing for. Some common synonyms of desire are coveted, crave, want, and wish. It stresses the strength of feeling and often implies a strong intention or aim. An expressed wish; Something desired; A desire to start a new life.

Empathy is our feeling of awareness toward other people’s emotions and an attempt to understand how they feel.

Studies suggest that empathy while well-intentioned isn’t neutral. It’s even suggested that it can sometimes hurt more than help our relationships and our ability to lead effectively.

Empathy can make us unconsciously more sympathetic towards individuals we relate to more. This makes us less likely to connect with people whose experiences don’t mirror ours.

The answer to the inadequacy of desire and empathy is motivation. Motivation is everything in life!

As we see it, at the dawn of a new era, there are two main emerging spiritual-emotional forces or factors behind any individual’s endeavor in society as a whole to create and sustain motivation: Compassion and Care.

Compassion is an emotional response to empathy or sympathy and creates a desire to help.

“Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”

Plato

  • Compassion (a motivating factor or positive affective stimulus based on psychological love) is an innate core ability for achieving someone’s goals by loving, helping, or supporting others that encourages someone to act towards the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and
  • Fear of abandonment or rejection (a negative affective stimulus based on the impact of the fear of love) is a response to the above ability by the fear of acting in an uncompassionate way by making sacrifices in return for the benefit offered that triggers emotional reactions of discouraging an individual from acting”.

What Are the Types or Stages of Love?

 

© yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Stages of Love and Fear

6 Types or Stages of Love – Ladder of Love

The word “love” is a flexible term in the English language. It has several different meanings. Six unique words in ancient Greek describe the range of meanings the English word love conveys.

The following ladder of love consists of Six Types or Stages of Spiritual-Emotional-Psychological-Physical and Spiritual-Mental Love that are defined as:

I. Agape: love of mankind, divine, spiritual love.
II. Storge: love of parents for children.
III. Eros: erotic, passionate love.
IV. Philia: love of friends and equals.
V. Platonic Eros or Agape: in touch, mental love; establish a rapport or relationship.
VI. Anidiotelis Agape: True Love: perfect romantic love between people with an aligned belief system and common interests based on the equilibrium of strong spiritual desires and deep emotional needs.
© yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Love

In Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, the playwright Aristophanes suggests that the origin of love lies in the desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half”.

Surprisingly he was right. Love in the ladder moves upward. In addition, even though all stages exist to some degree, Eros is the nowadays dominant type or stage behind any human endeavor (it is important to state here that the ladder of love and fear in this article is differentiated from the original and reflects the personal views of the writer).

Being in love (Eros) with someone is psychologically charged in a way that relates to the human mind and feelings. Specifically, when you’re in love with someone, you feel a strong, almost inexplicable desire for that person. To love someone is to have a strong feeling of closeness and care for someone.

Eros is about asking for love (demanding love) and involves a loss of control with intense anticipation and nervousness while loving someone is about offering love (supplying love) where you feel happy, secure, and at ease with your partner.

Over or excess demands for love create fear, worry, and anxiety with reverse effects on humanity’s mental and physical health in general. As a result, balance is lost and society struggles to find purpose and meaning in life.

However, a new strong potential emerges gradually over time. A potential shift from stage three to stage two. From Eros to Storge which takes a new meaning as part of another way or an upgraded path to the essence of love; blissful love.

But it does not happen easily and with no cost. The higher the steps, the more intellectual it is. To be able to climb the ladder, one must understand the previous steps thoroughly. It is designed to happen through stages, struggles, and lessons. Rewards are bigger though.

Anidiotelis Agape, Unconditional Love, Undistracted Love, and Philautia (Self-love) lay at the roots of the ladder of love. Every other form or stage of love is built upon these core foundational archetypes of love.

Agape as spiritual love lays at the top of the ladder as the beacon of the spiritual road to blissful love as the ultimate prize; the ultimate step for someone to conquer the knowledge of both the spiritual and emotional aspects of love; real and true love in unity; the uniqueness of love. The fulfillment of the desire to complete ourselves by finally finding the long-lost “other half” that is sensed and experienced as Selfless Love.

History and Origin

  • Agape: (Divine or Spiritual love borrowed from Greek agape – agan=much and pa=protection); is defined as self-sacrificing human or personal love often conditional, or limited in nature. It is the love that focuses on the will, not the emotions, experiences, or libido based on aspects and conditions of possessive, demand, or expectation; divine or infinite spiritual love.
  • Storge: (Emotional love) Storge refers to natural, family love. Storge refers to the kind of love a parent shows for a child.
  • Eros: (Psychological love) Eros is the word often used to express the sexual love or arousal feelings shared by people who are physically attracted to each other; Definition of Eros: In Greek mythologyErosAncient Greek: Ἔρως, ‘Desire’ is the Greek god of love, sexual desire, and physical love. The Romans called him Cupid, and he was thought to be the son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.
  • Philia: (Physical love) Philia refers to brotherly love and is most often exhibited in a close friendship.
  • Platonic Eros or Mental Love: (Pure love) In TouchEstablish communication with someone. Involves deep affection, but no romantic or sexual attraction.
  • Anidiotelis Agape or True Love:  True love means that you have an unwavering, unbreakable, and unparalleled fondness and devotion for another;
  • Selfless love: is also defined by an immeasurably deep spiritual-emotional unity of spirit and soul into the wholeness of the Higher self through self-love in a happy, passionate, and fulfilling relationship.

I. Agape – Spiritual Love

Definition of Love, Selfish, Selfless, True Love

Agape constitutes the ultimate spiritual goal and the end of human existence as a biological entity by finally finding the long-lost “other half” and turning into wholeness!

According to Aristophanes in Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, at the beginning of time, all people were hermaphrodites with double backs and sides, four arms and four legs, and two faces turned in opposite directions on the same head. Zeus had to cut them in two, male and female – and from that day on, each of us longed to be reunited in the place from which he was cut off.

What does selfishness in love mean? Selfish Love is focused on getting what one can gain from their partner and the relationship. True Love is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment. True love is gifted with foresight and knows that love evokes love.

Contrary to what we like to say and believe, the feeling of love doesn’t occur in our hearts, at least scientifically. Instead, it happens in our brain when we release hormones (oxytocin, dopamine, adrenaline, testosterone, estrogen, and vasopressin) that create a mix of feelings: euphoria, pleasure, or bonding. However fearless, or selfless love fills and occupies the heart.

We want others to live up to our expectations right now. Excessive wants can limit our happiness. But true love means giving people time to mature and grow, to go wrong, to wander in another direction, and to give them every opportunity to grow, at their own pace.

A genuinely healthy relationship based on pure emotions and feelings is a relationship that is not dominated by the ego by creating an image and searching for itself. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention to the person to whom there is absolutely no compulsion.

II. Storge – Emotional Love

Definition of Fear, Fearful and Fearless or Self-Love

Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others; the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of yourself (insight).

Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. A state marked by this emotion. Anxious concern: solicitude. A reason for alarmdanger.

Whenever we enter into a love relationship with someone love is based upon our emotions of fears. Love is also defined by fear. It’s the underlying groundwork of any relationship even if it seems shocking and difficult to admit.

Another part of the fear of love is the risk of not responding to that feeling. People fall in love together, gradually, after spending time together. But it does not always work that way. One falls in love with the other, but the other does not reciprocate the feelings. Thus, a person can resist the development of these feelings. Unreciprocated love is tragic and the possibility of a one-way love affair can cause fear and prevent a person from letting those feelings grow at all.

Of course, the scariest thing about love can be its loss. Although this is the most obvious, and perhaps the most common, fear of love, it is also the most self-destructive, because the person ends up avoiding love for fear of losing it.

Remember that fear, when used properly, is a valuable emotion that can alleviate our urges to rush into a new situation if we want it to work for us and not against us. Drawing on Aristotle and the Stoic philosophers, we must recognize that excessive fear will prevent you from trying anything new while very little fear will make you fall in love very easily, a lot, and quickly, resulting in probably more pain in the long run. Ideally, fear should be used in conjunction with logic to decide if that danger is worth it.

Even prudence can go a long way because we do not want to be fooled, but neither should we be careful to the extent that we avoid life. And if, as many believe, love is an essential or an integral part of the meaning of life, and something that makes life and not mere existence, then the wisest thing to do is to overcome your fears, reject your reservations, and pay attention only to love.

We should be almost done with romantic love now. We need to look at the challenge of this kind of love. However, it is not surprising that we are still just at the beginning, just starting on the road to being human.

What’s Philophobia?

Philophobia is a fear of falling in love. It can also be a fear of entering into a relationship or a fear that you will not be able to maintain a relationship. Many people experience a slight fear of falling in love at some point in their lives. But in extreme cases, philophobia can make people feel isolated and unloved.

Philophobia is not a condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor because it is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, it can affect someone’s mental health negatively.

Potential Causes of Philophobia

The fear of falling in love has many potential causes, including:

Fear of losing identity

Fear of losing identity due to past experiences. Traumatic relationships of the past can contribute to the development of the fear of falling in love. Infidelity, betrayal, or frustration can make you stay away from romantic relationships. Other types of relationships can also cause fear, such as parental relationships and close friendships.

Fear of losing purpose and meaning

Fear of losing purpose and meaning due to cultural experiences. In some cultures, there is more pressure to marry at a young age under certain conditions. If one does not want to have this traditional experience, it can lead to philophobia.

Fear of abandonment or rejection

Fear of abandonment or rejection. Putting yourself out there can be scary. Studies show that rejection can have similar effects on the body as physical pain. Most people can overcome rejection, but if you have experienced enough painful rejections, the fear of another may stay with you.

III. Eros – Psychological or Unconditional Love

Eros – Love Significance

Unconditional love is to love others and ourselves much more authentically and generouslyis an active choice to continue loving with no expectations or rewards. It serves a higher purpose (purposeful). Loving someone unconditionally may produce positive feelings. However, humanity has long been fascinated by the conflict between our noblest ideals and the most urgent and exciting demands of our sexual nature.

Sexual excitement is psychological. It’s not so much what our bodies happen to be doing that turns us on. It’s what’s happening in our brains. Acceptance is at the center of collective experiences and feels physical – the blood pumps faster, the metabolism shifts gear and the skin gets hot – but behind all this lies a sense of an end to our isolation.

We can only start to understand the role of sexuality in love if we can accept that it is not necessarily a uniquely pleasant experience in and of itself. Nevertheless, sex with our lover can be one of the nicest things we ever do.

The reason is that sex delivers a major psychological thrill. The pleasure we experience has its origin in an idea: that of being allowed to do a very private thing to and with another person. The mutual permission involved in sex is dramatic and large. We’re implicitly saying to another person that we have granted them an extraordinary privilege.

Authenticity

The person who loves us sexually does something properly redemptive. They stop making a distinction between the different sides of who we are. They can see that we are the same person all the time. That our gentleness or dignity in some situations isn’t fake. Through sexual love, we have the chance to solve one of the deepest, problems of human nature which is how to be accepted for who we are.

In general, at least Western culture requires us to present rigorously crafted versions of ourselves to others. It asks us to be cleaner, purer, and more polite versions of what we might otherwise be. Demand has quite high internal costs. Important aspects of our character are pushed into the shadows.

Compassion

At times it may feel frustrating, but it’s pretty empowering to accept the fact that the only person we have any true control over in a relationship is ourselves. Therefore, we can choose whether to engage in behaviors that are destructive to intimacy or authenticity to take actions that express feelings of love, compassion, affection, respect, and kindness.

To forgive is to know that we are, in our way, as guilty as others. But that is no reason forever to withhold love. We learn to forgive when we’re brave enough to explore the darker sides of our hearts.

Self-esteem

Some people believe that they do not deserve to be desired by someone else. And even though they are attracted to someone and the feeling is mutual, they cannot let themselves express themselves. The reasons why people have such sad thoughts can be many. It is not uncommon to have a false self-image or low self-esteem. Sometimes they also had negative experiences with an ex-partner who held them down and made them feel unloved or rejected.

Empathy

Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness. Love it’s about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction. To love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations. One day, we will all require the charity of others. In one way or another, we will need people to look past our evident failings.

IV. Philia – Physical or Undistracted Love (not carnal)

Undistracted love means learning to capture the deeper spiritual meaning as a responsible answer (meaningful) by receiving unconditional love as your higher purpose in life. Receiving unconditional love can also make a difference in emotional well-being.

Honesty

We love people who promise that they will in some way help to make us whole. At the center of our feelings, there is gratitude for having found someone who seems to complement our qualities and dispositions. It is really important to make us feel appreciated and accepted as we are and not to pretend to be what others want us to be.

To love means being loyal to people with steadfastness and an unbudgeable resilient faith. Friendliness is a quality of openness and warmth that makes you feel welcome and at ease.

Care

One way to get a sense of why love should matter so much is to look at the challenges of loneliness. The pains of loneliness are an embarrassing and universal possibility. We shouldn’t feel lonely. Unwittingly, loneliness gives us the most eloquent insights into why love should matter so much.

In addition, when we are alone, people may well strive to show us care or kindness. There may be invitations and touching gestures, but it will be hard to escape from a background sense of the conditionality of the interest and care on offer.

Respect

One of the more surprising and at one level perplexing aspects of love is that we don’t merely wish to admire and respect other people. We are also powerfully drawn to want to attract them (friendly and not sexually). The birth of physical love is normally signaled by what is in reality a hugely weird act; two different people feel mutually attracted just to be friends and nothing more. Communication, mutual respect, and understanding become essential to creating and maintaining this kind of platonic relationship.

Fairness

Often, even in a platonic type relationship, we love at least in part in the hope of being helped and redeemed by others becoming through their help better versions of ourselves. Love contains just below the surface a hope for personal redemption: a solution to certain blocks and confusion. We shouldn’t expect to get there all by ourselves. Love promises to educate us in a very different way. Through other people, our development can start in a far more welcoming and energizing way with deep excitement and desire.

V. In Touch – Platonic or Pure Love (no Romantic or Sexual Attraction)

Platonic love is a type of love that is not sexual or romantic. The idea of platonic love has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy. The word “platonic” comes from the famous philosopher, writer, and speaker Plato, who outlined specific categories of love in his famous work “Symposium.” Though the philosopher never used the term himself.

Platonic love happens when two people have a special bond where they deeply care for and respect each other, and share similar interests and values, but they don’t pursue things romantically.

There will be a deep, often unconditional, pure love. Platonic love is what we feel when there is trust, safety, and validation in a close relationship. It’s the sense of feeling good and cared for in a relationship.

Plato believed that love is the motivation that leads one to try to know and contemplate beauty in itself through a gradual process that begins with an appreciation of the appearance of physical beauty and then moves on to an appreciation of spiritual beauty.

Platonic Love; Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium

For Plato, love is not in itself an end, but only a means to achieve the supreme concept of beauty. The first step is physical; the senses unleash eros (the love that enters through the senses and compels one to approach someone). In this stage, love is still physical.

Plato does not reject the physical dimension of love, to reach the supreme concept of beauty which is actually to reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else just because it apprehends the form of beauty, in a kind of vision that raises happiness.

The deeper meaning of platonic love: “is the spiritual love that enters through the eyes and compels one to approach someone (or something) as a ladder in which love climbs up a series of steps to reach the peak of a supreme idea (spiritual-mental equilibrium) that is a passionate, pure, and disinterested knowledge of the essence of the beauty of love”.

Characteristics of platonic relationships include:

  • Respect
  • Love
  • Admiration 
  • Loyalty
  • Honesty
  • Bonding over shared interests and beliefs

VI. Anidiotelis Agape – True love

Anidiotelis Agape (true love) is at the root of the ladder and constitutes the essence of love.  Love for love itself; An individual sees the beauty in its form and loves the beauty of love as it is. Every particular beautiful thing is beautiful because of its connection to this form.

Agape is the supreme concept of beauty

Agape (spiritual love) is at the top of the love ladder mentioned above as the supreme concept of beauty that also describes the concept of the essence of the state of Bliss Equilibrium in the best possible way.

This is a delicate state of spirit and soul unifying through the heart, throughout the various stages of love, towards the ultimate goal of Bliss Equilibrium; a constant search for the knowledge on how to learn to gradually appreciate the essence and the glory of the nature of higher-self through self-love (philautia – a Greek word that means: to make friends with yourself – raising self-esteem) and its ultimate unity with spirit and the whole creation through true love (into wholeness).

Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

© yourspiritualquest.com – Inner Peace – Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is where the spirit through the heart identifies and appreciates its spiritual-emotional-psychological and physical unity with the soul into wholeness through Self-awareness (the ultimate common space of Self-reflection, Self-inspection, Self-introspection, and Self-recognition).

  • Self-awareness: is the experience of one’s personality or individuality; is how an individual consciously knows and understands their character, behavior, feelings, motives, desires, and needs. 
  • Self-reflection: refers to giving thought to one’s character and behavior; a reflective looking inward: is an examination of one’s thoughts and feelings.
  • Self-inspection: is the process that relies on the observation of one’s mental state; is the experience of one’s personality or character and motives.
  • Self-introspection: the ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.
  • Self-recognition: knowledge and understanding of one’s nature or character; insight into one’s personality.

Mind – Soul – Spirit – Body connection through the heart; the heart is the intersection point of spiritual-emotional, psychological-physical, and spiritual-mental axes.

The steps toward dynamic blissful love equilibrium

  • Spiritual love is offering love to self and others that derive from the spirit and emotional love is accepting love from self and others that comes from the soul; they both meet at the spiritual-emotional love equilibrium point (1).
  • Unconditional and Undistracted love both come from the mind and body; They reflect life’s purpose and meaning aiming at well-being and mental health through the right mentality and the appropriate behavior of an individual: they both meet at the psychological-physical love equilibrium point (2).
  • Dynamic blissful love equilibrium comes through the meeting of the equilibrium points (1) and (2) at the spiritual-mental love equilibrium point (3).

The adjustment of their alignment is manifested through the love-in-love equilibrium point by giving and receiving love and help and is felt right there in the center of the heart where the three love equilibrium points coincide into wholeness as great happiness, joy, contentment, fulfillment, and bliss.

A great shift in consciousness – Happiness vs. Fulfillment

Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim, and end of human existence.”

What is the real meaning of happiness? Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, and satisfaction. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Real happiness comes from within; inner peace greatly comes from having love and compassion in life.

To distinguish between these two meanings, we use “utility” as usefulness in love to refer to the greatest good for an individual (from his/her point of view) that receives from consuming “a good” and “happiness” to refer to the opposite positive feeling of enjoying a good or meaning.

“Benefit” is helpfulness in love Besides the physical health benefits, being in love works wonders for mental health as well. Love, marriage, and overall well-being reduce stress, which also strengthens the immune system. It provides purpose, contentment, and fulfillment in life.

However, the spiritual love-in-love equilibrium points toward blissful love equilibrium by giving and receiving love constitutes a great shift in human consciousness into a new paradigm:

From usefulness to helpfulness and then to powerfulness. From purpose and meaning of life to possession of controlling influence among all the loving souls of the society as a whole. A lift (an upliftment) from self-esteem (u’) to compassion (u”) as core abilities as a reaction (actualities perceived as effects) deriving from an opposite shift as an action (certainties considered as causes) from respect (w) to care (w’) as a response to those abilities (Response-to-Abilities). The end result is a gradual upliftment from love equilibrium (e’) to dynamic blissful love equilibrium (e”).

How is Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium Sustained?

Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium

Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium comes with a deep understanding of the gain and loss that exists from a spiritual point of view. The rules that apply to spiritual gain and loss are hardly the same as those viewed from a carnal perspective. Sustaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium requires us to understand how the principles of this nature apply to our everyday lives.

Spiritual-emotional love equilibrium allows us to understand spiritual wisdom and love toward us. If reasoned carnally it doesn’t make any logical sense. It is also a means by which we know there is a reward reserved for us despite the long-suffering we may face in life. The following instances described below help us understand in more depth how spiritual-emotional love equilibrium is sustained:

Maintaining spiritual cleanliness

Spiritual cleanliness looks at what is in our hearts and spirits. If we possess a clean heart and a spirit then we are rewarded. Equilibrium is maintained in spiritual cleanliness by the mere fact that we cannot die from the physical. Equilibrium is also maintained here by the fact that our true death is not by the loss of life but by the loss of our soul. Death is not the fear of spiritual cleanliness but a chance for a change in a higher realm of existence.

Seeking righteousness

This means acting in accord with the personal belief systems, values, or morals free from guilt. Seeking “Righteousness” implies trying to reach a state of moral integrity and honesty; it is not self-righteousness, judging oneself by one’s standards.

Looking beneath the surface

To love with imagination is to look beneath the surface and picture the suffering and pain that got you to this place. To love with imagination is to put yourself in the place of others and understand why they are behaving as they do. Imaginative love knows that we are all, somewhere, desperate therefore it seeks out the source of that desperation and treats it with sorrowful gentleness.

Operating with a degree of politeness

We must operate with a degree of politeness too. A radical change of our true selves is the price we must pay for conviviality. We have to accept too that much of who we are won’t readily be understood. Some of our deepest concerns will be met with blank incomprehension, boredom, or fear. Most people won’t care at all and our deeper thoughts will get no interest.

Spotting personal inadequacies

We do not all fall in love with the same people because we are not all missing the same things. The aspects we find desirable in our partners speak of what we admire but do not have secure possession of in ourselves. We may be powerfully drawn to the competent person because we know how our own lives are held up by a lack of confidence and because it suggests the balancing quality to our own excessively compliant view of the world. Our inadequacies explain the direction of our tastes and choices.

Working within yourself

The good news is that yes, you can beat fear. But you have to be willing to work with yourself and remove the blocks in your mind. Most fears are related to negative experiences from your past. If you have frustrations If you have experienced injuries or shocking experiences in previous relationships, you need to deal with them in the first step to experience new love in the second step. To do this, it may sometimes be helpful to have a life coach or psychologist involved.

Learning to love yourself

Realize that you are unique and wonderful – just as you are here, right now. You are perfect this second and no matter what you do, think, or feel, you will always be precious and lovable. In addition, you should avoid dealing with people who tell you otherwise. Anyone who says that you are not worthy of receiving love should no longer be in the close circle of your friends or acquaintances. Because you deserve it!

Living from your heart

Do you live each day as you wish from your heart? Or do invisible forces seem to be preventing you from achieving your goals? And do you often encounter difficulties with your fellow human beings who always show the same patterns?

Learning to love unconditionally

There’s a reason people have been studying human emotion for centuries. However, it can seem like a pretty complicated topic. But if we boil it down to the basics—to love and fear of love—then we realize what living in a state of love can do for our lives, and we can start to unravel the mysteries of human thought and emotion, to create a better life for ourselves.

But, how can we develop the optimism and positivity that love requires?

  • Start with the end in mind. What does a loving version of you look like? Try to ask yourself: What would you do if you were not afraid? Revealing the answer to this question can help you discover strong motivation.
  • Be aware of your fear. What scary thoughts are you having right now? How often do you have them? Are they triggered by something specific? Understanding your fears will only help you as you work to dispel them.
  • Plan your thoughts. Your thoughts have power. Fear of love comes from your thoughts. If you can help yourself, think of thoughts that bring you to a state of love, you will find yourself in that place.
  • Use positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are an excellent tool for anyone trying to think more positively about themselves or the world around them. If you want to know more about writing effective positive affirmations for yourself, read this.

In Conclusion

Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about and especially spiritual love because it hasn’t been fully experienced yet; Spiritual love is a divine inheritance, a spiritual gift as a benefita good – the greatest good, through the ladder of love

Loving someone or something (as opposing to the ladder of love that is the ladder of the fear of love is its utility – enjoying the greatest good) is given to humanity for a very special reason; to develop discernment and stamina; to allow humans to get to know reality in all its aspects, such as love, fear, life, living experiences, success, happiness, satisfaction, and contentment, by exercising the sacred right of free will.

Chance and choice interact with each other through a free will as they both form the ability to act at one’s discretion; through free will, chances turn to certainties as simple coincidences and choices turn to meaningful coincidences and then to actualities or experiences due to mental phenomenon based on the equity and synchronicity principles; the more strongly people believe in this phenomenon the higher they rate their ability to make decisions freely; the more satisfied they become with their decisions.

In this case, more and more chances of making the right choices turn to coincidences and then to meaningful coincidences and then to experiences and they work more like inhered human rightor privileges rather than a leap of faith for someone to feel a complete sense of freedom by constantly striving for inner peace or balance through free will.

After the collective upliftment of human consciousness, chance, choice, and free will become more of an inborn right itself; the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the right timing to get to know spiritual love and enjoy its greatest good; by becoming spiritually awake; taking charge of destiny; finding the long-lost “other half”, and finally becoming complete at the final step on the top of the ladder of love as the ultimate destination and end cause.

Finally, life as reality is a state of consciousness (intellectual and behavioral characteristics, problem analysis, data analysis, and Judgment) having substance and experiencing existence.

Consciousness is a cognitive or behavioral system that is mainly based on the:

  • duality principle through critical thinking (combining cognitive, and emotional intelligence into a whole – of the opposing forces as chance, and choice),
  • equivalence principle (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of ability as an equalizing factor) through analytical thinking (analytical intelligence, objective thinking filtering and assessing relevant information and interpreting chances as being equal in value, worth, or function),
  • equality principle through synthetic thinking (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of response-to-ability or responsibility as an equalizing factor) through synthetic intelligence, subjective-objective, and reasonable justification of equating choices as being equal in status, rights, or opportunities),
  • The equity principle reflects the basic principle of the golden mean striving for inner peace as the balance between two extremes through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the resonance principle of balancing chances as coincidences having substance and choices as meaningful coincidences (causes or events) and then experiences (effects or a sequence of events) through action-reaction forces and free will (nonconscious intelligence)
  • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause due to the resonance principle by relating the causally unrelated events (yet have some other unknown connection); through this principle, causes as coincidences turn to events or fate, and experiences as effects turn into a sequel of events or destiny (causal intelligence, Cause = Effect = Actual Solution)
  • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for achieving and maintaining inner peace attained by the causality principle – as the balance between two extremes – by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

Duality means the quality or state of having two different forces (divine masculine and divine feminine energies) or elements of love (through the ladder of love) and loving someone or something (through the ladder of fear of love) to create a spiritual-emotional closeness. That is to motivate people to work to stay consciously in a place of love rather than in a place of fear.

However, fear itself is not a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much someone cares. Scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

Duality is woven into the very fabric of life for a reason: to teach people that every aspect of life is created through a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces or elements of love and fear (of love) and how to elevate the ladder of love as chances of success in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love as chances of experiencing success through choices and the exertion of action-reaction forces and free will.

The duality principle is a state of the combination of two opposing or competing concepts or groups such as feelings and emotions, spirit and soul, spirituality and carnality, self and others, and chances and choices through the critical way of thinking.

According to the duality principle love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos as an inborn right or chance) is an active force (divine masculine energy) a positive affective stimulus that triggers joy and pleasure as a chance or a cause for change

Fear of love (asking for experiencing spiritual love to the maximum degree as a choice through free will) is a reactive force to joy and pleasure (divine feminine energy) a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure to resist or sustain change.

The Equivalence Principle equates an emotion to a feeling as opposite or antagonistic forces through the analytical way of thinking by equating a subjective qualitative measure of love (as a condition) to possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies; treats equally love as a virtue, and through purpose (as intention or an actualization force), turns it into a cause (a provable solution).

The Equality Principle treats fear of love as a moral, which through meaning (as something meant as a reaction to an action, or intended), and turns it into an effect (an actual result deriving from a response-to-ability as an equalizing factor) by subjectiveobjective problem and data analysis, and reasonable justification. In this way, a new common equilibrium point is attained.

According to the Equity Principle feelings and emotions are balanced gaining both timing and momentum after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship where they finally form the actual solution as a single event deriving from a single meeting point of:

  • the ability to exercise choice through action-reaction forces and free will as a human’s birthright or privilege.
  • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love and help) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love or help) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
  • to be free to accept love and offer help from/to others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
  • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
  • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love and help to others (supply or offer love and help as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
  • to be response-able for returning the love and help as a reward for the love and help you receive from others (demand love or help in return for the love or help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
  • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
  • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

Inner peace means finding your peace of mind by attaining happiness, contentment, and bliss no matter how difficult things get in your life; it reflects the equilibrium point of self-visualization – self conceptualization (action-reaction)self-inspection – self-introspection (ability-responsibility) and self-actualization – self-imagination (cause-effect) by following the basic principle of the golden mean.

According to the equity principle, attaining or achieving inner peace or balance is only possible through the spirit-soul-mind-body connection through the intersection equilibrium point of the spiritual-emotional-mental-physical axes at the center of the heart by balancing chance and choice through action-reaction forces and free will (where – to be – as a cause, timing or space coincides with – to exist – as an effect, momentum or time, with – meant to be – forming an actual solution as space-time or the present moment).

According to the causality principle, all real events necessarily have a cause; by perceiving the actual solution either as a single event (conceived by consciousness as life, meaning, event, or fate) or as an ongoing process, a sequence of circumstances or events (conceived by consciousness as a living experience, a coherent reality, purpose or destiny) where always by default cause equates with effect.

The innate desire to complete ourselves is fulfilled by loving and helping others until finding the long-lost “other half” (as Plato suggests) as a mechanism on the road to blissful love that reflects the supreme concept of beauty as the ultimate prize, that is the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) through constant empowerment and upliftment of human consciousness maintained by the synchronicity principle.

The constant adjustment of their alignment through the above mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance between two extremes is attained by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium) through the love-in-love equilibrium point of the love-in-love curves as balancing factors.

Real-Life Examples & Remarks


Ps. In order to better comprehend the important concepts of this significant topic here is an example:
THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE IN PRACTICE
Just imagine a sailing boat where love is the wind that blows. Loving someone or something through the fear of love is its sails. The equilibrium point is the imaginary alignment of the angle of the craft, the sails, and the rudder as the touching point with the surface of the water so as to push the sailing boat forward.
Resilience is the character, quality, and endurance of the craft against unexpected weather conditions and the fury of the waves of the sea.
Behavior is the compass that always points toward the dynamic blissful equilibrium of love as the port of the ultimate destination.
The skills of the captain in order to keep the craft on the right track are also equally important to the choice of the appropriate path, the experience of the adventure of the trip, and the final destination.
It is easier though for the captain to try paths with calm waters and not to go against the wind.
However, without wind and sails, the craft doesn't move at all. This is the central idea and the significant point that we have to keep in mind:
No love means no wind and no change; no fear means no sailing no 
choice and no movement; that further means no port and no tranquility; no purpose and no meaning of life; a missed opportunity to find the port of the blissful equilibrium of love in this lifetime.
But there is no reason to worry. A missed opportunity is not a lost cause but a chance for spiritual upliftment on the ladder of love until the next momentum for movement arrives.
According to Plato the ultimate destination of humanity is the knowledge of the essence of beauty and not the love itself. That is to apprehend the form of beauty in a kind of vision.
Visualization is a picture of the mind. Conceptualization is the formation of an idea. Imagination is a mental faculty and is beyond conceivable. In this sense, the essence of the beauty of love is to acknowledge that conceptualization, visualization, and imagination all come together in order to become a whole; What we do not conceive with our senses is also another form of reality as long as we can imagine it as an idea in a form that we choose from. 
This is an elevated state of consciousness where we become able to overcome our doubts, worries, and fears and consciously sense the true, the real, and the authentic all at once; that is to finally apprehend the essence of the beauty of love in its all forms at once that's actually the beauty of the knowledge of the essence of love in all its forms. 
The beauty of the knowledge and acceptance of the essence of self and others with no distinction and judgment; by expressing freely our uniqueness, and the authenticity of ourselves, and by accepting with gratitude coincidences (the occurrence of events that seem to have no cause) as synchronicities (the coincidental occurrence of meaningful coincidences or events) in our life by understanding that everything happens for a reason; as omens of always being on the right path by being in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”. 
That is actually the whisper of spiritual love calling us to the top of the ladder of love; this is exactly where our earthly reality vibrates; at that level, we just have to learn how to be spiritually selfish that is to focus on ourselves during our spiritual awakening so that we can raise our vibration and finally become a conscious co-creator of our own earthly reality!
-------------------------------
Fate or Destiny?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FATE AND DESTINY
The term fate “moira” in Greek means "what has been said". Thus, fate is based on people's belief system that there is an order-uniformity in the universe that cannot be changed, no matter how hard we may try and struggle. 
Our ancient ancestors believed that the three deities (moirae) - Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos - or the three Fates, were the ones who decided the final course of human beings, not taking into account their will or their belief in something better than they themselves could bring about.
On a spiritual level, fate (moira) is the inevitable that always materializes (pre-determined to materialize, to be or to have substance) and will continue to materialize when we ignore our own life and do nothing to reconnect with our soul or true nature. 
When we abandon the course of our lives to fate, we are basically surrendering control of it to others, as well as to external situations. When we make no effort - nothing, that is, to consciously change and evolve, what happens is fatal (moireo). That is the "play" of fate.
Destiny “pepromeno” in Greek, on the other hand, denotes more positive associations than fate. In Latin, the word referring to destiny "destinare" means "that which is fixed". Although this definition also refers to the idea of pre-determined events, destiny is something we can shape and change if we will and commit ourselves (pre-destined to experience existence or to exist). 
On the opposite side of fate, there is that element of choice in destiny. Qualities such as courage, compassion, willpower, and patience can greatly assist in changing destiny.
Fate vs Destiny
Fate is what we are unable to change. Destiny, on the other hand, is that which we plan and intend to do so that we do not surrender to the randomness of fate. While fate, on the one hand, is precisely what happens when we do not take responsibility for life, destiny, on the other hand, is nothing more than what happens when there is the necessary commitment to further growth - that is, to have the will to take risks (through choice and free will). 
The well-known popular saying "...it is in your destiny to succeed" is only achieved through active and conscious commitments and decisions, with patience, perseverance, continuity, and consistency. As it is now understood, fate is what materializes when the course of life is left to others, who, along with the external circumstances they are subjected to, direct and determine the course and outcome of life.
It is extremely important to never doubt or forget that there are infinite possibilities in life. Fulfilling destiny means consciously redirecting the flow of our lives always in the specific direction we desire. 
While subjectively this means having and maintaining control and choice, such a thing does not objectively exist-such a thing as control or choice because the concept of "I" and "others" do not exist except in the mind.
So in this way, the answer to "we have control over our lives" is paradoxical, because we both have and do not have control over the course of our lives. It's a bit more complicated than that. 
How is Destiny Fulfilled?
I think it is time to look at how destiny is fulfilled. As long as it is consciously sought to be deciphered, developed, and evolved into a spiritual one, that is to consciously realize that destiny is somehow self-fulfilled (meant to experience existence or simply meant to exist).
While we are still operating at the level of ourselves, that is, our personality, our character, and our behavior, it is extremely important that we work so that we can take charge of our destiny. 
On spiritual paths, destiny is closely tied to the overall course of life, all the way to the end. When taking responsibility for life is chosen, destiny is also actively shaped, rather than simply leaving life to its fate. 
Fulfilling destiny involves the conscious development of a relationship with the deeper inner self and maturation on a spiritual-intellectual, emotional, mental, and physical level.
However, if there is a will (determination) to achieve it to the fullest extent possible, there is a way: We understand and deal with ourselves. We start now to reflect on our fate of who/what we are, that is to consciously understand where and how we are going through spiritual awakening keeping always in mind, that the course of our life is somehow self-actualized or self-realized (meant also to have substance and not simply meant to be).
Are Fate and Destiny Forces?
Destiny is actually the reflection of fate. Fate and destiny are interaction forces; a balanced interaction towards a new situation or occurrence in which two or more objects or events as a cause act upon one another to produce a new effect by providing and accepting love and help.
Therefore, fate furthermore as a cause reflects feelings, actions, truths, virtues, purpose, timing, character, possibilities, spiritual love, space, abilities, intent, certainties, and self-realization.
Destiny as an effect reflects emotions, reactions, values, morals, momentum, meaning, behavior, time, probabilities, fear of love, actualities, and self-fulfillment.
That further means that there are no real distinct boundaries between fate and destiny, past and future, cause and effect, chance and choice as they all constitute parts of the same procedure or the mechanism of how consciousness works through free will.
In reality, consciousness always evolves by living consciously in the present moment (neither in the past nor in the future) where everything materializes, happens, or co-exists (always meant to have purpose and meaning) as they both form and reflect the actual solutions to any problems, desires or challenges that someone can face in life through free will.
Fate as a Choice, Faith or Right?
Therefore, in order to complete ourselves is to finally know, and sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence as an inhered right or life's purpose (through the ladder of love) and to experience spiritual love (through the ladder of fear of love) as life's meaning through action-reaction forces and free will as well, both at the same time and to the same density or degree. Purpose and meaning of life form together the actual solution that reflects both the intended materialization and the ultimate fulfillment of a deep need or desire as an inborn right or privilege rather than a forced by life's circumstances choice or even as a leap of faith. In this way, things will set right with no more drama, pain, or misfortune in line with personal virtues (by exploiting purposefully the best or strongest abilities) and thus experiencing existence according to the collective morals (as a meaningful response to own abilities) in a way as they were always meant to be. That further means to live and exist where the authentic or pure meaning of life through destiny reflects the intended fate as the true personal potential and not as a simple choice based on a leap of faith. In this way fate as spiritual in heritage and destiny as a conquest act upon one another (fate as a purpose of life sets coincidences as destiny and destiny in turn as a meaning of living as synchronicities determines fate) to produce a new effect as interaction forces through free will: by giving space to an ongoing spiritual evolution through the present moment as an absolute solution, by finding finally the long lost "other half" where the ultimate bliss resides, by sensing or knowing of divine Kallos both as a spiritual love, inheritance or spiritual gift (by exploiting the best abilities) and by finally experiencing spiritual love as a prize or conquest (by exercising the best abilities to the fullest). --------------------------------- What is the golden mean Nicomachean Ethics? THE GOLDEN MEAN IN ARISTOTLE'S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS The golden mean or golden middle way is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency; it is an age old principle which holds that virtue lies between the extremes. According to the principle, each moral virtue is a mean or lies between extremes of pleasure or of action -- doing or feeling too much or too little. The absolute mean is different from the mean as it is relative to the individual. It appeared in Greek thought at least as early as the Delphic maxim "nothing in excess", was discussed in Plato's Philebus. Aristotle analyzed the golden mean in the Nicomachean Ethics Book II: That virtues of character can be described as means. It was subsequently emphasized in Aristotelian virtue ethics. For example, in the Aristotelian view, courage is a virtue, but if taken to excess would manifest as rashness, and, in deficiency, cowardice (see the table below: Sphere Of Action Or Feeling, Excess, Mean, Deficiency). The Writer's Point of View: According to the writer's point of view the ultimate purpose and meaning of life for humanity is to finally reach and maintain this desirable middle of golden mean as an equilibrium point of a spiritual mental state of pure bliss by consciously offering help (not giving) and start accepting (not receiving) love through a transactional activity and not by exchanging love to help (an act by giving love and receiving help in return).

The term transaction comes from traditional economic science and refers to the transactional activity between two or more persons. Transactional activity is an agreement between parties to exchange goods, services or monetary consideration (or different goods in the original transactional society which has now been abolished) to meet the needs of both parties. At the equilibrium point that is the center of everything there is an infinite wellspring of creativity and love (The Golden Mean Flow Chart). One fundamental purpose of human life is to cut through all the layers of the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) as levels of challenges by levering the most efficient character facets while exploiting the most efficient to each and every case behavioral tactics, and to uncover this wellspring within yourself, then let it flow through you. You are a musical instrument, and the purpose of life is to allow the eternal Music of Being to play you, producing a unique song only you can produce by following the principle of golden mean mentioned above by consciously offering and accepting love and help (instead of simply or mechanically giving and receiving love and help). In this way love as your own energy comes back as pleasurable pure essence or music at the very core of your existence.

———————————————————————————————-

P.S. This article is much longer than a usual one. It is not by accident. It happens for a reason. As everything else in this world. The reason is simple. It’s a tiny honor to the Great Hymn of Love. “The silver lining”. 

Some scientists or gurus on the subject around the world insist lately that there is enough evidence that personality creates personal reality. This according to my humble opinion and because of my personal research is half correct and half wrong. This reflects exactly the play of duality. Every concept comes with its counterpart image, even ourselves.

Personality is basically a concept and an idea. Surprisingly the same happens with reality. It’s not only about sex male or female but it’s also about it. It has to do with those two opposing archetypal energies though. Divine masculine and feminine energies. It’s so confusing but so real. It happens for a very special reason. Doubt is the key to unlocking reality. To create and sustain reality.

Doubt reflects duality. Love and be afraid. But fear is actually the absence of love. So, what is the difference between those two phrases? None! The only difference is that they refer to a concept and an idea, one is the reflection of the other as an illusion. It’s actually misleading, a trick of consciousness, nothing less and nothing more. A dirty trick that is a key to unlocking the door to the theater of a reality show, but with purpose and meaning.

Personal reality reflects exactly your personality. Character is attitude and behavior is perspective. Sides of the same coin. Chance and choice. Fate and destiny. Love and fear. Truth and lie. Right and wrong. Day and night. White and black. Sun and moon. Original and imitation. Prototype and idol. The reality that you believe that you are in that you see and feel is nothing more than an optical illusion and its reflection both at the same time.

Reality is just a glimpse into the past and the future through the present moment, that is something much more than what you believe as a biological child of your parents and something much less than what you think as a spiritual child of the divine. Everything is one. Everything is connected. Children of love and romance. Of masculine and feminine divine energy. But life is neither in unity nor in division. The connecting link is always the present moment.

Life lies between concepts and ideas. Between the lines. Between chance and choice and cause and effect. Life is the causal effect. Personality does not coincide nor create reality. Reality is both an illusion and a reflection, as the two aspects of personality, within the prism of the present moment.

Fulfillment is a feeling of achievement that leads to happiness. Contentment is an emotion of completion as a state of satisfaction. Fulfillment reflects fullness. Lack of fulfillment leads to emptiness. Fullness and emptiness are relative terms.

Fullness declares space as momentum. Emptiness declares time as timing. Time is an illusion a simple idea. Space is a simple notion. Nothingness is their intersection point (space-time). It reflects whatever comes to creation acknowledged by our senses (pan) whenever there comes to existence perceived by our senses again (holon).

Living consciously into nothingness is the meeting point of the spirit and soul and the meaning of blissfulness is the ultimate prize of purpose and meaning of life. The present moment is nothing more than a moment into nothingness. A virtual play of the senses.

It’s not really what you feel and what you think, as many believe, but the attitude and behavior toward the facts, conditions, and situations. Therefore, nothing is created but neither is destroyed. Life and death are just sensations and illusions. However, nothing constitutes an objective reality. Just a lesson down on earth. An adventure in practice. An impression of reality.

As long as you live you actually exist between two worlds. One of the alive and one of the dead. But you are not part of none of those worlds either. You live and exist right there in between but you are not really consciously aware of it. And this is because of personality and consciousness.

So, there is no reason to worry. You cannot die but you can still live. And this happens because of the presence of personality. Cherish personality. Take care of it as something precious. As a divine present. But do not forget that you are not what your personality dictates. Personality is just the vehicle. You’re something much more and much greater. A personality is just an act in the theater of the divine.

You are a persona but not the person you think and believe you are. Keep in mind and accept your role with stoic behavior. Do not despair. Be optimistic. Which means to be realistic. Do not forget your origin but mostly your holy destination. Claim back your birthright, your earthy power as your divine mission. And above all always remember.

You are the silver lining!

 

Divine love as a feeling (spiritual love):

Declaration of compliance toward an agreement:

“I, the divine masculine energy, I hereby declare to the best of my knowledge, that I qualify to get to know or sense divine love as beauty. Because, as an archetypal energy I possess all the necessary qualifications, and through my sincere and decisive purposeful actions,

I am absolutely sure that by providing (acting or giving out) my deepest (eternal or everlasting) love, as a basic support, provable solution or cause (truth or worth), it will be well received and by the help (emotional love) offered in return my wish will be satisfied.

As a consequence, I will finally receive an advantage as the state of having such support (benefit) and exercise my birthright to sense (live) divine love, not only as a chance event but also as a fulfilling living experience, as life’s superior right or purpose”.

yourspiritualquest.com

Love as a feeling or spiritual love is a type of love or force (feelings of affection toward spiritual-emotional connection that helps us find meaning and purpose in life containing divine masculine electric quantitative energy, property, or archetype).

Spiritual love as a feeling ranges from selfish to selfless love.

Love as an element (of spiritual love):

Love as an element or quality of spiritual love is also a primary feeling and the most important or final step on the rung of the ladder of love.

 

Divine love as an emotion (emotional love):

Declaration of conformity against (honoring) an agreement:

“Me, the divine feminine energy, I hereby confirm to the best of my belief, that I deserve to experience the existence of divine love as excellence to satisfy my archetypal need to defeat my deepest fears (that derive from the deep need of being loved and admired).

After meeting existence as an actuality, a meaningful coincidence or experience as the ultimate meaning of life (actual result or existence as excellence),

I will finally become able to complete my dream by returning (support  value as utility (emotional love) as an appreciation for the worth or truth provided, through my gentle by-nature reaction (providing unfailing support by reverse auction – opposite or contrary in direction),

hoping for it to be well accepted (lived) as a privilege, a benefit, a distinct living experience, as a matter of fact (being plain, straightforward, or unemotional)”.

yourspiritualquest.com

Divine love (emotional – spiritual love combined within the whole):

Agreement between the parties of divine love as emotional and spiritual love; a contract is concluded:

“If the parties intend to be finally bound, they reach a sufficient agreement. Conclusion of contract with the offer (help as a sacrifice offered for the provided value as utility) and its acceptance (seing the truth or worth of an action as benefit).

A contract can be concluded by the final realization of the acceptance of the offer by both parties, combining within the whole, forming finally divine love as a single unit, an actual solution, causal effect, a coherent (blissful) life as a fulfilling and meaningful living experience;

a personal reality of a distinct purpose on an always higher plane (purposeful, fulfilling, or fated) with unique meaning (meaningful, worthwhile, or destined) that reflects the personality of an individual (character and behavior – the unique patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish a person from others)”.

yourspiritualquest.com

Emotional love or love as an emotion or force is both:

  • a primary feeling (loving someone or something) reflecting the emotional needs of a person (as a strong feeling of affection and concern toward another person as arising from kinship or close friendship or a strong feeling of affection and concern for another person based on divine feminine magnetic qualitative energy, property, or archetype) and
  • a primary emotion accompanied by sexual attraction (falling in love with someone or something reflecting also the emotional needs of a person).

Emotional love as an emotion (falling in love with someone or something) ranges from fearful to fearless love (self-love).

Fear of – falling in – love is also an emotion (as another element of emotional love) and the main step that works as an initial barrier that turns spiritual love and changes its status from positive affective stimulus (spiritual love) to negative affective stimulus (fear of love) reflecting the ladder of the fear of love that is an opposing force to the ladder of love in humans. 

Any other feelings and emotions lay in between and interact through the primary ones and especially through emotions such as loving someone as having a double quality (sensed both as a strong feeling – loving someone – and experienced as emotion as fear of – falling in – love or simply fear of love).

All other types of love, feelings, and emotions exist under these two primary ones: either love as an emotion comes from a place of fear or a place of love.

  • Spiritual love (divine masculine energy) is a type of love or force as part of divine love as a single unit (bid to know or sense divine Kallos by the exertion of love as a force or means of change – exchange – or leverage) and
  • loving someone or something as another type or force (emotional love or divine feminine energy) as part of divine love as a single unit (ask to experience spiritual love to its maximum potential by overcoming the initial step or barrier that is the fear of love) are opposing (acting in opposition; opposing) and not opposites (moving in opposite directions).
  • Kallos (a Greek word meaning beautiful or excellence) is a sensational stimulus as a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially sight.
  • Sensational stimuli are processed by the cognitive mechanisms that generate the appropriate mixture of positive affective stimuli (love) and negative affective stimuli (fear of love).
  • Love (as an element of spiritual love and a step on the ladder of love) and fear of love (as an element of emotional love and a step of the ladder of fear of love) are dualities; a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces by providing and accepting love and help.
  • Love is a gut feeling; an instinct; an inborn impulse or motivation; an active force; an instinctive feeling; a mental state that is unleashed by the senses; a positive affective stimulus that triggers feelings of joy, and pleasure; and a cause for change.
  • Positive affective stimuli range from selfish love, which tends to prioritize one’s desires and needs above the needs and desires of their partner and the relationship to true love, which is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment.
  • Loving someone or something is both a feeling and an emotion; in this case, a feeling is an objective emotional state (working as a bridge between feelings and emotions); an emotion is a subjective emotional state.
  • Loving someone or something as an objective emotional state; sticking to the facts and disregarding emotions; keeping an emotional distance; an idea; a reactive force; a mental state brought on by neurophysiological change.
  • Loving someone or something is also a subjective emotional state based on influences by personal feelings interpretations or prejudices; the fear of love as the first step draws negative emotions of rejection that is actually an illusion; a false idea or belief; a state of experiencing; a misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience; or a misleading image presented to the visionan intuitive emotion distinguished from reasoning or knowledge; a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure.
  • Negative affective stimuli range from fearful love which is a threat to our physical, emotional, or psychological well-being to fearless or self-love which is a genuine relationship that is not dominated by the ego.

 

Opposing means to be in conflict or competition with something.

The ancient Greek word Kallos essentially means beauty or excellence and is associated with both the female and the male sex.

The prototype is associated with beauty, the male sex or white, and the idol with excellence, the female sex or black.

Black and white as archetypes are opposing and not opposite.  They are “non-colors”. Black is created when there is no light at all, unlike all other colors, which are only present when there is light. White is actually the sum of all the colors of the sky arc, the iris, i.e. the primary and complementary or secondary colors together.

Fear is only the absence of love. Fear is like darkness. The same is true about love and fear: love is light, white and fear is darkness, black.

Kallos is an ideal that developed in ancient Greek thought, referred to it as a combination of physical appearance and the virtues of the soul.

Love reflects white and breeds positive feelings like joy, peace, and satisfaction. Fear of love reflects black and breeds negative emotions like anger, guilt, and sadness.

 

The opposite is something completely different of a contrary kind e.g. the opposite of yes is no.

 

 

“Duality means a state of having two different parts, forces, elements or qualities such as:

love as a feeling (feeling of affection having substance as a strong drive, force or cause) that is another element, quality or step on the ladder of love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos, as beauty or excellence, at its highest degree or worth by the exertion of love as a force or means of change – exchange – or leverage), as an offer, effort or attempt and

falling – in-love as an emotion (intimacy, experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) that is the main emotional element, quality or step on the ladder of the fear of love (ask to experience spiritual love to its highest value or potential by exercising the fear of love as an opposing force to love or resistance to change) and also as a way of reinforcing, experiencing or sustaining change as a transaction,

which coexist in a balanced interaction as complementary opposing or conflicting forces of affection (tender attachment) combining with intimacy (engaged in, involving) within the whole, in order to create spiritual-emotional closeness”

“Duality is based on a false conception that the idol is a form of the prototype (an image or representation) visible but without substance while in reality the idol mirrors the prototype (reflects a subjective image of deep respect or admiration on prototype) so that they both by combing constitute the experience of the existence of the prototype as an entity (existence of the prototype as actual result) that has substance (its idol as appearance or provable solution).

In this way prototype with its idol always coexist (consciously-unconsciously) creating spiritual-emotional closeness as an actual solution (the appearance of the idol as a force of intimacy, fear of love, strong feelings, meaning, reflecting space through emotions as timing) combining with the existence of prototype (as force of affection, love, purpose reflecting time through feelings as momentum) or not at all”

Affection as spiritual love and intimacy as emotional love are combined, joined,  or merged to form love (divine love) as a single unit or substance; combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of one another.

 

Divine love as a combined single unit (atom) or substance consists also of two opposing elements, qualities, atoms, or forces: in love (in a state of strong emotional attachment and usually sexual attraction) combined with falling in love (being in love which is a part of life that many people want to experience).

Divine love in turn (as a whole or atom) makes the world go round – literally – while is more permanent and long-lasting due to the nuclear energy process through fusion: The fusion of two atoms results in the production of an amount of heat, which is the “key” to energy production.

Divine love, as a combined single unit (atom), then splits (is forced to break) and is divided into two or more groups, parts, atoms, or forces, especially into halves. Love is divided and shared especially into opposite or antagonistic parts, atoms or forces of resources and responsibilities (into means and ways as action-reaction forces by exchanging feelings to emotions).

The nuclear energy produced is released through a process called nuclear fission, in which nuclei separate and release energy.

 

 

In opposition, when we’re in a state of inner balanced interaction of competing forces we can also be in a place of love and fear of love at the same time interchangeably (as the two sides of the same coin – the principle of duality).

 

Fear of love is not the absence of love. Like eros and sadness, love and fear of love are dualities that live in the same chamber of the heart. When we feel love, fear of love will rear its head”

But why do people find it difficult to accept intense affection and appreciation? Some of them think that they are not worthy of being loved. Others have been hurt so much in love that they are afraid to open up again and deal wholeheartedly with another person. Everyone has created protective armor to protect themselves from being injured again. But love requires spiritual and emotional closeness and it only works when you take off your armor.

 

“The degree of the level or stage of love depends directly on the density of the opposing fear of love

yourspiritualquest.com

 

Since you can feel either love or fear of love at the same time, you are going to have to actively or consciously choose one or the other. However, since many of us would likely rather be consciously in a place of love rather than a place of fear of love, we have to consciously act to be in that place, no matter what we choose.

 

Love Significance, Love vs. Fear of Love, Chance, Choice, Synchronicity, and Free Will

 

“Fear of love is the reflection of love as lie (value) is the reflection of truth (worth). Inclined by human nature to striving always for love and truth you become both the mirror image and an optical effect of this self-reflection at will”

yourspiritualquest.com

 

Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about (especially love as a quality of spiritual love that reflects divine love as divine beauty or excellence that is the actual source and the end course on the ladder of love) because it hasn’t fully experienced it yet.

That’s why any trial for an explanation of its origin and utility throughout human history is partially correct or incomplete; Spiritual love as a feeling or truth, however, is perceived as worth, while fear of love as an emotion is perceived as its value, based mostly on the value system of an individual.

 

In addition, humanity hasn’t realized that fear of love constitutes a necessary step as a trial that has to be overcome (it’s the first, the strongest, and most significant quality or step) toward the fulfillment of ourselves on the ladder of the fear of love as opposed to the ladder of love that reflects the desire to complete ourselves by finding the long-lost “other half”.

That is to finally know, sense divine Kallos as divine love and then as spiritual love (beauty as having substance) and experience spiritual love (experiencing excellence as existence) both at the same time through synchronicity perceived and acknowledge them as meaningful coincidences or experiences.

 

Kallos: An Ancient Greek Ideal for Beauty

 

To love actually means to be willing to know or sense divine Kallos or love as spiritual love (having substance) and loving someone or something is asking to experience this spiritual love (experiencing existence). That further means:

 

  • the ability to exercise free will and choice as a human’s birthright or privilege.
  • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love as a mutual agreement to meet the needs of both parties) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
  • to be free to accept help from others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential honoring the mutual agreement) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
  • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
  • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love to others (supply or offer love as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
  • to be response-able to return the help as a reward for the love you receive from others (demand love in return for the help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
  • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
  • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

 

Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation, striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes one of excess and one of deficiency, and maintaining inner peace or balance by exercising the synchronicity principle:

  • by freely giving love and receiving help (focused on doing or acting by taking charge) and
  • exchanging by offering back help for accepting love (by being passive and ready to compromise).

 

According to the principle, you should aim for the chances as causes and motives (by being passive as a trait of the divine feminine energy) and understand how they relate to every situation, by looking for the effects of the choices as your reactions to actions (caused by the divine masculine energy), and handling the situation internally than externally by utilizing a more proactive and not reactive approach.

Too much divine masculine energy can lead to a domineering nature (and even war) while too much divine feminine energy can lead to indecisiveness and not enough action.

 

On the other hand, what would our lives be like if we were never afraid of anything? What risk would we take? The fear of love holds us back, many people do not realize how much it holds them back until they reach the end of their lives – and until then, it may be too late to do anything about it.

 

“Striving for inner peace or balance reflects the basic principle of the golden mean, that is attained by balancing action-reaction, divine masculine and feminine energies, not only as equal or equivalent forces but also as transactional activities through free will, that is actually:

attaining a state of equilibrium by equating an action force (as a chance of taking charge that is a condition by value, worth, or function – feeling, purpose, uncertainties, abilities) to a reaction force as a choice (by getting ready to compromise that is a state by status, rights or opportunities – emotion, meaning, certainties, responsibilities)

reforming an opposing to antagonistic relationship and then to a transactional activity, by taking a leap of faith as an act to allow someone to start anew and feel completely free, as a reward”

“Maintaining inner peace or balance is attained by exercising the synchronicity principle by offering help (by offering someone the choice to compromise as an act of sacrifice to the provided value as a utility), and by accepting love (by accepting the chance for taking charge by seeing the truth or the worth of an act as a benefit) and through a transactional activity to meet the needs of both parties (of love as affection, feelings, chance, an act, truth, worth, value or utility and help as intimacy, strong feelings, emotion, choice, reaction,  or benefit) as purpose and meaning of life”

yourspiritualquest.com

Striving for inner peace or balance is attained by balancing chances to choices as action-reaction forces in stages or phases by turning:

  • chances to uncertainties (chances as possibilities grow in a space of uncertainty as its main purpose – not knowing what comes next is also good) 
  • choices to certainties (choices as certainties constitute the meaning of the existence of the quality of probabilities of being reliably true)
  • certainties to abilities
  • uncertainties to responsibilities 
  • abilities to virtues (as feelings, skills, a way of living, something that can be learned through experience), 
  • responsibilities to morals (as emotions, experience, or excellence) 
  • by relating virtues (as reason, feelings, or causes) to our desires (as morals, emotions, or effects) 

Chances and choices before turning to uncertainties-certainties are expressed as possibilities-probabilities by offering love (through feelings) and experienced by accepting help (through emotions).

After turning to uncertainties-certainties become opposing or competing forces (possibilities as chances for actions and then as uncertainties or probabilities as choices of the chances for action and then as certainties).

After turning around to certainties-uncertainties, they turn to the opposing or competing forces as abilities-responsibilities, by relating virtues and morals, as causes and effects (or actualities). 

In this way, by converting the status from chances and choices to certainties-actualities as succession events (through cognitive intervention) accepting love and offering help are the new opposing forces forming a balanced relationship, through a transactional activity, as purpose and meaning of life; Cognitive intervention is actually by taking action for something to occur as a trigger or a cause or an impulsive action or choice between chances towards success or opportunities, or just happen (an effect, a succession event as a reaction to action or choice between chances of success). 

Impulsive choice and free will are actually taking a leap of faith (a leap over logic, reason, and emotional boundaries based mostly on psychological factorsa belief in something uncertain; outweighing the uncertainty of an ambiguous future result or effect by making an impulsive choice as a false certainty or cause at present) in order:

  • to discover who you ”really” are.
  • to make yourself feel “whole”.
  • to feel excited and anew.
  • to have no fear.
  • to be more intuitive.
  • to feel a complete sense of freedom.
  • to achieve great things in life.

Understanding these great ideas about chance, choice, free will, love, fear and the fear of love can motivate us to work to stay consciously in a place of love. Learning how to design our thoughts and lives to keep us in this place is important for anyone who wants to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.

Reason does not contrast love and the fear of love at odds with each other—and neither does the dictionary.

The fear itself isn’t a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much we care. In a way, fear can deepen joy, passion, and love, if we learn how to find the courage to act despite it.

Rather, when people think of the opposite of love, they are probably thinking of dislike, disgust, or perhaps the most common of all, hate. And when they think the opposite of fear, they think of courage, bravery, or fearlessness.

Keeping these big ideas in mind, we can start to break down what it looks like to choose either love or fear of love in our daily lives. Here, in this article are some ways love versus fear of love manifests itself in the real world.

Fear of love destroys. Love creates”

When we’re afraid of something, we’re more likely to tear it down or throw it away. Coming from a place of love, however, encourages us to create, build, or add. If your project or your work gets rejected, you might be afraid to try again and nothing will happen as a result. Conversely, if you truly love your work, you’re more likely to make some adjustments and try again until you succeed.

Fear of love tightens. Love releases”

If you’re afraid of losing something, you might tighten your grip on it. If you truly love it, however, you’re willing to let it go if you need to. Parents learn this lesson as their children grow up and prepare to leave home. Tightening your “grip” on your children, out of fear, will be stressful for both the child and you, but releasing them with love will help them feel encouraged and supported, and will bring you more peace as a parent.

Fear of love breeds domination. Love breeds cooperation”

When someone is afraid of losing control, it’s easy for them to become domineering. Love, on the other hand, breeds cooperation. Loving couples are more likely to work together to create a life and a home that both of them are happy with. But if one or both of the parties start to live in fear, they may start acting dominant as a way of exerting control.

If we do not love ourselves, why anyone else? Rejection of self-acts as negative hypnosis: The more negative beliefs, the stronger your self-doubt. Before you can form a close bond with another person, you must first understand the most important that is saving the relationship in your life and most and foremost the relationship with yourself.

Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. Fear of love hesitates”

Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. While it is nice to be loved by someone else, each of us can only really feel loving feelings for another person and not that person’s emotions for us. To connect with and sustain these loving feelings within us, we must take loving actions. Otherwise, we may live in a fantasy.

Fear of emotional closeness is characterized by the fact that people need more and more distance as a relationship becomes closer. This situation may sound familiar to you: You want nothing more than a happy partnership. But instead of committing, you hesitate. Fear of being hurt or overwhelmed by your emotions. And instead of looking for a solution, you leave each time, you find it a little harder to relate to another person. And at some point, you doubt that you can accept love and open your heart.

Fear often keeps us from doing things we otherwise really want to do. Love, on the other hand, pushes us toward those goals and encourages us to act to make our dreams a reality. In addition, scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

Deep in our hearts, we humans long for true and unconditional love. At the same time, many people are close to their inner selves. They lock their hearts with heavy locks and do not give others a chance to find the keys to their heart. These people have a hard time accepting the love they want so much. Sometimes they do not even recognize that it is right in front of them, because love is everywhere.

Thoughts like “nobody wants to be with me” are in their minds. And although they do not have this feeling on purpose, of course, it always brings back moments when they could be happy. Self-doubt ultimately leads to stress, because when someone else shows you that he loves you, you wonder if something is wrong. This increases your fear of being hurt, frustrated, or exploited.

Love is positive. It is proactive. It looks at the goal and says, “Yes, we can do that. Let’s get going.” It involves the love of the goal, love of yourself, and love of the steps you’ll need to take to get there. You move toward the goal, ready and willing to face whatever challenges appear along the way.

Fear of love is negative. It is reactive. It looks at the goal and says, “No, we can’t do that. Let’s get away.” When you’re fearful, you fear that your goal isn’t achievable, that you aren’t capable, or that your plan couldn’t possibly get you to where you want to go. So, instead of moving toward the goal, you move away from it. So, you finally convince yourself that the goal isn’t worth the effort.

The Significance of Love in Reality Creation

Reality is a state of consciousness of having substance and experiencing existence by combining and equating the following fundamental principles:

  • Duality Principle through critical thinking (know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence that is an idealistic, notional idea (as affection) and fear of love (as intimacy) are combined to form a single unit of love expressed as chances for something to occur or possibilities and experienced as chances of experiencing success or probabilities, with the
  • Equivalence Principle through analytical thinking (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as chances of success; divide and share resources – individuals or groups of people as provable solutions or root causes – by turning possibilities to uncertainties and then to abilities or core competencies) and the
  • Equality Principle (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as choices towards success) through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities by turning probabilities into certainties and then response-to-abilities or responsibilities that lead to actual results.
  • The equity Principle striving for inner peace and balance (that reflects the basic principle of the golden mean) recognizes that each individual or group has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome where always by default cause equates with effect by balancing presented chances to choices through free will. According to the equity principle, the effect justifies the cause for something to occur (Choice as a Cause, to be, and Chance as an effect, to exist). In this way, uncertainties as core competencies through action forces turn to certainties and then to substance, and certainties as responsibilities through reaction forces turn to actualities, leading to experiencing existence or occurrence.
  • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause where both form the actual solutions to a problem, uncertainty, or risk through free will [Choice as a Cause or Meaning (To be) = Chance as an Effect or Purpose (To exist) = Actual Solution (both Chance as Meant to be which defines Fate as meaningful coincidences or simply Meaning and Choice as Meant to exist as Purpose which determines actual experiences as Destiny)]. In this way, actualities (effects) are perceived as having substance (To be), and occurrences (causes) as experiencing existence or living experiences (To exist).
  • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance attained between two extremes (mentioned above as the golden mean) by accepting love and offering help (a transactional activity) – instead of simply giving (exchanging) love for help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation by striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes;  by accepting love and offering help – one of excess and one of deficiency – the first as a moderate feeling of affection as chances of success and the later as intimacy as choices towards experiencing success as physical or emotional closeness, by exercising the sacred right of free will to meet the needs of both parties (more of a transactional activity instead of a simple exchange).

The Mechanism

Front Consciousness Operations:

Critical way of thinking or critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing as a guide to a possible action toward the best solutions to a problem (by understanding the circumstances that a thinker is aware of) through the logical connection between a concept and an idea (that is the identification of the problem and nature of a problem itself).

An analytical way of thinking or analytical thinking is the intellectual ability to extract and process key information from data, verify the causes, and develop workable solutions (provable solutions) for the problem identified.

Back Consciousness Operations:

A synthetic way of thinking or Synthetic thinking is the combination of the parts taken from analytical thinking (provable solutions) into a complex whole as results; and assessment of the effects (actual results).

The difference between the analytical and synthetic ways of thinking is that analytical thinking is the abstract separation of a whole into its constituent parts to study their relations while synthetic thinking takes the parts and combines them into a whole again through subjective-objective and reasonable justification.

The Equivalence Principle equates Inertial mass as a qualitative measure (a condition) to Gravitational mass as a quantitative measure (a property, quality, or characteristic) that is to turn or equate an emotion to a feeling such as fear of love to love.

Inertial mass is the mass of a body as determined by the second law of motion from the acceleration of the body when it is subjected to a force that is not due to gravity.

Gravitational is the mass of a body determined by its response to the force of gravity and is measured by comparing the force of gravity of an unknown mass to the force of gravity of a known mass. Inertial mass is found by applying a known force to an unknown mass, measuring the acceleration, and applying Newton’s Second Law, a = F/m.

  • Weight is different from mass. Weight (W) is the force of gravity exerted on an object.
  • Mass is a measure of the inertia of the object (i.e. how much it resists changes in velocity).
  • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.

Love Velocity as an Action
Love Velocity as an Action

The higher the value of gravitational force the higher the weight and speed/velocity; they are directly proportional to each other. A change in velocity is a change in energy and a weight change.

The Equality Principle requires that equal situations are treated equally and unequal situations differently. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities. Failure to do so will amount to discrimination unless a subjective or objective and reasonable justification exists.

Duality Principle: turns an Undefined problem to solve to Identifiable problem (Reality Reflection)

Equivalence Principle: definition of the nature turns an Identifiable problem to an Identified one and choose provable solution to solve it (Reality Perception)

Equality Principle: Identified problem through provable solution turns to a Defined actual result through reasonable justification (Reality Formation)

Equity Principle: actual solution finally not only treats equally provable solution with actual result but also balances them gaining timing and momentum that give rise to the actual solution of the problem at hand where the effect justifies the cause (Effect relates to Cause); (Reality Expression)

Causality Principle: equates provable solution to Identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences to coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning coincidences to meaningful or experiences (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution); (Reality Creation)

Synchronicity Principle: subjective experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) that turn occurrences as chance events to coincidences and then to meaningful experiences towards inner peace and balance, maintained by offering and accepting love and help (accepting love as life purpose and offering help as meaning or living experience); (Reality Manifestation)

Duality Principle (Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium through critical thinking): [Inertial mass * Love (Acceleration as an Action Force)] = [Gravitational mass * Fear of Love (Intensity of the Gravitational Field as a Reaction Force)]

Equivalence Principle (Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium through analytical thinking): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose)] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of love  Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning)]

Equality Principle (Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium treated equally through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose) = Cause as a Principle (make something happen) = Space] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of Love Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning) = Effect as a Consequence or Result = Time]

Equity Principle (Psychological – Mental Love Equilibrium balanced equally) indicates that Love Velocity as Supply, Purpose or Timing (a point of a period when something may happen as chance, judgement or control) is also balanced against Demand, Meaning or Momentum (a time period when something happens as choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing = Supply = Space = Cause and Momentum = Demand = Time = Effect.

Causality Principle (Physical – Psychological Love Equilibrium); The logical relationship between two events the Cause (Inertial mass) and the Effect (Gravitational mass) through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency); As all falling bodies have the same constant acceleration the two types of mass must be equal to a third force or Resonant frequency as an Actual Solution; (Inertial mass = Resonant frequency and Gravitational mass = Resonant frequency) or (Inertial mass – as Timing, Supply, Space or Cause = Gravitational mass – as Demand, Time or Effect = Resonant frequency)

Synchronicity Principle: subjective meaningful experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) sensed as the Natural frequency of a body determined by its response to the force of Gravity compare to Inertia mass – that forms the Actual solution.

The actual steps:

Front Consciousness Operations:

  • Duality Principle: Combining two competitive or opposing forces or elements; Love as Chance for Taking Charge and Fear of Love as Choice; Inertial mass and Gravitational mass; Velocity and Weight.

Back Consciousness Operations:

  • Equivalence Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Chances (chances of success), by equating elements of Chances (as possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose or virtues). Love velocity as a provable solution to an undefined problem, as an action towards inertial mass, a concept or a feeling turns into a purpose as a virtue and then to a cause (a defined root cause of the problem), and then to space.
  • Equality Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Choices (chances of experiencing success), by equating elements of Choices (as probabilities, certainties, and responsibilities) of being equal in status, rights, and opportunities (as chances of experiencing success, meaning or morals, possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose, or virtues). Finally, the fear of love as a reaction, an idea, a resistance to the applied force of the speed of love, a resistance to the actual solution as an indefinable problem, a gravitational mass, or emotion turns into meaning as a moral, and then to effect (a definite result as the actual impact of the root cause of the problem), and then to time.
  • Equity Principle: According to the Equality Principle Purpose as Virtues and Meaning as Morals are not only treated equally (as equal Action-Reaction forces or inputsbut are also balanced (a state of equilibrium) gaining momentum or timing after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship (single events or a sequence of related circumstances that give rise to the actual solution to the initial problem at hand); According to the equity principle finally Love Velocity (as distance divided by the time taken) equates with Time. Love Velocity as Supply, Timing, or Purpose (a point of a period when something may happen as a chance, judgment, or control) is balanced against Fear of Love as a Demand, Momentum, or Meaning (the time period that something happens as a choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing (Purpose as Virtues or Supply or Cause or Space) is balanced against Momentum (Meaning as Morals or Effects or Demand or Time),(Effect = Cause).
  • Causality Principle: The logical relationship between two events the Cause and the Effect through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency). It equates a provable solution to an identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences into meaningful coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning meaningful coincidences into actual experiences as an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution).

Connecting Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations:

Love (Agape) pushes energy forwards as Chances and triggers in Love (Eros) by giving love or receiving help as emotions, reactions, or resistance due to the Fear of Love.

In Love (Eros), as a Choice, becomes then the Main Cause of the resistance to Love and moves by pulling energy backward altering its status from uncertainty to certainty – by taking a leap of faith – and then turning to an Effect (due to the Causality and Synchronicity Principles).

  • Synchronicity Principle: a phenomenon where the human mind interprets (through front consciousness operations) actions on chances as provable solutions or coincidences that turn to reactions as choices or meaningful coincidences or actual results and finally to actual solutions or actual experiences as an effect. At the end of the process (through back consciousness operations), an initial risk, uncertainty, or problem through the Fear of Love as resistance to Love (weight) turns to Cause, to Meaning, to Space, and then to Timing, and Love Velocity turns to Purpose, to Effect (an event as an actual solution to the initial problem or risk), to Momentum through Space-Time or the Present moment.
  • Finally (by connecting front-to-back consciousness operations) Timing as a coincidence, a meaningful event, life, space, or fate = Momentum as a sequence of meaningful coincidences, events, living experiences, time, or destiny = the Present moment as space-time or an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution or Space = Time = Space-Time).

Dreaming of love is an empty feeling. In order to be fulfilled one part of the mind (conscious) places a bid (auction) to the other part of the mind (unconscious) asking for its services (truth). The other part of the mind (unconscious) responds with reverse auction by placing a bid (an offer) for the price at which it is willing to provide (give) its services (truth value).

By giving or providing love, one part expects the other to receive (receiving love) as support. Offering love or support (a feeling) for help or assistance (an emotion). An offering is a type of offer or bid. When you offer something, you’re asking someone if they want it. One type of offering is a proposal or bid. By offering love (or something) it can be accepted or rejected (it depends on the value system). The offer stands on its own and does not depend on acceptance to be relevant or generous. An offer is not tied to the giver but stands in front of the receiver unashamed to be accepted (moral truth value) or rejected.

Through Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations ‘giving or proving’ and ‘receiving’ love and help, turn around as energy to become ‘offering’ and ‘accepting’ support and assistance respectively. This is a transactional activity based on mutual agreement between the two parties. That’s what makes the energy as spiritual and emotional love go round and round in circles in perpetuity. Meanwhile, a new dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained where the endless present as a personal reality through personality makes an earthy living experience not only possible or probable but also challenging by turning the unattainable not only attainable but also attained, as a divine offer, truth, or divine gift or help.

Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained as inner balance through free will, which means that actions on chances through senses (by giving or providing love) determine reactions as choices through illusions (by receiving help in return for love) to the same degree that fate as causes (by offering back love as help, as a gesture of goodwill, meaning, or meaningful coincidences) determine destiny as effects (by accepting the offered love as help, as an appreciation, purpose, or actual experiences).

Through dynamic blissful love equilibrium, an initial chance on action or intent (as purpose) against a choice as a reaction to an action (as meaning) turns around to become a meaningful experience (a meaning as a cause or fate) in conjunction with a series of meaningful experiences (a purpose as effect or destiny).

In this way, the initial energies (divine masculine and feminine energies) after they split coincide again (as cause and effect, character and behavior, purpose and meaning, fate and destiny) and exchange their energies (help as experience or excellence with love as beauty or use) based on truths and beliefs so both parts are content, satisfied, and fulfilled (blissful) by forming personality creating (reflecting) personal reality (half substance as masculine energy, half existence as feminine energy). The desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half” is finally attained.

The actual variables:

  • Inertial mass (Qualitative measure) = Gravitational mass (Quantitative measure)
  • Inertia = property of matter (attribute, quality, or characteristic)
  • Gravity: The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other physical matter having mass.
  • Mass: The Measure of inertia or gravity is a fundamental property of all matter; it is in effect the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force (the more significant the mass of a body the smaller the change produced by an applied force).
  • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction and it’s defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken; it is represented as m/s or cm/s.
  • Weight is dependent on gravitational force.

The Significance of In-Love in Reality Creation

In love is another element, quality, or step on the ladder of love that is the connecting link that connects all the main parts or states of the mind as it combines different qualities such as:

  • A desire as a feeling (having substance as a strong drive, force, or cause) is another element or step on the ladder of love based on intellectual intelligence (IQ) which is a human mental activity and understanding developed through thinking, experiences, and senses (by the conscious mind).
  • An emotion (experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) is the main element on the ladder of fear of love based on emotional intelligence (EQ) which is the ability to understand, manage, and regulate own emotions, reduce stress, defuse conflict, and reduce emotional reactivity through abstract reasoning (by the conscious-unconscious mind).
  • A distinct state of mind; psychological tendency; intuitive psychological choice; in the cause of freedom based on analytical intelligence (AQ) by comparing and contrasting ideas towards long-term provable solutions to problems by the preconscious mind.
  • An actual result; in effect; is valid from that moment based on synthetic intelligence (SQ) that is future-oriented, holistic, and synthesis of provable solutions (causes) with actual results (effects) by the subconscious mind.
  • A passion that is the essence of the beauty of love through non-conscious intelligence (NQ) with processes in which people are not consciously aware; systems indistinguishable in function; and non-conscious reasoning (by the nonconscious mind).
  • Sensing or seeing (experiencing) the essence of the beauty of love (spiritual love); love–in–love equilibrium by offering and accepting love and help through causal intelligence (CQ) by determining relationships more accurately by understanding how one variable impacts another and how certain outputs (actual results) have changed by identifying current and future trends (as actual solutions); blissful love sensed at the center of the heart.

The Levels of Love Equilibrium

The mystery behind the spiritual world is difficult to comprehend when we use worldly wisdom. However, we can see that the spirit has the plan to save us from any situation that we may find ourselves in through serial love levels in steps, or stages towards spiritual-mental love of the Higher self as a superior spiritual goal where true love (foresight) is perfectly aligned with self-love (insight):

  • Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium level or Self-conceptualization – Self-reflection equilibrium point 1 (based on the Duality Principle)
  • Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium level or Self-satisfaction – Self-fulfillment equilibrium point 2 (based on the Equivalence Principle)
  • Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium level or Self-actualization – Self-imagination equilibrium point 3 (based on the Equality Principle)
  • Spiritual – Psychological Love Equilibrium level (based on the Equity Principle)
  • Spiritual – Physical Love Equilibrium level (based on the Causality, Resonance, and Synchronicity Principles)

The Duality Principle:

Combining Chances and Choices within the whole as Possibilities and Probabilities

The Duality principle: A state of combining two opposing or competing forces within the whole; Unknown as chances for divine intervention to solve a problem as divine or spiritual love (Bid to know spiritual love) – Unknowns as chances of successful divine intervention (as choices) experienced as a fear of love (ask to successfully experience divine help) through the conscious-unconscious mind. It represents things that we are neither aware of nor understand and combines them into a whole as a single unit.

A conscious mind involves all of the things that you are currently both aware or unaware of and thinking about; short-term memory that is limited in terms of capacity; done or acting with critical awareness. It represents the Unknown as possibilities = chances of divine intervention to solve a problem (bid to know divine love or the ability for something to occur through a spontaneous response to the problem at hand – a logical assumption).

The unconscious mind consists of the processes in the mind that occur automatically and are not available for introspection; not awake or aware of and responding to one’s environment; it affects feelings and emotions. It represents the Unknowns as probabilities = chances of successful divine intervention to solve a problem (ask for divine help or to experience a successful divine help or something is both possible and likely to occur – an emotional prediction).

The Equivalence Principle:

Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Uncertainties

The Equivalence principle: A state of equating (dividing) two pairs of interacting, opposite, and equal forces (by a forced mental split) such as chances to uncertainties (50% Unknown as abilities for something to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the preconscious-subconscious mind. Things that we understand but are not aware of that turn into things that we were aware of but do not understand.

The Preconscious mind controls the information that is allowed to enter into conscious awareness; done or acting with analytical awareness. It represents the Unknown as abilities = 50% chances of occurrence of divine intervention, or help to solve a problem.

The Equality principle:

Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Certainties

The Equality principle: Treats equally the information that enters through the preconscious mind with the subconscious thoughts (Known-Knowns as things we’re aware of and understand) through the interference of the conscious-nonconscious mind by subjective-objective problem data analysis and reasonable justification through the synthetic way of thinking.

The subconscious mind responds to information that enters into conscious awareness through the preconscious mind through a subjective problem data analysis and reasonable justification; they are mental activities just below the threshold of consciousness; subconscious thoughts affect psychological responses and behavior.

A state of equating choices to certainties (50% Knowns for something both possible and likely to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind represents the Knowns as response-to-abilities or actualities (meaningful coincidences or experiences as chances of successful divine intervention, or help).

Balancing (by the reaction – forces) the Opposite forces of Uncertainties-Certainties as Values and Morals

The Equity Principle: Recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Equality of opportunity to achieve one’s potential, an equal share of benefits, empowerment to enable access to information, fair representation, and meaningful participation in decision-making through the exercise of Action-Reaction forces through Choice and Free will.

Known as uncertainties turn to certainties and then to values = 50% chances of the purposeful occurrence of divine intervention or help, and Knowns as certainties turn to actualities and then to morals = 50% chances of successful or meaningful divine intervention or help (experiences as meaningful coincidences). Supply as Values (Purpose) = Demand as Morals (Meaning).

The Causality principle:

Achieving a balance of the Opposite forces of Values and Morals as Causes and Effects

The Causality principle:  A genetic connection of phenomena through which one thing (the cause) under certain conditions gives rise to something else (the effect). The principle indicates the existence of a logical relationship between two events (relates a simple coincidence to a meaningful coincidence or experience), the root cause, and the effect (the actual result) where the cause always precedes the effect (the effect justifies the cause) and they both finally form the actual solution due to the resonance principle.

The Synchronicity Principle:

Maintaining the balance achieved through Nonconscious processes (by transactional activities)

The Synchronicity Principle: Subjective experiences (as nonconscious mental processes) that coincidences between events may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection. It supports the mechanism behind the constant adjustment of the alignment of the above levels or stages that is Love – In Love Equilibrium point (as a balancing factor towards the Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium point) by offering and accepting love and help, through transactional activities.

The Nonconscious mind reflects any mental processes that go on that an individual is unaware of; they are not thought about consciously. Nonconscious processes are not unconscious processes.

The difference between the unconscious and nonconscious mind is that the unconscious is a part of the mind that is not accessible to the conscious mind; it lies outside of conscious awareness but affects feelings and emotions. However, individuals are mostly unaware of the plethora of nonconscious thought processes that are going on at any moment.

Definition of Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium

 © yourspiritualquest.com - Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart
© yourspiritualquest.com – Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart

Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements such as strong feelings of love and intense emotions of fear that are either static (as in a mind acted on by forces whose resultant is zero – by being in a state from selfish to selfless and from fearful to fearless or self-love) or dynamic as action-reaction forces (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal).

Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of intellectual or emotional balance due to the equal action of opposing pairs of forces such as spiritual or intellectual-emotional, and psychological-physicalThe sum of life-preserving instincts that are manifested as impulses to gratify basic needs, sublimated impulses, and impulses to protect and preserve the body and mind — compare death instinct.

To grow spiritually, you must have equilibrium within. Spirit leads to your spiritual body and then to the emotional body through the soul.  Your soul finally leads to your psychological and then to the physical body. In this alignment, you operate in peace through spiritual and emotional love, psychological attraction, physical affection, and mental love as a pure child of bliss.

Similarly, when your soul overrides your spirit, spiritual-emotional equilibrium is disturbed within.  The soul becomes defensive, carnal, and controlling, and our pursuit of bliss is hindered.

The spirit is mind-driven and the soul is emotion-driven and even psychology and flesh-driven. When our soul is mainly carnally led, our spirit, misses its meaning and purpose in life, because our spirit is always pointed toward and exists exclusively for the divine love or love of mankind, whereas our soul can be mostly self-centered. The joy, comfort, and peace of bliss’s presence can only be experienced through our spirit. However, unredeemed, the soul can become a prison that holds back our maturity and spiritual growth.

The good news is, that we can each bring our souls to a place of rest. The spiritual-Emotional Equilibrium of spirit and soul comes when your soul is at rest and your spirit, which communicates with the soul, leads you forward towards the equilibrium point where Love-In-Love curves intersect.

Definition of Love – In-Love Equilibrium

© yourspiritualquest.com – Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart

The whole world is confused for a surprisingly modest-sounding reason: we don’t understand love, yet we are rather convinced that we do.

We write and talk a lot about love of course, but generally, we do not understand the deeper meanings of its existence in our life.

The whole universe is made up of energy and at that level, everything is vibrating or oscillating at a specific frequency the Resonant Frequency. What does the universe vibrate at? Listening to a sound at 432 Hz is especially pleasing to the ear, and is said to reduce stress and promote emotional stability by putting you in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”.

The whole Creation constitutes the center of devoted love, where men and women are created physically, spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally to live together in blissful love.

The love between a husband and a wife must be, among other things, a love affair. However, a marriage based solely on erotic love will fail. The emotion of sexual love diminishes and diminishes. Healthy marriages will have a mix of Agape, Storge, Eros, Philia (Touch), Platonic love (Pure Love), and Anidiotelis Agape (True Love).

A Gradual Shift from Desire and Empathy to Compassion and Care

  • The Law of Reverse Effect states: “The greater the conscious effort, the less the subconscious response” that is the harder one consciously tries to do something, the more difficult it is to succeed; or “Whenever the will (conscious mind) and imagination (unconscious mind) conflict, the imagination (unconscious mind) always wins.

The law of reverse effect creates resistance to get us moving. So how could we overcome these things? First, it might be your desire. Desire is strong energy and can cut through resistance like a sharp knife.

What is the true meaning of desire? Desire means to have a longing for. Some common synonyms of desire are coveted, crave, want, and wish. It stresses the strength of feeling and often implies a strong intention or aim. An expressed wish; Something desired; A desire to start a new life.

Empathy is our feeling of awareness toward other people’s emotions and an attempt to understand how they feel.

Studies suggest that empathy while well-intentioned isn’t neutral. It’s even suggested that it can sometimes hurt more than help our relationships and our ability to lead effectively.

Empathy can make us unconsciously more sympathetic towards individuals we relate to more. This makes us less likely to connect with people whose experiences don’t mirror ours.

The answer to the inadequacy of desire and empathy is motivation. Motivation is everything in life!

As we see it, at the dawn of a new era, there are two main emerging spiritual-emotional forces or factors behind any individual’s endeavor in society as a whole to create and sustain motivation: Compassion and Care.

Compassion is an emotional response to empathy or sympathy and creates a desire to help.

“Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”

Plato

  • Compassion (a motivating factor or positive affective stimulus based on psychological love) is an innate core ability for achieving someone’s goals by loving, helping, or supporting others that encourages someone to act towards the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and
  • Fear of abandonment or rejection (a negative affective stimulus based on the impact of the fear of love) is a response to the above ability by the fear of acting in an uncompassionate way by making sacrifices in return for the benefit offered that triggers emotional reactions of discouraging an individual from acting”.

What Are the Types or Stages of Love?

 

© yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Stages of Love and Fear

6 Types or Stages of Love – Ladder of Love

The word “love” is a flexible term in the English language. It has several different meanings. Six unique words in ancient Greek describe the range of meanings the English word love conveys.

The following ladder of love consists of Six Types or Stages of Spiritual-Emotional-Psychological-Physical and Spiritual-Mental Love that are defined as:

I. Agape: love of mankind, divine, spiritual love.
II. Storge: love of parents for children.
III. Eros: erotic, passionate love.
IV. Philia: love of friends and equals.
V. Platonic Eros or Agape: in touch, mental love; establish a rapport or relationship.
VI. Anidiotelis Agape: True Love: perfect romantic love between people with an aligned belief system and common interests based on the equilibrium of strong spiritual desires and deep emotional needs.
© yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Love

In Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, the playwright Aristophanes suggests that the origin of love lies in the desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half”.

Surprisingly he was right. Love in the ladder moves upward. In addition, even though all stages exist to some degree, Eros is the nowadays dominant type or stage behind any human endeavor (it is important to state here that the ladder of love and fear in this article is differentiated from the original and reflects the personal views of the writer).

Being in love (Eros) with someone is psychologically charged in a way that relates to the human mind and feelings. Specifically, when you’re in love with someone, you feel a strong, almost inexplicable desire for that person. To love someone is to have a strong feeling of closeness and care for someone.

Eros is about asking for love (demanding love) and involves a loss of control with intense anticipation and nervousness while loving someone is about offering love (supplying love) where you feel happy, secure, and at ease with your partner.

Over or excess demands for love create fear, worry, and anxiety with reverse effects on humanity’s mental and physical health in general. As a result, balance is lost and society struggles to find purpose and meaning in life.

However, a new strong potential emerges gradually over time. A potential shift from stage three to stage two. From Eros to Storge which takes a new meaning as part of another way or an upgraded path to the essence of love; blissful love.

But it does not happen easily and with no cost. The higher the steps, the more intellectual it is. To be able to climb the ladder, one must understand the previous steps thoroughly. It is designed to happen through stages, struggles, and lessons. Rewards are bigger though.

Anidiotelis Agape, Unconditional Love, Undistracted Love, and Philautia (Self-love) lay at the roots of the ladder of love. Every other form or stage of love is built upon these core foundational archetypes of love.

Agape as spiritual love lays at the top of the ladder as the beacon of the spiritual road to blissful love as the ultimate prize; the ultimate step for someone to conquer the knowledge of both the spiritual and emotional aspects of love; real and true love in unity; the uniqueness of love. The fulfillment of the desire to complete ourselves by finally finding the long-lost “other half” that is sensed and experienced as Selfless Love.

History and Origin

  • Agape: (Divine or Spiritual love borrowed from Greek agape – agan=much and pa=protection); is defined as self-sacrificing human or personal love often conditional, or limited in nature. It is the love that focuses on the will, not the emotions, experiences, or libido based on aspects and conditions of possessive, demand, or expectation; divine or infinite spiritual love.
  • Storge: (Emotional love) Storge refers to natural, family love. Storge refers to the kind of love a parent shows for a child.
  • Eros: (Psychological love) Eros is the word often used to express the sexual love or arousal feelings shared by people who are physically attracted to each other; Definition of Eros: In Greek mythologyErosAncient Greek: Ἔρως, ‘Desire’ is the Greek god of love, sexual desire, and physical love. The Romans called him Cupid, and he was thought to be the son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.
  • Philia: (Physical love) Philia refers to brotherly love and is most often exhibited in a close friendship.
  • Platonic Eros or Mental Love: (Pure love) In TouchEstablish communication with someone. Involves deep affection, but no romantic or sexual attraction.
  • Anidiotelis Agape or True Love:  True love means that you have an unwavering, unbreakable, and unparalleled fondness and devotion for another;
  • Selfless love: is also defined by an immeasurably deep spiritual-emotional unity of spirit and soul into the wholeness of the Higher self through self-love in a happy, passionate, and fulfilling relationship.

I. Agape – Spiritual Love

Definition of Love, Selfish, Selfless, True Love

Agape constitutes the ultimate spiritual goal and the end of human existence as a biological entity by finally finding the long-lost “other half” and turning into wholeness!

According to Aristophanes in Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, at the beginning of time, all people were hermaphrodites with double backs and sides, four arms and four legs, and two faces turned in opposite directions on the same head. Zeus had to cut them in two, male and female – and from that day on, each of us longed to be reunited in the place from which he was cut off.

What does selfishness in love mean? Selfish Love is focused on getting what one can gain from their partner and the relationship. True Love is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment. True love is gifted with foresight and knows that love evokes love.

Contrary to what we like to say and believe, the feeling of love doesn’t occur in our hearts, at least scientifically. Instead, it happens in our brain when we release hormones (oxytocin, dopamine, adrenaline, testosterone, estrogen, and vasopressin) that create a mix of feelings: euphoria, pleasure, or bonding. However fearless, or selfless love fills and occupies the heart.

We want others to live up to our expectations right now. Excessive wants can limit our happiness. But true love means giving people time to mature and grow, to go wrong, to wander in another direction, and to give them every opportunity to grow, at their own pace.

A genuinely healthy relationship based on pure emotions and feelings is a relationship that is not dominated by the ego by creating an image and searching for itself. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention to the person to whom there is absolutely no compulsion.

II. Storge – Emotional Love

Definition of Fear, Fearful and Fearless or Self-Love

Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others; the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of yourself (insight).

Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. A state marked by this emotion. Anxious concern: solicitude. A reason for alarmdanger.

Whenever we enter into a love relationship with someone love is based upon our emotions of fears. Love is also defined by fear. It’s the underlying groundwork of any relationship even if it seems shocking and difficult to admit.

Another part of the fear of love is the risk of not responding to that feeling. People fall in love together, gradually, after spending time together. But it does not always work that way. One falls in love with the other, but the other does not reciprocate the feelings. Thus, a person can resist the development of these feelings. Unreciprocated love is tragic and the possibility of a one-way love affair can cause fear and prevent a person from letting those feelings grow at all.

Of course, the scariest thing about love can be its loss. Although this is the most obvious, and perhaps the most common, fear of love, it is also the most self-destructive, because the person ends up avoiding love for fear of losing it.

Remember that fear, when used properly, is a valuable emotion that can alleviate our urges to rush into a new situation if we want it to work for us and not against us. Drawing on Aristotle and the Stoic philosophers, we must recognize that excessive fear will prevent you from trying anything new while very little fear will make you fall in love very easily, a lot, and quickly, resulting in probably more pain in the long run. Ideally, fear should be used in conjunction with logic to decide if that danger is worth it.

Even prudence can go a long way because we do not want to be fooled, but neither should we be careful to the extent that we avoid life. And if, as many believe, love is an essential or an integral part of the meaning of life, and something that makes life and not mere existence, then the wisest thing to do is to overcome your fears, reject your reservations, and pay attention only to love.

We should be almost done with romantic love now. We need to look at the challenge of this kind of love. However, it is not surprising that we are still just at the beginning, just starting on the road to being human.

What’s Philophobia?

Philophobia is a fear of falling in love. It can also be a fear of entering into a relationship or a fear that you will not be able to maintain a relationship. Many people experience a slight fear of falling in love at some point in their lives. But in extreme cases, philophobia can make people feel isolated and unloved.

Philophobia is not a condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor because it is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, it can affect someone’s mental health negatively.

Potential Causes of Philophobia

The fear of falling in love has many potential causes, including:

Fear of losing identity

Fear of losing identity due to past experiences. Traumatic relationships of the past can contribute to the development of the fear of falling in love. Infidelity, betrayal, or frustration can make you stay away from romantic relationships. Other types of relationships can also cause fear, such as parental relationships and close friendships.

Fear of losing purpose and meaning

Fear of losing purpose and meaning due to cultural experiences. In some cultures, there is more pressure to marry at a young age under certain conditions. If one does not want to have this traditional experience, it can lead to philophobia.

Fear of abandonment or rejection

Fear of abandonment or rejection. Putting yourself out there can be scary. Studies show that rejection can have similar effects on the body as physical pain. Most people can overcome rejection, but if you have experienced enough painful rejections, the fear of another may stay with you.

III. Eros – Psychological or Unconditional Love

Eros – Love Significance

Unconditional love is to love others and ourselves much more authentically and generouslyis an active choice to continue loving with no expectations or rewards. It serves a higher purpose (purposeful). Loving someone unconditionally may produce positive feelings. However, humanity has long been fascinated by the conflict between our noblest ideals and the most urgent and exciting demands of our sexual nature.

Sexual excitement is psychological. It’s not so much what our bodies happen to be doing that turns us on. It’s what’s happening in our brains. Acceptance is at the center of collective experiences and feels physical – the blood pumps faster, the metabolism shifts gear and the skin gets hot – but behind all this lies a sense of an end to our isolation.

We can only start to understand the role of sexuality in love if we can accept that it is not necessarily a uniquely pleasant experience in and of itself. Nevertheless, sex with our lover can be one of the nicest things we ever do.

The reason is that sex delivers a major psychological thrill. The pleasure we experience has its origin in an idea: that of being allowed to do a very private thing to and with another person. The mutual permission involved in sex is dramatic and large. We’re implicitly saying to another person that we have granted them an extraordinary privilege.

Authenticity

The person who loves us sexually does something properly redemptive. They stop making a distinction between the different sides of who we are. They can see that we are the same person all the time. That our gentleness or dignity in some situations isn’t fake. Through sexual love, we have the chance to solve one of the deepest, problems of human nature which is how to be accepted for who we are.

In general, at least Western culture requires us to present rigorously crafted versions of ourselves to others. It asks us to be cleaner, purer, and more polite versions of what we might otherwise be. Demand has quite high internal costs. Important aspects of our character are pushed into the shadows.

Compassion

At times it may feel frustrating, but it’s pretty empowering to accept the fact that the only person we have any true control over in a relationship is ourselves. Therefore, we can choose whether to engage in behaviors that are destructive to intimacy or authenticity to take actions that express feelings of love, compassion, affection, respect, and kindness.

To forgive is to know that we are, in our way, as guilty as others. But that is no reason forever to withhold love. We learn to forgive when we’re brave enough to explore the darker sides of our hearts.

Self-esteem

Some people believe that they do not deserve to be desired by someone else. And even though they are attracted to someone and the feeling is mutual, they cannot let themselves express themselves. The reasons why people have such sad thoughts can be many. It is not uncommon to have a false self-image or low self-esteem. Sometimes they also had negative experiences with an ex-partner who held them down and made them feel unloved or rejected.

Empathy

Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness. Love it’s about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction. To love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations. One day, we will all require the charity of others. In one way or another, we will need people to look past our evident failings.

IV. Philia – Physical or Undistracted Love (not carnal)

Undistracted love means learning to capture the deeper spiritual meaning as a responsible answer (meaningful) by receiving unconditional love as your higher purpose in life. Receiving unconditional love can also make a difference in emotional well-being.

Honesty

We love people who promise that they will in some way help to make us whole. At the center of our feelings, there is gratitude for having found someone who seems to complement our qualities and dispositions. It is really important to make us feel appreciated and accepted as we are and not to pretend to be what others want us to be.

To love means being loyal to people with steadfastness and an unbudgeable resilient faith. Friendliness is a quality of openness and warmth that makes you feel welcome and at ease.

Care

One way to get a sense of why love should matter so much is to look at the challenges of loneliness. The pains of loneliness are an embarrassing and universal possibility. We shouldn’t feel lonely. Unwittingly, loneliness gives us the most eloquent insights into why love should matter so much.

In addition, when we are alone, people may well strive to show us care or kindness. There may be invitations and touching gestures, but it will be hard to escape from a background sense of the conditionality of the interest and care on offer.

Respect

One of the more surprising and at one level perplexing aspects of love is that we don’t merely wish to admire and respect other people. We are also powerfully drawn to want to attract them (friendly and not sexually). The birth of physical love is normally signaled by what is in reality a hugely weird act; two different people feel mutually attracted just to be friends and nothing more. Communication, mutual respect, and understanding become essential to creating and maintaining this kind of platonic relationship.

Fairness

Often, even in a platonic type relationship, we love at least in part in the hope of being helped and redeemed by others becoming through their help better versions of ourselves. Love contains just below the surface a hope for personal redemption: a solution to certain blocks and confusion. We shouldn’t expect to get there all by ourselves. Love promises to educate us in a very different way. Through other people, our development can start in a far more welcoming and energizing way with deep excitement and desire.

V. In Touch – Platonic or Pure Love (no Romantic or Sexual Attraction)

Platonic love is a type of love that is not sexual or romantic. The idea of platonic love has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy. The word “platonic” comes from the famous philosopher, writer, and speaker Plato, who outlined specific categories of love in his famous work “Symposium.” Though the philosopher never used the term himself.

Platonic love happens when two people have a special bond where they deeply care for and respect each other, and share similar interests and values, but they don’t pursue things romantically.

There will be a deep, often unconditional, pure love. Platonic love is what we feel when there is trust, safety, and validation in a close relationship. It’s the sense of feeling good and cared for in a relationship.

Plato believed that love is the motivation that leads one to try to know and contemplate beauty in itself through a gradual process that begins with an appreciation of the appearance of physical beauty and then moves on to an appreciation of spiritual beauty.

Platonic Love; Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium

For Plato, love is not in itself an end, but only a means to achieve the supreme concept of beauty. The first step is physical; the senses unleash eros (the love that enters through the senses and compels one to approach someone). In this stage, love is still physical.

Plato does not reject the physical dimension of love, to reach the supreme concept of beauty which is actually to reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else just because it apprehends the form of beauty, in a kind of vision that raises happiness.

The deeper meaning of platonic love: “is the spiritual love that enters through the eyes and compels one to approach someone (or something) as a ladder in which love climbs up a series of steps to reach the peak of a supreme idea (spiritual-mental equilibrium) that is a passionate, pure, and disinterested knowledge of the essence of the beauty of love”.

Characteristics of platonic relationships include:

  • Respect
  • Love
  • Admiration 
  • Loyalty
  • Honesty
  • Bonding over shared interests and beliefs

VI. Anidiotelis Agape – True love

Anidiotelis Agape (true love) is at the root of the ladder and constitutes the essence of love.  Love for love itself; An individual sees the beauty in its form and loves the beauty of love as it is. Every particular beautiful thing is beautiful because of its connection to this form.

Agape is the supreme concept of beauty

Agape (spiritual love) is at the top of the love ladder mentioned above as the supreme concept of beauty that also describes the concept of the essence of the state of Bliss Equilibrium in the best possible way.

This is a delicate state of spirit and soul unifying through the heart, throughout the various stages of love, towards the ultimate goal of Bliss Equilibrium; a constant search for the knowledge on how to learn to gradually appreciate the essence and the glory of the nature of higher-self through self-love (philautia – a Greek word that means: to make friends with yourself – raising self-esteem) and its ultimate unity with spirit and the whole creation through true love (into wholeness).

Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is where the spirit through the heart identifies and appreciates its spiritual-emotional-psychological and physical unity with the soul into wholeness through Self-awareness (the ultimate common space of Self-reflection, Self-inspection, Self-introspection, and Self-recognition).

  • Self-awareness: is the experience of one’s personality or individuality; is how an individual consciously knows and understands their character, behavior, feelings, motives, desires, and needs. 
  • Self-reflection: refers to giving thought to one’s character and behavior; a reflective looking inward: is an examination of one’s thoughts and feelings.
  • Self-inspection: is the process that relies on the observation of one’s mental state; is the experience of one’s personality or character and motives.
  • Self-introspection: the ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.
  • Self-recognition: knowledge and understanding of one’s nature or character; insight into one’s personality.

Mind – Soul – Spirit – Body connection through the heart; the heart is the intersection point of spiritual-emotional, psychological-physical, and spiritual-mental axes.

The steps toward dynamic blissful love equilibrium

  • Spiritual love is offering love to self and others that derive from the spirit and emotional love is accepting love from self and others that comes from the soul; they both meet at the spiritual-emotional love equilibrium point (1).
  • Unconditional and Undistracted love both come from the mind and body; They reflect life’s purpose and meaning aiming at well-being and mental health through the right mentality and the appropriate behavior of an individual: they both meet at the psychological-physical love equilibrium point (2).
  • Dynamic blissful love equilibrium comes through the meeting of the equilibrium points (1) and (2) at the spiritual-mental love equilibrium point (3).

The adjustment of their alignment is manifested through the love-in-love equilibrium point by giving and receiving love and help and is felt right there in the center of the heart where the three love equilibrium points coincide into wholeness as great happiness, joy, contentment, fulfillment, and bliss.

A great shift in consciousness – Happiness vs. Fulfillment

Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim, and end of human existence.”

What is the real meaning of happiness? Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, and satisfaction. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Real happiness comes from within; inner peace greatly comes from having love and compassion in life.

To distinguish between these two meanings, we use “utility” as usefulness in love to refer to the greatest good for an individual (from his/her point of view) that receives from consuming “a good” and “happiness” to refer to the opposite positive feeling of enjoying a good or meaning.

“Benefit” is helpfulness in love Besides the physical health benefits, being in love works wonders for mental health as well. Love, marriage, and overall well-being reduce stress, which also strengthens the immune system. It provides purpose, contentment, and fulfillment in life.

However, the spiritual love-in-love equilibrium points toward blissful love equilibrium by giving and receiving love constitutes a great shift in human consciousness into a new paradigm:

From usefulness to helpfulness and then to powerfulness. From purpose and meaning of life to possession of controlling influence among all the loving souls of the society as a whole. A lift (an upliftment) from self-esteem (u’) to compassion (u”) as core abilities as a reaction (actualities perceived as effects) deriving from an opposite shift as an action (certainties considered as causes) from respect (w) to care (w’) as a response to those abilities (Response-to-Abilities). The end result is a gradual upliftment from love equilibrium (e’) to dynamic blissful love equilibrium (e”).

How is Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium Sustained?

Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium

Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium comes with a deep understanding of the gain and loss that exists from a spiritual point of view. The rules that apply to spiritual gain and loss are hardly the same as those viewed from a carnal perspective. Sustaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium requires us to understand how the principles of this nature apply to our everyday lives.

Spiritual-emotional love equilibrium allows us to understand spiritual wisdom and love toward us. If reasoned carnally it doesn’t make any logical sense. It is also a means by which we know there is a reward reserved for us despite the long-suffering we may face in life. The following instances described below help us understand in more depth how spiritual-emotional love equilibrium is sustained:

Maintaining spiritual cleanliness

Spiritual cleanliness looks at what is in our hearts and spirits. If we possess a clean heart and a spirit then we are rewarded. Equilibrium is maintained in spiritual cleanliness by the mere fact that we cannot die from the physical. Equilibrium is also maintained here by the fact that our true death is not by the loss of life but by the loss of our soul. Death is not the fear of spiritual cleanliness but a chance for a change in a higher realm of existence.

Seeking righteousness

This means acting in accord with the personal belief systems, values, or morals free from guilt. Seeking “Righteousness” implies trying to reach a state of moral integrity and honesty; it is not self-righteousness, judging oneself by one’s standards.

Looking beneath the surface

To love with imagination is to look beneath the surface and picture the suffering and pain that got you to this place. To love with imagination is to put yourself in the place of others and understand why they are behaving as they do. Imaginative love knows that we are all, somewhere, desperate therefore it seeks out the source of that desperation and treats it with sorrowful gentleness.

Operating with a degree of politeness

We must operate with a degree of politeness too. A radical change of our true selves is the price we must pay for conviviality. We have to accept too that much of who we are won’t readily be understood. Some of our deepest concerns will be met with blank incomprehension, boredom, or fear. Most people won’t care at all and our deeper thoughts will get no interest.

Spotting personal inadequacies

We do not all fall in love with the same people because we are not all missing the same things. The aspects we find desirable in our partners speak of what we admire but do not have secure possession of in ourselves. We may be powerfully drawn to the competent person because we know how our own lives are held up by a lack of confidence and because it suggests the balancing quality to our own excessively compliant view of the world. Our inadequacies explain the direction of our tastes and choices.

Working within yourself

The good news is that yes, you can beat fear. But you have to be willing to work with yourself and remove the blocks in your mind. Most fears are related to negative experiences from your past. If you have frustrations If you have experienced injuries or shocking experiences in previous relationships, you need to deal with them in the first step to experience new love in the second step. To do this, it may sometimes be helpful to have a life coach or psychologist involved.

Learning to love yourself

Realize that you are unique and wonderful – just as you are here, right now. You are perfect this second and no matter what you do, think, or feel, you will always be precious and lovable. In addition, you should avoid dealing with people who tell you otherwise. Anyone who says that you are not worthy of receiving love should no longer be in the close circle of your friends or acquaintances. Because you deserve it!

Living from your heart

Do you live each day as you wish from your heart? Or do invisible forces seem to be preventing you from achieving your goals? And do you often encounter difficulties with your fellow human beings who always show the same patterns?

Learning to love unconditionally

There’s a reason people have been studying human emotion for centuries. However, it can seem like a pretty complicated topic. But if we boil it down to the basics—to love and fear of love—then we realize what living in a state of love can do for our lives, and we can start to unravel the mysteries of human thought and emotion, to create a better life for ourselves.

But, how can we develop the optimism and positivity that love requires?

  • Start with the end in mind. What does a loving version of you look like? Try to ask yourself: What would you do if you were not afraid? Revealing the answer to this question can help you discover strong motivation.
  • Be aware of your fear. What scary thoughts are you having right now? How often do you have them? Are they triggered by something specific? Understanding your fears will only help you as you work to dispel them.
  • Plan your thoughts. Your thoughts have power. Fear of love comes from your thoughts. If you can help yourself, think of thoughts that bring you to a state of love, you will find yourself in that place.
  • Use positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are an excellent tool for anyone trying to think more positively about themselves or the world around them. If you want to know more about writing effective positive affirmations for yourself, read this.

In Conclusion

Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about and especially spiritual love because it hasn’t been fully experienced yet; Spiritual love is a divine inheritance, a spiritual gift as a benefita good – the greatest good, through the ladder of love

Loving someone or something (as opposing to the ladder of love that is the ladder of the fear of love is its utility – enjoying the greatest good) is given to humanity for a very special reason; to develop discernment and stamina; to allow humans to get to know reality in all its aspects, such as love, fear, life, living experiences, success, happiness, satisfaction, and contentment, by exercising the sacred right of free will.

Chance and choice interact with each other through a free will as they both form the ability to act at one’s discretion; through free will, chances turn to certainties as simple coincidences and choices turn to meaningful coincidences and then to actualities or experiences due to mental phenomenon based on the equity and synchronicity principles; the more strongly people believe in this phenomenon the higher they rate their ability to make decisions freely; the more satisfied they become with their decisions.

In this case, more and more chances of making the right choices turn to coincidences and then to meaningful coincidences and then to experiences and they work more like inhered human rightor privileges rather than a leap of faith for someone to feel a complete sense of freedom by constantly striving for inner peace or balance through free will.

After the collective upliftment of human consciousness, chance, choice, and free will become more of an inborn right itself; the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the right timing to get to know spiritual love and enjoy its greatest good; by becoming spiritually awake; taking charge of destiny; finding the long-lost “other half”, and finally becoming complete at the final step on the top of the ladder of love as the ultimate destination and end cause.

Finally, life as reality is a state of consciousness (intellectual and behavioral characteristics, problem analysis, data analysis, and Judgment) having substance and experiencing existence.

Consciousness is a cognitive or behavioral system that is mainly based on the:

  • duality principle through critical thinking (combining cognitive, and emotional intelligence into a whole – of the opposing forces as chance, and choice),
  • equivalence principle (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of ability as an equalizing factor) through analytical thinking (analytical intelligence, objective thinking filtering and assessing relevant information and interpreting chances as being equal in value, worth, or function),
  • equality principle through synthetic thinking (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of response-to-ability or responsibility as an equalizing factor) through synthetic intelligence, subjective-objective, and reasonable justification of equating choices as being equal in status, rights, or opportunities),
  • The equity principle reflects the basic principle of the golden mean striving for inner peace as the balance between two extremes through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the resonance principle of balancing chances as coincidences having substance and choices as meaningful coincidences (causes or events) and then experiences (effects or a sequence of events) through action-reaction forces and free will (nonconscious intelligence)
  • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause due to the resonance principle by relating the causally unrelated events (yet have some other unknown connection); through this principle, causes as coincidences turn to events or fate, and experiences as effects turn into a sequel of events or destiny (causal intelligence, Cause = Effect = Actual Solution)
  • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for achieving and maintaining inner peace attained by the causality principle – as the balance between two extremes – by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

Duality means the quality or state of having two different forces (divine masculine and divine feminine energies) or elements of love (through the ladder of love) and loving someone or something (through the ladder of fear of love) to create a spiritual-emotional closeness. That is to motivate people to work to stay consciously in a place of love rather than in a place of fear.

However, fear itself is not a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much someone cares. Scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

Duality is woven into the very fabric of life for a reason: to teach people that every aspect of life is created through a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces or elements of love and fear (of love) and how to elevate the ladder of love as chances of success in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love as chances of experiencing success through choices and the exertion of action-reaction forces and free will.

The duality principle is a state of the combination of two opposing or competing concepts or groups such as feelings and emotions, spirit and soul, spirituality and carnality, self and others, and chances and choices through the critical way of thinking.

According to the duality principle love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos as an inborn right or chance) is an active force (divine masculine energy) a positive affective stimulus that triggers joy and pleasure as a chance or a cause for change

Fear of love (asking for experiencing spiritual love to the maximum degree as a choice through free will) is a reactive force to joy and pleasure (divine feminine energy) a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure to resist or sustain change.

The Equivalence Principle equates an emotion to a feeling as opposite or antagonistic forces through the analytical way of thinking by equating a subjective qualitative measure of love (as a condition) to possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies; treats equally love as a virtue, and through purpose (as intention or an actualization force), turns it into a cause (a provable solution).

The Equality Principle treats fear of love as a moral, which through meaning (as something meant as a reaction to an action, or intended), and turns it into an effect (an actual result deriving from a response-to-ability as an equalizing factor) by subjectiveobjective problem and data analysis, and reasonable justification. In this way, a new common equilibrium point is attained.

According to the Equity Principle feelings and emotions are balanced gaining both timing and momentum after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship where they finally form the actual solution as a single event deriving from a single meeting point of:

  • the ability to exercise choice through action-reaction forces and free will as a human’s birthright or privilege.
  • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love and help) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love or help) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
  • to be free to accept love and offer help from/to others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
  • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
  • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love and help to others (supply or offer love and help as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
  • to be response-able for returning the love and help as a reward for the love and help you receive from others (demand love or help in return for the love or help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
  • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
  • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

Inner peace means finding your peace of mind by attaining happiness, contentment, and bliss no matter how difficult things get in your life; it reflects the equilibrium point of self-visualization – self conceptualization (action-reaction)self-inspection – self-introspection (ability-responsibility) and self-actualization – self-imagination (cause-effect) by following the basic principle of the golden mean.

According to the equity principle, attaining or achieving inner peace or balance is only possible through the spirit-soul-mind-body connection through the intersection equilibrium point of the spiritual-emotional-mental-physical axes at the center of the heart by balancing chance and choice through action-reaction forces and free will (where – to be – as a cause, timing or space coincides with – to exist – as an effect, momentum or time, with – meant to be – forming an actual solution as space-time or the present moment).

According to the causality principle, all real events necessarily have a cause; by perceiving the actual solution either as a single event (conceived by consciousness as life, meaning, event, or fate) or as an ongoing process, a sequence of circumstances or events (conceived by consciousness as a living experience, a coherent reality, purpose or destiny) where always by default cause equates with effect.

The innate desire to complete ourselves is fulfilled by loving and helping others until finding the long-lost “other half” (as Plato suggests) as a mechanism on the road to blissful love that reflects the supreme concept of beauty as the ultimate prize, that is the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) through constant empowerment and upliftment of human consciousness maintained by the synchronicity principle.

The constant adjustment of their alignment through the above mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance between two extremes is attained by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium) through the love-in-love equilibrium point of the love-in-love curves as balancing factors.

Real-Life Examples & Remarks


Ps. In order to better comprehend the important concepts of this significant topic here is an example:
THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE IN PRACTICE
Just imagine a sailing boat where love is the wind that blows. Loving someone or something through the fear of love is its sails. The equilibrium point is the imaginary alignment of the angle of the craft, the sails, and the rudder as the touching point with the surface of the water so as to push the sailing boat forward.
Resilience is the character, quality, and endurance of the craft against unexpected weather conditions and the fury of the waves of the sea.
Behavior is the compass that always points toward the dynamic blissful equilibrium of love as the port of the ultimate destination.
The skills of the captain in order to keep the craft on the right track are also equally important to the choice of the appropriate path, the experience of the adventure of the trip, and the final destination.
It is easier though for the captain to try paths with calm waters and not to go against the wind.
However, without wind and sails, the craft doesn't move at all. This is the central idea and the significant point that we have to keep in mind:
No love means no wind and no change; no fear means no sailing no 
choice and no movement; that further means no port and no tranquility; no purpose and no meaning of life; a missed opportunity to find the port of the blissful equilibrium of love in this lifetime.
But there is no reason to worry. A missed opportunity is not a lost cause but a chance for spiritual upliftment on the ladder of love until the next momentum for movement arrives.
According to Plato the ultimate destination of humanity is the knowledge of the essence of beauty and not the love itself. That is to apprehend the form of beauty in a kind of vision.
Visualization is a picture of the mind. Conceptualization is the formation of an idea. Imagination is a mental faculty and is beyond conceivable. In this sense, the essence of the beauty of love is to acknowledge that conceptualization, visualization, and imagination all come together in order to become a whole; What we do not conceive with our senses is also another form of reality as long as we can imagine it as an idea in a form that we choose from. 
This is an elevated state of consciousness where we become able to overcome our doubts, worries, and fears and consciously sense the true, the real, and the authentic all at once; that is to finally apprehend the essence of the beauty of love in its all forms at once that's actually the beauty of the knowledge of the essence of love in all its forms. 
The beauty of the knowledge and acceptance of the essence of self and others with no distinction and judgment; by expressing freely our uniqueness, and the authenticity of ourselves, and by accepting with gratitude coincidences (the occurrence of events that seem to have no cause) as synchronicities (the coincidental occurrence of meaningful coincidences or events) in our life by understanding that everything happens for a reason; as omens of always being on the right path by being in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”. 
That is actually the whisper of spiritual love calling us to the top of the ladder of love; this is exactly where our earthly reality vibrates; at that level, we just have to learn how to be spiritually selfish that is to focus on ourselves during our spiritual awakening so that we can raise our vibration and finally become a conscious co-creator of our own earthly reality!
-------------------------------
Fate or Destiny?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FATE AND DESTINY
The term fate “moira” in Greek means "what has been said". Thus, fate is based on people's belief system that there is an order-uniformity in the universe that cannot be changed, no matter how hard we may try and struggle. 
Our ancient ancestors believed that the three deities (moirae) - Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos - or the three Fates, were the ones who decided the final course of human beings, not taking into account their will or their belief in something better than they themselves could bring about.
On a spiritual level, fate (moira) is the inevitable that always materializes (pre-determined to materialize, to be or to have substance) and will continue to materialize when we ignore our own life and do nothing to reconnect with our soul or true nature. 
When we abandon the course of our lives to fate, we are basically surrendering control of it to others, as well as to external situations. When we make no effort - nothing, that is, to consciously change and evolve, what happens is fatal (moireo). That is the "play" of fate.
Destiny “pepromeno” in Greek, on the other hand, denotes more positive associations than fate. In Latin, the word referring to destiny "destinare" means "that which is fixed". Although this definition also refers to the idea of pre-determined events, destiny is something we can shape and change if we will and commit ourselves (pre-destined to experience existence or to exist). 
On the opposite side of fate, there is that element of choice in destiny. Qualities such as courage, compassion, willpower, and patience can greatly assist in changing destiny.
Fate vs Destiny
Fate is what we are unable to change. Destiny, on the other hand, is that which we plan and intend to do so that we do not surrender to the randomness of fate. While fate, on the one hand, is precisely what happens when we do not take responsibility for life, destiny, on the other hand, is nothing more than what happens when there is the necessary commitment to further growth - that is, to have the will to take risks (through choice and free will). 
The well-known popular saying "...it is in your destiny to succeed" is only achieved through active and conscious commitments and decisions, with patience, perseverance, continuity, and consistency. As it is now understood, fate is what materializes when the course of life is left to others, who, along with the external circumstances they are subjected to, direct and determine the course and outcome of life.
It is extremely important to never doubt or forget that there are infinite possibilities in life. Fulfilling destiny means consciously redirecting the flow of our lives always in the specific direction we desire. 
While subjectively this means having and maintaining control and choice, such a thing does not objectively exist-such a thing as control or choice because the concept of "I" and "others" do not exist except in the mind.
So in this way, the answer to "we have control over our lives" is paradoxical, because we both have and do not have control over the course of our lives. It's a bit more complicated than that. 
How is Destiny Fulfilled?
I think it is time to look at how destiny is fulfilled. As long as it is consciously sought to be deciphered, developed, and evolved into a spiritual one, that is to consciously realize that destiny is somehow self-fulfilled (meant to experience existence or simply meant to exist).
While we are still operating at the level of ourselves, that is, our personality, our character, and our behavior, it is extremely important that we work so that we can take charge of our destiny. 
On spiritual paths, destiny is closely tied to the overall course of life, all the way to the end. When taking responsibility for life is chosen, destiny is also actively shaped, rather than simply leaving life to its fate. 
Fulfilling destiny involves the conscious development of a relationship with the deeper inner self and maturation on a spiritual-intellectual, emotional, mental, and physical level.
However, if there is a will (determination) to achieve it to the fullest extent possible, there is a way: We understand and deal with ourselves. We start now to reflect on our fate of who/what we are, that is to consciously understand where and how we are going through spiritual awakening keeping always in mind, that the course of our life is somehow self-actualized or self-realized (meant also to have substance and not simply meant to be).
Are Fate and Destiny Forces?
Destiny is actually the reflection of fate. Fate and destiny are interaction forces; a balanced interaction towards a new situation or occurrence in which two or more objects or events as a cause act upon one another to produce a new effect by providing and accepting love and help.
Therefore, fate furthermore as a cause reflects feelings, actions, truths, virtues, purpose, timing, character, possibilities, spiritual love, space, abilities, intent, certainties, and self-realization.
Destiny as an effect reflects emotions, reactions, values, morals, momentum, meaning, behavior, time, probabilities, fear of love, actualities, and self-fulfillment.
That further means that there are no real distinct boundaries between fate and destiny, past and future, cause and effect, chance and choice as they all constitute parts of the same procedure or the mechanism of how consciousness works through free will.
In reality, consciousness always evolves by living consciously in the present moment (neither in the past nor in the future) where everything materializes, happens, or co-exists (always meant to have purpose and meaning) as they both form and reflect the actual solutions to any problems, desires or challenges that someone can face in life through free will.
Fate as a Choice, Faith or Right?
Therefore, in order to complete ourselves is to finally know, and sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence as an inhered right or life's purpose (through the ladder of love) and to experience spiritual love (through the ladder of fear of love) as life's meaning through action-reaction forces and free will as well, both at the same time and to the same density or degree. Purpose and meaning of life form together the actual solution that reflects both the intended materialization and the ultimate fulfillment of a deep need or desire as an inborn right or privilege rather than a forced by life's circumstances choice or even as a leap of faith. In this way, things will set right with no more drama, pain, or misfortune in line with personal virtues (by exploiting purposefully the best or strongest abilities) and thus experiencing existence according to the collective morals (as a meaningful response to own abilities) in a way as they were always meant to be. That further means to live and exist where the authentic or pure meaning of life through destiny reflects the intended fate as the true personal potential and not as a simple choice based on a leap of faith. In this way fate as spiritual in heritage and destiny as a conquest act upon one another (fate as a purpose of life sets coincidences as destiny and destiny in turn as a meaning of living as synchronicities determines fate) to produce a new effect as interaction forces through free will: by giving space to an ongoing spiritual evolution through the present moment as an absolute solution, by finding finally the long lost "other half" where the ultimate bliss resides, by sensing or knowing of divine Kallos both as a spiritual love, inheritance or spiritual gift (by exploiting the best abilities) and by finally experiencing spiritual love as a prize or conquest (by exercising the best abilities to the fullest). --------------------------------- What is the golden mean Nicomachean Ethics? THE GOLDEN MEAN IN ARISTOTLE'S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS The golden mean or golden middle way is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency; it is an age old principle which holds that virtue lies between the extremes. According to the principle, each moral virtue is a mean or lies between extremes of pleasure or of action -- doing or feeling too much or too little. The absolute mean is different from the mean as it is relative to the individual. It appeared in Greek thought at least as early as the Delphic maxim "nothing in excess", was discussed in Plato's Philebus. Aristotle analyzed the golden mean in the Nicomachean Ethics Book II: That virtues of character can be described as means. It was subsequently emphasized in Aristotelian virtue ethics. For example, in the Aristotelian view, courage is a virtue, but if taken to excess would manifest as rashness, and, in deficiency, cowardice (see the table below: Sphere Of Action Or Feeling, Excess, Mean, Deficiency). The Writer's Point of View: According to the writer's point of view the ultimate purpose and meaning of life for humanity is to finally reach and maintain this desirable middle of golden mean as an equilibrium point of a spiritual mental state of pure bliss by consciously offering help (not giving) and start accepting (not receiving) love through a transactional activity and not by exchanging love to help (an act by giving love and receiving help in return).

The term transaction comes from traditional economic science and refers to the transactional activity between two or more persons. Transactional activity is an agreement between parties to exchange goods, services or monetary consideration (or different goods in the original transactional society which has now been abolished) to meet the needs of both parties. At the equilibrium point that is the center of everything there is an infinite wellspring of creativity and love (The Golden Mean Flow Chart). One fundamental purpose of human life is to cut through all the layers of the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) as levels of challenges by levering the most efficient character facets while exploiting the most efficient to each and every case behavioral tactics, and to uncover this wellspring within yourself, then let it flow through you. You are a musical instrument, and the purpose of life is to allow the eternal Music of Being to play you, producing a unique song only you can produce by following the principle of golden mean mentioned above by consciously offering and accepting love and help (instead of simply or mechanically giving and receiving love and help). In this way love as your own energy comes back as pleasurable pure essence or music at the very core of your existence.

P.S. This article is much longer than a usual one. It is not by accident. It happens for a reason. As everything else in this world. The reason is simple. It’s a tiny honor to the Great Hymn of Love. “The silver lining”. 

Some scientists or gurus on the subject around the world insist lately that there is enough evidence that personality creates personal reality. This according to my humble opinion and because of my personal research is half correct and half wrong. This reflects exactly the play of duality. Every concept comes with its counterpart image, even ourselves.

Personality is basically a concept and an idea. Surprisingly the same happens with reality. It’s not only about sex male or female but it’s also about it. It has to do with those two opposing archetypal energies though. Divine masculine and feminine energies. It’s so confusing but so real. It happens for a very special reason. Doubt is the key to unlocking reality. To create and sustain reality.

Doubt reflects duality. Love and be afraid. But fear is actually the absence of love. So, what is the difference between those two phrases? None! The only difference is that they refer to a concept and an idea, one is the reflection of the other as an illusion. It’s actually misleading, a trick of consciousness, nothing less and nothing more. A dirty trick that is a key to unlocking the door to the theater of a reality show, but with purpose and meaning.

Personal reality reflects exactly your personality. Character is attitude and behavior is perspective. Sides of the same coin. Chance and choice. Fate and destiny. Love and fear. Truth and lie. Right and wrong. Day and night. White and black. Sun and moon. Original and imitation. Prototype and idol. The reality that you believe that you are in that you see and feel is nothing more than an optical illusion and its reflection both at the same time.

Reality is just a glimpse into the past and the future through the present moment, that is something much more than what you believe as a biological child of your parents and something much less than what you think as a spiritual child of the divine. Everything is one. Everything is connected. Children of love and romance. Of masculine and feminine divine energy. But life is neither in unity nor in division. The connecting link is always the present moment.

Life lies between concepts and ideas. Between the lines. Between chance and choice and cause and effect. Life is the causal effect. Personality does not coincide nor create reality. Reality is both an illusion and a reflection, as the two aspects of personality, within the prism of the present moment.

Fulfillment is a feeling of achievement that leads to happiness. Contentment is an emotion of completion as a state of satisfaction. Fulfillment reflects fullness. Lack of fulfillment leads to emptiness. Fullness and emptiness are relative terms.

Fullness declares space as momentum. Emptiness declares time as timing. Time is an illusion a simple idea. Space is a simple notion. Nothingness is their intersection point (space-time). It reflects whatever comes to creation acknowledged by our senses (pan) whenever there comes to existence perceived by our senses again (holon).

Living consciously into nothingness is the meeting point of the spirit and soul and the meaning of blissfulness is the ultimate prize of purpose and meaning of life. The present moment is nothing more than a moment into nothingness. A virtual play of the senses.

It’s not really what you feel and what you think, as many believe, but the attitude and behavior toward the facts, conditions, and situations. Therefore, nothing is created but neither is destroyed. Life and death are just sensations and illusions. However, nothing constitutes an objective reality. Just a lesson down on earth. An adventure in practice. An impression of reality.

As long as you live you actually exist between two worlds. One of the alive and one of the dead. But you are not part of none of those worlds either. You live and exist right there in between but you are not really consciously aware of it. And this is because of personality and consciousness.

So, there is no reason to worry. You cannot die but you can still live. And this happens because of the presence of personality. Cherish personality. Take care of it as something precious. As a divine present. But do not forget that you are not what your personality dictates. Personality is just the vehicle. You’re something much more and much greater. A personality is just an act in the theater of the divine.

You are a persona but not the person you think and believe you are. Keep in mind and accept your role with stoic behavior. Do not despair. Be optimistic. Which means to be realistic. Do not forget your origin but mostly your holy destination. Claim back your birthright, your earthy power as your divine mission. And above all always remember.

You are the silver lining!

  • What is Human Consciousness?

Love is the language of the universe. It is the source code written in a high-level (human-readable or felt) language, in order to communicate desires and needs through the mind and heart.                                          

Spiritual consciousness consists the system that works as a special program (compiler) that translates this source code into object code (manifestation) through human consciousness felt and perceived as peace and harmony, reflecting human personality as personal reality.

Human consciousness is the state of turning from a state or property of responsiveness (cognitive space government by action-reaction forces) into the following state or property of relativeness (physical space as causes and effects):


from a cognitive space (a state of responsiveness – the ability to respond efficiently to a stimulus external or internal as a choice to a chance) that is a set of concepts (logical thoughts based on feelings of love) and their responsiveness or relation with ideas (emotional reactions or feelings based on worry and fear) held by a human,


into a physical space by having substance and experiencing existence that is a state of awareness (a state of relativeness – the quality of being relative – as an effective response to ability or responsibility) a boundless three dimensions extent in which objects occur and have a relative position and direction.

Evolution of Spiritual Consciousness

Evolution enhancement or upliftment of spiritual consciousness or intelligence is the mental condition of the spiritual awareness of the existence of the mechanism itself (the recognition of that awareness as self-awareness by understanding the efficiency of own character, feelings, motives, and desires through self-observation),

by consciously witnessing and evaluating one turning responsiveness into relativeness or cognitive into physical space (through reflective awareness, or self-reflection as the ability to witness and evaluate the effectiveness of own cognitive, emotional, psychological, and behavioral processes through overt-observation),

on an always higher plane of experiencing existence, through a spiritual awakening that is to uncover the true meaning and purpose of life, by a constant strive for balance inner peace or harmony, as a loving equilibrium, through different levels of spiritual awareness:

  • by interpreting chance events as meaningful experiences through free will,
  • based always on the personal virtues and morals humanity values the most,
  • supported and maintained by giving and receiving love and help as a steering mechanism,

through the:

  • action-reaction forces
  • interaction forces of cause and effect (causality or causation),
  • cognitive interaction of serial love levels of the two main or primary types of love in steps or stages,
  • conscious-unconscious, preconscious-subconscious, and conscious-non-conscious minds,
  • based on cognitive intelligence (intellectual, emotional, analytical, synthetic, non-conscious, and causal intelligence).

Contract Terminology Glossary:

Status quo: Latin “existing state” the way are things now. Seeks to preserve the status quo. The cost (a concept reflecting the estimated worth) of maintaining the status quo. Reduce uncertainty and ensure feelings of security and belonging based on the beliefs we hold and the people we hang out with.

Change: Opposing actions that may change the state of affairs. Challenging the status quo. The cost (an idea expressing the value) of changing the status quo.

No change: shall be made to any agreed texts without the explicit agreement, at the appropriate level by the parties involved. No change, you can use it when explaining that something is unchanging. 

Conditional Statement:  The statement hypothesis (if) and conclusion (then) are defined to be true unless a true hypothesis (maintaining the status quo) leads to a false conclusion (change). A hypothesis is a possible logical answer to a scientific question, based on scientific knowledge; A conditional statement is false: if the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false. A conditional statement is true: if the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is true (no change).

Mutual agreement: when two or more parties or forces – represented as contracts – both agree to a settlement offer (that is just a proposal to resolve the case).

Conditions of a contract: An essential or fundamental term in a contract; is the requirement and one or more parties must comply.

An express condition is one that has been explicitly stated in a contract.

Conditions: mode or state of being; state of a situation with regards to external circumstances or influences. A clause in a contract or agreement.

In conditional love, love is “earned” on the basis of conscious or unconscious conditions being met by the lover, whereas in unconditional love, love is “given freely” to the loved one “no matter what”.

A conditional statement or contract is called a hypothetical contract; is a contract agreement that only requires performance once the delineated condition is met. A conditional contract is subject to one or more conditions in the contract.

Unconditional statement or contract: is one in which both parties are bound to proceed to settlement.

A representation agreement is a legal document that sets the terms of the relationship between two parties, with one acting on behalf of another.

A conditional promise is one where the liability to perform the promise depends upon something or a future event;

Qualifications: to act of qualifying or the condition of being qualified; the act of limiting; the state of being limited; modification. A conditional promise is one where the liability to perform the promise depends upon something or some future event.

Opposite in a contract: opposite of a treaty or agreement between two or more parties: disunity, disagreement, conflict.

Integrating Chinese with Western Philosophy:

The yin-yang approach views mental health as a process of finding a balance between the positive and negative forces in life. This stresses not only the importance of equilibrium but also the inherent interconnectedness of all things. Such beliefs play a central role in Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucianist philosophies.

According to the Yin Yang philosophy, all universal phenomena are shaped by the integration of two opposite cosmic energies, namely Yin and Yang. In Chinese philosophy, the union of yin and yang is a state of equilibrium.

Every being on this earth has a main purpose, a role in keeping the balance, the status quo. Therefore challenging the process or status quo must come from a sincere heart and a desire to see improvement; a desire to be right is the thirst for truth as the ultimate or optimum solution.   

Challenging the status quo means providing alternative ideas that challenge existing procedures so that you can improve and develop new solutions. To challenge the status quo, someone has to take a stand, not follow the crowd, do something meaningful, follow his/her gut, and be open to being vulnerable.

Yang can be understood as a directed active purpose or impulsion. This allows yin and yang to function as mutually necessitating and friendly elements, rather than as contraries.

The Yin Yang principle thus embodies duality, paradox, unity in diversity, change, and harmony, offering a holistic approach to problem-solving. Defining the problem is the same as creating the solution in the context of creative problem-solving and solution discovery. 

The trick to creative problem-solving is to get to the root of a problem before it even shows up. This requires virtues such as objectivity, clarity, and honesty because the solution to all problems is truth. Truth means your essence — the way something is before attitudes and opinions are added. 

A positive attitude can lead to a more creative approach to problem-solving and increase the likelihood of finding a successful solution. A positive attitude can help to increase motivation when approaching a problem by helping to identify the root cause of the problem and find a solution.

Why the Belief System is so Important?

Attitudes and Beliefs: Attitudes are dispositions to like or dislike objects, persons, institutions, or events (Ajzen, 2005). They influence behavior. Therefore, it is not surprising that attitudes are sometimes also synonymously referred to as beliefs.

A belief system is in part concerned with the existence or non-existence of conceptual entities; a set of codes or principles that helps people inform themselves of the world around them and make calculated or spontaneous decisions by taking a leap of faith.

A belief system comprises a set of mutually supportive beliefs (self-empowering and self-limiting beliefs). Self-empowering beliefs are conscious beliefs (senses reflecting worth as truths) and rational beliefs (morals, reflecting worth as truths based on values).

Self-limiting beliefs are unconscious beliefs (emotions of fears as unpleasant emotions or thoughts) and behavioral beliefs (illusions of insecurities as a state, by shaping and affecting behavior).

A self-empowering belief is a subjective attitude that a proposition is true or a state of affairs is the case; a state of affairs is a truth-maker, whereas a proposition is a truth-bearer – can be proven true or false through objective evidence.

A proposition through convergent thinking focuses on reaching a well-defined solution to a problem by using logic, while divergent thinking as a state of affairs is used to generate ideas by exploring many possible solutions (possible answers or hypotheses) using imagination (a hypothesis – an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true).

Beliefs are not true because they have a special relation with reality but because they satisfy some norms issued by us. Self-empowering beliefs reflect the external world and our responses to the internal world. Self-empowering beliefs give us power because they affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. They help us to take positive action and feel good about ourselves.

Beliefs are also based on trust, faith, or confidence (behavioral beliefs as illusions of insecurities – reflecting the Ladder of Fear of Love). Self-limiting beliefs reflect in turn the internal world by shaping our responses to the external world and the opportunities around us. Someone thinks of them, as they are the absolute truth and stops doing certain things.

Through consciousness, by action-reaction forces (love, in-love, or romantic love) truth-makers along with truth-bearers as self-empowering through self-limiting beliefs turn to moral truth and truth values, accordingly.

The fact as truth-value and moral-value distinction distinguish between what is the case (facts) and what people think ought to be the case (beliefs) based on values. An idea or explanation for something that is based on known facts but has not yet been provedThe line between facts and moral values is not always clear.

The proposition (fact as truth-value) tries to suggest a link between two concepts that can’t be tested scientifically. However, a hypothesis (the fact as a moral value) poses an idea that can be tested and measured (a testable statement that describes what the outcome of an investigation will be). Because of this difference, they can’t be directly converted.

Therefore, proposition and hypothesis as truth and moral-truth values are converted and weighted against each other indirectly, by being balanced ( having different parts or elements properly or effectively arranged, proportioned, regulated, and considered) tested, and measured, reflecting personality as a personal reality, perceived as causes and effects.

Why the Truth is so powerful?

Truth is so powerful because it is the only thing that cannot be bought no matter how wealthy you are. Truth is what we value because of its intrinsic qualities. Truth is the fundamental cognitive value. Reality gives rise to the truth.

Truth-value: The attribute assigned to a proposition in respect of its truth or falsehood, which in classical logic has only two possible values (true or false). The definition of a truth value is the attribute of a proposition as to whether the proposition is true or false (bipolar). 

Truth signifies epistemic approval while value signifies moral approval. Truth is a factual (value-free) property based on facts (conscious beliefs – in love or romantic love; an intense feeling for attachment, affection, and need through senses).

Moral truth: When a moral statement accurately corresponds to reality, it is called moral truth. Means a sense of something being right or wrong (unipolar). Moral truth reflects rational beliefs based on values (rational beliefs – love,  wants or dreams; dreaming of love is an empty feeling reflecting the Ladder of Love).

Morals are a person’s standards of beliefs concerning acceptable behavior (good or bad). Ethics are the set of moral principles that guide a person’s behavior.

Truth is at least partly a value. Truth is the set of things that are real and factual or those things that are accepted as true. Truth summarizes the norms of correct assertion of beliefs.

Truth as a vision (the Greek word “horama”)  has a full capacity for emotions as well as emotional growth. It means the ability to see or plan something for the future. It is an image that you want to create. Each vision usually has its own purpose. Vision is always a future-oriented program.

Truth as a goal is something that you would like to achieve for example, someone’s purpose to have a meaningful and rewarding career or life in general.

Truth as a dream is a state of being completely occupied by one’s own thoughts. It is also the thoughts and pictures in the mind that come mostly during sleep.

The main difference between dreams and visions is that the person seeing the vision is completely aware of their thoughts, but the dreams can be predictive and the person is not awake.

Truth as desire are strong feeling of wanting something that does not quite fit the category of basic emotions (needs). While a goal is a mere wish, desire is backed by action. Their fulfillment determines how successful you will be in life.

However, needs are deeply connected from our need for food and water to our need to feel love, confidence, and assurance (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs).

Truth is always there! Desire for truth removes all other desires and it itself dissolves and what remains is bliss.

The Contracting Process

The contracting process is a series of steps to follow to develop, negotiate, and execute the contract. It begins with the Higher self, acting as an intermediary, identifying key stakeholders and their roles throughout.

The Higher self in this case acts as a communicator between those two parties (yin and yang) when trying to bring about an agreement. Their activities in the role shouldn’t go beyond relaying messages between parties in relation to the opportunity.

Yang (in Chinese philosophy): is portrayed as positive, active, and masculine. It represents the energy of the sun. It is often described as energetic, expansive, and warm.

Yin: the passive female principle of the universe, characterized as female and sustaining and associated with earth, dark, and cold.

Yin and Yang:  These forces are complementary and present in all phenomena looking for balance as forces reflecting duality (the quality or condition of being dual) between change the former and the latter of stability; this balance may shift depending on what is needed at the given moment. 

While these forces oppose one another (opposing forces), it doesn’t mean that they are oppositional or in conflict; they coexist in balance as peace and harmony. They are both equal and dependent upon one another.

Balance: The constant state of flux between these forces helps create a balance (peace and harmony instead of duality or dichotomy):

  • peace: duality conveys to you that every aspect of life is created from a balanced interaction of opposite and competing powers (choosing peace as a better choice – a proposition so related to another that if either of the two is true the other is false and if either is false the other must be true); and
  • harmony instead of dichotomy, by accepting the proposition (as an expression of the mutually exclusive aspect of that dichotomy with seemingly contradictory qualities, logically opposite) while can benefit individuals, societies, and cultures (a positive state of inner peace, calmness, and balance, as well as the feeling of being tuned with the world).

Status quo vs change or no change: Status quo bias is a cognitive bias based on affection (a gentle feeling of fondness or liking). Change is an emotive reaction based on intimacy (a feeling of being close, emotionally connected, and supported based on worry and fear – fear of love or fear of being loved).

Change naturally invites risk, and people may be uncomfortable putting themselves in situations where the outcome is uncertain. This tendency to keep things the way they are can have a considerable effect on how people behave in virtually any aspect of life. Status quo and change are opposite.

However, the status quo and no change without agreement (by helping reduce uncertainty) are opposing. In this way, the verb – change – changes its form by changing direction turning to – no change – which agrees (coincides) with the verb – maintain – which turns to a noun as – maintenance (the act of providing basic and necessary support; the state of having such support).

Parties of The Contract (Presented as Types of Love)

“Deep down, at our cores, there are only two main types of love one as a core feeling (spiritual love) and one as a core feeling and emotion (emotional love) combined within the whole (divine love):

spiritual love as a main type of divine love or feeling (bid to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty to its highest degree or worth by exercising love as a force – containing divine masculine energy – through the ascending of the ladder of love as a mean of leverage that is an inborn human right, privilege or truth as a chance for exchanging use for experience – that is exchanging love as a feeling for help as an emotion), and

Emotional love is loving someone or something as both feeling (as a strong feeling of affection and concern) and emotion (falling in love) accompanied by sexual attraction (asking to experience spiritual love to its maximum value or potential through the opposing force – containing divine feminine energy – to the ladder of love that is the ladder of fear of love that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure as a choice of meeting the needs of both parties – feelings and emotions – through a free will)”

yourspiritualquest.com

Divine Love as a Single Unit (Divine Kallos):

Divine love, as a single unit (Higher self), reflects divine Kallos as beauty and/or excellence, having true or pure essence or substance which consists of two equal or equivalent parts (similar but not identical as concepts or ideas), creating a (serious) disagreement and argument about something important, as opposed or conflicting forces (spiritual and emotional love):

  • Spiritual love is a primary feeling or force (pushing concepts as divine masculine electric energy or archetype) and
  • Emotional love (as loving someone or something) that is both:

a primary emotion (falling in love with someone or something) by pulling ideas as divine feminine magnetic energy or archetype,

and

a (strong) feeling or force by pushing back ideas as divine feminine magnetic energy or archetype,

to a focal (meeting) point towards a mutual (common) agreement (choice) by pairing concepts (truths or chances) with ideas (beliefs, opinions, or choices as a reaction to chances for action towards success), by having both:

  • direction and magnitude (intendancy by pushing – extension or size by pulling),
  • energies as properties (by exchanging concepts as quantitative energies, possibilities to ideas as qualitative energies, probabilities by exploiting transactional activities),
  • or archetypes (original models or forms from which energies are developed or made; electric-magnetic forms).

by turning:

 

    • chances to possibilities and then to uncertainties (chances, as possibilities grow in a space of uncertainty as its main purpose – not knowing what comes next, is also good) 
    • choices to probabilities and then to certainties (choices as certainties constitute the meaning of the existence of the quality of probabilities of being reliably true)

      Chances and choices before turning to uncertainties-certainties are expressed as possibilities-probabilities:

      They are perceived both as chances for success (possibilities) and chances to succeed (probabilities) and therefore they still can not be directly converted; To have a chance for success means (to have) potential, an opportunity or possibility to do well; To have a chance to succeed means to have potential, opportunity or possibility for success (having the abilities to achieve success).

       

      But they can be indirectly converted by turning to abilities – responsibilities;  To possess the responsibility skills as abilities that help you acknowledge your objectives, take responsibility for them, and achieve them;

    • After turning to uncertainties-certainties they become opposing or competing forces that they can now be directly converted (chances by turning around to certainties-uncertainties, they turn to the opposing or competing forces as abilities-responsibilities, by relating virtues and morals, as causes (provable solutions) and effects (events or actualities).

      Certainty means there is no doubt (accept the truth) related to the outcomes. Uncertainty means there is no surety (not warrantied or promised) about the positive or negative outcomes due to the risk involved. They are opposing. The opposite of uncertainty is presence.

      In this way, by converting the status from chances and choices after turning to uncertainties-certainties (as chances) and then to certainties-actualities (through cognitive intervention) 

      Impulsive choice and free will are actually taking a leap of faith (a leap over logic, reason, and emotional boundaries based mostly on psychological factorsa belief in something uncertain; outweighing the uncertainty of an ambiguous future result or effect by making an impulsive choice as a false certainty or cause at present) in order:

      • to discover who you” really” are.
      • to make yourself feel “whole”.
      • to feel excited and new.
      • to have no fear.
      • to be more intuitive.
      • to feel a complete sense of freedom.
      • to achieve great things in life.

      Understanding these great ideas about chance, choice, free will, love, fear and the fear of love can motivate us to work to stay consciously in a place of love. Learning how to design our thoughts and lives to keep us in this place is important for anyone who wants to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.

      Reason does not contrast love and the fear of love at odds with each other—and neither does the dictionary.

      The fear itself isn’t a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much we care. In a way, fear can deepen joy, passion, and love, if we learn how to find the courage to act despite it.

      Rather, when people think of the opposite of love, they are probably thinking of dislike, disgust, or perhaps the most common of all, hate. And when they think the opposite of fear, they think of courage, bravery, or fearlessness.

      Keeping these big ideas in mind, we can start to break down what it looks like to choose either love or fear of love in our daily lives. Here, in this article are some ways love versus fear of love manifests itself in the real world.

      Fear of love destroys. Love creates”

      When we’re afraid of something, we’re more likely to tear it down or throw it away. Coming from a place of love, however, encourages us to create, build, or add. If your project or your work gets rejected, you might be afraid to try again and nothing will happen as a result. Conversely, if you truly love your work, you’re more likely to make some adjustments and try again until you succeed.

      Fear of love tightens. Love releases”

      If you’re afraid of losing something, you might tighten your grip on it. If you truly love it, however, you’re willing to let it go if you need to. Parents learn this lesson as their children grow up and prepare to leave home. Tightening your “grip” on your children, out of fear, will be stressful for both the child and you, but releasing them with love will help them feel encouraged and supported, and will bring you more peace as a parent.

      Fear of love breeds domination. Love breeds cooperation”

      When someone is afraid of losing control, it’s easy for them to become domineering. Love, on the other hand, breeds cooperation. Loving couples are more likely to work together to create a life and a home that both of them are happy with. But if one or both of the parties starts to live in fear, they may start acting dominant as a way of exerting control.

      If we do not love ourselves, why anyone else? Rejection of self-acts as negative hypnosis: the more negative beliefs, the stronger your self-doubt. Before you can form a close bond with another person, you must first understand the most important that is saving the relationship in your life and most and foremost the relationship with yourself.

      Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. Fear of love hesitates”

      Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. While it is nice to be loved by someone else, each of us can only really feel loving feelings for another person and not that person’s emotions for us. To connect with and sustain these loving feelings within us, we must take loving actions. Otherwise, we may live in a fantasy.

      Fear of emotional closeness is characterized by the fact that people need more and more distance as a relationship becomes closer. This situation may sound familiar to you: You want nothing more than a happy partnership. But instead of committing, you hesitate. Fear of being hurt or overwhelmed by your emotions. And instead of looking for a solution, you leave each time, you find it a little harder to relate to another person. And at some point, you doubt that you can accept love and open your heart.

      Fear often keeps us from doing things we otherwise really want to do. Love, on the other hand, pushes us toward those goals and encourages us to act to make our dreams a reality. In addition, scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

      Deep in our hearts, we humans long for true and unconditional love. At the same time, many people are close to their inner selves. They lock their hearts with heavy locks and do not give others a chance to find the keys to their heart. These people have a hard time accepting the love they want so much. Sometimes they do not even recognize that it is right in front of them, because love is everywhere.

      Thoughts like “nobody wants to be with me” are in their minds. And although they do not have this feeling on purpose, of course, it always brings back moments when they could be happy. Self-doubt ultimately leads to stress, because when someone else shows you that he loves you, you wonder if something is wrong. This increases your fear of being hurt, frustrated, or exploited.

      Love is positive. It is proactive. It looks at the goal and says, “Yes, we can do that. Let’s get going.” It involves the love of the goal, love of yourself, and love of the steps you’ll need to take to get there. You move toward the goal, ready and willing to face whatever challenges appear along the way.

      Fear of love is negative. It is reactive. It looks at the goal and says, “No, we can’t do that. Let’s get away.” When you’re fearful, you fear that your goal isn’t achievable, that you aren’t capable, or that your plan couldn’t possibly get you to where you want to go. So, instead of moving toward the goal, you move away from it. So, you finally convince yourself that the goal isn’t worth the effort.

      The Significance of Love in Reality Creation

      Reality is a state of consciousness of having substance and experiencing existence by combining and equating the following fundamental principles:

      • Duality Principle through critical thinking (know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence that is an idealistic, notional idea (as affection) and fear of love (as intimacy) are combined to form a single unit of love expressed as chances for something to occur or possibilities and experienced as chances of experiencing success or probabilities, with the
      • Equivalence Principle through analytical thinking (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as chances of success; divide and share resources – individuals or groups of people as provable solutions or root causes – by turning possibilities to uncertainties and then to abilities or core competencies) and the
      • Equality Principle (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as choices towards success) through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities by turning probabilities into certainties and then response-to-abilities or responsibilities that lead to actual results.
      • The equity Principle striving for inner peace and balance (that reflects the basic principle of the golden mean) recognizes that each individual or group has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome where always by default cause equates with effect by balancing presented chances to choices through free will. According to the equity principle, the effect justifies the cause for something to occur (Choice as a Cause, to be, and Chance as an effect, to exist). In this way, uncertainties as core competencies through action forces turn to certainties and then to substance, and certainties as responsibilities through reaction forces turn to actualities, leading to experiencing existence or occurrence.
      • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause where both form the actual solutions to a problem, uncertainty or risk through free will [Choice as a Cause or Meaning (To be) = Chance as an Effect or Purpose (To exist) = Actual Solution (both Chance as Meant to be which defines Fate as meaningful coincidences or simply Meaning and Choice as Meant to exist as Purpose which determines actual experiences as Destiny)]. In this way, actualities (effects) are perceived as having substance (To be), and occurrences (causes) as experiencing existence or living experiences (To exist).
      • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance attained between two extremes (mentioned above as the golden mean) by accepting love and offering help (a transactional activity) – instead of simply giving (exchanging) love for help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

      Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation by striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes;  by accepting love and offering help – one of excess and one of deficiency – the first as a moderate feeling of affection as chances of success and the later as intimacy as choices towards experiencing success as physical or emotional closeness, by exercising the sacred right of free will to meet the needs of both parties (more of a transactional activity instead of a simple exchange).

      The Mechanism

      Front Consciousness Operations:

      Critical way of thinking or critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing as a guide to a possible action toward the best solutions to a problem (by understanding the circumstances that a thinker is aware of) through the logical connection between a concept and an idea (that is the identification of the problem and nature of a problem itself).

      An analytical way of thinking or analytical thinking is the intellectual ability to extract and process key information from data, verify the causes, and develop workable solutions (provable solutions) for the problem identified.

      Back Consciousness Operations:

      A synthetic way of thinking or Synthetic thinking is the combination of the parts taken from analytical thinking (provable solutions) into a complex whole as results; assessment of the effects (actual results).

      The difference between the analytical and synthetic ways of thinking is that analytical thinking is the abstract separation of a whole into its constituent parts to study their relations while synthetic thinking takes the parts and combines them into a whole again through subjective-objective and reasonable justification.

      The Equivalence Principle equates Inertial mass as a qualitative measure (a condition) to Gravitational mass as a quantitative measure (a property, quality, or characteristic) that is to turn or equate an emotion to a feeling such as fear of love to love.

      Inertial mass is the mass of a body as determined by the second law of motion from the acceleration of the body when it is subjected to a force that is not due to gravity.

      Gravitational is the mass of a body determined by its response to the force of gravity and is measured by comparing the force of gravity of an unknown mass to the force of gravity of a known mass. Inertial mass is found by applying a known force to an unknown mass, measuring the acceleration, and applying Newton’s Second Law, a = F/m.

      • Weight is different from mass. Weight (W) is the force of gravity exerted on an object.
      • Mass is a measure of the inertia of the object (i.e. how much it resists changes in velocity).
      • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.

      Love Velocity as an Action
      Love Velocity as an Action

      The higher the value of gravitational force the higher the weight and speed/velocity; they are directly proportional to each other. A change in velocity is a change in energy and a weight change.

      The Equality Principle requires that equal situations are treated equally and unequal situations differently. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities. Failure to do so will amount to discrimination unless a subjective or objective and reasonable justification exists.

      Duality Principle: turns an Undefined problem to solve to Identifiable problem (Reality Reflection)

      Equivalence Principle: definition of the nature turns an Identifiable problem to an Identified one and choose provable solution to solve it (Reality Perception)

      Equality Principle: Identified problem through provable solution turns to a Defined actual result through reasonable justification (Reality Formation)

      Equity Principle: actual solution finally not only treats equally provable solution with actual result but also balances them gaining timing and momentum that give rise to the actual solution of the problem at hand where the effect justifies the cause (Effect relates to Cause); (Reality Expression)

      Causality Principle: equates provable solution to Identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences to coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning coincidences to meaningful or experiences (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution); (Reality Creation)

      Synchronicity Principle: subjective experiences (as an Uknown non-conscious connection) that turn occurrences as chance events to coincidences and then to meaningful experiences towards inner peace and balance, maintained by offering and accepting love and help (accepting love as life purpose and offering help as meaning or living experience); (Reality Manifestation)

      Duality Principle (Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium through critical thinking): [Inertial mass * Love (Acceleration as an Action Force)] = [Gravitational mass * Fear of Love (Intensity of the Gravitational Field as a Reaction Force)]

      Equivalence Principle (Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium through analytical thinking): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose)] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of love  Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning)]

      Equality Principle (Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium treated equally through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose) = Cause as a Principle (make something happen) = Space] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of Love Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning) = Effect as a Consequence or Result = Time]

      Equity Principle (Psychological – Mental Love Equilibrium balanced equally) indicates that Love Velocity as Supply, Purpose or Timing (a point of a period when something may happen as chance, judgement or control) is also balanced against Demand, Meaning or Momentum (a time period when something happens as choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing = Supply = Space = Cause and Momentum = Demand = Time = Effect.

      Causality Principle (Physical – Psychological Love Equilibrium); The logical relationship between two events the Cause (Inertial mass) and the Effect (Gravitational mass) through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency); As all falling bodies have the same constant acceleration the two types of mass must be equal to a third force or Resonant frequency as an Actual Solution; (Inertial mass = Resonant frequency and Gravitational mass = Resonant frequency) or (Inertial mass – as Timing, Supply, Space or Cause = Gravitational mass – as Demand, Time or Effect = Resonant frequency)

      Synchronicity Principle: subjective meaningful experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) sensed as the Natural frequency of a body determined by its response to the force of Gravity compare to Inertia mass – that forms the Actual solution.

      The actual steps:

      Front Consciousness Operations:

      • Duality Principle: Combining two competitive or opposing forces or elements; Love as Chance for Taking Charge and Fear of Love as Choice; Inertial mass and Gravitational mass; Velocity and Weight.

      Back Consciousness Operations:

      • Equivalence Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Chances (chances of success), by equating elements of Chances (as possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose or virtues). Love velocity as a provable solution to an undefined problem, as an action towards inertial mass, a concept or a feeling turns into a purpose as a virtue and then to a cause (a defined root cause of the problem), and then to space.
      • Equality Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Choices (chances of experiencing success), by equating elements of Choices (as probabilities, certainties, and responsibilities) of being equal in status, rights, and opportunities (as chances of experiencing success, meaning or morals, possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose, or virtues). Finally, the fear of love as a reaction, an idea, a resistance to the applied force of the speed of love, a resistance to the actual solution as an indefinable problem, a gravitational mass, or emotion turns into meaning as a moral, and then to effect (a definite result as the actual impact of the root cause of the problem), and then to time.
      • Equity Principle: According to the Equality Principle Purpose as Virtues and Meaning as Morals are not only treated equally (as equal Action-Reaction forces or inputsbut are also balanced (a state of equilibrium) gaining momentum or timing after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship (single events or a sequence of related circumstances that give rise to the actual solution to the initial problem at hand); According to the equity principle finally Love Velocity (as distance divided by the time taken) equates with Time. Love Velocity as Supply, Timing, or Purpose (a point of a period when something may happen as a chance, judgment, or control) is balanced against Fear of Love as a Demand, Momentum, or Meaning (the time period that something happens as a choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing (Purpose as Virtues or Supply or Cause or Space) is balanced against Momentum (Meaning as Morals or Effects or Demand or Time),(Effect = Cause).
      • Causality Principle: The logical relationship between two events the Cause and the Effect through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency). It equates a provable solution to an identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences into meaningful coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning meaningful coincidences into actual experiences as an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution).

      Connecting Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations:

      Love (Agape) pushes energy forwards as Chances and triggers in Love (Eros) by giving love or receiving help as emotions, reactions, or resistance due to the Fear of Love.

      In Love (Eros), as a Choice, becomes then the Main Cause of the resistance to Love and moves by pulling energy backward altering its status from uncertainty to certainty – by taking a leap of faith – and then turning to an Effect (due to the Causality and Synchronicity Principles).

        • Synchronicity Principle: a phenomenon where the human mind interprets (through front consciousness operations) actions on chances as provable solutions or coincidences that turn to reactions as choices or meaningful coincidences or actual results and finally to actual solutions or actual experiences as an effect. At the end of the process (through back consciousness operations), an initial risk, uncertainty, or problem through the Fear of Love as resistance to Love (weight) turns to Cause, to Meaning, to Space, and then to Timing, and Love Velocity turns to Purpose, to Effect (an event as an actual solution to the initial problem or risk), to Momentum through Space-Time or the Present moment.
        • Finally (by connecting front-to-back consciousness operations) Timing as a coincidence, a meaningful event, life, space, or fate = Momentum as a sequence of meaningful coincidences, events, living experiences, time, or destiny = the Present moment as space-time or an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution or Space = Time = Space-Time).
      possibilities as 
        that is actually taking action for something to occur (a trigger or a cause as an impulsive action or choice between chances towards success or opportunities) or happen (an effect as a reaction to action or choice between chances of success).
      • accepting love, and offering help are the new opposing forces forming a balanced relationship between chances, through a transactional activity, as purpose and meaning of life,  

      •  and then as uncertainties for actions and probabilities as choices of the chances for action and then as certainties).

        • Inertial mass (Qualitative measure) = Gravitational mass (Quantitative measure)
        • Inertia = property of matter (attribute, quality, or characteristic)
        • Gravity: The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other physical matter having mass.
        • Mass: The Measure of inertia or gravity is a fundamental property of all matter; it is in effect the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force (the more significant the mass of a body the smaller the change produced by an applied force).
        • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction and it’s defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken; it is represented as m/s or cm/s.
        • Weight is dependent on gravitational force.

    The Significance of In-Love in Reality Creation

    In love is another element, quality, or step on the ladder of love that is the connecting link that connects all the main parts or states of the mind as it combines different qualities such as:

        • A desire as a feeling (having substance as a strong drive, force, or cause) is another element or step on the ladder of love based on intellectual intelligence (IQ) which is a human mental activity and understanding developed through thinking, experiences, and senses (by the conscious mind).
        • An emotion (experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) is the main element on the ladder of fear of love based on emotional intelligence (EQ) which is the ability to understand, manage and regulate own emotions, reduce stress, defuse conflict, and reduce emotional reactivity through abstract reasoning (by the conscious-unconscious mind).
        • A distinct state of mind; psychological tendency; intuitive psychological choice; in the cause of freedom based on analytical intelligence (AQ) by comparing and contrasting ideas towards long-term provable solutions to problems by the preconscious mind.
        • An actual result; in effect; is valid from that moment based on synthetic intelligence (SQ) that is future-oriented, holistic, and synthesis of provable solutions (causes) with actual results (effects) by the subconscious mind.
        • A passion that is the essence of the beauty of love through non-conscious intelligence (NQ) with processes in which people are not consciously aware; systems indistinguishable in function; and non-conscious reasoning (by the nonconscious mind).
        • Sensing or seeing (experiencing) the essence of the beauty of love (spiritual love); love–in–love equilibrium by offering and accepting love and help through causal intelligence (CQ) by determining relationships more accurately by understanding how one variable impacts another and how certain outputs (actual results) have changed by identifying current and future trends (as actual solutions); blissful love sensed at the center of the heart.

    The Levels of Love Equilibrium

    The mystery behind the spiritual world is difficult to comprehend when we use worldly wisdom. However, we can see that the spirit has the plan to save us from any situation that we may find ourselves in through serial love levels in steps, or stages towards spiritual-mental love of the Higher self as a superior spiritual goal where true love (foresight) is perfectly aligned with self-love (insight):

        • Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium level or Self-conceptualization – Self-reflection equilibrium point 1 reflecting the 1st eye as peace and tranquility (based on the Duality Principle)
        • Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium level or Self-satisfaction – Self-fulfillment equilibrium point 2 reflecting the 2nd eye as harmony  (based on the Equivalence Principle)
        • Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium level or Self-actualization – Self-imagination equilibrium point 3 reflecting the 3rd eye as bliss, perfect happiness, and great joy (based on the Equality Principle)
        • Spiritual – Psychological Love Equilibrium level reflecting the 4th eye (based on the Equity Principle)
        • Spiritual – Physical Love Equilibrium level reflects the meeting point of the previous Equilibrium levels into unity combined within the whole (based on the Causality, Resonance, and Synchronicity Principles)

    The Duality Principle:

    Combining Chances and Choices within the whole as Possibilities and Probabilities

    The Duality principle: A state of combining two opposing or competing forces within the whole; Unknown as chances for divine intervention to solve a problem as divine or spiritual love (Bid to know spiritual love) – Unknowns as chances of successful divine intervention (as choices) experienced as a fear of love (ask to successfully experience divine help) through the conscious-unconscious mind. It represents things that we are neither aware of nor understand and combines them into a whole as a single unit.

    A conscious mind involves all of the things that you are currently both aware or unaware of and thinking about; short-term memory that is limited in terms of capacity; done or acting with critical awareness. It represents the Unknown as possibilities = chances of divine intervention to solve a problem (bid to know divine love or the ability for something to occur through a spontaneous response to the problem at hand – a logical assumption).

    The unconscious mind consists of the processes in the mind that occur automatically and are not available for introspection; not awake or aware of and responding to one’s environment; it affects feelings and emotions. It represents the Unknowns as probabilities = chances of successful divine intervention to solve a problem (ask for divine help or to experience a successful divine help or something is both possible and likely to occur – an emotional prediction).

    The Equivalence Principle:

    Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Uncertainties

    The Equivalence principle: A state of equating (dividing) two pairs of interacting, opposite, and equal forces (by a forced mental split) such as chances to uncertainties (50% Unknown as abilities for something to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the preconscious-subconscious mind. Things that we understand but are not aware of that turn into things that we were aware of but do not understand.

    The Preconscious mind controls the information that is allowed to enter into conscious awareness; done or acting with analytical awareness. It represents the Unknown as abilities = 50% chances of occurrence of divine intervention, or help to solve a problem.

    The Equality principle:

    Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Certainties

    The Equality principle: Treats equally the information that enters through the preconscious mind with the subconscious thoughts (Known-Knowns as things we’re aware of and understand) through the interference of the conscious-nonconscious mind by subjective-objective problem data analysis and reasonable justification through the synthetic way of thinking.

    The subconscious mind responds to information that enters into conscious awareness through the preconscious mind through a subjective problem data analysis and reasonable justification; they are mental activities just below the threshold of consciousness; subconscious thoughts affect psychological responses and behavior.

    A state of equating choices to certainties (50% Knowns for something both possible and likely to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind represents the Knowns as response-to-abilities or actualities (meaningful coincidences or experiences as chances of successful divine intervention, or help).

    Balancing (by the reaction – forces) the Opposite forces of Uncertainties-Certainties as Values and Morals

    The Equity Principle: Recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Equality of opportunity to achieve one’s potential, an equal share of benefits, empowerment to enable access to information, fair representation, and meaningful participation in decision-making through the exercise of Action-Reaction forces through Choice and Free will.

    Known as uncertainties turn to certainties and then to values = 50% chances of the purposeful occurrence of divine intervention or help, and Knowns as certainties turn to actualities and then to morals = 50% chances of successful or meaningful divine intervention or help (experiences as meaningful coincidences). Supply as Values (Purpose) = Demand as Morals (Meaning).

    The Causality principle:

    Achieving a balance of the Opposite forces of Values and Morals as Causes and Effects

    The Causality principle:  A genetic connection of phenomena through which one thing (the cause) under certain conditions gives rise to something else (the effect). The principle indicates the existence of a logical relationship between two events (relates a simple coincidence to a meaningful coincidence or experience), the root cause, and the effect (the actual result) where the cause always precedes the effect (the effect justifies the cause) and they both finally form the actual solution due to the resonance principle.

    The Synchronicity Principle:

    Maintaining the balance achieved through Nonconscious processes (by transactional activities)

    The Synchronicity Principle: Subjective experiences (as nonconscious mental processes) that coincidences between events may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection. It supports the mechanism behind the constant adjustment of the alignment of the above levels or stages that is Love – In Love Equilibrium point (as a balancing factor towards the Blissful Love Equilibrium point) by offering and accepting love and help, through transactional activities.

    The Nonconscious mind reflects any mental processes that go on that an individual is unaware of; they are not thought about consciously. Nonconscious processes are not unconscious processes.

    The difference between the unconscious and nonconscious mind is that the unconscious is a part of the mind that is not accessible to the conscious mind; it lies outside of conscious awareness but affects feelings and emotions. However, individuals are mostly unaware of the plethora of nonconscious thought processes that are going on at any moment.

    Definition of Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium

     © yourspiritualquest.com - Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart

    Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements such as strong feelings of love and intense emotions of fear that are either static (as in a mind acted on by forces whose resultant is zero – by being in a state from selfish to Selfless love and from fearful to fearless or self-love) or dynamic as action-reaction forces (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal).

    Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of intellectual or emotional balance due to the equal action of opposing pairs of forces such as spiritual or intellectual-emotional, and psychological-physicalThe sum of life-preserving instincts that are manifested as impulses to gratify basic needs, sublimated impulses, and impulses to protect and preserve the body and mind — compare death instinct.

    To grow spiritually, you must have equilibrium within. Spirit leads to your spiritual body and then to the emotional body through the soul.  Your soul finally leads to your psychological and then to the physical body. In this alignment, you operate in peace through spiritual and emotional love, psychological attraction, physical affection, and mental love as a pure child of bliss.

    Similarly, when your soul overrides your spirit, spiritual-emotional equilibrium is disturbed within.  The soul becomes defensive, carnal, and controlling, and our pursuit of bliss is hindered.

    The spirit is mind-driven and the soul is emotion-driven and even psychology and flesh-driven. When our soul is mainly carnally led, our spirit, misses its meaning and purpose in life, because our spirit is always pointed toward and exists exclusively for the divine love or love of mankind, whereas our soul can be mostly self-centered. The joy, comfort, and peace of bliss’s presence can only be experienced through our spirit. However, unredeemed, the soul can become a prison that holds back our maturity and spiritual growth.

    The good news is, that we can each bring our souls to a place of rest. The spiritual-Emotional Equilibrium of spirit and soul comes when your soul is at rest and your spirit, which communicates with the soul, leads you forward towards the equilibrium point where Love-In-Love curves intersect.

    Definition of Love – In-Love Equilibrium

    © yourspiritualquest.com - Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart

    The whole world is confused for a surprisingly modest-sounding reason: we don’t understand love, yet we are rather convinced that we do.

    We write and talk a lot about love of course, but generally, we do not understand the deeper meanings of its existence in our life.

    The whole universe is made up of energy and at that level, everything is vibrating or oscillating at a specific frequency the Resonant Frequency. What does the universe vibrate at? Listening to a sound at 432 Hz is especially pleasing to the ear, and is said to reduce stress and promote emotional stability by putting you in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”.

    The whole Creation constitutes the center of devoted love, where men and women are created physically, spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally to live together in blissful love.

    The love between a husband and a wife must be, among other things, a love affair. However, a marriage based solely on erotic love will fail. The emotion of sexual love diminishes and diminishes. Healthy marriages will have a mix of Agape, Storge, Eros, Philia (Touch), Platonic love (Pure Love), and Anidiotelis Agape (True Love).

    A Gradual Shift from Desire and Empathy to Compassion and Care

        • The Law of Reverse Effect states: “The greater the conscious effort, the less the subconscious response” that is the harder one consciously tries to do something, the more difficult it is to succeed; or “Whenever the will (conscious mind) and imagination (unconscious mind) conflict, the imagination (unconscious mind) always wins.

    The law of reverse effect creates resistance to get us moving. So how could we overcome these things? First, it might be your desire. Desire is strong energy and can cut through resistance like a sharp knife.

    What is the true meaning of desire? Desire means to have a longing for. Some common synonyms of desire are coveted, crave, want, and wish. It stresses the strength of feeling and often implies a strong intention or aim. An expressed wish; Something desired; A desire to start a new life.

    Empathy is our feeling of awareness toward other people’s emotions and an attempt to understand how they feel.

    Studies suggest that empathy while well-intentioned isn’t neutral. It’s even suggested that it can sometimes hurt more than help our relationships and our ability to lead effectively.

    Empathy can make us unconsciously more sympathetic towards individuals we relate to more. This makes us less likely to connect with people whose experiences don’t mirror ours.

    The answer to the inadequacy of desire and empathy is motivation. Motivation is everything in life!

    As we see it, at the dawn of a new era, there are two main emerging spiritual-emotional forces or factors behind any individual’s endeavor in society as a whole to create and sustain motivation: Compassion and Care.

    Compassion is an emotional response to empathy or sympathy and creates a desire to help.

    “Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”

    Plato

        • Compassion (a motivating factor or positive affective stimulus based on psychological love) is an innate core ability for achieving someone’s goals by loving, helping, or supporting others that encourages someone to act towards the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and
        • Fear of abandonment or rejection (a negative affective stimulus based on the impact of the fear of love) is a response to the above ability by the fear of acting in an uncompassionate way by making sacrifices in return for the benefit offered that triggers emotional reactions of discouraging an individual from acting”.

    What Are the Types or Stages of Love?

     

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Stages of Love and Fear

    6 Types or Stages of Love – Ladder of Love

    The word “love” is a flexible term in the English language. It has several different meanings. Six unique words in ancient Greek describe the range of meanings the English word love conveys.

    The following ladder of love consists of Six Types or Stages of Spiritual-Emotional-Psychological-Physical and Spiritual-Mental Love that are defined as:

    I. Agape: love of mankind, divine, spiritual love.
    II. Storge: love of parents for children.
    III. Eros: erotic, passionate love.
    IV. Philia: love of friends and equals.
    V. Platonic Eros or Agape: in touch, mental love; establish a rapport or relationship.
    VI. Anidiotelis Agape: True Love: perfect romantic love between people with an aligned belief system and common interests based on the equilibrium of strong spiritual desires and deep emotional needs.
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Love

    In Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, the playwright Aristophanes suggests that the origin of love lies in the desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half”.

    Surprisingly he was right. Love in the ladder moves upward. In addition, even though all stages exist to some degree, Eros is the nowadays dominant type or stage behind any human endeavor (it is important to state here that the ladder of love and fear in this article is differentiated from the original and reflects the personal views of the writer).

    Being in love (Eros) with someone is psychologically charged in a way that relates to the human mind and feelings. Specifically, when you’re in love with someone, you feel a strong, almost inexplicable desire for that person. To love someone is to have a strong feeling of closeness and care for someone.

    Eros is about asking for love (demanding love) and involves a loss of control with intense anticipation and nervousness while loving someone is about offering love (supplying love) where you feel happy, secure, and at ease with your partner.

    Over or excess demands for love create fear, worry, and anxiety with reverse effects on humanity’s mental and physical health in general. As a result, balance is lost and society struggles to find purpose and meaning in life.

    However, a new strong potential emerges gradually over time. A potential shift from stage three to stage two. From Eros to Storge which takes a new meaning as part of another way or an upgraded path to the essence of love; blissful love.

    But it does not happen easily and with no cost. The higher the steps, the more intellectual it is. To be able to climb the ladder, one must understand the previous steps thoroughly. It is designed to happen through stages, struggles, and lessons. Rewards are bigger though.

    Agape as spiritual love lays at the top of the ladder as the beacon of the spiritual road to blissful love as the ultimate prize; the ultimate step for someone to conquer the knowledge of both the spiritual and emotional aspects of love; real and true love in unity; the uniqueness of love. The fulfillment of the desire to complete ourselves by finally finding the long-lost “other half”.

    Anidiotelis Agape, Unconditional Love, Undistracted Love, and Philautia (Self-love) lay at the roots of the ladder of love. Every other form or stage of love is built upon these core foundational archetypes of love.

    History and Origin

    • Agape: (Divine or Spiritual love borrowed from Greek agape – agan=much and pa=protection); is defined as self-sacrificing human or personal love often conditional, or limited in nature. It is the love that focuses on the will, not the emotions, experiences, or libido based on aspects and conditions of possessive, demand, or expectation; divine or infinite spiritual love.
    • Storge: (Emotional love) Storge refers to natural, family love. Storge refers to the kind of love a parent shows for a child.
    • Eros: (Psychological love) Eros is the word often used to express the sexual love or arousal feelings shared by people who are physically attracted to each other; Definition of Eros: In Greek mythologyErosAncient Greek: Ἔρως, ‘Desire’ is the Greek god of love, sexual desire, and physical love. The Romans called him Cupid, and he was thought to be the son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.
    • Philia: (Physical love) Philia refers to brotherly love and is most often exhibited in a close friendship.
    • Platonic Eros or Mental Love: (Pure love) In TouchEstablish communication with someone. Involves deep affection, but no romantic or sexual attraction.
    • Anidiotelis Agape or True Love:  True love means that you have an unwavering, unbreakable, and unparalleled fondness and devotion for another;
    • Selfless Love: Loving someone regardless of your needs; loving others without rejecting or excluding yourself; whatever you do, you do it with your heart; loving without any attachments to an expectation in return. Is also defined by an immeasurably deep spiritual-emotional unity of spirit and soul into the wholeness of the Higher self through self-love in a happy, passionate, and fulfilling relationship.

    I. Agape – Spiritual Love

    Definition of Love, Selfish, Selfless, True Love

    Agape constitutes the ultimate spiritual goal and the end of human existence as a biological entity by finally finding the long-lost “other half” and turning into wholeness!

    According to Aristophanes in Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, at the beginning of time, all people were hermaphrodites with double backs and sides, four arms and four legs, and two faces turned in opposite directions on the same head. Zeus had to cut them in two, male and female – and from that day on, each of us longed to be reunited in the place from which he was cut off.

    What does selfishness in love mean? Selfish Love is focused on getting what one can gain from their partner and the relationship. True Love is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment. True love is gifted with foresight and knows that love evokes love.

    Contrary to what we like to say and believe, the feeling of love doesn’t occur in our hearts, at least scientifically. Instead, it happens in our brain when we release hormones (oxytocin, dopamine, adrenaline, testosterone, estrogen, and vasopressin) that create a mix of feelings: euphoria, pleasure, or bonding. However fearless, or selfless love fills and occupies the heart.

    We want others to live up to our expectations right now. Excessive wants can limit our happiness. But true love means giving people time to mature and grow, to go wrong, to wander in another direction, and to give them every opportunity to grow, at their own pace.

    A genuinely healthy relationship based on pure emotions and feelings is a relationship that is not dominated by the ego by creating an image and searching for itself. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention to the person to whom there is absolutely no compulsion.

    II. Storge – Emotional Love

    Definition of Fear, Fearful and Fearless or Self-Love

    Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others; the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of yourself (insight).

    Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. A state marked by this emotion. Anxious concern: solicitude. A reason for alarmdanger.

    Whenever we enter into a love relationship with someone love is based upon our emotions of fears. Love is also defined by fear. It’s the underlying groundwork of any relationship even if it seems shocking and difficult to admit.

    Another part of the fear of love is the risk of not responding to that feeling. People fall in love together, gradually, after spending time together. But it does not always work that way. One falls in love with the other, but the other does not reciprocate the feelings. Thus, a person can resist the development of these feelings. Unreciprocated love is tragic and the possibility of a one-way love affair can cause fear and prevent a person from letting those feelings grow at all.

    Of course, the scariest thing about love can be its loss. Although this is the most obvious, and perhaps the most common, fear of love, it is also the most self-destructive, because the person ends up avoiding love for fear of losing it.

    Remember that fear, when used properly, is a valuable emotion that can alleviate our urges to rush into a new situation if we want it to work for us and not against us. Drawing on Aristotle and the Stoic philosophers, we must recognize that excessive fear will prevent you from trying anything new while very little fear will make you fall in love very easily, a lot, and quickly, resulting in probably more pain in the long run. Ideally, fear should be used in conjunction with logic to decide if that danger is worth it.

    Even prudence can go a long way because we do not want to be fooled, but neither should we be careful to the extent that we avoid life. And if, as many believe, love is an essential or an integral part of the meaning of life, and something that makes life and not mere existence, then the wisest thing to do is to overcome your fears, reject your reservations, and pay attention only to love.

    We should be almost done with romantic love now. We need to look at the challenge of this kind of love. However, it is not surprising that we are still just at the beginning, just starting on the road to being human.

    What’s Philophobia?

    Philophobia is a fear of falling in love. It can also be a fear of entering into a relationship or a fear that you will not be able to maintain a relationship. Many people experience a slight fear of falling in love at some point in their lives. But in extreme cases, philophobia can make people feel isolated and unloved.

    Philophobia is not a condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor because it is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, it can affect someone’s mental health negatively.

    Potential Causes of Philophobia

    The fear of falling in love has many potential causes, including:

    Fear of losing identity

    Fear of losing identity due to past experiences. Traumatic relationships of the past can contribute to the development of the fear of falling in love. Infidelity, betrayal, or frustration can make you stay away from romantic relationships. Other types of relationships can also cause fear, such as parental relationships and close friendships.

    Fear of losing purpose and meaning

    Fear of losing purpose and meaning due to cultural experiences. In some cultures, there is more pressure to marry at a young age under certain conditions. If one does not want to have this traditional experience, it can lead to philophobia.

    Fear of abandonment or rejection

    Fear of abandonment or rejection. Putting yourself out there can be scary. Studies show that rejection can have similar effects on the body as physical pain. Most people can overcome rejection, but if you have experienced enough painful rejections, the fear of another may stay with you.

    III. Eros – Psychological or Unconditional Love

    Eros – Love Significance

    Unconditional love is to love others and ourselves much more authentically and generouslyis an active choice to continue loving with no expectations or rewards. It serves a higher purpose (purposeful). Loving someone unconditionally may produce positive feelings. However, humanity has long been fascinated by the conflict between our noblest ideals and the most urgent and exciting demands of our sexual nature.

    Sexual excitement is psychological. It’s not so much what our bodies happen to be doing that turns us on. It’s what’s happening in our brains. Acceptance is at the center of collective experiences and feels physical – the blood pumps faster, the metabolism shifts gear and the skin gets hot – but behind all this lies a sense of an end to our isolation.

    We can only start to understand the role of sexuality in love if we can accept that it is not necessarily a uniquely pleasant experience in and of itself. Nevertheless, sex with our lover can be one of the nicest things we ever do.

    The reason is that sex delivers a major psychological thrill. The pleasure we experience has its origin in an idea: that of being allowed to do a very private thing to and with another person. The mutual permission involved in sex is dramatic and large. We’re implicitly saying to another person that we have granted them an extraordinary privilege.

    Authenticity

    The person who loves us sexually does something properly redemptive. They stop making a distinction between the different sides of who we are. They can see that we are the same person all the time. That our gentleness or dignity in some situations isn’t fake. Through sexual love, we have the chance to solve one of the deepest, problems of human nature which is how to be accepted for who we are.

    In general, at least Western culture requires us to present rigorously crafted versions of ourselves to others. It asks us to be cleaner, purer, and more polite versions of what we might otherwise be. Demand has quite high internal costs. Important aspects of our character are pushed into the shadows.

    Compassion

    At times it may feel frustrating, but it’s pretty empowering to accept the fact that the only person we have any true control over in a relationship is ourselves. Therefore, we can choose whether to engage in behaviors that are destructive to intimacy or authenticity to take actions that express feelings of love, compassion, affection, respect, and kindness.

    To forgive is to know that we are, in our way, as guilty as others. But that is no reason forever to withhold love. We learn to forgive when we’re brave enough to explore the darker sides of our hearts.

    Self-esteem

    Some people believe that they do not deserve to be desired by someone else. And even though they are attracted to someone and the feeling is mutual, they can not let themselves express themselves. The reasons why people have such sad thoughts can be many. It is not uncommon to have a false self-image or low self-esteem. Sometimes they also had negative experiences with an ex-partner who held them down and made them feel unloved or rejected.

    Empathy

    Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness. Love it’s about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction. To love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations. One day, we will all require the charity of others. In one way or another, we will need people to look past our evident failings.

    IV. Philia – Physical or Undistracted Love (not carnal)

    Undistracted love means learning to capture the deeper spiritual meaning as a responsible answer (meaningful) by receiving unconditional love as your higher purpose in life. Receiving unconditional love can also make a difference in emotional well-being.

    Honesty

    We love people who promise that they will in some way help to make us whole. At the center of our feelings, there is gratitude for having found someone who seems to complement our qualities and dispositions. It is really important to make us feel appreciated and accepted as we are and not to pretend to be what others want us to be.

    To love means being loyal to people with steadfastness and an unbudgeable resilient faith. Friendliness is a quality of openness and warmth that makes you feel welcome and at ease.

    Care

    One way to get a sense of why love should matter so much is to look at the challenges of loneliness. The pains of loneliness are an unembarrassing and universal possibility. We shouldn’t feel lonely. Unwittingly, loneliness gives us the most eloquent insights into why love should matter so much.

    In addition, when we are alone, people may well strive to show us care or kindness. There may be invitations and touching gestures, but it will be hard to escape from a background sense of the conditionality of the interest and care on offer.

    Respect

    One of the more surprising and at one level perplexing aspects of love is that we don’t merely wish to admire and respect other people. We are also powerfully drawn to want to attract them (friendly and not sexually). The birth of physical love is normally signaled by what is in reality a hugely weird act; two different people feel mutually attracted just to be friends and nothing more. Communication, mutual respect, and understanding become essential to creating and maintaining this kind of platonic relationship.

    Fairness

    Often, even in a platonic type relationship, we love at least in part in the hope of being helped and redeemed by others becoming through their help better versions of ourselves. Love contains just below the surface a hope for personal redemption: a solution to certain blocks and confusion. We shouldn’t expect to get there all by ourselves. Love promises to educate us in a very different way. Through other people, our development can start in a far more welcoming and energizing way with deep excitement and desire.

    V. In Touch – Platonic or Pure Love (no Romantic or Sexual Attraction)

    Platonic love is a type of love that is not sexual or romantic. The idea of platonic love has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy. The word “platonic” comes from the famous philosopher, writer, and speaker Plato, who outlined specific categories of love in his famous work “Symposium.” Though the philosopher never used the term himself.

    Platonic love happens when two people have a special bond where they deeply care for and respect each other, and share similar interests and values, but they don’t pursue things romantically.

    There will be a deep, often unconditional, pure love. Platonic love is what we feel when there is trust, safety, and validation in a close relationship. It’s the sense of feeling good and cared for in a relationship.

    Plato believed that love is the motivation that leads one to try to know and contemplate beauty in itself through a gradual process that begins with an appreciation of the appearance of physical beauty and then moves on to an appreciation of spiritual beauty.

    Platonic Love; Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium

    For Plato, love is not in itself an end, but only a means to achieve the supreme concept of beauty. The first step is physical; the senses unleash eros (the love that enters through the senses and compels one to approach someone). In this stage, love is still physical.

    Plato does not reject the physical dimension of love, to reach the supreme concept of beauty which is actually to reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else just because it apprehends the form of beauty, in a kind of vision that raises happiness.

    The deeper meaning of platonic love: “is the spiritual love that enters through the eyes and compels one to approach someone (or something) as a ladder in which love climbs up a series of steps to reach the peak of a supreme idea (spiritual-mental equilibrium) that is a passionate, pure, and disinterested knowledge of the essence of the beauty of love”.

    Characteristics of platonic relationships include:

        • Respect
        • Love
        • Admiration 
        • Loyalty
        • Honesty
        • Bonding over shared interests and beliefs

    VI. Anidiotelis Agape – True love

    Anidiotelis Agape (true love) is at the root of the ladder and constitutes the essence of love.  Love for love itself; An individual sees the beauty in its form and loves the beauty of love as it is. Every particular beautiful thing is beautiful because of its connection to this form.

    Agape is the supreme concept of beauty

    Agape (spiritual love) is at the top of the love ladder mentioned above as the supreme concept of beauty that also describes the concept of the essence of the state of Bliss Equilibrium in the best possible way.

    This is a delicate state of spirit and soul unifying through the heart, throughout the various stages of love, towards the ultimate goal of Bliss Equilibrium; a constant search for the knowledge on how to learn to gradually appreciate the essence and the glory of the nature of higher-self through self-love (philautia – a Greek word that means: to make friends with yourself – raising self-esteem) and its ultimate unity with spirit and the whole creation through true love (into wholeness).

    Dynamic Blissful love equilibrium

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Inner Peace – Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

    Dynamic (characterized by constant change, activity, or progress) blissful love equilibrium is where the spirit through the heart identifies and appreciates its spiritual-emotional-psychological and physical unity with the soul into wholeness (of a person positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas) through Self-awareness (the ultimate common space of Self-reflection, Self-inspection, Self-introspection, and Self-recognition).

        • Self-awareness: is the experience of one’s personality or individuality; is how an individual consciously knows and understands their character, behavior, feelings, motives, desires, and needs. 
        • Self-reflection: refers to giving thought to one’s character and behavior; a reflective looking inward: is an examination of one’s thoughts and feelings.
        • Self-inspection: is the process that relies on the observation of one’s mental state; is the experience of one’s personality or character and motives.
        • Self-introspection: the ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.
        • Self-recognition: knowledge and understanding of one’s nature or character; insight into one’s personality.

    Mind – Soul – Spirit – Body connection through the heart; the heart is the intersection point of spiritual-emotional, psychological-physical, and spiritual-mental axes.

    The steps toward dynamic blissful love equilibrium

        • Spiritual love is offering love to self and others that derive from the spirit and emotional love is accepting love from self and others that comes from the soul; they both meet at the spiritual-emotional love equilibrium point (1).
        • Unconditional and Undistracted love both come from the mind and body; They reflect life’s purpose and meaning aiming at well-being and mental health through the right mentality and the appropriate behavior of an individual: they both meet at the psychological-physical love equilibrium point (2).
        • Dynamic Blissful love equilibrium comes through the meeting of the equilibrium points (1) and (2) at the spiritual-mental love equilibrium point (3).

    The adjustment of their alignment is manifested through the love-in-love equilibrium point by giving and receiving love and help and is felt right there in the center of the heart where the three love equilibrium points coincide into wholeness as great happiness, joy, contentment, fulfillment, and bliss.

    A great shift in consciousness – Happiness vs. Fulfillment

    Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim, and end of human existence.”

    What is the real meaning of happiness? Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, and satisfaction. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Real happiness comes from within; inner peace greatly comes from having love and compassion in life.

    To distinguish between these two meanings, we use “utility” as usefulness in love to refer to the greatest good for an individual (from his/her point of view) that receives from consuming “a good” and “happiness” to refer to the opposite positive feeling of enjoying a good or meaning.

    “Benefit” is helpfulness in love besides the physical health benefits, being in love works wonders for mental health as well. Love, marriage, and overall well-being reduce stress, which also strengthens the immune system. It provides purpose, contentment, and fulfillment in life.

    A great shift into a new paradigm

    However, the spiritual love-in-love equilibrium points toward dynamic blissful love equilibrium by giving and receiving love constitutes a great shift in human consciousness into a new paradigm:

    From a state of unity within the whole into splitting from wholeness into the states (halves) mainly through (sight) the eyes (eye “ofthalmos” in Greek linked to the Modern Greek and Latin word “thalamus”: an enclosed interior space intended for specific use).

    Splitting into halves (both the human eyes) as the states of usefulness (1st eye – through the unconscious mind) helpfulness (2nd eye – through the preconscious mind), powerfulness (3rd eye – through the subconscious mind – as an intermediate way back to unity – 4th eye), and then finally uniting back into wholeness again (through the conscious – nonconscious mind) as a single (mind) unit of spirit and soul, divine feminine and masculine, felt as divine love (agape) through selfless or fearless love (by finally finding the long lost other half as beauty and excellence, spiritual and emotional love, by giving and receiving – offering and accepting – love freely not selfishly):

    • (1st eye): The state of turning from a state or property of responsiveness (cognitive space government by action-reaction forces), into
    • (2nd eye): the following state or property from relativeness to relatedness as helpfulness (physical space as causes and effects). The state of being related or connected. A sense of relatedness and interdependence in all life. Having a close harmonic connection. The desire to feel loved, connected, and meaningfully involved with the broader social world, and then into
    • (3rd eye): the following state or property of relatedness to spontaneity as powerfulness. From purpose and meaning of life to possession of controlling influence among all the loving souls of the society as a whole. A lift (an upliftment) from self-esteem (u’) to compassion (u”) as core abilities as a reaction (actualities perceived as effects) deriving from an opposite shift as an action (certainties considered as causes) from respect (w) to care (w’) as a response to those abilities (Response-to-Abilities) and then finally into
    • (4th eye – Wholeness as spontaneity): The end of a long and demanding journey with many and various challenges and upheavals is the residual upliftment from love equilibrium (e’) to dynamic blissful love equilibrium (e”) spontaneously through the non-conscious mind. Proceeding from natural feeling or native tendency without external constraints. Arising from a momentary impulse releasing energy. Controlled and directed internally: Self-acting. Without human labor. Developing or occurring without apparent influence, force, cause, or treatment.

    Activation of the 3rd eye

    From a State of proximity to a state of responsiveness and then to a state of relativeness:

    At this point in time, humanity lives up to the stage where only the first two eyes are opened leading to a state of equilibrium by gaining momentum or timing after an internal transformation process through thcausal effect relationship (something happened based on something that has occurred; single events or a sequence of related circumstances that give rise to the actual solution). 

    From a state of relativeness to a state of relatedness:

    The gradual opening of the 3rd eye due to the reverse effect relationship (a phenomenon based on reverse causality or reverse causation) describes the association of the variables differently than you would expect; in reverse causality, the outcome precedes the cause, or the dependent variable precedes the regressor; it refers either to a direction of cause-and-effect contrary to a common presumption or to a two-way causal (or causality) relationship in, as it were a loop (two-way causality relationships exist when a predictive variable is dependent on the variable of prediction). 

    Effective Cause is now the most important and decisive factor that leads to the conclusion of an Agreement (the efforts made by someone as the new circumstances that give rise to the actual solution to the initial problem at hand by balancing opposite forces – as maintaining the status quo and change – by turning them to opposing – as maintenance and no change).

    The law of reverse effect vs. reverse causality or causation:

    Reverse causality or causation refers to a change into something different or contrary after completely reversing one’s policy or thinking while the law of reverse effect (or effort) refers to the harder you try, the harder you fall; there are many things in life that cannot be improved with greater effort; sometimes, life requires that you step back; there are many moments in life when trying too hard is counterproductive.

    From a state of relatedness to a state of spontaneity:

    The next step is the opening of the 4th eye due to the reversible reaction (a reaction that can happen in both directions simultaneously). The reactants form results that in turn, react together to give the reactants back; they reach a state of equilibrium where the visible changes can be observed but the process still occurs.

    How is Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium Sustained?

    Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium

    Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium comes with a deep understanding of the gain and loss that exists from a spiritual point of view. The rules that apply to spiritual gain and loss are hardly the same as those viewed from a carnal perspective. Sustaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium requires us to understand how the principles of this nature apply to our everyday lives.

    Spiritual-emotional love equilibrium allows us to understand spiritual wisdom and love toward us. If reasoned carnally it doesn’t make any logical sense. It is also a means by which we know there is a reward reserved for us despite the long-suffering we may face in life. The following instances described below help us understand in more depth how spiritual-emotional love equilibrium is sustained:

    Maintaining spiritual cleanliness

    Spiritual cleanliness looks at what is in our hearts and spirits. If we possess a clean heart and a spirit then we are rewarded. Equilibrium is maintained in spiritual cleanliness by the mere fact that we cannot die from the physical. Equilibrium is also maintained here by the fact that our true death is not by the loss of life but by the loss of our soul. Death is not the fear of spiritual cleanliness but a chance for a change in a higher realm of existence.

    Seeking righteousness

    This means acting in accord with the personal belief systems, values, or morals free from guilt. Seeking “Righteousness” implies trying to reach a state of moral integrity and honesty; it is not self-righteousness, judging oneself by one’s standards.

    Looking beneath the surface

    To love with imagination is to look beneath the surface and picture the suffering and pain that got you to this place. To love with imagination is to put yourself in the place of others and understand why they are behaving as they do. Imaginative love knows that we are all, somewhere, desperate therefore it seeks out the source of that desperation and treats it with sorrowful gentleness.

    Operating with a degree of politeness

    We must operate with a degree of politeness too. A radical change of our true selves is the price we must pay for conviviality. We have to accept too that much of who we are won’t readily be understood. Some of our deepest concerns will be met with blank incomprehension, boredom, or fear. Most people won’t care at all and our deeper thoughts will get no interest.

    Spotting personal inadequacies

    We do not all fall in love with the same people because we are not all missing the same things. The aspects we find desirable in our partners speak of what we admire but do not have secure possession of in ourselves. We may be powerfully drawn to the competent person because we know how our own lives are held up by a lack of confidence and because it suggests the balancing quality to our own excessively compliant view of the world. Our inadequacies explain the direction of our tastes and choices.

    Working within yourself

    The good news is that yes, you can beat fear. But you have to be willing to work with yourself and remove the blocks in your mind. Most fears are related to negative experiences from your past. If you have frustrations If you have experienced injuries or shocking experiences in previous relationships, you need to deal with them in the first step to experience new love in the second step. To do this, it may sometimes be helpful to have a life coach or psychologist involved.

    Learning to love yourself

    Realize that you are unique and wonderful – just as you are here, right now. You are perfect this second and no matter what you do, think, or feel, you will always be precious and lovable. In addition, you should avoid dealing with people who tell you otherwise. Anyone who says that you are not worthy of receiving love should no longer be in the close circle of your friends or acquaintances. Because you deserve it!

    Living from your heart

    Do you live each day as you wish from your heart? Or do invisible forces seem to be preventing you from achieving your goals? And do you often encounter difficulties with your fellow human beings who always show the same patterns?

    Learning to love unconditionally

    There’s a reason people have been studying human emotion for centuries. However, it can seem like a pretty complicated topic. But if we boil it down to the basics—to love and fear of love—then we realize what living in a state of love can do for our lives, and we can start to unravel the mysteries of human thought and emotion, to create a better life for ourselves.

    But, how can we develop the optimism and positivity that love requires?

        • Start with the end in mind. What does a loving version of you look like? Try to ask yourself: What would you do if you were not afraid? Revealing the answer to this question can help you discover strong motivation.
        • Be aware of your fear. What scary thoughts are you having right now? How often do you have them? Are they triggered by something specific? Understanding your fears will only help you as you work to dispel them.
        • Plan your thoughts. Your thoughts have power. Fear of love comes from your thoughts. If you can help yourself, think of thoughts that bring you to a state of love, you will find yourself in that place.
        • Use positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are an excellent tool for anyone trying to think more positively about themselves or the world around them. If you want to know more about writing effective positive affirmations for yourself, read this.

    In Conclusion

    Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about especially spiritual love because it hasn’t been fully experienced yet; Spiritual love is a divine inheritance, a spiritual gift as a benefita good – the greatest good, through the ladder of love

    Loving someone or something (as opposing to the ladder of love that is the ladder of the fear of love is its utility – enjoying the greatest good) is given to humanity for a very special reason; to develop discernment and stamina; to allow humans to get to know reality in all its aspects, such as love, fear, life, living experiences, success, happiness, satisfaction, and contentment, by exercising the sacred right of free will.

    Chance and choice interact with each other through free will as they both form the ability to act at one’s discretion; through free will, chances turn to certainties as simple coincidences and choices turn to meaningful coincidences and then to actualities or experiences due to mental phenomenon based on the equity and synchronicity principles; the more strongly people believe in this phenomenon the higher they rate their ability to make decisions freely; the more satisfied they become with their decisions.

    In this case, more and more chances of making the right choices turn to coincidences and then to meaningful coincidences and then to experiences and they work more like inhered human rightor privileges rather than a leap of faith for someone to feel a complete sense of freedom by constantly striving for inner peace or balance through free will.

    After the collective upliftment of human consciousness, chance, choice, and free will become more of an inborn right itself; the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the right timing to get to know spiritual love and enjoy its greatest good; by becoming spiritually awake; taking charge of destiny; finding the long-lost “other half”, and finally becoming complete at the final step on the top of the ladder of love as the ultimate destination and end cause.

    Finally, life as reality is a state of consciousness (intellectual and behavioral characteristics, problem analysis, data analysis, and Judgment) having substance and experiencing existence.

    Consciousness is a cognitive or behavioral system that is mainly based on the:

        • duality principle through critical thinking (combining cognitive, and emotional intelligence into a whole – of the opposing forces as chance, and choice),
        • equivalence principle (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of ability as an equalizing factor) through analytical thinking (analytical intelligence, objective thinking filtering and assessing relevant information and interpreting chances as being equal in value, worth, or function),
        • equality principle through synthetic thinking (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of response-to-ability or responsibility as an equalizing factor) through synthetic intelligence, subjective-objective, and reasonable justification of equating choices as being equal in status, rights, or opportunities),
        • The equity principle reflects the basic principle of the golden mean striving for inner peace as the balance between two extremes through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the resonance principle of balancing chances as coincidences having substance and choices as meaningful coincidences (causes or events) and then experiences (effects or a sequence of events) through action-reaction forces and free will (nonconscious intelligence)
        • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause due to the resonance principle by relating the causally unrelated events (yet have some other unknown connection); through this principle, causes as coincidences turn to events or fate, and experiences as effects turn into a sequel of events or destiny (causal intelligence, Cause = Effect = Actual Solution)
        • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for achieving and maintaining inner peace attained by the causality principle – as the balance between two extremes – by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

    Duality means the quality or state of having two different forces (divine masculine and divine feminine energies) or elements of love (through the ladder of love) and loving someone or something (through the ladder of fear of love) to create a spiritual-emotional closeness. That is to motivate people to work to stay consciously in a place of love rather than in a place of fear.

    However, fear itself is not a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much someone cares. Scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

    Duality is woven into the very fabric of life for a reason: to teach people that every aspect of life is created through a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces or elements of love and fear (of love) and how to elevate the ladder of love as chances of success in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love as chances of experiencing success through choices and the exertion of action-reaction forces and free will.

    The duality principle is a state of the combination of two opposing or competing concepts or groups such as feelings and emotions, spirit and soul, spirituality and carnality, self and others, and chances and choices through the critical way of thinking.

    According to the duality principle love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos as an inborn right or chance) is an active force (divine masculine energy) a positive affective stimulus that triggers joy and pleasure as a chance or a cause for change

    Fear of love (asking for experiencing spiritual love to the maximum degree as a choice through free will) is a reactive force to joy and pleasure (divine feminine energy) a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure to resist or sustain change.

    The Equivalence Principle equates an emotion to a feeling as opposite or antagonistic forces through the analytical way of thinking by equating a subjective qualitative measure of love (as a condition) to possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies; treats equally love as a virtue, and through purpose (as intention or an actualization force), turns it into a cause (a provable solution).

    The Equality Principle treats fear of love as a moral, which through meaning (as something meant as a reaction to an action, or intended), and turns it into an effect (an actual result deriving from a response-to-ability as an equalizing factor) by subjectiveobjective problem and data analysis, and reasonable justification. In this way, a new common equilibrium point is attained.

    According to the Equity Principle feelings and emotions are balanced gaining both timing and momentum after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship where they finally form the actual solution as a single event deriving from a single meeting point of:

        • the ability to exercise choice through action-reaction forces and free will as a human’s birthright or privilege.
        • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love and help) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love or help) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
        • to be free to accept love and offer help from/to others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
        • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
        • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love and help to others (supply or offer love and help as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
        • to be responsible (response-able) for returning the love and help as a reward for the love and help you receive from others (demand love or help in return for the love or help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
        • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
        • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

    Inner peace means finding your peace of mind by attaining happiness, contentment, and bliss no matter how difficult things get in your life; it reflects the equilibrium point of self-visualization – self conceptualization (action-reaction)self-inspection – self-introspection (ability-responsibility) and self-actualization – self-imagination (cause-effect) by following the basic principle of the golden mean.

    According to the equity principle, attaining or achieving inner peace or balance is only possible through the spirit-soul-mind-body connection through the intersection equilibrium point of the spiritual-emotional-mental-physical axes at the center of the heart by balancing chance and choice through action-reaction forces and free will (where – to be – as a cause, timing or space coincides with – to exist – as an effect, momentum or time, with – meant to be – forming an actual solution as space-time or the present moment).

    According to the causality principle, all real events necessarily have a cause; by perceiving the actual solution either as a single event (conceived by consciousness as life, meaning, event, or fate) or as an ongoing process, a sequence of circumstances or events (conceived by consciousness as a living experience, a coherent reality, purpose or destiny) where always by default cause equates with effect.

    The innate desire to complete ourselves is fulfilled by loving and helping others until finding the long-lost “other half” (as Plato suggests) as a mechanism on the road to blissful love that reflects the supreme concept of beauty as the ultimate prize, that is the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) through constant empowerment and upliftment of human consciousness maintained by the synchronicity principle.

    The constant adjustment of their alignment through the above mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance between two extremes is attained by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium) through the love-in-love equilibrium point of the love-in-love curves as balancing factors.

    Real-Life Examples & Remarks


    Ps. In order to better comprehend the important concepts of this significant topic here is an example:
    THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE IN PRACTICE
    Just imagine a sailing boat where love is the wind that blows. Loving someone or something through the fear of love is its sails. The equilibrium point is the imaginary alignment of the angle of the craft, the sails, and the rudder as the touching point with the surface of the water so as to push the sailing boat forward.
    Resilience is the character, quality, and endurance of the craft against unexpected weather conditions and the fury of the waves of the sea.
    Behavior is the compass that always points toward the dynamic blissful equilibrium of love as the port of the ultimate destination.
    The skills of the captain in order to keep the craft on the right track are also equally important to the choice of the appropriate path, the experience of the adventure of the trip, and the final destination.
    It is easier though for the captain to try paths with calm waters and not to go against the wind.
    However, without wind and sails, the craft doesn't move at all. This is the central idea and the significant point that we have to keep in mind:
    No love means no wind and no change; no fear means no sailing no 
    choice and no movement; that further means no port and no tranquility; no purpose and no meaning of life; a missed opportunity to find the port of the blissful equilibrium of love in this lifetime.
    But there is no reason to worry. A missed opportunity is not a lost cause but a chance for spiritual upliftment on the ladder of love until the next momentum for movement arrives.
    According to Plato the ultimate destination of humanity is the knowledge of the essence of beauty and not the love itself. That is to apprehend the form of beauty in a kind of vision.
    Visualization is a picture of the mind. Conceptualization is the formation of an idea. Imagination is a mental faculty and is beyond conceivable. In this sense, the essence of the beauty of love is to acknowledge that conceptualization, visualization, and imagination all come together in order to become a whole; What we do not conceive with our senses is also another form of reality as long as we can imagine it as an idea in a form that we choose from. 
    This is an elevated state of consciousness where we become able to overcome our doubts, worries, and fears and consciously sense the true, the real, and the authentic all at once; that is to finally apprehend the essence of the beauty of love in its all forms at once that's actually the beauty of the knowledge of the essence of love in all its forms. 
    The beauty of the knowledge and acceptance of the essence of self and others with no distinction and judgment; by expressing freely our uniqueness, and the authenticity of ourselves, and by accepting with gratitude coincidences (the occurrence of events that seem to have no cause) as synchronicities (the coincidental occurrence of meaningful coincidences or events) in our life by understanding that everything happens for a reason; as omens of always being on the right path by being in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”. 
    That is actually the whisper of spiritual love calling us to the top of the ladder of love; this is exactly where our earthly reality vibrates; at that level, we just have to learn how to be spiritually selfish that is to focus on ourselves during our spiritual awakening so that we can raise our vibration and finally become a conscious co-creator of our own earthly reality!
    ---------------------------------
    Intellect vs Intelligence

    Intellect: the ability to think in a logical way.
    Intellect refers to capacity: logical functions of the human mind at present of what a person can do in a controlled environment. Logic is about validity or accuracy: what follows from what and why.
    When the word 'ability' is used, it refers to the potential of the person in doing/achieve something, and there's a high chance that they might successfully do so.
    Intelligence: the ability to learn, understand or deal with new or difficult situations.
    Intelligence is about reliability or consistency, results-oriented: answers to how to attain something.
    Intelligence refers to capability: rational (good reasons to believe) functions of the human mind of what could be done under the appropriate conditions and skills.
    The Latin word rationalis, means reasonable to do things based on logic as opposed to impulse actional decision making.
    Rationality is about the quality of being based on or in accordance with reason and logic; the quality or state of being agreeable to reason.
    Rationality is the result of critical thing which often includes unbiased reflection, goal-oriented skills, flexible insight, and real-world interaction.
    The difference between capacity and capability is that the first is the ability that exists at present while the latter refers to the higher level of ability that could be demonstrated under the right conditions.
    Performance refers to what a person does in his or her daily environment, the actual solution to a problem, or to the attainment of a goal.
    But when the word 'capability' is used, it refers to the potential of the person to do something though they might not be able to do it successfully.
    In summary, Intellect refers to logic, capacity, being able, concept, feelings, love, truth, ability, order, means, planning, validity, quantity, provable solution, and cause.
    Intelligence refers to rationality, future potential, capability, emotions, fear, idea, belief, validity, responsibility, ways, acting, reliability, quality, actual result, and effect.
    For a solution to be valid, it must be reliable. While validity is associated with accuracy, reliability is all about consistency. Therefore, whenever a result is unreliable it cannot be valid. However, a result can be reliable without being valid.
    Reliability outweighs validity, fear outweighs love, capabilities outweigh abilities, effect outweighs cause, capabilities outweigh capacities, responsibilities outweigh abilities, emotions outweigh feelings, and finally intelligence outweighs intellect.
    It is obvious that the system is constantly out of balance. Performance as an actual solution is misvalued because either intellect is underestimated or intelligence is overvalued. A new or different way of thinking and behaving is more than necessary.
    -------------------------------
    Knowledge vs Experience
    Your life reflects your views, habits, attitudes, beliefs, thoughts, fears, worries, and perceptions. And whether or not you’re aware of it, all these things come together to shape your mindset, who you are, and the trajectory of your life.
    Lao Tzu also said, “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
    How is knowledge and experience related?
    Thus, by knowledge you get experiences and by experiences, you get enlarged vision. knowledge is about the information you have, and experience is how you connect that particular information. Knowledge is the result of experience (practical) or education (theoretical).
    To know is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. Socrates
    Experience comes with time, exposure, and practice. Knowledge, on the other hand, is founded upon the accumulation of information through either experience or education. It can be taught, unlike experience.
    Knowledge is Useless Without Experience Knowledge without experience is just information.
    Albert Einstein said, “Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world; all knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it.” He also said, “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.”

    Wisdom vs Intelligence
    Intelligence: the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity.
    Wisdom: the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight; scholarly knowledge or learning, the wisdom of the schools. Logical thought processes involve critical thinking, and using critical thinking skills involves a bit of logic.

    What is the difference between logic and reasoning?
    Reasoning is associated with the acts of thinking and cognition and involves the use of one's intellect.

    What is Rational Decision Making?
    Rational decision-making leverages objective data, logic, and analysis instead of subjectivity and intuition to help solve a problem or achieve a goal. It's a step-by-step model that helps you identify a problem, pick a solution between multiple alternatives, and find an answer.
    However, instead of Rational Decision-Making humans tend to act and behave with Impulsivity; that is the tendency to act without thinking. To a degree, this kind of behavior is common, especially in children or teenagers, and isn’t necessarily a sign of trouble. It’s typical for them to act impulsively because their brains are still developing. But in some cases, it can be a part of certain conditions.
    Wisdom as knowledge gradually leads to self-knowledge: in philosophy, “self-knowledge” standardly refers to knowledge of one's own mental states—that is, of what one is feeling or thinking, or what one believes or desires.
    Aristotle said: Knowing Yourself is The Beginning of All Wisdom. Self-knowledge is the first and main ingredient in leading the life you want.
    Self-knowledge is about understanding your real (and true) needs, desires, goals, weaknesses, and everything else that makes you tick. It requires a deep understanding of your past and current self.
    Growth in life and career starts with self-knowledge. Knowing yourself lets you live the life you truly want — you know who you are, what you want, and what brings out the best in you.
    The phrase, “Know thyself,” is centuries old, but it’s still relevant today. Research from psychologist Daniel Goleman shows that self-awareness is crucial for all levels of success.
    If you don’t have a full understanding of who you are, you will continue to make decisions against your true self. Knowing yourself will give you a sense of power over yourself.
    Knowing yourself as Self-concept or self-confidence are the two most important aspects of our behavior and personality. One's self-concept is the collection of beliefs about one's own self and self-confidence means having faith in our own abilities to accomplish a work.
    Instead of forcing things to happen for you, find yourself first. Follow your own true north and let your life flow. While you live, while it’s in your power, seize the opportunity right now and build a better relationship with yourself.
    Self-confidence is how you appear to feel about yourself.
    Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. Those with positive self-esteem seem naturally confident.

    What is the meaning of powerfulness?
    Definitions of powerfulness: possession of controlling influence. "Individuals are given empowerment to create their own dwellings. Empowerment means people having power and control over their own lives. People get the support they need that is right for them.
    Empowerment means that people are equal citizens. They are respected and confident in their communities. the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights. Personal empowerment assumes no such power but recognizes complete responsibility for self and the choices made by self.


    What is the meaning of helpfulness?

    Reasoning as Experience gradually leads to helpfulness: the property of providing useful assistance. types: avail, help, service. a means of serving. type of: usefulness, utility. the quality of being of practical use.
    The relationship with yourself is one of the most important relationships in your life. The big idea here is to change your life for good and live life on your own terms, you first need to know who you really are.
    A happy and better life starts with you. But if you don’t know to look at yourself in the mirror — or refuse to — then you haven’t done the foundational work necessary to even start designing the life you want.
    You owe it to yourself to find the real you. The path to your success starts with a critical look in the mirror. Self-awareness opens the door to wisdom.
    The sooner you consciously examine and acknowledge your strengths, weaknesses, personal truth and most importantly what makes you come alive, the sooner you can stop hindering your personal growth.

    Fate or Destiny?
    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FATE AND DESTINY The term fate “moira” in Greek means "what has been said". Thus, fate is based on people's belief system that there is an order-uniformity in the universe that cannot be changed, no matter how hard we may try and struggle. Our ancient ancestors believed that the three deities (moirae) - Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos - or the three Fates, were the ones who decided the final course of human beings, not taking into account their will or their belief in something better than they themselves could bring about. On a spiritual level, fate (moira) is the inevitable that always materializes (pre-determined to materialize, to be or to have substance) and will continue to materialize when we ignore our own life and do nothing to reconnect with our soul or true nature. When we abandon the course of our lives to fate, we are basically surrendering control of it to others, as well as to external situations. When we make no effort - nothing, that is, to consciously change and evolve, what happens is fatal (moireo). That is the "play" of fate. Destiny “pepromeno” in Greek, on the other hand, denotes more positive associations than fate. In Latin, the word referring to destiny "destinare" means "that which is fixed". Although this definition also refers to the idea of pre-determined events, destiny is something we can shape and change if we will and commit ourselves (pre-destined to experience existence or to exist). On the opposite side of fate, there is that element of choice in destiny. Qualities such as courage, compassion, willpower, and patience can greatly assist in changing destiny. Fate vs Destiny Fate is what we are unable to change. Destiny, on the other hand, is that which we plan and intend to do so that we do not surrender to the randomness of fate. While fate, on the one hand, is precisely what happens when we do not take responsibility for life, destiny, on the other hand, is nothing more than what happens when there is the necessary commitment to further growth - that is, to have the will to take risks (through choice and free will). The well-known popular saying "...it is in your destiny to succeed" is only achieved through active and conscious commitments and decisions, with patience, perseverance, continuity, and consistency. As it is now understood, fate is what materializes when the course of life is left to others, who, along with the external circumstances they are subjected to, direct and determine the course and outcome of life. It is extremely important to never doubt or forget that there are infinite possibilities in life. Fulfilling destiny means consciously redirecting the flow of our lives always in the specific direction we desire. While subjectively this means having and maintaining control and choice, such a thing does not objectively exist-such a thing as control or choice because the concept of "I" and "others" do not exist except in the mind. So in this way, the answer to "we have control over our lives" is paradoxical, because we both have and do not have control over the course of our lives. It's a bit more complicated than that. How is Destiny Fulfilled? I think it is time to look at how destiny is fulfilled. As long as it is consciously sought to be deciphered, developed, and evolved into a spiritual one, that is to consciously realize that destiny is somehow self-fulfilled (meant to experience existence or simply meant to exist). While we are still operating at the level of ourselves, that is, our personality, our character, and our behavior, it is extremely important that we work so that we can take charge of our destiny. On spiritual paths, destiny is closely tied to the overall course of life, all the way to the end. When taking responsibility for life is chosen, destiny is also actively shaped, rather than simply leaving life to its fate. Fulfilling destiny involves the conscious development of a relationship with the deeper inner self and maturation on a spiritual-intellectual, emotional, mental, and physical level. However, if there is a will (determination) to achieve it to the fullest extent possible, there is a way: We understand and deal with ourselves. We start now to reflect on our fate of who/what we are, that is to consciously understand where and how we are going through spiritual awakening keeping always in mind, that the course of our life is somehow self-actualized or self-realized (meant also to have substance and not simply meant to be). Are Fate and Destiny Forces? Destiny is actually the reflection of fate. Fate and destiny are interaction forces; a balanced interaction towards a new situation or occurrence in which two or more objects or events as a cause act upon one another to produce a new effect by providing and accepting love and help. Therefore, fate furthermore as a cause reflects feelings, actions, truths, virtues, purpose, timing, character, possibilities, spiritual love, space, abilities, intent, certainties, and self-realization. Destiny as an effect reflects emotions, reactions, values, morals, momentum, meaning, behavior, time, probabilities, fear of love, actualities, and self-fulfillment. That further means that there are no real distinct boundaries between fate and destiny, past and future, cause and effect, chance and choice as they all constitute parts of the same procedure or the mechanism of how consciousness works through free will. In reality, consciousness always evolves by living consciously in the present moment (neither in the past nor in the future) where everything materializes, happens, or co-exists (always meant to have purpose and meaning) as they both form and reflect the actual solutions to any problems, desires or challenges that someone can face in life through free will.
    Fulfillment is a feeling of achievement that leads to happiness. Contentment is an emotion of completion as a state of satisfaction. Fulfillment reflects fullness. Lack of fulfillment leads to emptiness. Fullness and emptiness are relative terms.
    Fullness declares space as momentum. Emptiness declares time as timing. Time is an illusion a simple idea. Space is a simple notion. Nothingness is their intersection point (space-time). It reflects whatever comes to our consciousness as a creation (pan) whenever there exists or ever existed (holon).
    Living consciously into nothingness is the meeting point of the spirit and soul and the real meaning of blissfulness; the ultimate prize of living (purposefully) a meaningful life by being present in the present moment (into nothingness). Fate as a Choice, Faith or Right? Therefore, in order to complete ourselves is to finally know, and sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence as an inhered right or life's purpose (through the ladder of love) and to experience spiritual love (through the ladder of fear of love) as life's meaning through action-reaction forces and free will as well, both at the same time and to the same density or degree. Purpose and meaning of life form together the actual solution that reflects both the intended materialization and the ultimate fulfillment of a deep need or desire as an inborn right or privilege rather than a forced by life's circumstances choice or even as a leap of faith. In this way, things will set right with no more drama, pain, or misfortune in line with personal virtues (by exploiting purposefully the best or strongest abilities) and thus experiencing existence according to the collective morals (as a meaningful response to own abilities) in a way as they were always meant to be. That further means to live and exist where the authentic or pure meaning of life through destiny reflects the intended fate as the true personal potential and not as a simple choice based on a leap of faith. In this way fate as spiritual inheritage and destiny as a conquest act upon one another (fate as a purpose of life sets coincidences as destiny and destiny in turn as a meaning of living as synchronicities determines fate) to produce a new effect as interaction forces through free will: by giving space to an ongoing spiritual evolution through the present moment as an absolute solution, by finding finally the long lost "other half" where the ultimate bliss resides, by sensing or knowing of divine Kallos both as a spiritual love, inheritance or spiritual gift (by exploiting the best abilities) and by finally experiencing spiritual love as a prize or conquest (by exercising the best abilities to the fullest). --------------------------------- What is the golden mean Nicomachean Ethics? THE GOLDEN MEAN IN ARISTOTLE'S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS The golden mean or golden middle way is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency; it is an age-old principle which holds that virtue lies between the extremes. According to the principle, each moral virtue is a mean or lies between extremes of pleasure or of action -- doing or feeling too much or too little. The absolute mean is different from the mean as it is relative to the individual. It appeared in Greek thought at least as early as the Delphic maxim "nothing in excess", was discussed in Plato's Philebus. Aristotle analyzed the golden mean in the Nicomachean Ethics Book II: That virtues of character can be described as means. It was subsequently emphasized in Aristotelian virtue ethics. For example, in the Aristotelian view, courage is a virtue, but if taken to excess would manifest as rashness, and, in deficiency, cowardice (see the table bellow: Sphere Of Action Or Feeling, Excess, Mean, Deficiency). The Writer's Point of View: According to the writer's point of view the ultimate purpose and meaning of life for humanity is to finally reach and maintain this desirable middle of golden mean as an equilibrium point of a spiritual mental state of pure bliss by consciously offering help (not giving) and start accepting (not receiving) love through a transactional activity and not by exchanging love to help (an act by giving love and receiving help in return).

    The term transaction comes from traditional economic science and refers to the transactional activity between two or more persons. Transactional activity is an agreement between parties to exchange goods, services or monetary consideration (or different goods in the original transactional society which has now been abolished) to meet the needs of both parties. At the equilibrium point that is the center of everything there is an infinite wellspring of creativity and love (The Golden Mean Flow Chart). One fundamental purpose of human life is to cut through all the layers of the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) as levels of challenges by levering the most efficient character facets while exploiting the most efficient to each and every case behavioral tactics, and to uncover this wellspring within yourself, then let it flow through you. You are a musical instrument, and the purpose of life is to allow the eternal Music of Being to play you, producing a unique song only you can produce by following the principle of golden mean mentioned above by consciously offering and accepting love and help (instead of simply or mechanically giving and receiving love and help). In this way love as your own energy comes back as pleasurable pure essence or music at the very core of your existence.

    Quintessence of life

    Pemptousia: It is the quintessence of the dynamic equilibrium between the various forms of life and the various ecosystems.

    The Greek philosophers from Ionia considered held that there were four elements or essences (ousies) in nature: earth, water, fire, and air. Aristotle added ether to this foursome, which would make it the fifth (pempto) essence, pemptousia, or quintessence.

    According to Aristotle, this essence exhibits many properties: it is un-generated, un-aging, incorruptible, eternal, constant, and unchanging. Moreover, it is located in the high levels of the heavens (in the “very high area”) where the divinity resides.

    The Greek philosophers of later antiquity (Alexander Aphrodisieus, Simplicius, and others), as well as Byzantines such as John Philoponus and many Western Europeans, interpreted, amended, and enhanced Aristotle’s theory.

    As a final result, the pempti ousia, the quinta essentia of the Western Europeans, came to signify the basic essence of every being, the core around which the being’s existence is structured.

    Bringing all of them together we can conclude that:
    1. the conscious mind is related to the element of air (oxygen) reflecting spiritual love as an action; most of the mass of living organisms is oxygen as a component of water, the major constituent of lifeforms; oxygen is continuously replenished in Earth's atmosphere by photosynthesis, which uses the energy of sunlight to produce oxygen from water and carbon dioxide.
    2. the unconscious reflecting emotional love as a reaction is related to the element of fire (hydrogen) and the product of the reaction is hydrogen chloride (HCl);  in our sun, hydrogen is fused to helium and the energy that's released in this process is what makes the sun "glow" and emit energy,
    3. the preconscious mind reflecting powerfulness is related to the element of water as an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (H 2O), and through the element of water is directly related both to the element of air (oxygen) and the conscious mind as well with the element of fire (hydrogen) and the subconscious mind,
    4. the subconscious mind reflecting helpfulness is related to the element of Earth: About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water and through oxygen that is too chemically reactive to remain a free element in air without being continuously replenished by the photosynthetic action of living organisms that in turn use the energy of sunlight, its directly related to the element of fire (hydrogen) and the unconscious mind, and finally
    5. the nonconscious mind reflecting divine love is related to the element of ether: Nonconscious mind reflects any mental processes that go on that an individual is unaware of; they are not thought about consciously. The rarefied element formerly believed to fill the upper regions of space; the upper regions of spaceHeavens
    The element of ether as divine love is the quintessence of life as the dynamic love equilibrium between spiritual and emotional love that is felt as blissful love equilibrium and is related to the blood: the red liquid that circulates in the heart (the muscle at the center of the circulation system), arteries, capillaries, and veins of humans and other animals, carrying oxygen to and carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body contributing to the heart Consciousness.

    Plasma is the main component of blood and consists mostly of water, with proteins, ions, nutrients, and wastes mixed in. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide. Platelets are responsible for blood clotting. White blood cells are part of the immune system and function in the immune response. In this way, blood through the nonconscious mind is related to the conscious-unconscious and preconscious-subconscious minds as a single unit felt as divine love or dynamic blissful love equilibrium as heart consciousness.

    Heart consciousness is that intelligence beyond thinking; this is the level of consciousness that flows through the heart. The heart knows what is right or not. What is true and what is not; the heart always knows what is best for inner growth and spiritual evolvent; Heart consciousness represents divine love, spiritual awakening and growth, the Higher self, and its superior purpose and ultimate meaning in life.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    P.S. This article is much longer than a usual one. It is not by accident. It happens for a reason. As everything else in this world. The reason is simple. It's a tiny honor to the Great Hymn of Love. "The silver lining". 

    Some scientists or gurus on the subject around the world insist lately that there is enough evidence that personality creates personal reality. This according to my humble opinion and because of my personal research is half correct and half wrong. This reflects exactly the play of duality. Every concept comes with its counterpart image, even ourselves.

    Personality is basically a concept and an idea. Surprisingly the same happens with reality. It's not only about sex male or female but it's also about it. It has to do with those two opposing archetypal energies though. Divine masculine and feminine energies. It's so confusing but so real. It happens for a very special reason. Doubt is the key to unlocking reality. To create and sustain reality.

    Doubt reflects duality. Fear and be afraid. But fear is actually the absence of love. So what is the difference between those two phrases? None! The only difference is that they refer to a concept and an idea, one is the reflection of the other as an illusion. It's actually misleading, a trick of consciousness, nothing less and nothing more. A dirty trick that is a key to unlocking the door to the theater of a reality show, but with purpose and meaning.

    Personal reality reflects exactly your personality. Character is attitude and behavior is perspective. Sides of the same coin. Chance and choice. Fate and destiny. Love and fear. Truth and lie. Right and wrong. Day and night. White and black. Sun and moon. Original and imitation. Prototype and idol. The reality that you believe that you are in that you see and feel is nothing more than an optical illusion and its reflection both at the same time.

    Reality is just a glimpse into the past and the future through the present moment, that is something much more than what you believe as a biological child of your parents and something much less than what you think as a spiritual child of the divine. Everything is one. Everything is connected. Children of love and romance. Of masculine and feminine divine energy. But life is neither in unity nor in division. The connecting link is always the present moment.

    Life lies between concepts and ideas. Between the lines. Between chance and choice and cause and effect. Life is the causal effect. Personality does not coincide nor create reality. Reality is both an illusion and a reflection, as the two aspects of personality, within the prism of the present moment.

    It's not really what you feel and what you think, as many believe, but the attitude and behavior toward the facts, conditions, and situations. Therefore nothing is created but neither is destroyed. Life and death are about sensations and illusions. However, nothing constitutes an objective reality. Just a lesson down on earth. An adventure in practice. An impression of reality.

    As long as you live you actually exist between two worlds. One of the alive and one of the dead. But you are not part of none of those worlds either. You live and exist right there in between but you are not really consciously aware of it. And this is because of personality and consciousness.

    So, there is no reason to worry. You cannot die but you can still live. And this happens because of the presence of personality. Cherish personality. Take care of it as something precious. As a divine present. But do not forget that you are not what your personality dictates. Personality is just the vehicle. You're something much more and much greater. A personality is just an act in the theater of the divine.

    You are a persona but not the person you think and believe you are. Keep in mind and accept your role with stoic behavior. Do not despair. Be optimistic. Which means to be realistic. Do not forget your origin but mostly your holy destination. Claim back your birthright, your earthy power as your divine mission. And above all always remember.

    You are the silver lining!

    Divine love as a feeling (spiritual love):

    Declaration of compliance toward an agreement:

    “I, the divine masculine energy, I hereby declare to the best of my knowledge, that I qualify to get to know or sense divine love as beauty. Because, as an archetypal energy I possess all the necessary qualifications, and through my sincere and decisive purposeful actions,

    I am absolutely sure that by providing (acting or giving out) my deepest (eternal or everlasting) love, as a basic support, provable solution or cause (truth or worth), it will be well received and by the help (emotional love) offered in return my wish will be satisfied.

    As a consequence, I will finally receive an advantage as the state of having such support (benefit) and exercise my birthright to sense (live) divine love, not only as a chance event but also as a fulfilling living experience, as life’s superior right or purpose”.

    yourspiritualquest.com

    Love as a feeling or spiritual love is a type of love or force (feelings of affection toward spiritual-emotional connection that helps us find meaning and purpose in life containing divine masculine electric quantitative energy, property, or archetype).

    Spiritual love as a feeling ranges from selfish to selfless love.

    Love as an element (of spiritual love):

    Love as an element or quality of spiritual love is also a primary feeling and the most important or final step on the rung of the ladder of love.

     

    Divine love as an emotion (emotional love):

    Declaration of conformity against (honoring) an agreement:

    “Me, the divine feminine energy, I hereby confirm to the best of my belief, that I deserve to experience the existence of divine love as excellence to satisfy my archetypal need to defeat my deepest fears (that derive from the deep need of being loved and admired).

    After meeting existence as an actuality, a meaningful coincidence or experience as the ultimate meaning of life (actual result or existence as excellence),

    I will finally become able to complete my dream by returning (support  value as utility (emotional love) as an appreciation for the worth or truth provided, through my gentle by-nature reaction (providing unfailing support by reverse auction – opposite or contrary in direction),

    hoping for it to be well accepted (lived) as a privilege, a benefit, a distinct living experience, as a matter of fact (being plain, straightforward, or unemotional)”.

    yourspiritualquest.com

    Divine love (emotional – spiritual love combined within the whole):

    Agreement between the parties of divine love as emotional and spiritual love; a contract is concluded:

    “If the parties intend to be finally bound, they reach a sufficient agreement. Conclusion of contract with the offer (help as a sacrifice offered for the provided value as utility) and its acceptance (seing the truth or worth of an action as benefit).

    A contract can be concluded by the final realization of the acceptance of the offer by both parties, combining within the whole, forming finally divine love as a single unit, an actual solution, causal effect, a coherent (blissful) life as a fulfilling and meaningful living experience;

    a personal reality of a distinct purpose on an always higher plane (purposeful, fulfilling, or fated) with unique meaning (meaningful, worthwhile, or destined) that reflects the personality of an individual (character and behavior – the unique patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that distinguish a person from others)”.

    yourspiritualquest.com

    Emotional love or love as an emotion or force is both:

    • a primary feeling (loving someone or something) reflecting the emotional needs of a person (as a strong feeling of affection and concern toward another person as arising from kinship or close friendship or a strong feeling of affection and concern for another person based on divine feminine magnetic qualitative energy, property, or archetype) and
    • a primary emotion accompanied by sexual attraction (falling in love with someone or something reflecting also the emotional needs of a person).

    Emotional love as an emotion (falling in love with someone or something) ranges from fearful to fearless love (self-love).

    Fear of – falling in – love is also an emotion (as another element of emotional love) and the main step that works as an initial barrier that turns spiritual love and changes its status from positive affective stimulus (spiritual love) to negative affective stimulus (fear of love) reflecting the ladder of the fear of love that is an opposing force to the ladder of love in humans. 

    Any other feelings and emotions lay in between and interact through the primary ones and especially through emotions such as loving someone as having a double quality (sensed both as a strong feeling – loving someone – and experienced as emotion as fear of – falling in – love or simply fear of love).

    All other types of love, feelings, and emotions exist under these two primary ones: either love as an emotion comes from a place of fear or a place of love.

    • Spiritual love (divine masculine energy) is a type of love or force as part of divine love as a single unit (bid to know or sense divine Kallos by the exertion of love as a force or means of change – exchange – or leverage) and
    • loving someone or something as another type or force (emotional love or divine feminine energy) as part of divine love as a single unit (ask to experience spiritual love to its maximum potential by overcoming the initial step or barrier that is the fear of love) are opposing (acting in opposition; opposing) and not opposites (moving in opposite directions).
    • Kallos (a Greek word meaning beautiful or excellence) is a sensational stimulus as a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially sight.
    • Sensational stimuli are processed by the cognitive mechanisms that generate the appropriate mixture of positive affective stimuli (love) and negative affective stimuli (fear of love).
    • Love (as an element of spiritual love and a step on the ladder of love) and fear of love (as an element of emotional love and a step of the ladder of fear of love) are dualities; a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces by providing and accepting love and help.
    • Love is a gut feeling; an instinct; an inborn impulse or motivation; an active force; an instinctive feeling; a mental state that is unleashed by the senses; a positive affective stimulus that triggers feelings of joy, and pleasure; and a cause for change.
    • Positive affective stimuli range from selfish love, which tends to prioritize one’s desires and needs above the needs and desires of their partner and the relationship to true love, which is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment.
    • Loving someone or something is both a feeling and an emotion; in this case, a feeling is an objective emotional state (working as a bridge between feelings and emotions); an emotion is a subjective emotional state.
    • Loving someone or something as an objective emotional state; sticking to the facts and disregarding emotions; keeping an emotional distance; an idea; a reactive force; a mental state brought on by neurophysiological change.
    • Loving someone or something is also a subjective emotional state based on influences by personal feelings interpretations or prejudices; the fear of love as the first step draws negative emotions of rejection that is actually an illusion; a false idea or belief; a state of experiencing; a misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience; or a misleading image presented to the visionan intuitive emotion distinguished from reasoning or knowledge; a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure.
    • Negative affective stimuli range from fearful love which is a threat to our physical, emotional, or psychological well-being to fearless or self-love which is a genuine relationship that is not dominated by the ego.

     

    Opposing means to be in conflict or competition with something.

    The ancient Greek word Kallos essentially means beauty or excellence and is associated with both the female and the male sex.

    The prototype is associated with beauty, the male sex or white, and the idol with excellence, the female sex or black.

    Black and white as archetypes are opposing and not opposite.  They are “non-colors”. Black is created when there is no light at all, unlike all other colors, which are only present when there is light. White is actually the sum of all the colors of the sky arc, the iris, i.e. the primary and complementary or secondary colors together.

    Fear is only the absence of love. Fear is like darkness. The same is true about love and fear: love is light, white and fear is darkness, black.

    Kallos is an ideal that developed in ancient Greek thought, referred to it as a combination of physical appearance and the virtues of the soul.

    Love reflects white and breeds positive feelings like joy, peace, and satisfaction. Fear of love reflects black and breeds negative emotions like anger, guilt, and sadness.

     

    The opposite is something completely different of a contrary kind e.g. the opposite of yes is no.

     

     

    “Duality means a state of having two different parts, forces, elements or qualities such as:

    love as a feeling (feeling of affection having substance as a strong drive, force or cause) that is another element, quality or step on the ladder of love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos, as beauty or excellence, at its highest degree or worth by the exertion of love as a force or means of change – exchange – or leverage), as an offer, effort or attempt and

    falling – in-love as an emotion (intimacy, experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) that is the main emotional element, quality or step on the ladder of the fear of love (ask to experience spiritual love to its highest value or potential by exercising the fear of love as an opposing force to love or resistance to change) and also as a way of reinforcing, experiencing or sustaining change as a transaction,

    which coexist in a balanced interaction as complementary opposing or conflicting forces of affection (tender attachment) combining with intimacy (engaged in, involving) within the whole, in order to create spiritual-emotional closeness”

    “Duality is based on a false conception that the idol is a form of the prototype (an image or representation) visible but without substance while in reality the idol mirrors the prototype (reflects a subjective image of deep respect or admiration on prototype) so that they both by combing constitute the experience of the existence of the prototype as an entity (existence of the prototype as actual result) that has substance (its idol as appearance or provable solution).

    In this way prototype with its idol always coexist (consciously-unconsciously) creating spiritual-emotional closeness as an actual solution (the appearance of the idol as a force of intimacy, fear of love, strong feelings, meaning, reflecting space through emotions as timing) combining with the existence of prototype (as force of affection, love, purpose reflecting time through feelings as momentum) or not at all”

    yourspiritualquest.com

     

    Affection as spiritual love and intimacy as emotional love are combined, joined,  or merged to form love (divine love) as a single unit or substance; combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of one another.

     

    Divine love as a combined single unit (atom) or substance consists also of two opposing elements, qualities, atoms, or forces: in love (in a state of strong emotional attachment and usually sexual attraction) combined with falling in love (being in love which is a part of life that many people want to experience).

    Divine love in turn (as a whole or atom) makes the world go round – literally – while is more permanent and long-lasting due to the nuclear energy process through fusion: The fusion of two atoms results in the production of an amount of heat, which is the “key” to energy production.

    Divine love, as a combined single unit (atom), then splits (is forced to break) and is divided into two or more groups, parts, atoms, or forces, especially into halves. Love is divided and shared especially into opposite or antagonistic parts, atoms or forces of resources and responsibilities (into means and ways as action-reaction forces by exchanging feelings to emotions).

    The nuclear energy produced is released through a process called nuclear fission, in which nuclei separate and release energy.

     

     

    In opposition, when we’re in a state of inner balanced interaction of competing forces we can also be in a place of love and fear of love at the same time interchangeably (as the two sides of the same coin – the principle of duality).

     

    Fear of love is not the absence of love. Like eros and sadness, love and fear of love are dualities that live in the same chamber of the heart. When we feel love, fear of love will rear its head”

    yourspiritualquest.com

     

    But why do people find it difficult to accept intense affection and appreciation? Some of them think that they are not worthy of being loved. Others have been hurt so much in love that they are afraid to open up again and deal wholeheartedly with another person. Everyone has created protective armor to protect themselves from being injured again. But love requires spiritual and emotional closeness and it only works when you take off your armor.

     

    “The degree of the level or stage of love depends directly on the density of the opposing fear of love

    yourspiritualquest.com

     

    Since you can feel either love or fear of love at the same time, you are going to have to actively or consciously choose one or the other. However, since many of us would likely rather be consciously in a place of love rather than a place of fear of love, we have to consciously act to be in that place, no matter what we choose.

     

    Love Significance, Love vs. Fear of Love, Chance, Choice, Synchronicity, and Free Will

     

    “Fear of love is the reflection of love as lie (value) is the reflection of truth (worth). Inclined by human nature to striving always for love and truth you become both the mirror image and an optical effect of this self-reflection at will”

    yourspiritualquest.com

     

    Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about (especially love as a quality of spiritual love that reflects divine love as divine beauty or excellence that is the actual source and the end course on the ladder of love) because it hasn’t fully experienced it yet.

    That’s why any trial for an explanation of its origin and utility throughout human history is partially correct or incomplete; Spiritual love as a feeling or truth, however, is perceived as worth, while fear of love as an emotion is perceived as its value, based mostly on the value system of an individual.

     

    In addition, humanity hasn’t realized that fear of love constitutes a necessary step as a trial that has to be overcome (it’s the first, the strongest, and most significant quality or step) toward the fulfillment of ourselves on the ladder of the fear of love as opposed to the ladder of love that reflects the desire to complete ourselves by finding the long-lost “other half”.

    That is to finally know, sense divine Kallos as divine love and then as spiritual love (beauty as having substance) and experience spiritual love (experiencing excellence as existence) both at the same time through synchronicity perceived and acknowledge them as meaningful coincidences or experiences.

     

    Kallos: An Ancient Greek Ideal for Beauty

     

    To love actually means to be willing to know or sense divine Kallos or love as spiritual love (having substance) and loving someone or something is asking to experience this spiritual love (experiencing existence). That further means:

     

    • the ability to exercise free will and choice as a human’s birthright or privilege.
    • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love as a mutual agreement to meet the needs of both parties) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
    • to be free to accept help from others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential honoring the mutual agreement) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
    • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
    • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love to others (supply or offer love as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
    • to be response-able to return the help as a reward for the love you receive from others (demand love in return for the help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
    • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
    • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

     

    Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation, striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes one of excess and one of deficiency, and maintaining inner peace or balance by exercising the synchronicity principle:

    • by freely giving love and receiving help (focused on doing or acting by taking charge) and
    • exchanging by offering back help for accepting love (by being passive and ready to compromise).

     

    According to the principle, you should aim for the chances as causes and motives (by being passive as a trait of the divine feminine energy) and understand how they relate to every situation, by looking for the effects of the choices as your reactions to actions (caused by the divine masculine energy), and handling the situation internally than externally by utilizing a more proactive and not reactive approach.

    Too much divine masculine energy can lead to a domineering nature (and even war) while too much divine feminine energy can lead to indecisiveness and not enough action.

     

    On the other hand, what would our lives be like if we were never afraid of anything? What risk would we take? The fear of love holds us back, many people do not realize how much it holds them back until they reach the end of their lives – and until then, it may be too late to do anything about it.

     

    “Striving for inner peace or balance reflects the basic principle of the golden mean, that is attained by balancing action-reaction, divine masculine and feminine energies, not only as equal or equivalent forces but also as transactional activities through free will, that is actually:

    attaining a state of equilibrium by equating an action force (as a chance of taking charge that is a condition by value, worth, or function – feeling, purpose, uncertainties, abilities) to a reaction force as a choice (by getting ready to compromise that is a state by status, rights or opportunities – emotion, meaning, certainties, responsibilities)

    reforming an opposing to antagonistic relationship and then to a transactional activity, by taking a leap of faith as an act to allow someone to start anew and feel completely free, as a reward”

    “Maintaining inner peace or balance is attained by exercising the synchronicity principle by offering help (by offering someone the choice to compromise as an act of sacrifice to the provided value as a utility), and by accepting love (by accepting the chance for taking charge by seeing the truth or the worth of an act as a benefit) and through a transactional activity to meet the needs of both parties (of love as affection, feelings, chance, an act, truth, worth, value or utility and help as intimacy, strong feelings, emotion, choice, reaction,  or benefit) as purpose and meaning of life”

    yourspiritualquest.com

    Striving for inner peace or balance is attained by balancing chances to choices as action-reaction forces in stages or phases by turning:

    • chances to uncertainties (chances as possibilities grow in a space of uncertainty as its main purpose – not knowing what comes next is also good) 
    • choices to certainties (choices as certainties constitute the meaning of the existence of the quality of probabilities of being reliably true)
    • certainties to abilities
    • uncertainties to responsibilities 
    • abilities to virtues (as feelings, skills, a way of living, something that can be learned through experience), 
    • responsibilities to morals (as emotions, experience, or excellence) 
    • by relating virtues (as reason, feelings, or causes) to our desires (as morals, emotions, or effects) 

    Chances and choices before turning to uncertainties-certainties are expressed as possibilities-probabilities by offering love (through feelings) and experienced by accepting help (through emotions).

    After turning to uncertainties-certainties become opposing or competing forces (possibilities as chances for actions and then as uncertainties or probabilities as choices of the chances for action and then as certainties).

    After turning around to certainties-uncertainties, they turn to the opposing or competing forces as abilities-responsibilities, by relating virtues and morals, as causes and effects (or actualities). 

    In this way, by converting the status from chances and choices to certainties-actualities as succession events (through cognitive intervention) accepting love and offering help are the new opposing forces forming a balanced relationship, through a transactional activity, as purpose and meaning of life; Cognitive intervention is actually by taking action for something to occur as a trigger or a cause or an impulsive action or choice between chances towards success or opportunities, or just happen (an effect, a succession event as a reaction to action or choice between chances of success). 

    Impulsive choice and free will are actually taking a leap of faith (a leap over logic, reason, and emotional boundaries based mostly on psychological factorsa belief in something uncertain; outweighing the uncertainty of an ambiguous future result or effect by making an impulsive choice as a false certainty or cause at present) in order:

    • to discover who you ”really” are.
    • to make yourself feel “whole”.
    • to feel excited and anew.
    • to have no fear.
    • to be more intuitive.
    • to feel a complete sense of freedom.
    • to achieve great things in life.

    Understanding these great ideas about chance, choice, free will, love, fear and the fear of love can motivate us to work to stay consciously in a place of love. Learning how to design our thoughts and lives to keep us in this place is important for anyone who wants to live a life of meaning and fulfillment.

    Reason does not contrast love and the fear of love at odds with each other—and neither does the dictionary.

    The fear itself isn’t a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much we care. In a way, fear can deepen joy, passion, and love, if we learn how to find the courage to act despite it.

    Rather, when people think of the opposite of love, they are probably thinking of dislike, disgust, or perhaps the most common of all, hate. And when they think the opposite of fear, they think of courage, bravery, or fearlessness.

    Keeping these big ideas in mind, we can start to break down what it looks like to choose either love or fear of love in our daily lives. Here, in this article are some ways love versus fear of love manifests itself in the real world.

    Fear of love destroys. Love creates”

    When we’re afraid of something, we’re more likely to tear it down or throw it away. Coming from a place of love, however, encourages us to create, build, or add. If your project or your work gets rejected, you might be afraid to try again and nothing will happen as a result. Conversely, if you truly love your work, you’re more likely to make some adjustments and try again until you succeed.

    Fear of love tightens. Love releases”

    If you’re afraid of losing something, you might tighten your grip on it. If you truly love it, however, you’re willing to let it go if you need to. Parents learn this lesson as their children grow up and prepare to leave home. Tightening your “grip” on your children, out of fear, will be stressful for both the child and you, but releasing them with love will help them feel encouraged and supported, and will bring you more peace as a parent.

    Fear of love breeds domination. Love breeds cooperation”

    When someone is afraid of losing control, it’s easy for them to become domineering. Love, on the other hand, breeds cooperation. Loving couples are more likely to work together to create a life and a home that both of them are happy with. But if one or both of the parties start to live in fear, they may start acting dominant as a way of exerting control.

    If we do not love ourselves, why anyone else? Rejection of self-acts as negative hypnosis: The more negative beliefs, the stronger your self-doubt. Before you can form a close bond with another person, you must first understand the most important that is saving the relationship in your life and most and foremost the relationship with yourself.

    Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. Fear of love hesitates”

    Love is dynamic and requires action to thrive. While it is nice to be loved by someone else, each of us can only really feel loving feelings for another person and not that person’s emotions for us. To connect with and sustain these loving feelings within us, we must take loving actions. Otherwise, we may live in a fantasy.

    Fear of emotional closeness is characterized by the fact that people need more and more distance as a relationship becomes closer. This situation may sound familiar to you: You want nothing more than a happy partnership. But instead of committing, you hesitate. Fear of being hurt or overwhelmed by your emotions. And instead of looking for a solution, you leave each time, you find it a little harder to relate to another person. And at some point, you doubt that you can accept love and open your heart.

    Fear often keeps us from doing things we otherwise really want to do. Love, on the other hand, pushes us toward those goals and encourages us to act to make our dreams a reality. In addition, scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

    Deep in our hearts, we humans long for true and unconditional love. At the same time, many people are close to their inner selves. They lock their hearts with heavy locks and do not give others a chance to find the keys to their heart. These people have a hard time accepting the love they want so much. Sometimes they do not even recognize that it is right in front of them, because love is everywhere.

    Thoughts like “nobody wants to be with me” are in their minds. And although they do not have this feeling on purpose, of course, it always brings back moments when they could be happy. Self-doubt ultimately leads to stress, because when someone else shows you that he loves you, you wonder if something is wrong. This increases your fear of being hurt, frustrated, or exploited.

    Love is positive. It is proactive. It looks at the goal and says, “Yes, we can do that. Let’s get going.” It involves the love of the goal, love of yourself, and love of the steps you’ll need to take to get there. You move toward the goal, ready and willing to face whatever challenges appear along the way.

    Fear of love is negative. It is reactive. It looks at the goal and says, “No, we can’t do that. Let’s get away.” When you’re fearful, you fear that your goal isn’t achievable, that you aren’t capable, or that your plan couldn’t possibly get you to where you want to go. So, instead of moving toward the goal, you move away from it. So, you finally convince yourself that the goal isn’t worth the effort.

    The Significance of Love in Reality Creation

    Reality is a state of consciousness of having substance and experiencing existence by combining and equating the following fundamental principles:

    • Duality Principle through critical thinking (know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence that is an idealistic, notional idea (as affection) and fear of love (as intimacy) are combined to form a single unit of love expressed as chances for something to occur or possibilities and experienced as chances of experiencing success or probabilities, with the
    • Equivalence Principle through analytical thinking (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as chances of success; divide and share resources – individuals or groups of people as provable solutions or root causes – by turning possibilities to uncertainties and then to abilities or core competencies) and the
    • Equality Principle (splitting love as a single unit, into parts as choices towards success) through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities by turning probabilities into certainties and then response-to-abilities or responsibilities that lead to actual results.
    • The equity Principle striving for inner peace and balance (that reflects the basic principle of the golden mean) recognizes that each individual or group has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome where always by default cause equates with effect by balancing presented chances to choices through free will. According to the equity principle, the effect justifies the cause for something to occur (Choice as a Cause, to be, and Chance as an effect, to exist). In this way, uncertainties as core competencies through action forces turn to certainties and then to substance, and certainties as responsibilities through reaction forces turn to actualities, leading to experiencing existence or occurrence.
    • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause where both form the actual solutions to a problem, uncertainty, or risk through free will [Choice as a Cause or Meaning (To be) = Chance as an Effect or Purpose (To exist) = Actual Solution (both Chance as Meant to be which defines Fate as meaningful coincidences or simply Meaning and Choice as Meant to exist as Purpose which determines actual experiences as Destiny)]. In this way, actualities (effects) are perceived as having substance (To be), and occurrences (causes) as experiencing existence or living experiences (To exist).
    • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance attained between two extremes (mentioned above as the golden mean) by accepting love and offering help (a transactional activity) – instead of simply giving (exchanging) love for help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

    Inner peace or the equilibrium point of self-actualization – self-imagination as a response-ability reflects the basic principle of the golden mean(laid down by Aristotle) that focuses on moderation by striving for balance throughout the desirable middle ground between two extremes;  by accepting love and offering help – one of excess and one of deficiency – the first as a moderate feeling of affection as chances of success and the later as intimacy as choices towards experiencing success as physical or emotional closeness, by exercising the sacred right of free will to meet the needs of both parties (more of a transactional activity instead of a simple exchange).

    The Mechanism

    Front Consciousness Operations:

    Critical way of thinking or critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing as a guide to a possible action toward the best solutions to a problem (by understanding the circumstances that a thinker is aware of) through the logical connection between a concept and an idea (that is the identification of the problem and nature of a problem itself).

    An analytical way of thinking or analytical thinking is the intellectual ability to extract and process key information from data, verify the causes, and develop workable solutions (provable solutions) for the problem identified.

    Back Consciousness Operations:

    A synthetic way of thinking or Synthetic thinking is the combination of the parts taken from analytical thinking (provable solutions) into a complex whole as results; and assessment of the effects (actual results).

    The difference between the analytical and synthetic ways of thinking is that analytical thinking is the abstract separation of a whole into its constituent parts to study their relations while synthetic thinking takes the parts and combines them into a whole again through subjective-objective and reasonable justification.

    The Equivalence Principle equates Inertial mass as a qualitative measure (a condition) to Gravitational mass as a quantitative measure (a property, quality, or characteristic) that is to turn or equate an emotion to a feeling such as fear of love to love.

    Inertial mass is the mass of a body as determined by the second law of motion from the acceleration of the body when it is subjected to a force that is not due to gravity.

    Gravitational is the mass of a body determined by its response to the force of gravity and is measured by comparing the force of gravity of an unknown mass to the force of gravity of a known mass. Inertial mass is found by applying a known force to an unknown mass, measuring the acceleration, and applying Newton’s Second Law, a = F/m.

    • Weight is different from mass. Weight (W) is the force of gravity exerted on an object.
    • Mass is a measure of the inertia of the object (i.e. how much it resists changes in velocity).
    • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction.

    Love Velocity as an Action
    Love Velocity as an Action

    The higher the value of gravitational force the higher the weight and speed/velocity; they are directly proportional to each other. A change in velocity is a change in energy and a weight change.

    The Equality Principle requires that equal situations are treated equally and unequal situations differently. Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same opportunities. Failure to do so will amount to discrimination unless a subjective or objective and reasonable justification exists.

    Duality Principle: turns an Undefined problem to solve to Identifiable problem (Reality Reflection)

    Equivalence Principle: definition of the nature turns an Identifiable problem to an Identified one and choose provable solution to solve it (Reality Perception)

    Equality Principle: Identified problem through provable solution turns to a Defined actual result through reasonable justification (Reality Formation)

    Equity Principle: actual solution finally not only treats equally provable solution with actual result but also balances them gaining timing and momentum that give rise to the actual solution of the problem at hand where the effect justifies the cause (Effect relates to Cause); (Reality Expression)

    Causality Principle: equates provable solution to Identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences to coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning coincidences to meaningful or experiences (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution); (Reality Creation)

    Synchronicity Principle: subjective experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) that turn occurrences as chance events to coincidences and then to meaningful experiences towards inner peace and balance, maintained by offering and accepting love and help (accepting love as life purpose and offering help as meaning or living experience); (Reality Manifestation)

    Duality Principle (Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium through critical thinking): [Inertial mass * Love (Acceleration as an Action Force)] = [Gravitational mass * Fear of Love (Intensity of the Gravitational Field as a Reaction Force)]

    Equivalence Principle (Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium through analytical thinking): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose)] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of love  Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning)]

    Equality Principle (Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium treated equally through synthetic thinking – subjective-objective and reasonable justification): [(Inertial mass * Love  Ability  Virtue  Purpose) = Cause as a Principle (make something happen) = Space] and [(Gravitational mass * Fear of Love Response-to-ability  Moral  Meaning) = Effect as a Consequence or Result = Time]

    Equity Principle (Psychological – Mental Love Equilibrium balanced equally) indicates that Love Velocity as Supply, Purpose or Timing (a point of a period when something may happen as chance, judgement or control) is also balanced against Demand, Meaning or Momentum (a time period when something happens as choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing = Supply = Space = Cause and Momentum = Demand = Time = Effect.

    Causality Principle (Physical – Psychological Love Equilibrium); The logical relationship between two events the Cause (Inertial mass) and the Effect (Gravitational mass) through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency); As all falling bodies have the same constant acceleration the two types of mass must be equal to a third force or Resonant frequency as an Actual Solution; (Inertial mass = Resonant frequency and Gravitational mass = Resonant frequency) or (Inertial mass – as Timing, Supply, Space or Cause = Gravitational mass – as Demand, Time or Effect = Resonant frequency)

    Synchronicity Principle: subjective meaningful experiences (as an unknown non-conscious connection) sensed as the Natural frequency of a body determined by its response to the force of Gravity compare to Inertia mass – that forms the Actual solution.

    The actual steps:

    Front Consciousness Operations:

    • Duality Principle: Combining two competitive or opposing forces or elements; Love as Chance for Taking Charge and Fear of Love as Choice; Inertial mass and Gravitational mass; Velocity and Weight.

    Back Consciousness Operations:

    • Equivalence Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Chances (chances of success), by equating elements of Chances (as possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose or virtues). Love velocity as a provable solution to an undefined problem, as an action towards inertial mass, a concept or a feeling turns into a purpose as a virtue and then to a cause (a defined root cause of the problem), and then to space.
    • Equality Principle: Turns and equates the two opposing forces into the opposite or antagonistic forces of Choices (chances of experiencing success), by equating elements of Choices (as probabilities, certainties, and responsibilities) of being equal in status, rights, and opportunities (as chances of experiencing success, meaning or morals, possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies) of being equal in value, worth, or function (as chances of success, purpose, or virtues). Finally, the fear of love as a reaction, an idea, a resistance to the applied force of the speed of love, a resistance to the actual solution as an indefinable problem, a gravitational mass, or emotion turns into meaning as a moral, and then to effect (a definite result as the actual impact of the root cause of the problem), and then to time.
    • Equity Principle: According to the Equality Principle Purpose as Virtues and Meaning as Morals are not only treated equally (as equal Action-Reaction forces or inputsbut are also balanced (a state of equilibrium) gaining momentum or timing after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship (single events or a sequence of related circumstances that give rise to the actual solution to the initial problem at hand); According to the equity principle finally Love Velocity (as distance divided by the time taken) equates with Time. Love Velocity as Supply, Timing, or Purpose (a point of a period when something may happen as a chance, judgment, or control) is balanced against Fear of Love as a Demand, Momentum, or Meaning (the time period that something happens as a choice – the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured by its mass and velocity). Timing (Purpose as Virtues or Supply or Cause or Space) is balanced against Momentum (Meaning as Morals or Effects or Demand or Time),(Effect = Cause).
    • Causality Principle: The logical relationship between two events the Cause and the Effect through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the Principle of Resonance (Resonant frequency). It equates a provable solution to an identified problem as a cause by turning occurrences into meaningful coincidences and the actual solution to a Defined problem as an effect by turning meaningful coincidences into actual experiences as an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution).

    Connecting Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations:

    Love (Agape) pushes energy forwards as Chances and triggers in Love (Eros) by giving love or receiving help as emotions, reactions, or resistance due to the Fear of Love.

    In Love (Eros), as a Choice, becomes then the Main Cause of the resistance to Love and moves by pulling energy backward altering its status from uncertainty to certainty – by taking a leap of faith – and then turning to an Effect (due to the Causality and Synchronicity Principles).

    • Synchronicity Principle: a phenomenon where the human mind interprets (through front consciousness operations) actions on chances as provable solutions or coincidences that turn to reactions as choices or meaningful coincidences or actual results and finally to actual solutions or actual experiences as an effect. At the end of the process (through back consciousness operations), an initial risk, uncertainty, or problem through the Fear of Love as resistance to Love (weight) turns to Cause, to Meaning, to Space, and then to Timing, and Love Velocity turns to Purpose, to Effect (an event as an actual solution to the initial problem or risk), to Momentum through Space-Time or the Present moment.
    • Finally (by connecting front-to-back consciousness operations) Timing as a coincidence, a meaningful event, life, space, or fate = Momentum as a sequence of meaningful coincidences, events, living experiences, time, or destiny = the Present moment as space-time or an actual solution (Cause = Effect = Actual Solution or Space = Time = Space-Time). 

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Front Consciousness Operations – Everlasting Love – Unfailing Support

    Dreaming of love is an empty feeling. In order to be fulfilled one part of the mind (conscious) places a bid (auction) to the other part of the mind (unconscious) asking for its services (truth). The other part of the mind (unconscious) responds with reverse auction by placing a bid (an offer) for the price at which it is willing to provide (give) its services (truth value).

    By giving or providing love, one part expects the other to receive (receiving love) as support. Offering love or support (a feeling) for help or assistance (an emotion). An offering is a type of offer or bid. When you offer something, you’re asking someone if they want it. One type of offering is a proposal or bid. By offering love (or something) it can be accepted or rejected (it depends on the value system). The offer stands on its own and does not depend on acceptance to be relevant or generous. An offer is not tied to the giver but stands in front of the receiver unashamed to be accepted (moral truth value) or rejected.

    Through Front-to-Back Consciousness Operations ‘giving or proving’ and ‘receiving’ love and help, turn around as energy to become ‘offering’ and ‘accepting’ support and assistance respectively. This is a transactional activity based on mutual agreement between the two parties. That’s what makes the energy as spiritual and emotional love go round and round in circles in perpetuity. Meanwhile, a new dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained where the endless present as a personal reality through personality makes an earthy living experience not only possible or probable but also challenging by turning the unattainable not only attainable but also attained, as a divine offer, truth, or divine gift or help.

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Front Consciousness Operations – Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

    Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is attained as inner balance through free will, which means that actions on chances through senses (by giving or providing love) determine reactions as choices through illusions (by receiving help in return for love) to the same degree that fate as causes (by offering back love as help, as a gesture of goodwill, meaning, or meaningful coincidences) determine destiny as effects (by accepting the offered love as help, as an appreciation, purpose, or actual experiences).

    Through dynamic blissful love equilibrium, an initial chance on action or intent (as purpose) against a choice as a reaction to an action (as meaning) turns around to become a meaningful experience (a meaning as a cause or fate) in conjunction with a series of meaningful experiences (a purpose as effect or destiny).

    In this way, the initial energies (divine masculine and feminine energies) after they split coincide again (as cause and effect, character and behavior, purpose and meaning, fate and destiny) and exchange their energies (help as experience or excellence with love as beauty or use) based on truths and beliefs so both parts are content, satisfied, and fulfilled (blissful) by forming personality creating (reflecting) personal reality (half substance as masculine energy, half existence as feminine energy). The desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half” is finally attained.

    The actual variables:

    • Inertial mass (Qualitative measure) = Gravitational mass (Quantitative measure)
    • Inertia = property of matter (attribute, quality, or characteristic)
    • Gravity: The force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth or any other physical matter having mass.
    • Mass: The Measure of inertia or gravity is a fundamental property of all matter; it is in effect the resistance that a body of matter offers to a change in its speed or position upon the application of a force (the more significant the mass of a body the smaller the change produced by an applied force).
    • Velocity is the speed at which something moves in one direction and it’s defined as the distance traveled divided by the time taken; it is represented as m/s or cm/s.
    • Weight is dependent on gravitational force.

    The Significance of In-Love in Reality Creation

    In love is another element, quality, or step on the ladder of love that is the connecting link that connects all the main parts or states of the mind as it combines different qualities such as:

    • A desire as a feeling (having substance as a strong drive, force, or cause) is another element or step on the ladder of love based on intellectual intelligence (IQ) which is a human mental activity and understanding developed through thinking, experiences, and senses (by the conscious mind).
    • An emotion (experiencing existence as strong resistance to falling – in love as an effect) is the main element on the ladder of fear of love based on emotional intelligence (EQ) which is the ability to understand, manage, and regulate own emotions, reduce stress, defuse conflict, and reduce emotional reactivity through abstract reasoning (by the conscious-unconscious mind).
    • A distinct state of mind; psychological tendency; intuitive psychological choice; in the cause of freedom based on analytical intelligence (AQ) by comparing and contrasting ideas towards long-term provable solutions to problems by the preconscious mind.
    • An actual result; in effect; is valid from that moment based on synthetic intelligence (SQ) that is future-oriented, holistic, and synthesis of provable solutions (causes) with actual results (effects) by the subconscious mind.
    • A passion that is the essence of the beauty of love through non-conscious intelligence (NQ) with processes in which people are not consciously aware; systems indistinguishable in function; and non-conscious reasoning (by the nonconscious mind).
    • Sensing or seeing (experiencing) the essence of the beauty of love (spiritual love); love–in–love equilibrium by offering and accepting love and help through causal intelligence (CQ) by determining relationships more accurately by understanding how one variable impacts another and how certain outputs (actual results) have changed by identifying current and future trends (as actual solutions); blissful love sensed at the center of the heart.

    The Levels of Love Equilibrium

    The mystery behind the spiritual world is difficult to comprehend when we use worldly wisdom. However, we can see that the spirit has the plan to save us from any situation that we may find ourselves in through serial love levels in steps, or stages towards spiritual-mental love of the Higher self as a superior spiritual goal where true love (foresight) is perfectly aligned with self-love (insight):

    • Spiritual – Emotional Love Equilibrium level or Self-conceptualization – Self-reflection equilibrium point 1 (based on the Duality Principle)
    • Psychological – Physical Love Equilibrium level or Self-satisfaction – Self-fulfillment equilibrium point 2 (based on the Equivalence Principle)
    • Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium level or Self-actualization – Self-imagination equilibrium point 3 (based on the Equality Principle)
    • Spiritual – Psychological Love Equilibrium level (based on the Equity Principle)
    • Spiritual – Physical Love Equilibrium level (based on the Causality, Resonance, and Synchronicity Principles)

    The Duality Principle:

    Combining Chances and Choices within the whole as Possibilities and Probabilities

    The Duality principle: A state of combining two opposing or competing forces within the whole; Unknown as chances for divine intervention to solve a problem as divine or spiritual love (Bid to know spiritual love) – Unknowns as chances of successful divine intervention (as choices) experienced as a fear of love (ask to successfully experience divine help) through the conscious-unconscious mind. It represents things that we are neither aware of nor understand and combines them into a whole as a single unit.

    A conscious mind involves all of the things that you are currently both aware or unaware of and thinking about; short-term memory that is limited in terms of capacity; done or acting with critical awareness. It represents the Unknown as possibilities = chances of divine intervention to solve a problem (bid to know divine love or the ability for something to occur through a spontaneous response to the problem at hand – a logical assumption).

    The unconscious mind consists of the processes in the mind that occur automatically and are not available for introspection; not awake or aware of and responding to one’s environment; it affects feelings and emotions. It represents the Unknowns as probabilities = chances of successful divine intervention to solve a problem (ask for divine help or to experience a successful divine help or something is both possible and likely to occur – an emotional prediction).

    The Equivalence Principle:

    Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Uncertainties

    The Equivalence principle: A state of equating (dividing) two pairs of interacting, opposite, and equal forces (by a forced mental split) such as chances to uncertainties (50% Unknown as abilities for something to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the preconscious-subconscious mind. Things that we understand but are not aware of that turn into things that we were aware of but do not understand.

    The Preconscious mind controls the information that is allowed to enter into conscious awareness; done or acting with analytical awareness. It represents the Unknown as abilities = 50% chances of occurrence of divine intervention, or help to solve a problem.

    The Equality principle:

    Splitting (by action – forces) the Combined forces into Antagonistic or Opposite forces of Certainties

    The Equality principle: Treats equally the information that enters through the preconscious mind with the subconscious thoughts (Known-Knowns as things we’re aware of and understand) through the interference of the conscious-nonconscious mind by subjective-objective problem data analysis and reasonable justification through the synthetic way of thinking.

    The subconscious mind responds to information that enters into conscious awareness through the preconscious mind through a subjective problem data analysis and reasonable justification; they are mental activities just below the threshold of consciousness; subconscious thoughts affect psychological responses and behavior.

    A state of equating choices to certainties (50% Knowns for something both possible and likely to occur) through the analytical way of thinking of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind represents the Knowns as response-to-abilities or actualities (meaningful coincidences or experiences as chances of successful divine intervention, or help).

    Balancing (by the reaction – forces) the Opposite forces of Uncertainties-Certainties as Values and Morals

    The Equity Principle: Recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Equality of opportunity to achieve one’s potential, an equal share of benefits, empowerment to enable access to information, fair representation, and meaningful participation in decision-making through the exercise of Action-Reaction forces through Choice and Free will.

    Known as uncertainties turn to certainties and then to values = 50% chances of the purposeful occurrence of divine intervention or help, and Knowns as certainties turn to actualities and then to morals = 50% chances of successful or meaningful divine intervention or help (experiences as meaningful coincidences). Supply as Values (Purpose) = Demand as Morals (Meaning).

    The Causality principle:

    Achieving a balance of the Opposite forces of Values and Morals as Causes and Effects

    The Causality principle:  A genetic connection of phenomena through which one thing (the cause) under certain conditions gives rise to something else (the effect). The principle indicates the existence of a logical relationship between two events (relates a simple coincidence to a meaningful coincidence or experience), the root cause, and the effect (the actual result) where the cause always precedes the effect (the effect justifies the cause) and they both finally form the actual solution due to the resonance principle.

    The Synchronicity Principle:

    Maintaining the balance achieved through Nonconscious processes (by transactional activities)

    The Synchronicity Principle: Subjective experiences (as nonconscious mental processes) that coincidences between events may be causally unrelated to each other yet have some other unknown connection. It supports the mechanism behind the constant adjustment of the alignment of the above levels or stages that is Love – In Love Equilibrium point (as a balancing factor towards the Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium point) by offering and accepting love and help, through transactional activities.

    The Nonconscious mind reflects any mental processes that go on that an individual is unaware of; they are not thought about consciously. Nonconscious processes are not unconscious processes.

    The difference between the unconscious and nonconscious mind is that the unconscious is a part of the mind that is not accessible to the conscious mind; it lies outside of conscious awareness but affects feelings and emotions. However, individuals are mostly unaware of the plethora of nonconscious thought processes that are going on at any moment.

    Definition of Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium

     © yourspiritualquest.com - Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Spiritual Emotional Love Equilibrium Chart

    Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of adjustment between opposing or divergent influences or elements such as strong feelings of love and intense emotions of fear that are either static (as in a mind acted on by forces whose resultant is zero – by being in a state from selfish to selfless and from fearful to fearless or self-love) or dynamic as action-reaction forces (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the rates of reaction in both directions are equal).

    Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium is a state of intellectual or emotional balance due to the equal action of opposing pairs of forces such as spiritual or intellectual-emotional, and psychological-physicalThe sum of life-preserving instincts that are manifested as impulses to gratify basic needs, sublimated impulses, and impulses to protect and preserve the body and mind — compare death instinct.

    To grow spiritually, you must have equilibrium within. Spirit leads to your spiritual body and then to the emotional body through the soul.  Your soul finally leads to your psychological and then to the physical body. In this alignment, you operate in peace through spiritual and emotional love, psychological attraction, physical affection, and mental love as a pure child of bliss.

    Similarly, when your soul overrides your spirit, spiritual-emotional equilibrium is disturbed within.  The soul becomes defensive, carnal, and controlling, and our pursuit of bliss is hindered.

    The spirit is mind-driven and the soul is emotion-driven and even psychology and flesh-driven. When our soul is mainly carnally led, our spirit, misses its meaning and purpose in life, because our spirit is always pointed toward and exists exclusively for the divine love or love of mankind, whereas our soul can be mostly self-centered. The joy, comfort, and peace of bliss’s presence can only be experienced through our spirit. However, unredeemed, the soul can become a prison that holds back our maturity and spiritual growth.

    The good news is, that we can each bring our souls to a place of rest. The spiritual-Emotional Equilibrium of spirit and soul comes when your soul is at rest and your spirit, which communicates with the soul, leads you forward towards the equilibrium point where Love-In-Love curves intersect.

    Definition of Love – In-Love Equilibrium

    © yourspiritualquest.com - Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Love-in-Love Equilibrium Chart

    The whole world is confused for a surprisingly modest-sounding reason: we don’t understand love, yet we are rather convinced that we do.

    We write and talk a lot about love of course, but generally, we do not understand the deeper meanings of its existence in our life.

    The whole universe is made up of energy and at that level, everything is vibrating or oscillating at a specific frequency the Resonant Frequency. What does the universe vibrate at? Listening to a sound at 432 Hz is especially pleasing to the ear, and is said to reduce stress and promote emotional stability by putting you in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”.

    The whole Creation constitutes the center of devoted love, where men and women are created physically, spiritually, psychologically, and emotionally to live together in blissful love.

    The love between a husband and a wife must be, among other things, a love affair. However, a marriage based solely on erotic love will fail. The emotion of sexual love diminishes and diminishes. Healthy marriages will have a mix of Agape, Storge, Eros, Philia (Touch), Platonic love (Pure Love), and Anidiotelis Agape (True Love).

    A Gradual Shift from Desire and Empathy to Compassion and Care

    • The Law of Reverse Effect states: “The greater the conscious effort, the less the subconscious response” that is the harder one consciously tries to do something, the more difficult it is to succeed; or “Whenever the will (conscious mind) and imagination (unconscious mind) conflict, the imagination (unconscious mind) always wins.

    The law of reverse effect creates resistance to get us moving. So how could we overcome these things? First, it might be your desire. Desire is strong energy and can cut through resistance like a sharp knife.

    What is the true meaning of desire? Desire means to have a longing for. Some common synonyms of desire are coveted, crave, want, and wish. It stresses the strength of feeling and often implies a strong intention or aim. An expressed wish; Something desired; A desire to start a new life.

    Empathy is our feeling of awareness toward other people’s emotions and an attempt to understand how they feel.

    Studies suggest that empathy while well-intentioned isn’t neutral. It’s even suggested that it can sometimes hurt more than help our relationships and our ability to lead effectively.

    Empathy can make us unconsciously more sympathetic towards individuals we relate to more. This makes us less likely to connect with people whose experiences don’t mirror ours.

    The answer to the inadequacy of desire and empathy is motivation. Motivation is everything in life!

    As we see it, at the dawn of a new era, there are two main emerging spiritual-emotional forces or factors behind any individual’s endeavor in society as a whole to create and sustain motivation: Compassion and Care.

    Compassion is an emotional response to empathy or sympathy and creates a desire to help.

    “Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”

    Plato

    • Compassion (a motivating factor or positive affective stimulus based on psychological love) is an innate core ability for achieving someone’s goals by loving, helping, or supporting others that encourages someone to act towards the accomplishment of an aim or purpose and
    • Fear of abandonment or rejection (a negative affective stimulus based on the impact of the fear of love) is a response to the above ability by the fear of acting in an uncompassionate way by making sacrifices in return for the benefit offered that triggers emotional reactions of discouraging an individual from acting”.

    What Are the Types or Stages of Love?

     

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Stages of Love and Fear

    6 Types or Stages of Love – Ladder of Love

    The word “love” is a flexible term in the English language. It has several different meanings. Six unique words in ancient Greek describe the range of meanings the English word love conveys.

    The following ladder of love consists of Six Types or Stages of Spiritual-Emotional-Psychological-Physical and Spiritual-Mental Love that are defined as:

    I. Agape: love of mankind, divine, spiritual love.
    II. Storge: love of parents for children.
    III. Eros: erotic, passionate love.
    IV. Philia: love of friends and equals.
    V. Platonic Eros or Agape: in touch, mental love; establish a rapport or relationship.
    VI. Anidiotelis Agape: True Love: perfect romantic love between people with an aligned belief system and common interests based on the equilibrium of strong spiritual desires and deep emotional needs.
    © yourspiritualquest.com – Ladder of Love

    In Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, the playwright Aristophanes suggests that the origin of love lies in the desire to complete ourselves by finding a long-lost “other half”.

    Surprisingly he was right. Love in the ladder moves upward. In addition, even though all stages exist to some degree, Eros is the nowadays dominant type or stage behind any human endeavor (it is important to state here that the ladder of love and fear in this article is differentiated from the original and reflects the personal views of the writer).

    Being in love (Eros) with someone is psychologically charged in a way that relates to the human mind and feelings. Specifically, when you’re in love with someone, you feel a strong, almost inexplicable desire for that person. To love someone is to have a strong feeling of closeness and care for someone.

    Eros is about asking for love (demanding love) and involves a loss of control with intense anticipation and nervousness while loving someone is about offering love (supplying love) where you feel happy, secure, and at ease with your partner.

    Over or excess demands for love create fear, worry, and anxiety with reverse effects on humanity’s mental and physical health in general. As a result, balance is lost and society struggles to find purpose and meaning in life.

    However, a new strong potential emerges gradually over time. A potential shift from stage three to stage two. From Eros to Storge which takes a new meaning as part of another way or an upgraded path to the essence of love; blissful love.

    But it does not happen easily and with no cost. The higher the steps, the more intellectual it is. To be able to climb the ladder, one must understand the previous steps thoroughly. It is designed to happen through stages, struggles, and lessons. Rewards are bigger though.

    Anidiotelis Agape, Unconditional Love, Undistracted Love, and Philautia (Self-love) lay at the roots of the ladder of love. Every other form or stage of love is built upon these core foundational archetypes of love.

    Agape as spiritual love lays at the top of the ladder as the beacon of the spiritual road to blissful love as the ultimate prize; the ultimate step for someone to conquer the knowledge of both the spiritual and emotional aspects of love; real and true love in unity; the uniqueness of love. The fulfillment of the desire to complete ourselves by finally finding the long-lost “other half” that is sensed and experienced as Selfless Love.

    History and Origin

    • Agape: (Divine or Spiritual love borrowed from Greek agape – agan=much and pa=protection); is defined as self-sacrificing human or personal love often conditional, or limited in nature. It is the love that focuses on the will, not the emotions, experiences, or libido based on aspects and conditions of possessive, demand, or expectation; divine or infinite spiritual love.
    • Storge: (Emotional love) Storge refers to natural, family love. Storge refers to the kind of love a parent shows for a child.
    • Eros: (Psychological love) Eros is the word often used to express the sexual love or arousal feelings shared by people who are physically attracted to each other; Definition of Eros: In Greek mythologyErosAncient Greek: Ἔρως, ‘Desire’ is the Greek god of love, sexual desire, and physical love. The Romans called him Cupid, and he was thought to be the son of Aphrodite and Ares. He was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods.
    • Philia: (Physical love) Philia refers to brotherly love and is most often exhibited in a close friendship.
    • Platonic Eros or Mental Love: (Pure love) In TouchEstablish communication with someone. Involves deep affection, but no romantic or sexual attraction.
    • Anidiotelis Agape or True Love:  True love means that you have an unwavering, unbreakable, and unparalleled fondness and devotion for another;
    • Selfless love: is also defined by an immeasurably deep spiritual-emotional unity of spirit and soul into the wholeness of the Higher self through self-love in a happy, passionate, and fulfilling relationship.

    I. Agape – Spiritual Love

    Definition of Love, Selfish, Selfless, True Love

    Agape constitutes the ultimate spiritual goal and the end of human existence as a biological entity by finally finding the long-lost “other half” and turning into wholeness!

    According to Aristophanes in Plato’s dialogue, The Symposium, at the beginning of time, all people were hermaphrodites with double backs and sides, four arms and four legs, and two faces turned in opposite directions on the same head. Zeus had to cut them in two, male and female – and from that day on, each of us longed to be reunited in the place from which he was cut off.

    What does selfishness in love mean? Selfish Love is focused on getting what one can gain from their partner and the relationship. True Love is about sacrificing everything for another and accepting the other without judgment. True love is gifted with foresight and knows that love evokes love.

    Contrary to what we like to say and believe, the feeling of love doesn’t occur in our hearts, at least scientifically. Instead, it happens in our brain when we release hormones (oxytocin, dopamine, adrenaline, testosterone, estrogen, and vasopressin) that create a mix of feelings: euphoria, pleasure, or bonding. However fearless, or selfless love fills and occupies the heart.

    We want others to live up to our expectations right now. Excessive wants can limit our happiness. But true love means giving people time to mature and grow, to go wrong, to wander in another direction, and to give them every opportunity to grow, at their own pace.

    A genuinely healthy relationship based on pure emotions and feelings is a relationship that is not dominated by the ego by creating an image and searching for itself. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention to the person to whom there is absolutely no compulsion.

    II. Storge – Emotional Love

    Definition of Fear, Fearful and Fearless or Self-Love

    Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others; the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of yourself (insight).

    Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. A state marked by this emotion. Anxious concern: solicitude. A reason for alarmdanger.

    Whenever we enter into a love relationship with someone love is based upon our emotions of fears. Love is also defined by fear. It’s the underlying groundwork of any relationship even if it seems shocking and difficult to admit.

    Another part of the fear of love is the risk of not responding to that feeling. People fall in love together, gradually, after spending time together. But it does not always work that way. One falls in love with the other, but the other does not reciprocate the feelings. Thus, a person can resist the development of these feelings. Unreciprocated love is tragic and the possibility of a one-way love affair can cause fear and prevent a person from letting those feelings grow at all.

    Of course, the scariest thing about love can be its loss. Although this is the most obvious, and perhaps the most common, fear of love, it is also the most self-destructive, because the person ends up avoiding love for fear of losing it.

    Remember that fear, when used properly, is a valuable emotion that can alleviate our urges to rush into a new situation if we want it to work for us and not against us. Drawing on Aristotle and the Stoic philosophers, we must recognize that excessive fear will prevent you from trying anything new while very little fear will make you fall in love very easily, a lot, and quickly, resulting in probably more pain in the long run. Ideally, fear should be used in conjunction with logic to decide if that danger is worth it.

    Even prudence can go a long way because we do not want to be fooled, but neither should we be careful to the extent that we avoid life. And if, as many believe, love is an essential or an integral part of the meaning of life, and something that makes life and not mere existence, then the wisest thing to do is to overcome your fears, reject your reservations, and pay attention only to love.

    We should be almost done with romantic love now. We need to look at the challenge of this kind of love. However, it is not surprising that we are still just at the beginning, just starting on the road to being human.

    What’s Philophobia?

    Philophobia is a fear of falling in love. It can also be a fear of entering into a relationship or a fear that you will not be able to maintain a relationship. Many people experience a slight fear of falling in love at some point in their lives. But in extreme cases, philophobia can make people feel isolated and unloved.

    Philophobia is not a condition that can be diagnosed by a doctor because it is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, it can affect someone’s mental health negatively.

    Potential Causes of Philophobia

    The fear of falling in love has many potential causes, including:

    Fear of losing identity

    Fear of losing identity due to past experiences. Traumatic relationships of the past can contribute to the development of the fear of falling in love. Infidelity, betrayal, or frustration can make you stay away from romantic relationships. Other types of relationships can also cause fear, such as parental relationships and close friendships.

    Fear of losing purpose and meaning

    Fear of losing purpose and meaning due to cultural experiences. In some cultures, there is more pressure to marry at a young age under certain conditions. If one does not want to have this traditional experience, it can lead to philophobia.

    Fear of abandonment or rejection

    Fear of abandonment or rejection. Putting yourself out there can be scary. Studies show that rejection can have similar effects on the body as physical pain. Most people can overcome rejection, but if you have experienced enough painful rejections, the fear of another may stay with you.

    III. Eros – Psychological or Unconditional Love

    Eros – Love Significance

    Unconditional love is to love others and ourselves much more authentically and generouslyis an active choice to continue loving with no expectations or rewards. It serves a higher purpose (purposeful). Loving someone unconditionally may produce positive feelings. However, humanity has long been fascinated by the conflict between our noblest ideals and the most urgent and exciting demands of our sexual nature.

    Sexual excitement is psychological. It’s not so much what our bodies happen to be doing that turns us on. It’s what’s happening in our brains. Acceptance is at the center of collective experiences and feels physical – the blood pumps faster, the metabolism shifts gear and the skin gets hot – but behind all this lies a sense of an end to our isolation.

    We can only start to understand the role of sexuality in love if we can accept that it is not necessarily a uniquely pleasant experience in and of itself. Nevertheless, sex with our lover can be one of the nicest things we ever do.

    The reason is that sex delivers a major psychological thrill. The pleasure we experience has its origin in an idea: that of being allowed to do a very private thing to and with another person. The mutual permission involved in sex is dramatic and large. We’re implicitly saying to another person that we have granted them an extraordinary privilege.

    Authenticity

    The person who loves us sexually does something properly redemptive. They stop making a distinction between the different sides of who we are. They can see that we are the same person all the time. That our gentleness or dignity in some situations isn’t fake. Through sexual love, we have the chance to solve one of the deepest, problems of human nature which is how to be accepted for who we are.

    In general, at least Western culture requires us to present rigorously crafted versions of ourselves to others. It asks us to be cleaner, purer, and more polite versions of what we might otherwise be. Demand has quite high internal costs. Important aspects of our character are pushed into the shadows.

    Compassion

    At times it may feel frustrating, but it’s pretty empowering to accept the fact that the only person we have any true control over in a relationship is ourselves. Therefore, we can choose whether to engage in behaviors that are destructive to intimacy or authenticity to take actions that express feelings of love, compassion, affection, respect, and kindness.

    To forgive is to know that we are, in our way, as guilty as others. But that is no reason forever to withhold love. We learn to forgive when we’re brave enough to explore the darker sides of our hearts.

    Self-esteem

    Some people believe that they do not deserve to be desired by someone else. And even though they are attracted to someone and the feeling is mutual, they cannot let themselves express themselves. The reasons why people have such sad thoughts can be many. It is not uncommon to have a false self-image or low self-esteem. Sometimes they also had negative experiences with an ex-partner who held them down and made them feel unloved or rejected.

    Empathy

    Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness. Love it’s about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction. To love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations. One day, we will all require the charity of others. In one way or another, we will need people to look past our evident failings.

    IV. Philia – Physical or Undistracted Love (not carnal)

    Undistracted love means learning to capture the deeper spiritual meaning as a responsible answer (meaningful) by receiving unconditional love as your higher purpose in life. Receiving unconditional love can also make a difference in emotional well-being.

    Honesty

    We love people who promise that they will in some way help to make us whole. At the center of our feelings, there is gratitude for having found someone who seems to complement our qualities and dispositions. It is really important to make us feel appreciated and accepted as we are and not to pretend to be what others want us to be.

    To love means being loyal to people with steadfastness and an unbudgeable resilient faith. Friendliness is a quality of openness and warmth that makes you feel welcome and at ease.

    Care

    One way to get a sense of why love should matter so much is to look at the challenges of loneliness. The pains of loneliness are an embarrassing and universal possibility. We shouldn’t feel lonely. Unwittingly, loneliness gives us the most eloquent insights into why love should matter so much.

    In addition, when we are alone, people may well strive to show us care or kindness. There may be invitations and touching gestures, but it will be hard to escape from a background sense of the conditionality of the interest and care on offer.

    Respect

    One of the more surprising and at one level perplexing aspects of love is that we don’t merely wish to admire and respect other people. We are also powerfully drawn to want to attract them (friendly and not sexually). The birth of physical love is normally signaled by what is in reality a hugely weird act; two different people feel mutually attracted just to be friends and nothing more. Communication, mutual respect, and understanding become essential to creating and maintaining this kind of platonic relationship.

    Fairness

    Often, even in a platonic type relationship, we love at least in part in the hope of being helped and redeemed by others becoming through their help better versions of ourselves. Love contains just below the surface a hope for personal redemption: a solution to certain blocks and confusion. We shouldn’t expect to get there all by ourselves. Love promises to educate us in a very different way. Through other people, our development can start in a far more welcoming and energizing way with deep excitement and desire.

    V. In Touch – Platonic or Pure Love (no Romantic or Sexual Attraction)

    Platonic love is a type of love that is not sexual or romantic. The idea of platonic love has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy. The word “platonic” comes from the famous philosopher, writer, and speaker Plato, who outlined specific categories of love in his famous work “Symposium.” Though the philosopher never used the term himself.

    Platonic love happens when two people have a special bond where they deeply care for and respect each other, and share similar interests and values, but they don’t pursue things romantically.

    There will be a deep, often unconditional, pure love. Platonic love is what we feel when there is trust, safety, and validation in a close relationship. It’s the sense of feeling good and cared for in a relationship.

    Plato believed that love is the motivation that leads one to try to know and contemplate beauty in itself through a gradual process that begins with an appreciation of the appearance of physical beauty and then moves on to an appreciation of spiritual beauty.

    Platonic Love; Spiritual – Mental Love Equilibrium

    For Plato, love is not in itself an end, but only a means to achieve the supreme concept of beauty. The first step is physical; the senses unleash eros (the love that enters through the senses and compels one to approach someone). In this stage, love is still physical.

    Plato does not reject the physical dimension of love, to reach the supreme concept of beauty which is actually to reach a state of perfect happiness, oblivious of everything else just because it apprehends the form of beauty, in a kind of vision that raises happiness.

    The deeper meaning of platonic love: “is the spiritual love that enters through the eyes and compels one to approach someone (or something) as a ladder in which love climbs up a series of steps to reach the peak of a supreme idea (spiritual-mental equilibrium) that is a passionate, pure, and disinterested knowledge of the essence of the beauty of love”.

    Characteristics of platonic relationships include:

    • Respect
    • Love
    • Admiration 
    • Loyalty
    • Honesty
    • Bonding over shared interests and beliefs

    VI. Anidiotelis Agape – True love

    Anidiotelis Agape (true love) is at the root of the ladder and constitutes the essence of love.  Love for love itself; An individual sees the beauty in its form and loves the beauty of love as it is. Every particular beautiful thing is beautiful because of its connection to this form.

    Agape is the supreme concept of beauty

    Agape (spiritual love) is at the top of the love ladder mentioned above as the supreme concept of beauty that also describes the concept of the essence of the state of Bliss Equilibrium in the best possible way.

    This is a delicate state of spirit and soul unifying through the heart, throughout the various stages of love, towards the ultimate goal of Bliss Equilibrium; a constant search for the knowledge on how to learn to gradually appreciate the essence and the glory of the nature of higher-self through self-love (philautia – a Greek word that means: to make friends with yourself – raising self-esteem) and its ultimate unity with spirit and the whole creation through true love (into wholeness).

    Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

    © yourspiritualquest.com – Inner Peace – Dynamic Blissful Love Equilibrium

    Dynamic blissful love equilibrium is where the spirit through the heart identifies and appreciates its spiritual-emotional-psychological and physical unity with the soul into wholeness through Self-awareness (the ultimate common space of Self-reflection, Self-inspection, Self-introspection, and Self-recognition).

    • Self-awareness: is the experience of one’s personality or individuality; is how an individual consciously knows and understands their character, behavior, feelings, motives, desires, and needs. 
    • Self-reflection: refers to giving thought to one’s character and behavior; a reflective looking inward: is an examination of one’s thoughts and feelings.
    • Self-inspection: is the process that relies on the observation of one’s mental state; is the experience of one’s personality or character and motives.
    • Self-introspection: the ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes.
    • Self-recognition: knowledge and understanding of one’s nature or character; insight into one’s personality.

    Mind – Soul – Spirit – Body connection through the heart; the heart is the intersection point of spiritual-emotional, psychological-physical, and spiritual-mental axes.

    The steps toward dynamic blissful love equilibrium

    • Spiritual love is offering love to self and others that derive from the spirit and emotional love is accepting love from self and others that comes from the soul; they both meet at the spiritual-emotional love equilibrium point (1).
    • Unconditional and Undistracted love both come from the mind and body; They reflect life’s purpose and meaning aiming at well-being and mental health through the right mentality and the appropriate behavior of an individual: they both meet at the psychological-physical love equilibrium point (2).
    • Dynamic blissful love equilibrium comes through the meeting of the equilibrium points (1) and (2) at the spiritual-mental love equilibrium point (3).

    The adjustment of their alignment is manifested through the love-in-love equilibrium point by giving and receiving love and help and is felt right there in the center of the heart where the three love equilibrium points coincide into wholeness as great happiness, joy, contentment, fulfillment, and bliss.

    A great shift in consciousness – Happiness vs. Fulfillment

    Aristotle said, “Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim, and end of human existence.”

    What is the real meaning of happiness? Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, and satisfaction. While happiness has many different definitions, it is often described as involving positive emotions and life satisfaction. Real happiness comes from within; inner peace greatly comes from having love and compassion in life.

    To distinguish between these two meanings, we use “utility” as usefulness in love to refer to the greatest good for an individual (from his/her point of view) that receives from consuming “a good” and “happiness” to refer to the opposite positive feeling of enjoying a good or meaning.

    “Benefit” is helpfulness in love Besides the physical health benefits, being in love works wonders for mental health as well. Love, marriage, and overall well-being reduce stress, which also strengthens the immune system. It provides purpose, contentment, and fulfillment in life.

    However, the spiritual love-in-love equilibrium points toward blissful love equilibrium by giving and receiving love constitutes a great shift in human consciousness into a new paradigm:

    From usefulness to helpfulness and then to powerfulness. From purpose and meaning of life to possession of controlling influence among all the loving souls of the society as a whole. A lift (an upliftment) from self-esteem (u’) to compassion (u”) as core abilities as a reaction (actualities perceived as effects) deriving from an opposite shift as an action (certainties considered as causes) from respect (w) to care (w’) as a response to those abilities (Response-to-Abilities). The end result is a gradual upliftment from love equilibrium (e’) to dynamic blissful love equilibrium (e”).

    How is Spiritual-Emotional Love Equilibrium Sustained?

    Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium

    Maintaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium comes with a deep understanding of the gain and loss that exists from a spiritual point of view. The rules that apply to spiritual gain and loss are hardly the same as those viewed from a carnal perspective. Sustaining spiritual-emotional love equilibrium requires us to understand how the principles of this nature apply to our everyday lives.

    Spiritual-emotional love equilibrium allows us to understand spiritual wisdom and love toward us. If reasoned carnally it doesn’t make any logical sense. It is also a means by which we know there is a reward reserved for us despite the long-suffering we may face in life. The following instances described below help us understand in more depth how spiritual-emotional love equilibrium is sustained:

    Maintaining spiritual cleanliness

    Spiritual cleanliness looks at what is in our hearts and spirits. If we possess a clean heart and a spirit then we are rewarded. Equilibrium is maintained in spiritual cleanliness by the mere fact that we cannot die from the physical. Equilibrium is also maintained here by the fact that our true death is not by the loss of life but by the loss of our soul. Death is not the fear of spiritual cleanliness but a chance for a change in a higher realm of existence.

    Seeking righteousness

    This means acting in accord with the personal belief systems, values, or morals free from guilt. Seeking “Righteousness” implies trying to reach a state of moral integrity and honesty; it is not self-righteousness, judging oneself by one’s standards.

    Looking beneath the surface

    To love with imagination is to look beneath the surface and picture the suffering and pain that got you to this place. To love with imagination is to put yourself in the place of others and understand why they are behaving as they do. Imaginative love knows that we are all, somewhere, desperate therefore it seeks out the source of that desperation and treats it with sorrowful gentleness.

    Operating with a degree of politeness

    We must operate with a degree of politeness too. A radical change of our true selves is the price we must pay for conviviality. We have to accept too that much of who we are won’t readily be understood. Some of our deepest concerns will be met with blank incomprehension, boredom, or fear. Most people won’t care at all and our deeper thoughts will get no interest.

    Spotting personal inadequacies

    We do not all fall in love with the same people because we are not all missing the same things. The aspects we find desirable in our partners speak of what we admire but do not have secure possession of in ourselves. We may be powerfully drawn to the competent person because we know how our own lives are held up by a lack of confidence and because it suggests the balancing quality to our own excessively compliant view of the world. Our inadequacies explain the direction of our tastes and choices.

    Working within yourself

    The good news is that yes, you can beat fear. But you have to be willing to work with yourself and remove the blocks in your mind. Most fears are related to negative experiences from your past. If you have frustrations If you have experienced injuries or shocking experiences in previous relationships, you need to deal with them in the first step to experience new love in the second step. To do this, it may sometimes be helpful to have a life coach or psychologist involved.

    Learning to love yourself

    Realize that you are unique and wonderful – just as you are here, right now. You are perfect this second and no matter what you do, think, or feel, you will always be precious and lovable. In addition, you should avoid dealing with people who tell you otherwise. Anyone who says that you are not worthy of receiving love should no longer be in the close circle of your friends or acquaintances. Because you deserve it!

    Living from your heart

    Do you live each day as you wish from your heart? Or do invisible forces seem to be preventing you from achieving your goals? And do you often encounter difficulties with your fellow human beings who always show the same patterns?

    Learning to love unconditionally

    There’s a reason people have been studying human emotion for centuries. However, it can seem like a pretty complicated topic. But if we boil it down to the basics—to love and fear of love—then we realize what living in a state of love can do for our lives, and we can start to unravel the mysteries of human thought and emotion, to create a better life for ourselves.

    But, how can we develop the optimism and positivity that love requires?

    • Start with the end in mind. What does a loving version of you look like? Try to ask yourself: What would you do if you were not afraid? Revealing the answer to this question can help you discover strong motivation.
    • Be aware of your fear. What scary thoughts are you having right now? How often do you have them? Are they triggered by something specific? Understanding your fears will only help you as you work to dispel them.
    • Plan your thoughts. Your thoughts have power. Fear of love comes from your thoughts. If you can help yourself, think of thoughts that bring you to a state of love, you will find yourself in that place.
    • Use positive affirmations. Positive affirmations are an excellent tool for anyone trying to think more positively about themselves or the world around them. If you want to know more about writing effective positive affirmations for yourself, read this.

    In Conclusion

    Humanity doesn’t completely understand what love is all about and especially spiritual love because it hasn’t been fully experienced yet; Spiritual love is a divine inheritance, a spiritual gift as a benefita good – the greatest good, through the ladder of love

    Loving someone or something (as opposing to the ladder of love that is the ladder of the fear of love is its utility – enjoying the greatest good) is given to humanity for a very special reason; to develop discernment and stamina; to allow humans to get to know reality in all its aspects, such as love, fear, life, living experiences, success, happiness, satisfaction, and contentment, by exercising the sacred right of free will.

    Chance and choice interact with each other through a free will as they both form the ability to act at one’s discretion; through free will, chances turn to certainties as simple coincidences and choices turn to meaningful coincidences and then to actualities or experiences due to mental phenomenon based on the equity and synchronicity principles; the more strongly people believe in this phenomenon the higher they rate their ability to make decisions freely; the more satisfied they become with their decisions.

    In this case, more and more chances of making the right choices turn to coincidences and then to meaningful coincidences and then to experiences and they work more like inhered human rightor privileges rather than a leap of faith for someone to feel a complete sense of freedom by constantly striving for inner peace or balance through free will.

    After the collective upliftment of human consciousness, chance, choice, and free will become more of an inborn right itself; the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the right timing to get to know spiritual love and enjoy its greatest good; by becoming spiritually awake; taking charge of destiny; finding the long-lost “other half”, and finally becoming complete at the final step on the top of the ladder of love as the ultimate destination and end cause.

    Finally, life as reality is a state of consciousness (intellectual and behavioral characteristics, problem analysis, data analysis, and Judgment) having substance and experiencing existence.

    Consciousness is a cognitive or behavioral system that is mainly based on the:

    • duality principle through critical thinking (combining cognitive, and emotional intelligence into a whole – of the opposing forces as chance, and choice),
    • equivalence principle (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of ability as an equalizing factor) through analytical thinking (analytical intelligence, objective thinking filtering and assessing relevant information and interpreting chances as being equal in value, worth, or function),
    • equality principle through synthetic thinking (splitting the combined opposing into the opposite force of response-to-ability or responsibility as an equalizing factor) through synthetic intelligence, subjective-objective, and reasonable justification of equating choices as being equal in status, rights, or opportunities),
    • The equity principle reflects the basic principle of the golden mean striving for inner peace as the balance between two extremes through the Causal Relationship Cycle due to the resonance principle of balancing chances as coincidences having substance and choices as meaningful coincidences (causes or events) and then experiences (effects or a sequence of events) through action-reaction forces and free will (nonconscious intelligence)
    • The causality principle states that all real events as effects or actual results necessarily have a cause due to the resonance principle by relating the causally unrelated events (yet have some other unknown connection); through this principle, causes as coincidences turn to events or fate, and experiences as effects turn into a sequel of events or destiny (causal intelligence, Cause = Effect = Actual Solution)
    • The synchronicity principle reflects the mechanism for achieving and maintaining inner peace attained by the causality principle – as the balance between two extremes – by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium).

    Duality means the quality or state of having two different forces (divine masculine and divine feminine energies) or elements of love (through the ladder of love) and loving someone or something (through the ladder of fear of love) to create a spiritual-emotional closeness. That is to motivate people to work to stay consciously in a place of love rather than in a place of fear.

    However, fear itself is not a sign of negativity or weakness but a sign of how much someone cares. Scientists find evidence that human beings are born with an innate desire to help others.

    Duality is woven into the very fabric of life for a reason: to teach people that every aspect of life is created through a balanced interaction of opposing and competing forces or elements of love and fear (of love) and how to elevate the ladder of love as chances of success in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love as chances of experiencing success through choices and the exertion of action-reaction forces and free will.

    The duality principle is a state of the combination of two opposing or competing concepts or groups such as feelings and emotions, spirit and soul, spirituality and carnality, self and others, and chances and choices through the critical way of thinking.

    According to the duality principle love (bid to know or sense divine Kallos as an inborn right or chance) is an active force (divine masculine energy) a positive affective stimulus that triggers joy and pleasure as a chance or a cause for change

    Fear of love (asking for experiencing spiritual love to the maximum degree as a choice through free will) is a reactive force to joy and pleasure (divine feminine energy) a negative affective stimulus that triggers emotions of fear and displeasure to resist or sustain change.

    The Equivalence Principle equates an emotion to a feeling as opposite or antagonistic forces through the analytical way of thinking by equating a subjective qualitative measure of love (as a condition) to possibilities, uncertainties, and abilities or core competencies; treats equally love as a virtue, and through purpose (as intention or an actualization force), turns it into a cause (a provable solution).

    The Equality Principle treats fear of love as a moral, which through meaning (as something meant as a reaction to an action, or intended), and turns it into an effect (an actual result deriving from a response-to-ability as an equalizing factor) by subjectiveobjective problem and data analysis, and reasonable justification. In this way, a new common equilibrium point is attained.

    According to the Equity Principle feelings and emotions are balanced gaining both timing and momentum after an internal transformation process through the causal effect relationship where they finally form the actual solution as a single event deriving from a single meeting point of:

    • the ability to exercise choice through action-reaction forces and free will as a human’s birthright or privilege.
    • to feel free to know divine Kallos and offer love to others (bid to know or sense divine beauty by leveraging love and help) that also means (bid as an attempt to freely know and offer love or help) through self-reflection by being in a state of being free of fear, brave, or fearless (self-reflection curve).
    • to be free to accept love and offer help from/to others (by asking to experience help to its maximum potential) through self-conceptualization by being selfless and concerned more about your own needs [self-conceptualization curve meeting with the self-reflection curve at the equilibrium point (1) or to be].
    • fear of love means to feel neither free to know divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by offering love nor to use it to its maximum advantage by accepting help from others by being selfish and fearful at the same time and refers to a mental blockage of the procedure or spiritual-emotional distantness – instead of closeness – through polarization at the edges, leading obviously to paralysis.
    • to qualify to know or sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence by providing love and help to others (supply or offer love and help as a skill or an effort) through the self-satisfaction curve (dealing with difficult emotions of fear of rejection) and
    • to be response-able for returning the love and help as a reward for the love and help you receive from others (demand love or help in return for the love or help provided) through the self-fulfillment curve [dealing with overflowing feelings of love and acceptance meeting with self-satisfaction curve at the equilibrium point (2) or to exist].
    • Inner peace means being in a state of experiencing happiness [(self-satisfaction through self-actualization which is: the complete realization of one’s potential, and self-realization which is: the full development of one’s abilities and appreciation for life) and self-contentment (self-fulfillment through self-imagination which is the imagination of an event from a personal perspective which means destined to happen or to exist or simply destiny) at the same time [supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium, or self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (which means self-actualized or self-realized or meant to have substance or simply fate or purpose).
    • This self-actualization – self-imagination equilibrium point (3) or meant to be (fate or purpose) and meant to exist (destiny or meaning), finally coincides with both the self-reflection – self-conceptualization equilibrium point (1) or to be, and the self-satisfaction – self-fulfillment equilibrium point (2) or to exist.

    Inner peace means finding your peace of mind by attaining happiness, contentment, and bliss no matter how difficult things get in your life; it reflects the equilibrium point of self-visualization – self conceptualization (action-reaction)self-inspection – self-introspection (ability-responsibility) and self-actualization – self-imagination (cause-effect) by following the basic principle of the golden mean.

    According to the equity principle, attaining or achieving inner peace or balance is only possible through the spirit-soul-mind-body connection through the intersection equilibrium point of the spiritual-emotional-mental-physical axes at the center of the heart by balancing chance and choice through action-reaction forces and free will (where – to be – as a cause, timing or space coincides with – to exist – as an effect, momentum or time, with – meant to be – forming an actual solution as space-time or the present moment).

    According to the causality principle, all real events necessarily have a cause; by perceiving the actual solution either as a single event (conceived by consciousness as life, meaning, event, or fate) or as an ongoing process, a sequence of circumstances or events (conceived by consciousness as a living experience, a coherent reality, purpose or destiny) where always by default cause equates with effect.

    The innate desire to complete ourselves is fulfilled by loving and helping others until finding the long-lost “other half” (as Plato suggests) as a mechanism on the road to blissful love that reflects the supreme concept of beauty as the ultimate prize, that is the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) through constant empowerment and upliftment of human consciousness maintained by the synchronicity principle.

    The constant adjustment of their alignment through the above mechanism for maintaining inner peace as the balance between two extremes is attained by offering and accepting love and help (supply-demand equilibrium, love-in-love equilibrium) through the love-in-love equilibrium point of the love-in-love curves as balancing factors.

    Real-Life Examples & Remarks


    Ps. In order to better comprehend the important concepts of this significant topic here is an example:
    THE IMPORTANCE OF LOVE IN PRACTICE
    Just imagine a sailing boat where love is the wind that blows. Loving someone or something through the fear of love is its sails. The equilibrium point is the imaginary alignment of the angle of the craft, the sails, and the rudder as the touching point with the surface of the water so as to push the sailing boat forward.
    Resilience is the character, quality, and endurance of the craft against unexpected weather conditions and the fury of the waves of the sea.
    Behavior is the compass that always points toward the dynamic blissful equilibrium of love as the port of the ultimate destination.
    The skills of the captain in order to keep the craft on the right track are also equally important to the choice of the appropriate path, the experience of the adventure of the trip, and the final destination.
    It is easier though for the captain to try paths with calm waters and not to go against the wind.
    However, without wind and sails, the craft doesn't move at all. This is the central idea and the significant point that we have to keep in mind:
    No love means no wind and no change; no fear means no sailing no 
    choice and no movement; that further means no port and no tranquility; no purpose and no meaning of life; a missed opportunity to find the port of the blissful equilibrium of love in this lifetime.
    But there is no reason to worry. A missed opportunity is not a lost cause but a chance for spiritual upliftment on the ladder of love until the next momentum for movement arrives.
    According to Plato the ultimate destination of humanity is the knowledge of the essence of beauty and not the love itself. That is to apprehend the form of beauty in a kind of vision.
    Visualization is a picture of the mind. Conceptualization is the formation of an idea. Imagination is a mental faculty and is beyond conceivable. In this sense, the essence of the beauty of love is to acknowledge that conceptualization, visualization, and imagination all come together in order to become a whole; What we do not conceive with our senses is also another form of reality as long as we can imagine it as an idea in a form that we choose from. 
    This is an elevated state of consciousness where we become able to overcome our doubts, worries, and fears and consciously sense the true, the real, and the authentic all at once; that is to finally apprehend the essence of the beauty of love in its all forms at once that's actually the beauty of the knowledge of the essence of love in all its forms. 
    The beauty of the knowledge and acceptance of the essence of self and others with no distinction and judgment; by expressing freely our uniqueness, and the authenticity of ourselves, and by accepting with gratitude coincidences (the occurrence of events that seem to have no cause) as synchronicities (the coincidental occurrence of meaningful coincidences or events) in our life by understanding that everything happens for a reason; as omens of always being on the right path by being in sync with the “heartbeat of the Earth”. 
    That is actually the whisper of spiritual love calling us to the top of the ladder of love; this is exactly where our earthly reality vibrates; at that level, we just have to learn how to be spiritually selfish that is to focus on ourselves during our spiritual awakening so that we can raise our vibration and finally become a conscious co-creator of our own earthly reality!
    -------------------------------
    Fate or Destiny?
    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FATE AND DESTINY
    The term fate “moira” in Greek means "what has been said". Thus, fate is based on people's belief system that there is an order-uniformity in the universe that cannot be changed, no matter how hard we may try and struggle. 
    Our ancient ancestors believed that the three deities (moirae) - Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos - or the three Fates, were the ones who decided the final course of human beings, not taking into account their will or their belief in something better than they themselves could bring about.
    On a spiritual level, fate (moira) is the inevitable that always materializes (pre-determined to materialize, to be or to have substance) and will continue to materialize when we ignore our own life and do nothing to reconnect with our soul or true nature. 
    When we abandon the course of our lives to fate, we are basically surrendering control of it to others, as well as to external situations. When we make no effort - nothing, that is, to consciously change and evolve, what happens is fatal (moireo). That is the "play" of fate.
    Destiny “pepromeno” in Greek, on the other hand, denotes more positive associations than fate. In Latin, the word referring to destiny "destinare" means "that which is fixed". Although this definition also refers to the idea of pre-determined events, destiny is something we can shape and change if we will and commit ourselves (pre-destined to experience existence or to exist). 
    On the opposite side of fate, there is that element of choice in destiny. Qualities such as courage, compassion, willpower, and patience can greatly assist in changing destiny.
    Fate vs Destiny
    Fate is what we are unable to change. Destiny, on the other hand, is that which we plan and intend to do so that we do not surrender to the randomness of fate. While fate, on the one hand, is precisely what happens when we do not take responsibility for life, destiny, on the other hand, is nothing more than what happens when there is the necessary commitment to further growth - that is, to have the will to take risks (through choice and free will). 
    The well-known popular saying "...it is in your destiny to succeed" is only achieved through active and conscious commitments and decisions, with patience, perseverance, continuity, and consistency. As it is now understood, fate is what materializes when the course of life is left to others, who, along with the external circumstances they are subjected to, direct and determine the course and outcome of life.
    It is extremely important to never doubt or forget that there are infinite possibilities in life. Fulfilling destiny means consciously redirecting the flow of our lives always in the specific direction we desire. 
    While subjectively this means having and maintaining control and choice, such a thing does not objectively exist-such a thing as control or choice because the concept of "I" and "others" do not exist except in the mind.
    So in this way, the answer to "we have control over our lives" is paradoxical, because we both have and do not have control over the course of our lives. It's a bit more complicated than that. 
    How is Destiny Fulfilled?
    I think it is time to look at how destiny is fulfilled. As long as it is consciously sought to be deciphered, developed, and evolved into a spiritual one, that is to consciously realize that destiny is somehow self-fulfilled (meant to experience existence or simply meant to exist).
    While we are still operating at the level of ourselves, that is, our personality, our character, and our behavior, it is extremely important that we work so that we can take charge of our destiny. 
    On spiritual paths, destiny is closely tied to the overall course of life, all the way to the end. When taking responsibility for life is chosen, destiny is also actively shaped, rather than simply leaving life to its fate. 
    Fulfilling destiny involves the conscious development of a relationship with the deeper inner self and maturation on a spiritual-intellectual, emotional, mental, and physical level.
    However, if there is a will (determination) to achieve it to the fullest extent possible, there is a way: We understand and deal with ourselves. We start now to reflect on our fate of who/what we are, that is to consciously understand where and how we are going through spiritual awakening keeping always in mind, that the course of our life is somehow self-actualized or self-realized (meant also to have substance and not simply meant to be).
    Are Fate and Destiny Forces?
    Destiny is actually the reflection of fate. Fate and destiny are interaction forces; a balanced interaction towards a new situation or occurrence in which two or more objects or events as a cause act upon one another to produce a new effect by providing and accepting love and help.
    Therefore, fate furthermore as a cause reflects feelings, actions, truths, virtues, purpose, timing, character, possibilities, spiritual love, space, abilities, intent, certainties, and self-realization.
    Destiny as an effect reflects emotions, reactions, values, morals, momentum, meaning, behavior, time, probabilities, fear of love, actualities, and self-fulfillment.
    That further means that there are no real distinct boundaries between fate and destiny, past and future, cause and effect, chance and choice as they all constitute parts of the same procedure or the mechanism of how consciousness works through free will.
    In reality, consciousness always evolves by living consciously in the present moment (neither in the past nor in the future) where everything materializes, happens, or co-exists (always meant to have purpose and meaning) as they both form and reflect the actual solutions to any problems, desires or challenges that someone can face in life through free will.
    Fate as a Choice, Faith or Right?
    Therefore, in order to complete ourselves is to finally know, and sense divine Kallos as beauty or excellence as an inhered right or life's purpose (through the ladder of love) and to experience spiritual love (through the ladder of fear of love) as life's meaning through action-reaction forces and free will as well, both at the same time and to the same density or degree. Purpose and meaning of life form together the actual solution that reflects both the intended materialization and the ultimate fulfillment of a deep need or desire as an inborn right or privilege rather than a forced by life's circumstances choice or even as a leap of faith. In this way, things will set right with no more drama, pain, or misfortune in line with personal virtues (by exploiting purposefully the best or strongest abilities) and thus experiencing existence according to the collective morals (as a meaningful response to own abilities) in a way as they were always meant to be. That further means to live and exist where the authentic or pure meaning of life through destiny reflects the intended fate as the true personal potential and not as a simple choice based on a leap of faith. In this way fate as spiritual in heritage and destiny as a conquest act upon one another (fate as a purpose of life sets coincidences as destiny and destiny in turn as a meaning of living as synchronicities determines fate) to produce a new effect as interaction forces through free will: by giving space to an ongoing spiritual evolution through the present moment as an absolute solution, by finding finally the long lost "other half" where the ultimate bliss resides, by sensing or knowing of divine Kallos both as a spiritual love, inheritance or spiritual gift (by exploiting the best abilities) and by finally experiencing spiritual love as a prize or conquest (by exercising the best abilities to the fullest). --------------------------------- What is the golden mean Nicomachean Ethics? THE GOLDEN MEAN IN ARISTOTLE'S NICOMACHEAN ETHICS The golden mean or golden middle way is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency; it is an age old principle which holds that virtue lies between the extremes. According to the principle, each moral virtue is a mean or lies between extremes of pleasure or of action -- doing or feeling too much or too little. The absolute mean is different from the mean as it is relative to the individual. It appeared in Greek thought at least as early as the Delphic maxim "nothing in excess", was discussed in Plato's Philebus. Aristotle analyzed the golden mean in the Nicomachean Ethics Book II: That virtues of character can be described as means. It was subsequently emphasized in Aristotelian virtue ethics. For example, in the Aristotelian view, courage is a virtue, but if taken to excess would manifest as rashness, and, in deficiency, cowardice (see the table below: Sphere Of Action Or Feeling, Excess, Mean, Deficiency). The Writer's Point of View: According to the writer's point of view the ultimate purpose and meaning of life for humanity is to finally reach and maintain this desirable middle of golden mean as an equilibrium point of a spiritual mental state of pure bliss by consciously offering help (not giving) and start accepting (not receiving) love through a transactional activity and not by exchanging love to help (an act by giving love and receiving help in return).

    The term transaction comes from traditional economic science and refers to the transactional activity between two or more persons. Transactional activity is an agreement between parties to exchange goods, services or monetary consideration (or different goods in the original transactional society which has now been abolished) to meet the needs of both parties. At the equilibrium point that is the center of everything there is an infinite wellspring of creativity and love (The Golden Mean Flow Chart). One fundamental purpose of human life is to cut through all the layers of the ladder of love (in conjunction with the ladder of fear of love) as levels of challenges by levering the most efficient character facets while exploiting the most efficient to each and every case behavioral tactics, and to uncover this wellspring within yourself, then let it flow through you. You are a musical instrument, and the purpose of life is to allow the eternal Music of Being to play you, producing a unique song only you can produce by following the principle of golden mean mentioned above by consciously offering and accepting love and help (instead of simply or mechanically giving and receiving love and help). In this way love as your own energy comes back as pleasurable pure essence or music at the very core of your existence.

    ———————————————————————————————-

    P.S. This article is much longer than a usual one. It is not by accident. It happens for a reason. As everything else in this world. The reason is simple. It’s a tiny honor to the Great Hymn of Love. “The silver lining”. 

    Some scientists or gurus on the subject around the world insist lately that there is enough evidence that personality creates personal reality. This according to my humble opinion and because of my personal research is half correct and half wrong. This reflects exactly the play of duality. Every concept comes with its counterpart image, even ourselves.

    Personality is basically a concept and an idea. Surprisingly the same happens with reality. It’s not only about sex male or female but it’s also about it. It has to do with those two opposing archetypal energies though. Divine masculine and feminine energies. It’s so confusing but so real. It happens for a very special reason. Doubt is the key to unlocking reality. To create and sustain reality.

    Doubt reflects duality. Love and be afraid. But fear is actually the absence of love. So, what is the difference between those two phrases? None! The only difference is that they refer to a concept and an idea, one is the reflection of the other as an illusion. It’s actually misleading, a trick of consciousness, nothing less and nothing more. A dirty trick that is a key to unlocking the door to the theater of a reality show, but with purpose and meaning.

    Personal reality reflects exactly your personality. Character is attitude and behavior is perspective. Sides of the same coin. Chance and choice. Fate and destiny. Love and fear. Truth and lie. Right and wrong. Day and night. White and black. Sun and moon. Original and imitation. Prototype and idol. The reality that you believe that you are in that you see and feel is nothing more than an optical illusion and its reflection both at the same time.

    Reality is just a glimpse into the past and the future through the present moment, that is something much more than what you believe as a biological child of your parents and something much less than what you think as a spiritual child of the divine. Everything is one. Everything is connected. Children of love and romance. Of masculine and feminine divine energy. But life is neither in unity nor in division. The connecting link is always the present moment.

    Life lies between concepts and ideas. Between the lines. Between chance and choice and cause and effect. Life is the causal effect. Personality does not coincide nor create reality. Reality is both an illusion and a reflection, as the two aspects of personality, within the prism of the present moment.

    Fulfillment is a feeling of achievement that leads to happiness. Contentment is an emotion of completion as a state of satisfaction. Fulfillment reflects fullness. Lack of fulfillment leads to emptiness. Fullness and emptiness are relative terms.

    Fullness declares space as momentum. Emptiness declares time as timing. Time is an illusion a simple idea. Space is a simple notion. Nothingness is their intersection point (space-time). It reflects whatever comes to creation acknowledged by our senses (pan) whenever there comes to existence perceived by our senses again (holon).

    Living consciously into nothingness is the meeting point of the spirit and soul and the meaning of blissfulness is the ultimate prize of purpose and meaning of life. The present moment is nothing more than a moment into nothingness. A virtual play of the senses.

    It’s not really what you feel and what you think, as many believe, but the attitude and behavior toward the facts, conditions, and situations. Therefore, nothing is created but neither is destroyed. Life and death are just sensations and illusions. However, nothing constitutes an objective reality. Just a lesson down on earth. An adventure in practice. An impression of reality.

    As long as you live you actually exist between two worlds. One of the alive and one of the dead. But you are not part of none of those worlds either. You live and exist right there in between but you are not really consciously aware of it. And this is because of personality and consciousness.

    So, there is no reason to worry. You cannot die but you can still live. And this happens because of the presence of personality. Cherish personality. Take care of it as something precious. As a divine present. But do not forget that you are not what your personality dictates. Personality is just the vehicle. You’re something much more and much greater. A personality is just an act in the theater of the divine.

    You are a persona but not the person you think and believe you are. Keep in mind and accept your role with stoic behavior. Do not despair. Be optimistic. Which means to be realistic. Do not forget your origin but mostly your holy destination. Claim back your birthright, your earthy power as your divine mission. And above all always remember.

    You are the silver lining!

     

    How Personality Makes Personal Reality?

    In this article, we will review in detail how a potential rift in the chain of causal relationships that form personal reality because of a shift in blissful awareness can also cause a shift to the human living experience and the way an individual thinks, feels, acts, reacts, behaves, or interacts with his internal-external environment by aligning his belief system that contributes to the gradual development of personality in order to create and at the same time adapt to a new personal reality.

    The Causal Relationship Cycle

    Copyright 2021 yourspiritualquest.com – The Causal Relationship Cycle

    The causal relationship cycle refers to the distinct relationship, causality, or causation as an actual solution between the actual root cause of a struggle, problem, or risk that under certain conditions or circumstances gives rise to the actuality that is the actual effect or result of the solution to the problem or risk at hand.

    In a previous article, we reviewed in detail the creation and existence of causal relationships between variables such as facts from the past as strong character traits or abilities that affect future behaviors as events, effects, or response abilities as morals or conditions of measurement of the sizes of these relationships.

    The chain of causal relationships forms energetic ties between character traits and the subsequent behaviors as energetic links that once formed can never break and extend from one energetic link to another. Space as a cause, time as an effect, and timing as their causal-effect relationship.

    This is an ongoing process forming the present as the causal relationship cycle or causal-effect continuum gaining momentum and experienced as an actual reality. In fact, momentum reflects the force that a moving human body has because of its weight and motion drawn together to the appropriate circumstances by adjusting the facts as weight (density) to the ways as motion (frequency) of something happening by altering in this way the actual solution that is the specific details of an event.

    What is Happiness? 

    Copyright 2021 yourspiritualquest.com – Bliss Creation Flow Chart Diagram

    Happiness is defined as a mental state as well as a psychological factor. Happiness is when one’s wishes, expectations, or desires are attained or achieved. It is about how you express your inner environment that contributes to the development of personality, the maintenance of health and well-being, and the etiology of mental characteristics and character disorders. It can be defined as an instant experience that is enjoyable, feels extremely nice. The only bad thing is that it goes away as time goes on.

    The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle made a distinction between two different kinds of happiness: hedonie (ηδονή) and eudaimonia (ευδαιμονία). Hedonie: Hedonic happiness is derived from pleasure. Eudaimonia: This type of happiness is derived from seeking virtue and meaning. Hedonie and eudaimonia are more commonly known today in psychology as pleasure and meaning, respectively. 

    What is virtue ethics by Aristotle and other ancient Greeks? It is the quest to understand and live a life of a moral character by practicing being honest, brave, just, generous, and so on, for a person to develop an honorable and moral character.

    What do human needs mean? Human needs are commonly used to refer to the drivers of human actions and to the motives behind human behavior. They also refer to the elements that contribute to the achievement of the goal of a satisfying life (such as good jobs, income, health care, status) as requirements or standards of behavior needed for the realization of the goal, including fears of failure.

    Why do people have desires? Desire is an inherent part of human life. Desire is closely linked to pleasure (hedonie) and pain or fear of pain. We take pleasure in things that, in the course of evolution, tend to promote the survival and reproduction of our species and pain in those that do not. Things like health, wealth, comfort, good relationships, success, good offspring, and fame are designed to be enjoyable and therefore desirable.

    Some types of happiness such as personal happiness include an individual’s direct assessment of their own worth, skills, or abilities, which encompasses beliefs or virtues (truths) about one’s real or authentic self towards the attainment or achievement of emotional or psychological factors (desires) such as self-esteem, self-assurance, self-confidence, self-love, and self-trust (eudaimonia as a virtue).

    What is satisfaction? 

    Satisfaction is a pleasant or positive feeling or state of mind. Satisfaction is when a need is fulfilled and the feeling gained from such fulfillment. It is a state of inner contentment. It has to do with how you perceive your external environment that contributes to the development of personality, the maintenance of health and well-being, and the impact of mental and behavioral disorders.

    It is also the feeling that you get when you spend your days doing things that are important to you or mean something to you.  Your dopamine levels are high at that moment.

    Some types of satisfaction are the personal satisfaction that includes an individual’s honest evaluation of their own capabilities that encompasses satisfaction of one’s fulfillment of their basic living requirements in regards to their own values or principles such as self-empowerment, self-enabling, self-emancipation, self-sufficiency, self-mastery, and self-validation (eudaimonia as a meaning).

    What is Bliss?

    Copyright 2021 yourspiritualquest.com – Desires-Needs Bliss Equilibrium

    Bliss is a state of mind when both your desires and needs are met. To reach a state of perfect happiness. Ignoring anything else. Supreme happiness. Absolute joy or satisfaction. An earthly paradise. The path to eternal bliss. The supreme essence of happiness. Supreme happiness. Absolute joy or satisfaction.

    What is an example of bliss? A definition of bliss is absolute happiness. An example of bliss is what one feels after a relaxing massage. An example of bliss is the act of doing the job you love. Extreme happiness. Ecstasy. Perfect happiness. Great joy. Complete happiness.

    Copyright 2021 yourspiritualquest.com – Bliss Equilibrium Causal Relationship Chart

    Bliss equilibrium is a situation in which external physical influences and internal psychological forces that reflect an individual’s personality (character and behavior) are balanced in the absence of internal factors or external influences on the belief system (of values and truths), will not change.

    Bliss equilibrium is also a situation where the human behavior towards the satisfaction of external needs matches the individual’s character against happiness as an internal psychological pre-state with an emotional base.

    Copyright 2021 yourspiritualquest.com – Bliss Equilibrium

    Blissful awareness is a type of mentality (beyond bliss), characterized by the absence of both intensity of happiness as a factor (emotional or psychological) and the feeling of contentment or satisfaction by living consciously in the present moment without minding being in a state of selflessness, fearlessness, helplessness, and powerlessness (inner peace).

    If there is a shift in an individual’s behavior because of a shift in bliss awareness while character remains unchanged in the short term (just because of its nature), then there comes a disequilibrium as an inner disturbance (emotional pain or fear of pain), a deterioration in the living experience, and a decrease in happiness (causing unhappiness) due to the increase to the external dissatisfaction.

    However, a longer-term shift in character as a subsequent shift in the outdated values of the belief system (or by developing an honorable and moral character as Aristotle claims) can cause a lift of the degree of happiness and satisfaction altering gradually an individual’s personality upgrading the living experience by adjusting the equilibrium level of personal reality on a higher plane.

    What is a blissful person? The definition of a blissful person is to be extremely happy, or it is something that makes someone feel happy. If you are madly in love, getting married, and feel like you have a perfect life, this is an example of a time when you are blissful. It is a state of being consciously delighted, glad, gratified, happy, joyful, joyous.

    Is bliss an emotion? Bliss is a feeling, an emotion, and a psychological factor at the same time. However, blissful awareness is a mentality towards a state of unity, transcendence, fullness, knowledge, wholeness, and elevated consciousness. It is a sense of unity and a sense of connection at the same time with all creation. Blissful awareness is never boring. It always feels new, expansive, and infinite.

    Happiness vs Satisfaction 

    What is the difference between happiness and satisfaction?

    Although related, happiness and life satisfaction are not the same things. Happiness is a psychological pre-state of bliss, while satisfaction is a physiological state of contentment. Happiness is a psychological factor with an emotional base. Satisfaction is a physiological factor based on body feelings and sensations.

    If you are wondering what is important to you – it depends on your beliefs and ideology. You can find happiness in the little things in life. For example, eating your favorite ice cream can make you feel happy, but if you deeply feel guilty, then you will not feel satisfied.

    Happiness is an immediate experience although enjoyable, it is ultimately elusive. Happiness is often lost when a person fails to achieve something, but satisfaction only decreases when the person can not achieve something. Actually, someone sees things from a different perspective in both cases. A healthy life certainly includes moments of happiness, but happiness alone does not usually lead to a full and fulfilling life.

    What is personal satisfaction? The phrase “personal satisfaction” refers to a person’s sense of accomplishment or state of being satisfied. Having a feeling of joy or pleasure because of something you did or something that happened to you by being absolutely sure, convinced, or confident about something.

    You will achieve satisfaction when the source of your happiness and success is aligned with your inner beliefs (belief system of values and truths) and the way you see yourself and the world. Being satisfied means doing work in a way that makes sense to you. So, in a way, aiming for happiness is a better way to do things efficiently while aiming for satisfaction is a better way to complete things effectively. 

    Bliss vs Happiness

    What is the difference between bliss and happiness? Happiness is a psychological factor, based mostly on emotions while bliss is a combined state of mind, body, and spirit that are connected through the heart in perfect balance. Happiness appears as an aroused state of mind and whatever is in a state of excitement returns to a bliss state.

    Full Definition of Personality

    What is the real meaning of personality? Personality refers to the combination of qualities, attitudes, tendencies, values, principles, and standards of behaviors that make a person distinct from others.

    Personality reflects a characteristic way of thinking, feeling, or behaving. Personality embraces moods, attitudes, views, and beliefs and is more clearly expressed in interactions with other people.

    Personality is also the way one interacts with one’s environment, the feelings and emotions one experiences, the things one does, the way one behaves, and the impressions one creates about the environment in which one operates. It concerns the footprint of the personality and differs radically from person to person just like the fingerprint.

    In this way, even if a person’s innate preference is to avoid something, his/her beliefs and especially the beliefs that shape his/her character and behavior can evolve to reflect the truths, values, and morals in the immediate family and wider environment. Knowledge, awareness, and adaptability help in survival.

    Main Componets of Personality

    According to Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality, personality is composed of three elements. These three elements of personality known as the id, the ego, and the superego work together to create complex human behaviors.

    As we already saw above, according to consciousness, the three main elements or components of personality are the character as a cause based on psychological or emotional factors, the behavior as the effect of external influences affected by physiological body feelings and sensations, and their causal-effect relationship that is felt both as self-resonant frequency and finally as an ongoing personal reality.

    Personality is also the combination of characteristics, values, morals, and qualities, or a mix of masculine character and feminine behavioral traits no matter the gender’s identity, that shape a person’s distinctive character and behavior.

    The character, on the other hand, is a more difficult beast. Character refers to a set of moral values, mental qualities, and truths that make a person different from others. Personality is subjective, as the character is also subjective despite the fact that most people believe that character is objective.

    Character is conceived as the density of happiness as the cause and the effect is expressed as the frequency of satisfaction, while bliss is perceived as an inner-balance of their causal-effect relationship through the preconscious-conscious-subconscious (Mind-Spirit-Body) respectively.

    If a person believes that a change in their environment is significant, then their beliefs will be transformed to respond or adapt to the change, but their values in the short term will remain virtually unchanged.

    While personality is easier to identify, it is largely static and slow to evolve. The character, on the other hand, needs more time to discern and is more difficult or almost impossible to change.

    This is because the character is shaped by belief systems and values as truths and requires a lot of effort and motivation, changing one’s perspective and view of their inner world that can lead to a change in character.

    Personality also constitutes the main component of social interaction. New social and external demands lead to an internal change that changes human behavior.

    How does personality contributes to reality? I believe that character refers to the values that attract subjective behavior in each and every circumstance. The character refers to the means and scenarios that one will use, and the conditions that compose these scenarios taking into account the possibilities of success and skills that one has. These scenarios through the mechanism of consciousness come to fruition creating the living experience.

    Thus, the real character is about value, efficiency, or performance while honest behavior is about morals and effectiveness. Both are supported by the analytical way of thinking reviewed in detail in another article.

    The way the character is exposed is through a series of behavioral tests in order to achieve the goal with the desired result. The character is often hidden in layers of different and conflicting interests.

    Changing character makes sense when you look collectively at human evolution. In order for our ancestors to survive and thrive, they had to adapt to new environments and change.

    If one is never really tested, the
