What is love? From where does love come? Why is it everywhere? Let’s ask. Let’s be scientists.

Science: Life energy is unique. Of all known forms of energy, be it heat, gamma rays, x-rays, or any other electromagnetic radiation, life energy is unique because it is anti-entropic, that is, all other forms of energy decay, just as a fire eventually burns out. Only life energy organises elemental materials into more highly complex forms and systems. This is very unusual.

Let’s just sit with this for a moment. In the entirety of the known universe, only life energy flows in an opposite direction to entropy. Life energy is anti-entropic, organising, and harmonising. It takes elements such as aluminium, iron, silicon, and manganese and orders them into staggeringly complex forms, such as tigers, trees, people, and birds. This indicates life energy, whatever it is, is a highly creative and intelligent energy form. Life energy is the creative consciousness of the universe.

The opposite of life we call ‘death’, which is not actually death, but only the leaving of life energy – just as turning off a fountain does not create anything new; it only stops the flow of water and results in a change of state we call ‘dry’. If there weren’t life, there wouldn’t be death, just as if there were no water we wouldn’t be able to compare it with dry.

Thesis: Because love exactly replicates the characteristics of life energy, it is apparent that either love is brought in or carried by life energy, or the reverse is true, that life energy is brought in or carried by love. The two are not identical, but inseparable. Love also is a harmonising, organising, coherent energy form. Any emotion or emotional state that moves in the direction of love moves in the direction of life energy.

Any emotion or emotional state that moves in the direction of the opposite of love moves in the direction of death energy, or, toward entropy and chaos. If any emotion carried by love violates this harmony or energetic ordering, then the thesis is false.

Thesis proof: Emotions and emotional states such as courage, joy, bliss, compassion, calm, or happiness feel intuitively pleasant because they are carried by love. These are harmonious, organising, anti-chaotic emotional states, and replicate exactly the characteristics of life energy. Beauty is carried by love. Compassion is carried by love. So is laughter.

Emotions and emotional states such as anxiety, fear, malice, anger, envy, greed, or jealousies feel unpleasant because they are carried upon the disharmony, tendency to chaos, and incoherence characterised by the leaving of life energy known as death. In these emotions, energy flows from a higher to a lower state. Nothing is ever created by these emotions. They do not build or organise. They dissolve and dissipate life force energy.

Emotions or emotional states carried by love exist in higher states of consciousness because they are building, organising, constructive forms of energy. Love moves consciousness in a higher and higher direction. Love is the condition that allows consciousness to increase to higher levels, just as life energy organises elements into higher levels of complexity. Love is the creative consciousness of the universe. Emotions or emotional states that participate in life energy are pleasant because they agree with the organising, coherent intelligence of life itself. Love, as well as life energy, is coherent, and therefore rational.

Love is never a limited resource or a resource of scarcity. In this way too it replicates the continuous outpouring of the creative essence of life energy. The unconditional, continuous outpouring of love is the basis for what is called Christ consciousness, Buddha enlightenment, or Krishna consciousness. This is consciousness consciously purified of death energy. It is a consciousness that contains only love.

Trauma, fear, greed, ingratitude, angst, anxiety, worry, fret, nervousness, chaotic thought streams, loneliness, unworthiness, every imaginable negative product of consciousness is eliminated by simply moving toward love. Every single soul ‘virus’ carried by mankind is inoculated against by moving toward love. Simply moving toward love elevates every situation, every interaction, every result and every effect. The answers are all quite simple in the end. No therapy is required for this movement, no shamanic rituals, no long or arduous donkey ride to guru in mountainous terrain; no chemical adulterants to the brain are necessary. The answers arrive by selecting one cardinal direction to move in life and going where the journey will lead.
