The Purpose of Love (The Power to Create, Cure, and Heal)

To Love is to value without Purpose or Gain. 

The Purpose of Love is to Heal and Create. 

Near what I would call “the end” of my research on the Philosopher’s Compass, Love surfaced time and time again. Growing up without Love from either Parents, Lovers, or (later) husbands, the concept was one that I struggled with for a long time. 

Certainly, I felt love for my children and my cats. Certainly, I felt love for music, books, and dance. But “Love” outside of those contexts. I did not understand. It wasn’t until my current Partner that I came to know and understand love as it is meant to be. 

And the more I studied the Science of Love, the more I realized, time and time again, The Constant theme that I could not deny. Love soothed. Love healed. Love restored Faith. Love birthed Hope. Love made me move again, live again, believe again. Love for the Self. Love for my Partner. Love for my Children. And ultimately, Love for mankind.

When we suffer, we turn toward our Loved ones. When the passing of a loved one occurs, families and friends gather around to heal. It is not the grieving that heals us. But the Love of others and the shared memory of Love for the one lost that heals us. 

Love Heals. I know there will be many people who read this book who will cry with despair as they think, “Well! I’m screwed! No one loves me!” I was one of them. But, I do want to reassure you something when reading the pages of this book.

Love is 100% birthed without any required resources. It is the *only* thing that exists without any need for prerequisites. Love truly just is. Part of the healing journey is that, as you come to learn of your Self, and thus, Learn to love your Self, your new-found Self Love will birth a new hope and realization : That you are loveable. That you can find love. That you will be loved. And it is only a matter of time. 

The best thing about healing is that, once you are healed, you will have the best version of yourself ready to gift to your future loved one. And even if you walk away not seeking the love of friends or lovers, Self Love is truly all you need.   

Nothing heals as deeply and as warmly as love. As you heal, open your heart to receive it. From yourself first and most of all.
