'Love' refers to the level of consciousness here:

I've been on the 'Reason' level of consciousness for a few years now, and am looking to progress to the 'Love' level of consciousness. I fully realize that a higher level of thinking is required in order to progress to the next level. This will likely require a change in my belief system, but the only answer that I have found thus far does not appeal to me.
The only logical path I currently know of towards achieving 'Love' is to adopt a subjective model of reality, where everyone is a projection of my own consciousness and we're all somehow consciously interconnected. I have read how Steve and Erin have benefited from adopting a subjective model of reality; namely how Steve described how he overcame fear in his aptly-named 'Overcoming Fear' podcast, as well as how interactions with other people have improved significantly by approaching others assuming said preexisting interconnection already exists.
My current judgement on this topic is that the ends don't justify the means. I would feel it a compromise of integrity to lie to myself that nobody and nothing else really exists except in my own mind; that I could not trust my senses; and that somehow everything is controlled by the unknowable. In short, I'd be lying to myself to achieve the outcome I desire. I believe that there must be another way.
Within an objective reality, how can one achieve the 'love' level of consciousness? What set of beliefs must I understand, analyze, and adopt before I can progress? Or is this something that cannot occur at the level of 'Reason', and I'll forever be stuck at 'Reason' until I logically decide that logic can only go so far?
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
