Look at the heart of celibacy. Why do you think religious figures took this path? They may or may not have had a reason for rejecting their natural impulses. |
This gets to the heart of where I seem to fundamentally disagree with Steve.
The idea that no way of loving is better or worse than any other. Or specifically that all relationship styles equally improve your alignment with Truth, Love and Power, I refuse.
I do agree that individuals can be at different stages of development in their ability to love. And they pursue a certain relationship style because that's their capacity to give love is at that point in their life.
But that a move from say, monogamy to polyamory, is just a move sideways. Or that individuals aren't supposed to be converging towards the same thing is wrong.
The problem here is the disagreement about the word "Love". Specifically, what does it mean to love more? How do you improve it in quality and quantity?
He separates "Love" and "Oneness", saying love is choosing to connect and oneness is recognizing the existing connection. I understand those definitions, but why?
