Core Qualities of Love
- Love fundamentally embodies pure goodness and a desire for the good of others without self-interest.
- It is inherently generous, giving of oneself without expecting anything in return, encompassing beauty and appreciation.
Awareness vs Love Distinction
- Awareness itself is not neutral or without flavor; it is radiant and alive but distinct from love.
- Love is a dynamic overflow of awareness, adding layers of appreciation and giving beyond pure perception.
Five Dimensions of Fundamental Nature
- Our fundamental nature has multiple dimensions including presence, creative dynamism, emptiness, awareness, and love.
- Emptiness is always linked with awareness and love; it can't exist independently.
