None of us can imagine a world without love, but how many of us actually know what love truly is?

Is it the romantic, idealized love that we see in story and song all around us, or is there something deeper, something ‘richer’ than what we’ve been ‘sold’ over the centuries.

As you would expect, the Vedic worldview holds that there is something deeper and richer to love than that which the vast majority of us experience.

Ironically, the thing that prevents us from experiencing true love for others, is the lack of Self love. Listen in as Thom explains the ‘mechanics’ of love and the Self-referral phenomenon that it is.
