Jan 8, 2023

The radical act of loving others both for who they are right now, and who they could yet become... and our willingness to 'leap ahead' on behalf of one another's being as a way of bringing our love into the world. What it is to love as a choice rather than as a feeling, to act in the best interest of others, to love those our culture tells us not to love, and a conversation along the way about the coaching work we do and teach at Thirdspace.

Here's our source for this week:
The Meaning of Love
Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of their personality. No-one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless they Love them.
By the Spiritual act of Love they are enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, they see that which is potential in them; which is not yet actualised but yet ought to be actualised.
Furthermore by their Love, the Loving Person enables the Beloved person to actualise these potentialities. By making them aware of what they can be and of what they should become, they make these potentialities come true.
