Defining Divine Love
- Loving God involves understanding the specific God and the stories surrounding that God.
- These stories are learned within communities and shape our understanding of divine love.
Interpersonal Neurobiology
- Interpersonal neurobiology views the mind as an embodied and relational process, not solely residing in the brain.
- The mind emerges from interactions with others, creating a shared experience larger than individual minds.
Love as a Tangible Experience
- Love, as a concept, is best understood through its physical manifestation, such as facial expressions.
- True love necessitates vulnerability and a need for others, going beyond mere intellectual knowledge.
