Haven't heard of that one. Brothers Grimm?
Love is a central concept in Carl Jung's psychology and his concept of holiness. In Jung's view, it is not just an emotion or feeling, but a fundamental force in the universe that drives us towards wholeness and integration. It is through love that we connect with ourselves, others, and the divine.
It is essential for individuation, Jung's process of becoming a fully realized human being. This process involves integrating all aspects of the personality, including the conscious and unconscious, the masculine and feminine, and the ego and the Self. Love is the glue that holds these different parts together and allows us to become whole.
It also plays a role in our relationship with the divine. Jung believed that the divine is not a distant and abstract God, but a living presence within us and all of creation. Love is the way we connect with this divine presence, both within ourselves and in the world around us.
There are two main types of love in Jung's psychology: Eros and agape. Eros is a form of love that is based on desire and attraction. It is often associated with romantic love, but it can also be found in other forms of relationships, such as friendships and family relationships. Agape is a form of love that is based on selflessness and compassion. It is often associated with religious love, but it can also be found in other forms of relationships, such as charitable acts and acts of kindness.
Both Eros and agape are important for our spiritual development. Eros helps us to connect with others on a deep level and experience the fullness of life. Agape helps us to transcend our ego and connect with the divine love that is present in all things.
In Jung's view, holiness is not about perfection or piety. It is about living a life that is true to oneself and connected to the divine.
Love is the path that leads us towards holiness.
I'm optimistic. The lower selves still know what's good for them even if they don't understand why. 🍻

It looks like our lower territorial, dogmatic selves pushing our higher oceanic selves to reconnect with each other under the mindful watch and protection of one of the old gods.
Good luck with your experiment, hope you get what you want out of it. 👍🧡✌️

Sure, I'm always open to talk about this kind of thing.
Back when you could earn interest on bank deposits in real terms. 🥹
Took me a bit to understand exactly what you meant. 💯
For sure, it's the best any of us can do. 🧡
I don't have an easy answer for that. It's part of what I'm working on right now tbh with you. All of these posts on my profile are for me.
But isn't that the point though? That fear is the other side of the coin, in that it can trap us in a state where we can no longer act. That can appear as indifference to the people we care about l, and be interpreted as a cold shoulder.
In that sense I think we should try our best within reason to approach everything with love. There are going to be exceptions of course, but I just mean as a general rule.
As in, it's a forward-back polarity for how you as an individual approach something/someone. Forward is based in a sense that what is ahead of you should be embraced, it's a positive future, a world of possibilities. Backward is based on a sense that the what's ahead is too sinister to be approached, and is ultimately out to get you.
It not being hate makes sense. For me, indifference is the neutral state between fear and love.
