Love is the starting point, central feature, and weakest force of all interactions and an evolving consciousness. In the end, love is the total value of how all those interactions complement each other to represent a functional whole. Love is both practical and technical-a companion to Consciousness. It is easy to say the world would be better with more love and an evolved consciousness. Love does the hard job of showing how. First, love is broken down to show its role in the world. Then practical methods are provided to evolve self-love upon which relationships and everything else depends. Love explores how relationships form in a step-by-step process, their complications, and how with an evolved consciousness you can evolve from entangling relationships to meaningful bonds. From love springs institutions, beliefs, the pursuit of knowledge, and even civilization. Only with right love can institutions and civilization function right. Love shows how these abstractions depend on individuals and their relationships, and reciprocates by enhancing interactive opportunities. This requires a factual understanding of reality upon which civilization can collectively evolve its consciousness and the resulting value of love.
