| 1 | Love is a powerful and mysterious essence - the most paradoxical in all the universe. |
| 2 | Love is at once the most extraordinary of emotions and qualities and actions. |
| 3 | Yet when Love is attempted to be captured and objectified, it becomes a hollow and false imitation to its true nature. |
| 4 | For just as a flower cannot blossom without sunshine, a man or woman cannot truly live without Love. |
| 5 | We are born alone and we must go through death alone. Yet only through Love may we prove that the physical is the illusion and it is only Love that is real. |
| 6 | How then can we make sense of something so intense and central to existence, yet so misunderstood as Love? |
| 7 | As it happened, our ancestors and ancient civilizations had far less difficulty navigating through the aspects and levels of Love that in more modern times. |
| 8 | The ancients knew implicitly that where there is Love there is life. |
| 9 | To the ancient Greek philosophers, the answer was in defining four separate words for Love so that there could be no deliberate or accidental confusion. |
| 10 | They called the first form of Love “storge” as natural and instinctual affection such as the love of a parent toward their offspring; and |
| 11 | They called the second form of Love they called “philia” as fraternal and filial affection such as the love between friends or a formal group sharing deep and close experiences; and |
| 12 | The ancient Greeks called the third form of Love “eros” as sexual desire, sexual intimacy or romantic passion; and |
| 13 | The fourth form of Love was called “agape” as unconditional love and Divine Love. |
| 14 | Thus, to the ancient Greeks and other ancient civilizations, it was inconceivable to narrow Love to one word, unless one deliberately sought to confuse and beguile. |
| 15 | As for the meaning of the word Love, the multiple definitions approximate the same divisions of the ancient Greeks, but with one word trying to describe it all: |
| 16 | One definition of Love is as a “state of emotional feeling with regard to a person which arises from a recognition of attractive qualities, from empathy, or from natural ties, and manifests itself in warm affection and attachment”; and |
| 17 | Another definition of Love is “the quality of attraction that brings like entities closer together”; and |
| 18 | Then another definition of Love is “scientifically the mutual act of bonding to form coherent and higher states of form, exhibited by humans in the act of love as well as all other matter in the universe from the smallest to the largest structures”; and |
| 19 | Finally, there is the definition of Love as “The complete and pure emotional affection of the ultimate creator toward all creations”. |
| 20 | Yet despite the word Love possessing the same basic forms of meaning as have existed from ancient times, it appears over more recent centuries that Love has been under constant and deliberate assault. |
| 21 | In the first instance, there has been the deliberate and false attachment of the concept of Love to intentions and actions that are the complete opposite of Love. |
| 22 | For example, no father or mother could be said to Love their offspring in calling upon them to be sacrificed. To even consider this to be even remotely connected to Love is the height of mental illness; and |
| 23 | Any act to incite murder, such as another to kill their first born, or another, cannot rationally, reasonably or logically be considered Love and instead is more akin to sociopathy and an absence of any moral decency; and |
| 24 | The simulation of cannibalism or the act of cannibalism cannot possibly be considered an act of Love, but an abomination of supreme madness and indoctrination, deeply traumatizing one’s ability to think and reason sensibly; and |
| 25 | Similarly, the degradation of Love to being merely an instinctual or selfish act of lust and desire in claiming such base emotions to be the key motivator to human behavior is an insult to all history, civilization and the universe itself. |
| 26 | Why is Love so misrepresented and injured? What possible motive could there be behind those that promote such deep and troubling mental illness? |
| 27 | The answer rests with what occurs when Love as the most powerful and important emotions of existence is hijacked and corrupted. |
| 28 | When children are taught by child molesters that abuse is a form of Love, then such people in positions of trust attempt to “groom” their next batch of victims; and |
| 29 | When institutions teach people that a deity has sacrificed their only son, or encouraged human sacrifice, they are proclaiming that human sacrifice is pleasing to such a deity; and |
| 30 | When pseudo scientific professions and their supporters promote the base sexuality and moral relativity of human existence, they are able to lower the moral standards of society and promote sexual behavior previously considered deviant and corrupting; and |
| 31 | When religions promote simulated or actual acts of cannibalism then such groups lessen the value of human form to merely the flesh and blood of animals and justify that men and women need to be managed as enslaved savage creatures. |
| 32 | Summa Elementis Theologica is based on the rejection of such criminal, malicious and mentally ill behavior toward the corruption of Love. |
| 33 | Instead, Summa Elementis Theologica recognizes Love as the central emotion of Universal Existence in the statement Awareness Loves Life (ALL). |
