Love rides on a ray of truth: expanding outward, reaching an understanding that pervades all. To experience based on knowledge, and to know based on experience, is to open the door to the kind of love that is otherwise blocked from deeper vision. If you know the truth about something, no matter what it is, against the iron veil of all the smallness and narrowness that propaganda and zeitgeist-masquerading-as-universal-truth bring, then you begin to understand people past and present. With understanding comes love: love for their struggles, the conundrums of their existence, and how they sought and seek to express
Lovely! Still working my way through McGilchrist, but I very much like the knowledge->experience->love formulation. It's like the difference between loving a piece of music, learning to play the piece of music, and then loving the piece of music when you play it. Assuming I know what you're talking about. 😄
Great unpacking (to one prayer of Love and Knowledge I so often repeat to myself before starting new day). It is fascinating to look back on one's life to see how different it once was, but it was the choice to have those particular experiences that led to my current understanding of love and that gives me feeling that is so deep because it's about something greater then me. Thanks Luc!
