Love Is No Less Than a Drug

Summary

The article discusses the concept of love as a powerful force akin to a drug, emphasizing that while everyone desires it, not everyone has the capacity to give it freely due to individual "potency" and the ability to receive love.

Abstract

The article "Love Is No Less Than a Drug" compares the power of love to that of a potent drug, suggesting that the universe is constructed on the foundation of love. It posits that every person longs for love, yet few possess the inherent strength or "potency" to express it fully. This potency is linked to one's life force or libido, which drives individuals to pursue their dreams and influence the world positively. The article further explains that a lack of potency does not equate to immorality but rather to a soul's vitality and its capacity to love and affect change. It introduces the idea of spiritual healing as a means to restore a soul's ability to give and receive love, likening the process to psychic surgery that removes emotional blockages. The article concludes by asserting that love is an internal ocean, with our responses to external stimuli shaping our effectiveness in loving. It cites the famous poet Rumi to emphasize the vast potential each person holds within.

Opinions

Love is compared to a drug in its unique efficacy to produce a desired effect on the host, suggesting that humans have a comparable "love quotient."
The capacity to love is deeply connected to one's desire to live and pursue passions, indicating that a vibrant soul will have a greater impact on others.
A person's inability to love freely is not a moral failing but may be a sign of a soul in need of healing.
Spiritual healers are seen as neutral entities that can treat ailments of the psyche by addressing the root cause, thus restoring the soul's natural state of loving.
The article suggests that love operates at a subconscious level, with external stimuli merely acting as catalysts for the mind's response.
The author believes that our individual responses to people or situations determine our effectiveness in love, echoing Rumi's sentiment that each person contains the vastness of the ocean within them.

The intoxicant we all desire, but very few possess that fire

The whole Universe is made of love. Each one of us craves it, but very few have the potency to give. Just as a drug (medicine) has a unique efficacy — the capacity to produce a desired effect on the host, as humans, we also a have a unique love quotient.

Potency is the potential of an individual to love

The capacity to love is intimately linked with libido, the desire to live. If a soul is nourished, it will thrive to achieve its goals, dreams and passions, hence, it will have an impact on the people and the world. This does not necessarily mean that a person who lacks potency is immoral or corrupt. But chances are, the more non-vital a soul is, the less it will be able to give freely, unless it is healed.

A spiritual healer treats all souls neutrally. For them, a disease originates in the psyche and with the assistance of the recipient, he treats the ailment by removing the root cause. The healer performs a psychic surgery and extracts the clot, which was blocking the ability to receive love (Grace) from the source. Thus, the soul slowly repairs and returns to its natural state.

Any stimulant does not act alone to produce an effect on the body, it simply stimulates and the brain responds to that signal. The process occurs at a subconscious level. For example, when you take a medicine, the mind responds to the information it receives, like a letter to make a certain decision, in a few minutes, the anti-inflammatory effect is created.

The infinite ocean of love is within us, but our response to person or a situation, determines our efficacy.

The more one is receptive to love, the more their potency increases.
