About this listen
Being Love vs. Seeking Love
We all want love.
We long for the fullness, wholeness, and peace we sense it will bring.
But so often, the love we seek feels elusive, and even when we find it, it rarely satisfies us the way we hoped.
Erich Fromm, in his classic book The Art of Loving, suggested that our frustration in love comes from a misunderstanding.
We chase love without learning the skill of being love.
In this episode, I’ll explore two very different approaches:
Seeking love: the habitual, ego-driven pursuit of approval, worth, and validation
Being love: a deeper practice of embodying love as your nature
You’ll learn how the mind’s evolutionary wiring sets us up for seeking, and how you can shift from striving to standing in love, from searching to becoming it.
