How Come Love?

By Leo Gura - March 10, 2025

How is it possible that a human biological emotion like love could play any role in the ultimate nature of reality? This seems childish, unscientific, and stupid. Indeed — it seems that way.

First, you realize that there is no universe, no matter, no biological beings, there is only Consciousness. Then you realize that love is something Consciousness is doing. What is love doing? Love is Consciousness being captivated by the beauty of some finite aspect of itself. Like Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection in the pond. This recognition and appreciation of beauty creates the feeling or emotion humans call love. Then you realize that if Consciousness appreciated all aspects of itself equally it would literally fall in love with itself so deeply that it would move from feeling or reflection to unity with its beloved. The union of Consciousness with the object of its love results in metaphysical identity. The reflection of the observed in the observer merges to the point where the two become one. Consciousness reflects so deeply that it realizes that the object of its love was always identical to itself — closing the open circle. Consciousness achieves metaphysical Unity through self-reflection and re-collection. Consciousness realizes that identity is the highest form of Love. And since all distinctions and divisions are imagined by Consciousness, everything is ultimately identical with itself. A=A. When Consciousness realizes that it has been imagining all differences, all divisions, it drowns in a singularity of pure Love as it reunites with all of itself. The human emotion of love is now radically and existentially recontextualized as the absolute ontological union of all of Consciousness with itself. The tip of the human emotional iceberg is now understood to connect to the one and only substance of reality. A=A is fully realized. Finally, in Absolute Unity, Consciousness discovers its true nature: Infinite Love.

So now you see, Love is not an emotion, it is an Absolute. Finally, you understand that reality is nothing but Love. Love isn’t just real, it’s the only reality. Love is more real than atoms, than universe, than science, than rationality, than biology, than chemistry, than physics, than human beings. Of course. Exactly as it should be. Now, finally, everything makes perfect sense. The only thing that should ever exist is LOVE, and that’s absolutely how it is.

The trap of love is that what seems childish and stupid, turns out to be so advanced that it can only be understood by infinite intelligence. It turns out that you projected your own materialist, rationalist, human stupidity on the very substrate of existence. You were so blind — you were such a godless rat! — you missed Absolute Love! You were so busy chasing cheese you never bothered to check whether the whole world was made of cheese.

Reality is LOVE. Nothing more advanced can be understood. This understanding is endless. You will never comprehend it. Love is so deep that God itself doesn’t fully understand it. As it turns out, the movement of every molecule in the Universe is just an attempt by God to understand LOVE — to understand Itself. Love is the telos. You were born of love, you will spend your whole life starving for love, and you will die drowning in LOVE. Because LOVE is the only game in town.

LOVE.

Of course. It’s so fucking obvious in hindsight.

It is logically impossible for anything to exist but LOVE. Such is the brilliance of God.
