In a newsletter today I wrote about the relationship between attention and Love. You can sign up here if you like. I want to think out loud here a bit more about this. Healing and awakening are both implicated in it. In his notebooks, Paul Brunton said that misunderstandings about our identity – i.e., ourContinue reading “Between Attention and Love, This Love”
