The following is an excerpt from Dynamics for Living by Charles Fillmore (Unity Co-Founder).
What is your understanding of love? Are there different types of love? Does sense consciusness limit love?
"Love, in Divine Mind, is the idea of universal unity. In expression, love is the power that joins and binds in divine harmony the universe and everything in it. Among the faculties of the mind, love is pivotal. Its center of mentation in the body is the cardiac plexus. The physcial representive of loe is the heart, the office of which is to equalize the circulation of the blood in the body. As the heart equalizes the life flow in the body, so love harmonizes the thought of the mind.
We connect our soul forces with whatever we center our love upon. If we love the things of sense or materiality, we are joined or attached to them through a fixes law of being. In the divine order of being, the soul, or thinking part, or man is joined to its spriritual ego. If it allows itself to become joined to the outer or sense consciousness, it makes personal images that are limitations."
