Why Do We Love? The Role Of Love In Consciousness

So why do we love?

Not just emotionally,

But consciously.

Why is love built into us?

What is its purpose in our inner world?

After over a decade of studying consciousness through dreams and meditation and nervous system healing,

This is one question that I keep coming back to.

Why is love so woven deeply into our awareness?

So why is love part of the design?

Think about it.

Consciousness could have evolved in a million ways.

It could have stayed cold and calculated,

Self-preserving,

But it didn't.

Instead,

It longs,

It aches,

It attaches.

It remembers people in places and moments,

Even when they're gone.

And so what does that tell us exactly?

It tells us that love isn't just an emotion.

It's a function of consciousness.

It's how we know ourselves through each other.

Love pulls us out of isolation and into connection,

Interrupts our survival mode.

It creates opening where the walls of our ego can fall away,

And something bigger can actually move through.

So sometimes love shows us our deepest wounds.

Sometimes it reflects the parts that we forget existed or exist,

And always it reveals something.

And that revelation,

That expansion of awareness,

Is consciousness evolving itself.

So maybe love exists in consciousness because love is the bridge between separation and wholeness,

Between self and other,

Between who we are and who we're becoming.

Love reminds us that we're not just here to survive,

But we're actually here to wake up.

And sometimes love is the light that helps us to see.
