Love as depicted in the mass media is not what this level is about.
What the world generally refers to as love is an intense emotional condition,
combining physical attraction, possessiveness, control, addiction, eroticism and novelty.
It’s usually fragile and fluctuating, waxing and waning with varying conditions.

The 500 level is characterized by the development of a Love that is unconditional, unchanging and permanent.
It doesn’t fluctuate – its source isn’t dependent on external factors. Love is a state of being.
It’s a forgiving, nurturing and supportive way of relating to the world.
Love isn’t intellectual and doesn’t proceed from the mind. Love emanates from the heart.
It has the capacity to lift others and accomplish great feats because of its purity of motive.

At this level of development, the capacity to discern essence becomes predominant;
the core of an issue becomes the center of the focus.
As reason is bypassed, there arises the capacity for instantaneous recognition
of the totality of a problem and a major expansion of context especially regarding time and process.
Reason deals only with particulars, whereas Love deals with entireties.

This ability often ascribed to intuition, is the capacity for instantaneous understanding
without resorting to sequential symbol processing.
This apparently abstract phenomenon is, in fact, quite concrete;
it’s accompanied by a measurable release of endorphins in the brain.

Love takes no position and thus is global rising above separation.
It is then possible to be “one with another” for there are no longer any barriers.
Love is therefore inclusive and expands the sense of self progressively.
Love focuses on the goodness of life in all its expressions and augments that which is positive-
it dissolves negativity by recontextualizing it, rather than by attacking it.
