Excerpt
Tina's Foreword
Love is a confusing word. We use it to mean obligation: "If you love me you'll...." We use it for dependency: "I love you, I can't live without you." We use it for ownership: "We're in love, we belong to each other." We use it for charity: "I do this for you because I love you."
I want to see love freed. I think the world exists on love, and that it is love which binds us together.
Science has not yet understood the mysterious force which holds the tiny particles of the atom together, and thus holds everything in our physical world together.
Pretend with me that the binding force is love, and see where that thought goes. If that were true B then we'd each be an expression of love and surrounded by love. The phrase "God is love" would take on new dimensions.
We would be free and able to let our partners be free, because we would not have to do anything to be bonded. And we would not have to prove to ourselves that we love B it would be obvious to all around us. We could let our partners be different without being scared; just as protons and neutrons are different and express themselves differently, yet remain bonded.
So this book is about freeing love. I think love grows out of freedom, that free beings are open to loving and being loved. It is not possible to push or force people into loving. The only thing that works is leaving enough room for love to grow.
Riley and I have found some ways to be free and we share them with you, because the more free people there are, the more love will be freed in the world.
