Love and Emptiness
Why does life thrive in love — and what does that reveal about the deepest truth of existence? A. H. Almaas explores this profound question in this short Conscious TV teaching.
Highlights
In this brief excerpt from Conscious TV, A. H. Almaas reflects on the mysterious power of love, not just as an emotional state, but as a force that animates and nourishes all of life. He begins by observing how living things, from humans to houseplants, seem to blossom when met with love and care. Why is it, he asks, that love feels like the “right kind of fuel” — the very energy that allows life to flourish and evolve?
To answer this, Almaas turns inward, inviting us to look not just at biology or emotion, but into the depth of consciousness itself. At its most fundamental level, he says, reality is not just made of matter or events; it is made of presence, of luminosity, of truth. And at the core of this truth is love. Not a sentimental love, but the very nature of existence itself, a loving presence that moves creation forward, makes things grow and reveals the hidden potential within all beings. Love, in this view, is the heartbeat of Being.
