This book provides a new approach to love that is sacred, all encompassing, and healing for individuals and for the world as a whole. And the conclusion is that when love is understood, love conquers all of the individual, social and global problems.So be ready to take a journey through the beauty and perils of the human mind and the power of love. The brain is an amazing organ that has incredible abilities, but it is easily influenced by love or its absence. The mind is more than the brain; minds can be joined and communicate without words. The mind is easily influenced by the absence of certain aspects of love, involving touch, positive words, positive gestures, independence and being allowed to express anger in a healthy way. So important are these factors that they show up in studies of mental and physical diseases. They influence the depth and expression of love without us knowing it. Preferences for certain types of foods, colors, love interests, and a myriad of other types of conditioning surface, and make us and the world what it has become. The questions abound: Are minds connected? Is your past effecting your present? Does the unconscious affect your love life? What do dreams tell us about ourselves? Does color affect the way we see things and respond in various circumstances? Why are some people affected by physical disease and disorders, and others mental problems? Why do some people have different sexual orientations or gender identity, and is it a choice or not? Why do people use drugs and use some foods that act like drugs?

What is the underlying reality that we often miss? How do we improve our lives and reach a loving perspective? Most of the time we don't see things as they are but how we are.
