Raphael

The Science Of Love Raphael On Demand edition

In -The Science of Love- RAPHAEL takes into consideration the human being in its totality as constituted therefore by body, Soul and Spirit, and examines Love as that powerful unifying impulse, which transmits the grace of joy, flooding and involving all it comes into contact with. As DANTE himself stated, love ... moves the sun and the other stars. In present-day culture the word love is taken primarily to indicate sex, and, even when speaking of feelings, they are always qualified in terms of sexual elements. Love is seen as fundamentally functional to the male-female polar sphere rather than to the man-woman aspect, or to that of the person having a body, a psyche and also a soul. If the five senses appreciate the beauty of the sensible world, in the journey leading towards the Intellect of Love, gradually they must give way to other senses capable of perceiving and appreciating the Love of the intelligible world, compared to which the sensible one is but a pale reflection. It is under this light that Raphael can say that: ...the miracle of Love allows growth, redemption and the expansion of consciousness to Universal dimensions. Of special interest is the presentation of the polarities existing not only between idividuals but those operating within the individual itself. Specific and revealing reference is made to the energy centers or cakra contemplated by the Yoga.
