We frequently hear talk about achieving goals and defining our life's purpose, about success and manifesting our true potential. But what if this is not the highest calling we can respond to? What if we are not on earth to achieve anything? Perhaps we are here to learn. This book dares to ask that question and to suggest that one of the major lessons for us is to understand the role of love in our lives. What is love? How do we find it? How can we keep it? Why are there so many puzzling forms of it? And why do so many people get it so wrong? Building on the startling insights of his earlier book, Stories We Need to Know, Allan Hunter shows that just as there are six universal archetypes of spiritual development, so there are lessons of awareness for each archetype and all are to do with understanding love. If we consider these six levels as experiential they can give us essential guidance about what level of awareness we may be currently living and so we can begin to see what is required to transition to the next stage and how love can be nurtured.
