What about love? In this talk Michael suggests that Big Love has nothing to do with our understanding and craving of the rush that small love brings. In fact, he uses the words of Rumi to point out how what is really necessary for Big Love to inform all of our circumstances. The unfolding of Big Love and the ultimate surrender to it allows us to live from the roots of Being. Furthermore, the Four Horsemen of Relationship, as articulated by John Gottman, begin to lose traction upon the path of fear since Big Love is fearless. Questions and comments deal with the experience of Emptiness; the recognition of No Self as love; running away from Big Love; forgiveness and the power of sangha.
