The question ‘What is Love ?’ is one that will arise for most intelligent people at some point in their lives. Understanding love is not something that comes easily for everyone. How to create love, understanding why love fades, getting your head around the sex and love connection – these are questions we all struggle with at certain times.

There are two things we can say for sure:-

• Love arises in the heart
• The heart is a very different organ from the brain

Hence, to our rational and educated minds, love will always be something mysterious. Understanding love will elude our rational analysis. This makes love something very difficult for us to get a handle on and control.

In his book, ‘What Is Love ? – the spiritual purpose of relationships’, Frank Vilaasa helps us to develop an emotionally clear understanding of love. ‘What is Love ?’ appeals to our emotional intelligence as well as our rational intelligence. By using our emotional intelligence, we get many new insights into how the heart really functions.

These insights bring us to an understanding of love and the mysteries of the heart.

Through ‘What is Love ?’ you will learn:-

• How to create loving relationships
• How to overcome difficulties in your relationship
• How you can best help your partner
• How to create a blissful sexuality
• The spiritual purpose of relationships
• A greater awareness and understanding of love in your daily life

There is another reason why understanding love presents such difficulties for many people. Strange as this may sound, there is a part of us that does not what to know about love. Our rational mind wants to control everything. It cannot admit that there are things – such as love – that it does not understand. Our rational mind, which includes our ego, is very useful in practical things, but not in emotional matters. Unfortunately, it also includes our vanity, and the belief that we already know everything.

Our rational mind makes us arrogant and isolated and lonely. It cuts us off from love, and feels threatened when love tries to enter our lives. As you will see in the first chapter of ‘What is Love ?’, there is a reason why we do this. It has to do with the spiritual purpose of relationships.

The Spiritual Purpose of Relationships

It is often a part of our soul’s purpose to isolate ourselves – to turn our backs on love. We do this in order to experience the pain and isolation of being without love. Why? Because this is often the only way we can learn important life lessons.

It is only by experiencing the absence of something that we learn to fully appreciate how important it is to us.

Experiencing the pain and loneliness of being separate from others is what will motivate us to take up the challenge of creating a loving relationship. Once we decide to take up this challenge, we will find that – at first – love does not come so easily. There are blind spots and obstacles in ourselves that we need to overcome.

This is the spiritual purpose of relationships – the willingness to take up the challenge of learning how to love, to face and overcome the obstacles in ourselves, and to reach out to another person with honesty and sincerity and say ‘You are important to me, I value you, you bring great joy and blessings to my life’.

 The book, ‘What is Love? – the spiritual purpose of relationships’ has been written to help you to successfully meet the challenges involved in creating a loving and fulfilling relationship.
