Books that prove that love is the way?
>>
Crime and Punishment, obviously.

War and Peace
>Love? What is love?' he thought. 'Love hinders death. Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone...'

the Old Testament. Why would God give the ten commandments and make a covenant with the people of Israel unless he loved them more than the canaanites and Pharoeh?

Worst answer in centuries.
Abysmal lie.

That myth is at the center of the evil and hatred infesting the world today.

Every God that no longer has a worshipper from thousands of years ago was a false god. The proof is they have vanished.

Disgusting platitudes.

It's a hokey story. Egyptians built their pyramids. Kept no Israelite slaves.
Every god invented by man vanishes in a puff of logic or till that man dies. Just because there's a schizo that believes in one mans god doesn't mean he worships the same god. It's in his own head.

So when Moses leads people out into the desert, supposedly some Egyptians followed them, and while Moses was up in the hills carving or painting ten commandments into some rocks, these same Egyptians got everyone to melt their gold down into a calf to worship. What simpleton nonsense. But these supposed Egyptians are cited by Israelites and later Jews and later Christians as the demon seeds of the tribe. Find someone doing bad, claim they're from those mixed multitude. This myth feeds their racial superiority complex. Even though "god's chosen people" are rejects, they can still spit and argue with one of their own as being a "mixed" bastard. It was always a lie of course.
That's just the start of the evil this myth has caused.

is not making a people still exist for thousands of years, proving that love (for them) is the way? Odin, Ra, itzamna, have all vanished from earth. They did not love their people.

Ridiculous metric to measure love.
No, these things have not vanished. The contemporaries of Atlantis have. But that's not from lack of love. Stop being stupid.

>Ridiculous metric to measure love.
How do you measure diety love atlantis anon? If in 3,000 years Americans or some diasporic form of them is celebrating the 4th of July and venerating ground zero as holy earth, would god not favor them if every other group has moved on?

TBK?

I'm working on it

But consider that the love of an artist is his ability to reflect eternity. While the art of the lover is seeing eternity in one woman. Or the love of the warrior in self-realization through competition with a brother. But the first and the last never reach the depths of the Erotes, he of the median of all things, only he can become a true philosopher. Love is war, as they say, and making love the highest art.

For me, it’s ‘A Raw Youth’
>"I picture to myself, my boy," he said with a dreamy smile, "that war is at an end and strife has ceased. After curses, pelting with mud, and hisses, has come a lull, and men are left alone, according to their desire: the great idea of old has left them; the great source of strength that till then had nourished and fostered them was vanishing like the majestic sun setting in Claude Lorraine's picture, but it was somehow the last day of humanity, and men suddenly understood that they were left quite alone, and at once felt terribly forlorn. I have never, my dear boy, been able to picture men ungrateful and grown stupid. Men left forlorn would begin to draw together more closely and more lovingly; they would clutch one another's hands, realizing that they were all that was left for one another! The great idea of immortality would have vanished, and they would have to fill its place; and all the wealth of love lavished of old upon Him, who was immortal, would be turned upon the whole of nature, on the world, on men, on every blade of grass. They would inevitably grow to love the earth and life as they gradually became aware of their own transitory and finite nature, and with a special love, not as of old, they would begin to observe and would discover in nature phenomena and secrets which they had not suspected before, for they would look on nature with new eyes, as a lover looking on his beloved. On awakening they would hasten to kiss one another, eager to love, knowing that the days are short, and that is all that is left them. They would work for one another, and each would give up all that he had to all, and by that only would be happy. Every child would know and feel that every one on earth was for him like a father or mother. 'To-morrow may be my last day,' each one would think, looking at the setting sun; 'but no matter, I shall die, but all they will remain and after them their children,' and that thought that they will remain, always as loving and as anxious over each other, would replace the thought of meeting beyond the tomb. Oh, they would be in haste to love, to stifle the great sorrow in their hearts. They would be proud and brave for themselves, but would grow timid for one another; every one would tremble for the life and happiness of each; they would grow tender to one another, and would not be ashamed of it as now, and would be caressing as children. Meeting, they would look at one another with deep and thoughtful eyes, and in their eyes would be love and sorrow...

Love was always the way.

Like Castor and Pollux, Cupid and Hymen, Zeus and Ganymede, Achilles and Patroclus, Alexander and Hephaestion, Apollo and Hyacinth, Amon and Ra, Mitra and Varuna, Alcibiades and (its a secret), and so on...

The male Lucifer that you refer to is among these pairings.

Do you know what has him in actual dire straits? A female keeps getting in the way of them...
>>
>>25127954
What do you mean by 'love' anyway? Eros? Agape? Filia?
>>
>>25129692
>Alcibiades and (its a secret)
Socrates? Because Socrates' love is pretty alien.

the way of spooking you? The Unique and its Property
>For intercourse with human beings, among all who live religiously, a specific law is placed above all, one whose observance people probably forget at times, but whose value they never dare to deny; this is the law of —love, to which even those who seem to fight against its principle and hate its name have not yet been unfaithful; for they also still have love, indeed, they love more deeply and sublimely, they love “the human being and humanity.”
>If we formulate the meaning of this law, it will be something like this: Every man must have a something that is more to him than himself. You’re supposed to put your “private interest aside,” if it is for the welfare of others, the good of the fatherland, the good of society, the common good, the good of humanity, the good cause, and the like! Fatherland, society, humanity, etc., must be more to you than yourself, and facing them, your “private interests” must step back; because you’re not allowed—to be an egoist.
>>
>>25129704
Its not! It doesn't follow the archetype you see with Achilles and Alexander. His name is always around whenever Alcibiades is mentioned, though.

Aristotle once said that we know everything about Achilles, but about that man we would not know much about him.

I suppose he was prepared to become Amon.
>>
>>25129702
Going by cursory search, Agape it would seem to be. I trust that Mettā of the Buddha is it >>25129214
>>
>>25127954
Fallen angel, so you would think he would know about original sin, something he shares with Adam and Eve.

>>25129342
If nothing is woo woo then everything is woo woo.
If there are no objective standards of better and worse then everything is good and everything is evil, that is—nothing. And you fail to have a standard to judge anything as anything.
