Summary
What if the most powerful force for healing division, reducing stress, and finding lasting inner peace wasn't elusive or mystical, but a practical, science-backed way of living accessible to everyone?
In Episode 712 of Passion Struck, renowned researcher, bestselling author, and founder of the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love, Dr. Stephen G. Post, joins John R. Miles to explore "Pure Unlimed Love" as the ultimate unifying energy, blending science, spirituality, and compassionate action, with a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Drawing from over 40 years of groundbreaking studies on altruism, giving, and well-being, plus personal stories of interconnectedness and mentorship with Sir John Templeton, Dr. Post reveals the Wheel of Love (10 expressions like compassion, mirth, forgiveness, and carefrontation) and the Seven Paths to Inner Peace: giving generously, healing with kindness, following your calling, raising kind children, knowing the one mind, cherishing nature, and honoring the spirit of freedom.
Together, John and Dr. Post discuss the health benefits of kind giving, why mothers' love hints at non-local consciousness, practical ways to model kindness for the next generation, and how unlimited love can renew our divided world.
