Document Summary

Basic point of daethema is that love is learning to seek what we really desire (coming to self-king) Like the cave, has some truth to it, but has a lot of falsity and misunderstanding built in it. Daethema says we speak of a love of some other thing, but we always want to have desire because you yourself don"t have it. Love is a lack, because it is a desire for something. And it is a seeking of what it lacks. Love is a messenger, like a god/perfection/ultimate reality divine perfection that bestows gifts on humans. Love is something that brings us a sense of something else beyond this, helps inspire us to attain to that. It helps humans make a connection between us and love. Love is leading us through learning about what is true. Love is in between wisdom and ignorance.
