For all its power, love cannot flow through an individual
riddled with and crippled by chronic suppression.
Every act of emotional suppression contracts our inflowing emotional energy
and thus diminishes our experience of energy-expanding love.

The more we condition our children to emotional suppression,
the less love-able they become.
The more we, as adults, sustain our personal patterns of suppression,
 the less we can feel love, the less we can teach love to our children,
and the less likely they will be to teach love to their children.

And so it happens that most people come to experience love as rare and difficult,
rather than omnipresent and easy.
