Higher Order Love | Andrew Kahn

The Problem

A lack of constructive dialogue and cooperation — in politics and beyond — worsened by media that prioritize ratings over societal well-being.

The Solution

Cultivate “Higher Order Love” and support media that humanize people, foster mutual listening, and build unity, peace, harmony, and well-being.

In today’s world of conflict and division, Higher Order Love offers a timeless path. It draws from biblical values, Gandhi’s principles, therapeutic wisdom, and what Aldous Huxley called The Perennial Philosophy.

Mission

Soon, the spirit of peace, light, kindness, and unity will spread. Humanity will once again honor the inherent dignity of every soul.

The Path of Higher Order Love

1

Listen — Open your heart. Let Higher Order Love guide you toward connection and understanding.

2

Seek Higher Order Love — Discover a love that nourishes self and others, forging bonds that endure.

3

Develop Self-Restraint — Choose love over impulse, selfishness, or fleeting gratification.

4

Serve Others — In giving, we discover our deepest connection to life itself.

5

Practice Gratitude — Gratitude is the soil where Higher Order Love takes root and flourishes.

6

Walk the Path of Devotional Love — Bring joy and Spirit into every action, nurturing the divine spark within all.

Also called True Love or Heart-Centered Work: The giver is moved to give more. The recipient, with an open heart, evolves into a giver. Gratitude and devotion deepen both roles. The right company makes all the difference.
