Energizing Love

This book is about UILE, or Universal Intentional Love Energy where, fortuitously, the acronym is the old Irish for all or whole. The book provides a roadmap for accessing this energy in life and removing the obstacles to it. We can only change ourselves and must discover our own path or philosophy. Phil uses the neologism philosofree to denote the direction of travel. Dreams can be an important gateway into a wider imaginative awareness, and he provides guidance along the way in terms of altering our patterns of thought and feeling and reaching a deeper level of enjoyment. However, pain, sorrow and grief can also turn out to be the seeds of later joy. He recommends a balanced life where we choose love as our centre gravity and remain alert to the present moment. This also means being authentic and acting in love. He is right about the education system lacking an underlying model of human being and assuming, wrongly, that knowledge is what we need to succeed. He adds: 'it does not know how to teach virtues, spirit and friendship, and ways to interpret what is ethical life instead of pushing the materialism barrow.' Ultimately, we do have our own universal spiritual GPS, and this book is a timely reminder of this fact.
