I have argued previously that there are different types of love. I have

argued that Higher Love is different than base love. Here, I am using a

phenomenological analysis of love and arguing that there are different levels

of love corresponding to the different levels of consciousness discussed by

Piaget, Kohlberg, Fowler, Choprah, Wilber, and myself. I argue that love at

the base is based primarily upon selfishness and not upon giving, while

Higher Love is based primarily upon giving, with little selfishness. My

Chart illustrating the levels of love consciousness is as follows:

1
Level Type of love selfishness % giving %

7 Higher 1% 99%

6 Universal 5% 95%

5 Creative 10% 90%

4 Objective 20% 80%

3 Conventional/Male 49% 51%

2 Motherly 40% 60%

1 Child 60% 40%

This phenomenological analysis is based upon a Wisdom paradigm.

I argue that all love contains some selfishness, however, small a percentage.

I also argue that small children have giving as a fairly large percentage of

their consciousness.
