"[Alfred North Whitehead] had in mind a cosmic appetite for becoming, for beauty intensity of experience. The divine Eros is felt in each creature as the “initial aim”– or the ‘lure.“ It is a lure to our own becoming, a call to actualize the possibilities for greater beauty and intensity in our own lives. The responsive love, by contrast, can be called the divine Agape. The Eros attracts, it calls: is is the invitation. The Agape responds to whatever we have become; in com/passion it feels our feelings: it is the reception. They are different gestures of divine relationality– yet their motions are in spirit inseparable, in constant oscillation."

I love Process Theology. God that is math and physics and inter-being and Love? Yes please.
