Love to an atheist is extremely self-centered due to the fact that they worship thier own intellect; which is the essence of man's ego. All atheists are able to love is themselves, much like satanists, who worship thier own will and desires

Mr saint, love is love. In your high holiness, your question appears to question whether nonbelievers can experience love.
You don't have to have religion to love something, I have seen dogs that loved their masters, and died broken hearted when their master died. I have seen mothers in remote tribes who love their babies, but don't know about your particular god. I as an atheist experience love for my family and close friends, and for chocolate to an extent. Religions do not have a monopoly on llove or can stake a claim on love as the emotion. Oh, and us atheists also know right from wrong, and pay our taxes and open doors for old ladies, all without having belief in your religion.

As unconditional and not confined by the conditions and judgements of a deity. Love is something that extends beyond the self-centered romantic, possessive love that is characteristic of most of our relationships (and this self-centered love also gets projected onto the deity with the deity supporting the exclusiveness and restricted nature of love).

What kinda stupid question is this? "Love" is defined the same for an atheist as it is for a theist.

Love is when your heart and soul fill with so much happiness and completeness that it can only be love.
There is a quote in the Bible that explains it beautifully. I don't think it's really that different to a Christian. My husband doesn't seem to think it's that different.

A definition is about as much use in the understanding of love as a recipe is to the taste-buds.

Self Empowerment - Self Realization - Soul Awakening are processes realized by us through clearing all past negative energies and blockages that contaminated our inner light. As we clear all past issues, forgive ourselves and others, release all negative energy patterns in our system, we open ourselves to receive our full power. Activating and opening the higher heart center (sacred heart) speeds up the process, raises our vibration levels (dimensional frequency) and opens us up to the higher love consciousness. Meditation processes without full inner cleansing does not open you up to the higher layers.
The programs offered here are hands-on, experiential processes that help you release your old negative patterns (old degenerative energy), clear blockages and past issues at the cellular level and replenish it with new vibrant higher vibrational energy which brings you clarity, focus, heart opening with more love, joy, passion, prosperity and enthusiasm to live your life to its full potential.
The Accelerated Creative Life Force energy activation process empowers and activates your ability to manifest your desires faster. The higher Spiritual Awakening programs with chakra meditations infuse and expand your inner light, stimulate and activate higher DNA codes, develop your light bodies, open you up to the 5th Dimension and deepen your connection with your Oversoul-Monad (I AM Presence) and The Source (complete At-One-Ment with Source).

I love my wife, I love my nieces and nephews. I just don't feel that I need to believe in mythology of an ancient nomadic people.
