Expansion on Energy Exchange theory - Why do people love?

Energy exchange theory, which I outlined in the back of my book (but as a nameless concept), is a set of ideas based in Vedic literature and married to the modern sciences. Energy Exchange theory posits that people create various interpersonal connections by exchanging energies to varying degrees. These energy exchanges create the environment in which our personalities, goals, and fears play out. Understanding the dynamics of energy exchange allows one to gain control of social connections, working in our own environment to meet our own needs without hampering the needs of others.

People who are "in love" with one another have the largest, most intense connections for energy exchanges. The MRI scans of brains from people who are in love (and thinking about their lover) show more intense frontal lobe and mid-brain activity than people who are not currently in a hot connection.

Humans crave energy. We like high-calorie foods, we prefer sunlight over darkness, we're more comfortable on the ground than in trees or in the air. We have recreational sex. We are social creatures, gathering energy from our fellow humans. On the far end of the negative scale, people take advantage of weaker people for the greater energy gain. If I control you, I get your food, money, attention, etc. On the far positive end are people who are altruistic and philanthropic, giving away their time, money, and other forms of energy.

Because we crave energy and we are constantly putting it out, we gather in groups. We sometimes land in groups we like, which boosts our energy input, but most often we land in groups that have some sort of energy tug-of-war going on. There's not enough positive energy to go around.

Positive energy vs. Negative energy: It's not a judgment call--it's a mathematical factor. Positive energy is energy that is additional, as in positive numbers are added. Negative energy is energy that subtracts. People who are sick or injured are negative energy centers, but that's not a bad thing--it just means they need more than most.

Humans fall in love because it is a source of creative, positive energy. Love brings with it a whole host of hormonal and brain changes, but it also brings with it the ability for humans to become energy dynamos. Once we start spinning, we keep going, building and building energy until we explode...this could be a physical orgasm, or it could be a new project idea, a plan to do something positive. Something that would be like...giving birth.
