Hello there 🙂
You may remember that we dedicated February to love on this platform. Together, we explored the different loves – Philia, Eros, Storge, Pragma, Philautia, and Agape – and in doing so, we were reminded that love has many faces. But we were also reminded of something deeper: the same love can take on very different forms depending on what governs it.
- Friendship can become loyalty or ego.
- Romance can become covenant or appetite.
- Self-love can become stewardship or self-worship.
- Commitment can become faithfulness or cold duty.
Same love. Different ruler. Different fruit.
What I have not shared with the community is that, for the past two years, I have been working on something that has everything to do with this. Or perhaps more truthfully: I thought I was working on it, but in hindsight, I now know that it has been doing a great deal of work on me. That work has become a book.
And I am quietly, deeply, joyfully grateful to finally share its name with you: Postures of Agape – From Transactional Affection to Transformational Love
This is not simply a book about love as feeling, preference, or expression. It is a book about love as posture – the deeper governing alignment that determines how love flows through us in any given situation.
It is about returning to God as Source. It is about refusing thin versions of love. It is about becoming the kind of person through whom love can move more cleanly, truthfully, and faithfully.
In many ways, this book was born through wrestling, surrender, healing, and return. It hasn’t made me a master of love 🙂 but it has built a better relationship between me and the actual Master, who IS Love.
And because Omosa has always been, in one way or another, a space for return, it felt right that I share this here with you first.
The book is with the printers as I write this. You can pre-order your copy today 🙂
With love, gratitude, and expectancy,
Tsholo L. Sehume
