Thanks again for these lessons! The Leviathan in the painting is personally relevant to me, and noteworthy to me that you selected it for these lessons on emotions.
Because this lesson relates to the OSA, I hope I can ask a question that would pertain to both the OSA and the UGC. The OSA lesson in forgiveness and unconditional love is useful, but is it mainly specific to the Christian worldview? I'm wondering how universal the OSA lessons are.
Obviously love is important to Christianity, and love as almost a virtue seems important to Buddhism, Taoism, and I know it's important in the Bhagavad Gita. But in polytheistic religions love might be the territory of a single deity and important but not central to that religion's worldview. And I know that each of these might be referring to different types of love other than what the OSA lesson refers to.
