The more love, even naive love, we practice shapes the self we will come to know after any experience.Then don't worry, allow experience to play out, and practice naive love. There is no particular technique suggested or best way to know oneself. I think it's important to realize that because 'all is one', the other can be seen as an aspect of self, but only if the self is known first. And one can only have 'love' for that entity to the extent one has self-acceptance. So truly, that kind of 'love' is not an application of circumstantial emotion that may be thought of as 'loving' in nature - it is the experience of an actualized creator.
