Forgive this seemingly off-topic anecdote. Decades ago, I stopped of at Carla's apartment on my way to work to say hello. I was pleased to see that Don was there too. As a pilot, he would be gone for days at a time, so I never knew whether he would be there. Carla was happy to say that they "just formed our new company!" I congratulated them and asked what it's called. She said, "The L L Company."
Don said, "Nobody will ever guess what those letters stand for." I thought for a few seconds and said, "Your middle initials?" I knew Carla's middle name was Lisbeth. Then Don said again, "Nobody will ever guess what those letters stand for." I thought some more and said "Love and light!" Carla started laughing as Don, with a grin said, "Nobody will ever guess what those stand for."
The reason they named their company that way was that Love and Light are the two fundamental ingredients of the Universe. Light is energy and, we know from Physics, can be in the form of matter. The other necessary part is Love, which gives matter its consciousness.
Because Love is so fundamental and pervasive, when I compiled my version of the seven levels of consciousness I named the 4th level Compassion and not Love. Ra used both terms, but I think that compassion is more correct for the green level. Love is all around and in everything, so naming the middle level with that word invites confusion.
This thread has both "love" and "energy" (aka Light) used in ways that bother me, because I prefer using just the right word for something. I'm not asking anybody to follow my word rules, but at the same time this discussion might go better if contributors not mix in terms like "yellow love" and "green energy."
Regardless whether anybody agrees with me, I didn't mean to hijack the thread into a semantics discussion. Please continue to exhaust the original topic in the grand Bring 4th tradition.
