> Planetary infrastructure for the delivery of loving and attuned presence to anyone who needs it... The intention is to coordinate the deployment of that resource so that it flows like water from a tap.
i agree with the sentiment but got hung up on the metaphor. my 2c: a better one is distributing solar panels. that's giving the capacity to orient toward and receive the love that's available wherever someone is (geographically & developmentally), e.g. inner work, relationships with others, nature. you don't ship love as a product through tubes, because it's everywhere; you teach people how to receive and cultivate it.
there's also something about localism here. water infrastructure is necessarily centralized — you need reservoirs and pipes. solar panels are distributed. the capacity sits with the individual, in their particular context. love from nature looks different than love from a friend, which looks different than love from a meditation practice. a one-size-fits-all delivery system can't honor that diversity. but a generalized capacity for receptivity can plug into whatever source is locally abundant.
Thanks Lawrence. I agree with you — and I still like what the water-from-a-tap metaphor evokes: accessibility and abundance. I'm not sure 'so that it flows like solar panels' has the same ring. 😅
You're right that the capacity to receive love lives in the individual, and that the inner work of building it is essential — no one can pipe that in. But I don't think the tap implies love gets centralized so much as that access to a loving other becomes reliable. You don't think about the reservoir when you turn on the faucet; you just trust water comes. That's what the ARC is reaching for through dyadic practice: that one day anyone, anywhere, can reach out and be held in loving presence by another. Not the only way to receive love, but a remarkably accessible and effective one.
Congratulations - on the wedding and on launching ARC for a wider public! I’m very excited I found your work not too long ago and I can’t wait to hear more when you return. Big loving hug all the way from Denmark ❤️

Bravo; hear, hear!
To the ARC Network, a tap of loving and attuned presence, for all who need it.
And may God bless you both! To Daniel and Michal!!
Thanks Max. It was great to meet you today. 🙂

Congratulations, Daniel! Really love what you’ve written here - so well articulated, and strikes at the core of many issues.
Thanks Peter! 🥰
