Metaphysical Meaning of sexual selection and love.

1 post in this topic

I contemplated:

So basically a spiritual hypothesis for sexual selection is that love and beauty are the driving forces behind everything in sexual selection.

Now I tried to convince myself that the point was to experience love, but I'm not really convinced by that.

You could argue that it's all about survival, that Love and beauty aren't fundamental in that process, but just mere forces that make sure survival of the genes continues.

So sexual selection with beauty, could be a bug and not a feature.

It could be that beauty/symmetry is a sign of health, and that for the purpose to survive, one sex deceives the other by pretending to have more health, by having more symmetry, but not really more "health".

The fact that some male birds as a mating ritual perform a dance, and the female bird obviously loves it, could be simply for survivals purpose and not for the beauty itself. Because being able to move a lot and being agile is surely very helpful for the survival of a bird.

So I didn't find a good enough conclusion to prove to myself that love is the deepest drive for nature. 

What was there before the chicken or the egg?
Do we need to love as a means to survive, or do we survive to be able to love?

If we go "before" animals, the material world is in some sense the "evolution" of the planets. and one aspect of the force behind that movement of creation and destruction is "entropy".

It's a mystery to me how love is the most fundamental thing there is in terms of metaphysics. I can however see/imagine everything through the lens of love.

Does anybody know an answer that could satisfy spiral dynamics stage orange, green, yellow and turquoise?

I'm experiencing a lot with love, because I just had an awakening about it, that's  why also contemplate about it with a few lenses. I need to do this for my future love awakenings, so I'm more like writing to myself here, just wanted to let you know and maybe hear your thoughts about it.
