Love is an important part of the spiritual path. A very important part. However, the misconception is that it is the end-all-be-all. It is just a necessary part - like the wheels on a car.
The second misconception is the one that will really prevent people from ascending. It is an insidious lie that strokes the ego, makes people feel good and, thus, get's rationalized as fact. Even when reason and analysis shows otherwise. It is the 'we are Gods', 'we create our own realities' or 'we're all co-creators' lie.
First. Reality check.
One absolutely MUST separate oneself from his ego if one wants to leave this plane of existence. But the 'I am a God' mentality serves to strengthen the ego - not separate it.
Separation of ego is true humility.
Be careful what you believe because there aren't many parole hearings left to be had.
