The Institute offers the following definition of unlimited love: The essence of love is to affectively affirm as well as to gratefully delight in the well-being of others, and to engage in acts of care and service on their behalf. Unlimited Love extends to all people without exception, in an enduring and unconditional manner. Widely considered the highest form of virtue, Unlimited Love is often deemed a Creative Presence underlying and integral to all of reality, the participation in which constitutes the fullest experience of spirituality. Such love represents the greatest leap forward in moral and spiritual consciousness imaginable.

Our Institute mission is: We seek to investigate the lived experience and ultimate reality of Unlimited Love through high-level science (e.g., cosmology, mathematics, neuroscience, psychology, sociology and the health sciences) in dialogue with theo-philosophical thought in order to contribute to spiritual progress.

Our guiding questions are these:

	(1) Does the self-reported spiritual experience of Unlimited Love result in increased benevolence and compassion?
	(2) Do physics and cosmology point toward the same “Ground of Being” that those who report having experienced it often describe in terms of unconditional and universal love?
	(3) How can the major spiritualities and religions of the world elevate and abide by their various conceptualizations of Unlimited Love, and thereby bring out the best in their adherents?
	(4) Does the love of neighbor contribute to the happiness, health and resilience of those who give it, in addition to those who receive it?
	(5) How can parents and communities raise children of Unlimited Love?
