Nothing matters more than your time and attention. They are your life. Much of the internet is built to steal them from you, From Love is built to return them to you, to help point you back to what matters most… inner peace and outer contribution.

When we waste time on scrolls, and feeds, and surfing, and swiping, that doesn’t nourish us we are not only left with with the icky residue of that use of attention, but also the massive opportunity costs (ie we weren’t doing the other things we could have been doing).

Thematically this site is built to elucidate both the dark and the light, the risks and downsides of carelessly using tech, time, and attention and the incredible possibilities that open when we assert agency over these domains. My own battle to establish this agency has been grinding and hard fought, it is also ongoing and evolving. I hope you will find that From Love can bolster and support you in your own navigation of these challenges.

The War on Attention section elucidates some of the forces that are arrayed against us in the current media landscape / attention economy. Understanding this as well as the neurological and psychological vulnerabilities that are exploited to highjack our time and attention can equip us to begin to wrest back a basic sovereignty over our lives.

The rest of the site is built around what you might do with your newfound time and attention, namely cultivate compassion, gratitude and mindfulness. Training in these virtues and nursing our inspiration to act to improve our lives and the lives of others becomes newly possible when we’ve pulled our attention and time away from a variety of tempting, but ultimately self-sabotaging media options. Much of my own studies and training over the last decade has been in various contemplative traditions, particularly Buddhism and this bent is reflected in what you will find in From Love.

Through the curation of videos, guided meditations, dharma talks, podcasts, courses, and articles from across the internet as well as the creation of original content there are a range of resources arrayed here to help us lead lives we enjoy and are proud of. I cordially invite you to utilize these resources and also to become a part of a growing community. To offer your own resources, inspiration, and encouragement, to invite your friends, to ask questions, to help weave a vision of what this could be. Together we can create a refuge, an oasis, a sanctuary, where we can return again and again to sanity, to clarity, to peace, to purpose.

Much love,
- Miles
