Love and Circles of Awareness

I found myself thinking about Joseph Campbell's three types of love recently.  When I looked them up to remind myself what they are, they were different from how I remembered them!

(his are agape — universal compassion, eros — sexual passion, and amor — romantic love)

The way I remember it is more like this:

eros/amor:  The person-to-person romantic/passionate love that the movies focus on
tribal love:  The love you have for friends and family; people you actually know and care about.
agape:  The universal love for all.

I think my thoughts on the three types of love is a conflation of my memory of my father explaining to me expanding circles of awareness (below, read from in to out)

and my memory of the Bill Moyers interviews of Joseph Campbell from back in the day.  Honestly, I like my misremembered version better.
