Louis Savary's third video session on Harnessing the Energies of Love - The Next Big Step for Humanity focused on Teilhard de Chardin's principle that love is energy and that union differentiates — meaning that when people form true relationships or teams, both the group and its individual members develop new capacities that would never emerge in isolation.
