Spiritual love, meaning holistic love, is a redundant term. Love is not partial. I once heard it said that you cannot love one child without loving all children. It is easy to confuse the images and memories one accumulates with the real thing. Knowledge is conceptual, is based on memory. What place does memory have in love? If I have fond memories of you I love you, otherwise not? This does not sound like love to me, more like attatchment.
