>What better metaphor can be used to describe that, than love?
I'd suggest there are better metaphors to that act of self-becoming than love, as we know the universe is riven with, and we may say more strongly that it is driven by, strife, and that eris is as much a fact of existence as eros. Have you read Schelling's freedom essay? He came to the same conclusion that the universe must have been created as a contigent act of willing from nothingness, a hunger from the void. But he gives a better account of the potencies than does naive Platonism that would have eros as the only power at work in the world. Pic is good secondary lit on his potencies theory:.
