Since I'm no longer Thelemic, I have no qualms about discussing this. All Thelemites should start shunning the rest of this message if you want to be true the Uncle Al's advice (Liber Al instructs that one should shun anyone who discusses such important issues as "Love" and "Law"). "Love" within Thelema is a sort of great transcendent altruism beyond altruism. Since each man is a star and each star is a god, the ultimate good is to discover your Will and then express it. The second ultimate good is to aid/not prevent others from experiencing their Thelema (freedom), whether that is what they think they want to do or not. Doing so is Love. (Will and mere desire are not the same thing, just as "Love" and mere affection or concern.) Thus, according to Uncle Al, you are to push yourself to and beyond any and all internal limits you have on your behavior.
