I had seen a post on facebook on an aspect of life that I have contemplated perhaps more than any other ~ the nature of true love.
I had written a poem on this theme some years ago...
I would meet certain couples that exuded an essence of true love and I had met others with whom I felt as though there was something missing.
This short little essay clarified the essence of what true love is and what it is not. One can avoid so much heartbreak by simply taking the time to find true love.
Thank you Ann Marie Keating for bringing this little essay to my attention....
The wounded feminine in all humans is obsessed with romantic love.
Romantic love is actually a relatively new concept in the grand scheme of human history.
When we had stronger connections to spirit, to source, to a higher power — we didn’t have such a thing as romantic love/romance.
Mature love, yes.
Romantic love, no.
As we have become so disconnected to the feminine principles which hold our connection to spirit, the divine, a higher power, the mystical.
We have collectively stagnated at a young immature feminine level consciousness as a whole (this is changing though as we revive her).
Especially us westerners.
We are so brainwashed with Disney, all the romantic movies and novels.
That love is to be found in that one special person on the planet.
When the great poets speak of love.
They are never referring to another human.
Rather, this universal love that emanates in EVERY human and all of existence.
Romantic love has us so fooled to think that once we “fall in love” with another person, that’s when life is complete.
Mature love knows that this love isn’t sourced from anything or anyone outside of us and is a deeply personal relationship with self and divine/God (whatever term you use).
This is why most Eastern cultures who have a far stronger connection to spirit, do not project the divine so heavily onto another.
They chose partners more based on compatibility, shared values, aligned dharmas.
Versus westerners who are so disconnected from spirit, mostly deluded by the whole romanticism.
Projecting God onto our partners, because we lack this depth of connection within first.
Why do you think divorce rates are significantly less in eastern cultures?
When we establish our relationship to a higher power, first, and taste this sweetest love — then and only then can we truly love another.
Because we can actually SEE them, beyond our projection of divinity upon them.
Most of us are in love with a projection of divinity (that lacks within us) onto our partners and so when their human self starts to shine through them—we are shocked, as the expectations and projection crumbles and that’s when most relationships end.
