I read an article yesterday on the subject of love that leaned towards the focus of choice in romantic love. As if we have a choice on who, what, when, and where we fall in love!
To a singular specific point, I will agree with the idea of choice when falling in love, only in that you can choose to live it out or not. On the other hand, I can also agree that we have no choice in attraction and the actual “falling” in love part.
You can deny love even when you feel it strongly. You can look at all the possibilities while trying to rule love out. For example:
1. I was hungry and the butterfly in my stomach was because of that.
2. I was not in a relationship for years and he just seemed right.
3. I was drunk or under un-natural controls of reality
4. I was unhappy and he made me smile.
5. He was stably handsome and I was attracted to his charms.
The variables are endless and the excuses go beyond even the best of catalyst used in chemistry today.
So then, where do we begin to discern the real romantic love from the contrived, confused, and controlled kind of love that seems to be the normalcy of today’s adventures in love?
Here’s the skinny. You have a choice! The choice settles in the decision to
1) live out the romantic love with hopes of finding an evolutionary experience
2) not to live out the attraction of romantic love.
Some even go through many experiences with different subjects in romantic love but with the same exact story lines over and over until one day they finally learn the lessons of evolutionary awakening designed for that specific theme.
If we believe, or are at least open to, the above mentioned ideas we may also agree that control is only a partial possibility. This may even help many people feel as though they can at least participate in the adventures of romantic love with a little bit of control.
So what is the conclusion on this trinket of treasured focus? Maybe some control is available in romantic love for evolutionary awakenings to move into higher levels of living but magic can also hold a huge spot in the surprise of attraction and desire with infinite possibilities into the quantum leaps of Soul.
The end…. At least for today!
Love,
