(“Revealing the Ruses of Romance”) From birth to death, we humans are repeatedly inundated with compelling biological drives & enormous cultural pressures — many of which persuade us to find “true love” or find a “healthy partner” or even find our “Soulmate” … Indeed, there is so much attention being paid to attaining love and […]
Lie #01: We have been told that, “Love is blind” … … and yet in Truth: LOVE is our only real lucidity. Yes, I know that “love at first sight” and “falling head over heels” are actually flashes of lust, and as such have nothing whatsoever to do with real Love. And yet even then, […]
Lie #02: We have been told that, “Love is a sign of weakness”&/or that, “Love makes the lover weak”… … and yet in Truth: LOVE is our only real Strength. For it is in defending ourselves that we calcify our isolation, and it is in pushing others away from us that we grow weary. Pure […]
Lie #03: We have been told that, “Love requires luck”; that finding Love depends upon external circumstances & happenstances in our lives that are essentially beyond our control or influence … … and yet in Truth: LOVE simply IS. LOVE is a power that is always present — & a choice that is allWays available […]
Lie #04: We have been told that, “Love is who you can see yourself with for the rest of your life” &/or that, “Love is – for the rest of your life – who you cannot see yourself without” … … and yet in Truth: LOVE is who you See while you are Loving. LOVE […]

Lie #06: We have been told that, “Love hurts when you give too much”… … and yet in Truth: LOVE is Giving everything; and in Giving everything, LOVE makes LOVE the Healing. In fact, it is the greatest of ironies that LOVE can only be received fully while being given completely, and that we can […]
Lie #07: We have been told that, “Love must be manifested to be had”; that we must manipulate it, co-create it, visualize it, seduce it &/or tease it into being … … and yet in Truth: LOVE is only to be accepted; never engendered or demanded. LOVE is to be courageously given where it is […]

Lie #09: We have been told that, “Love requires a balance of give & take”… … and yet in Truth: LOVE is a Giving thing, and a Giving thing alone. For when we take, we cannot be Giving, and when we Give, a taking dare not be born. And once we understand this to be […]
