Real Love
Real love is an impersonal power that transcends the concepts of love, which are interpretations of the supernal idea itself. It’s impossible to teach another of love. This is because love is the original state of being and always accessible as direct experience when in touch with the innocence and simplicity of life. When love is invoked and becomes the passion of living, all that eventually remains is a body purified of the corruption in matter.
Nothing is more confrontational and spiritually productive than being in a love partnership. This is because the power of attraction that brought two people together contains energetically the future circumstances to bring both to a deeper realisation of love. The often extreme challenges and difficulties encountered are love’s way of making each more honest to the privilege of being together in a relationship. When someone has suffered enough from the hurts and disappointments of past sexual experiences, they are in the necessary process of unlearning just about everything concerning love in existence.
Sometimes in making physical love, something happens out of the ordinary, even for people who are not necessarily spiritually inclined to make love more conscious. They reach or touch upon an exalted place of supreme beauty. This is registered as an extraordinarily potent quality of accentuated pleasure. This is the tantric power of union between the male and female principles. It happens to awaken, if possible, the idea of pure sensuality which is the inherent power of love within everybody on earth. When two people in partnership are willing to go all the way for love, the integrity of this divine state of being inspires them both to enter more deeply this sacred place of worship.
A man’s real authority is determined by his power to love woman and contain her sensual magnificence in lovemaking. Only ‘She’, the formless love behind the appearance of the billions of physical women’s bodies, on earth can bestow the accolade that radically changes his perception of love in existence. When a man has truly served woman, both in his endeavour to love her physically and in his worldly role, he undergoes a fundamental change in consciousness. This enables him to remain more present in the sexual act and to contain the beauty within the stillness of the exchange.
The female principle waits behind the veil of existence (forever if necessary) for the virtue of man to be worthy to unite with her spiritual essence. The presence of the male principle purified of the taint of self enables ‘She’ to enter existence to realise her eternal opposite in the flesh. The union is registered as rapture and a sense of completion. Perhaps the most extraordinary realisation in this intensified space of purity is that it is love itself which makes the love, the sensory bodies of man or woman simply being the means through which the wonder of life is made more conscious on earth.
This is unattainable for the man in the street Lance, also the female..
While sex remans the dominant factor, each partner rushes for the orgasm, then finds other
things to do… your article sets the bar high…few will reach it…
It’s just a matter of hearing how it can be done from someone who is living what they say. The prerequisite is to have suffered enough at the hands of sex, which the man or woman in the street has not necessarily realised.
This reminds me of a poem I once wrote. I’ll share it below, perhaps. I have a question though. Can the Masculine and Feminine Principle be united within a single body? As inspired by grace? Or does it require a partner to do so?
poem by Farah
stroking your lips
thirsty for this kiss
placing my soul
down the oceans of abyss
enveloping within
the orbit of bliss
continuous mind-blowing
as i sit and reminisce
the moment in time
where beauty is sublime
savory lips intertwine
rapt in the mind – i define
you and i – in similarity
two melodic souls of rarity
collectively laying out
the heavens of musicality
.
It’s possible to realise God out of existence, independently of another, without the necessity of physical love, as is the case of many celibate teachers. The intelligence unites with consciousness, which informs the brain of an aspect of reality as transcendental truth. The love that the individual registers is the union of what Jung referred to as the ‘anima’ and ‘animus’, (the masculine and feminine principles) which is the devotion of the self now aligned in rapture to the source of the light of the Divine within the being. But that’s not a completion is it? All that’s happened, despite the rarity of this, is the realisation of what I am and have always been.
But life lived on the earth consists of both an inner and outer reality. God in existence is realised through the love and devotion of man and woman in the flesh. This is the rarest realisation of all. A celibate teacher is unable to address with any wisdom or practical guidance the plight of their fellow men and women, whose chief occupation in the world centres on the love life and the perennial search for union with the beloved in the reflection in the body of the opposite genders. This is because the closest thing to God in existence is man and woman in the flesh.
I understand; thank you for this lovely response. I agree that the love and devotion of man and woman in the flesh is the rarest realisation of all. The poem I shared is from 2004. In other words, I am still waiting behind the “veil of existence” as you put it. I am also reminded of what Rainer Maria Rilke says on love between humans:
“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.”
I’d like to take back the words, “I am waiting behind the veil of existence”. I am not waiting. The wounded maiden waits, apparently. I am already that LOVE, and I embody the qualities of the Spiritual Woman you spoke of in your video. Felt inspired to voice this; thank you for reading.
