Love is a Perception Identification Complex: Marc Gafni

A Perception-Identification Complex

Even when we say that love is perception, we do not mean it is merely perception. It is, as we have implicitly seen in our discussion till now, a Perception-Identification Complex. And this is not Complex as in Oedipal sense, but rather in the simplest sense of a two-part structure.

Love is a two part formula. Simple indeed.
The beloved not only perceives the divine, the soul print of her lover, she identifies him with that divinity. She understands that as his essence. She sees and identifies her beloved with his infinite specialness.
