Giving in Love: Marc Gafni
posted by Marc Gafni assistant
I want to be a lover. You want to be a lover. Together we are charting the course of love. What a tremendous privilege to journey with you, to share with you the secret of the cherubs, to be in awe together over the mystery of love.
As we have said, the model for being an erotic lover — in all facets of our existence — is the sexual. I see you and you are gorgeous, magnetically dazzling, to me. I yearn for you — all of me wants to break down and dissolve the barriers between us, to enter the inside, where the world stands still for a moment and I am inside the chrysalis of all reality. You-nified. Since being a lover is modeled on the sexual, we understand that love too is a perception. Moreover, love is a Perception-Identification Complex. I perceive the infinite specialness, the God point in you, and identify that highest point in you as the Real You.
In the understanding of the quantum spirit, I understand that my perception not only discloses a reality that exists, it actually brings this particular reality into existence. “I love you” means both “I perceive you in your beauty” and “You become even more beautiful under my gaze.” Remember, love is a verb. So just as when I shine shoes, they become shinier, when I love you, you become lovelier.
Built into our spiritual hard-wiring is a great desire to realize the beauty and divinity that is our birthright. The experience of falling of love is a true perception of this. It allows us a glimpse of union; of what life might be when the thick walls of ego dissolve. We understand, nevertheless, that those walls will always be raised again. Though a poetic paradox, it is true that that which is razed, will be only raised again. Ego separation will, sooner or later, always snap back into place. It is precisely at this time, that the real work of loving begins. We seek, by doing the work, to reclaim the heights we glimpsed in the initial ecstasy. Those heights, and even greater ones.
