"I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."
--Roy Croft
It can be quite tricky to talk about love or its after effects. And that is why I won’t be giving you tips on
- How to fall in love in 10 minutes or
- How to attract a girl in 2 minutes or
- How to break a relationship without breaking anyone’s heart
So what exactly is love?
The Beatles' George Harrison wondered in his famous love song about the "something" that "attracts me like no other lover." A University at Buffalo expert explains that that "something" is actually several physical elements that -- if they occur in a certain order, at the right time and in the right place -- can result in true love – Simple enough and yet quite complicated in a real life scenario.
I cannot resist bringing up the word ‘Mysticism’ here, as both love and mysticism are in some weird way are related to each other.
Mysticism:
The term "mysticism" comes from the classical Greco-Roman mystery cults.This is a belief in or the pursuit in the unification with the One or some other principle; the immediate consciousness of God.
Such were the findings of the philosopher W. T. Stace, who discovered seven common themes of mysticism when studying Roman Catholic, Protestant, ancient classical, Hindu, and American agnostic mystical experiences. They were (1) a unifying vision and perception of the One by the senses and through many objects; (2) the apprehension of the One as an inner life; (3) and objective and true sense of reality; (4) feelings of satisfaction, joy, and bliss; (5) a religious element that is a feeling of the holy and sacred; (6) a paradoxical feeling; (7) and inexpressible feelings.
If you cut out the philosophical words here, you will understand what I mean.
Hmm actually I Am more confused now than I was before. Perhaps, we may never be able to unravel the mysteries behind some things, like love, god and the universe,...
...and i think we should be grateful for that.
So long folks….
