Are Spirituality and Love Illusions? |
Question:
You have mentioned that romantic love is an illusion. I agree with that.
But can't you say that about spirituality as a whole? That it is all an
illusion we choose to believe in?
Gary:
The experiences of romantic love are real. You feel exhilaration, excitement,
attraction, fulfilled, loveable and complete. It is the perceived source of these
experiences that is illusory. You are the source, not another individual.
When you attribute to another individual the ability to make you feel these
things, you become powerless. As you begin to cultivate the parts of yourself
that are the true source of these experiences, you become powerful.
When you become powerful, you are able to interact with others
without dependency and without expectations. You are able to act from an
empowered heart and not be attached to the outcome. The first experience—in which you feel that your ability to experience your own worthiness,
lovability, and value—is an illusion. The second experience—in which you are able to experience your value, worth, and lovability with or
without another individual—is real.
