Subject: [K-list] love again and again
From: rhjcrestone
On 2002/04/01 20:57, rhjcrestone posted thus to the K-list: In my opinion, people who consider unconditional love as boundary-
less merging are coming from a desperate, infantile place (and I mean
that literally, not as an insult) - as infants we're all like that,
but an adult who's like that is terribly threatened by boundaries and
will have all kind of excuses in the name of love to tell you why
they are right to stay stuck that way. Hey, tough love works, and
sometimes that means showing people their shadow, which will cause
some people to detonate in spectacular style. But then, we see these
deities like Kali, Bhairava, Mahakala with fangs and claws, drinking
blood and all that, and there's a reason for that (beyond all the
Josph Campbell talk about how this represents this and that
represents that)- it's simply that some aspects of this work can feel
like that at times, and people who are too afraid of their own shadow
will go off like skyrockets when things get down to brass tacks. Too
much of what we call "love" is an attempt to run away from life. It
ain't easy, folks, but it sure is interesting. Like Disneyland, only
it doesn't close at night.
