From falling in love to love for José María Doria

  • 2013

What does falling in love consist of? I live with my partner but I don't know if I'm in love anymore. How can I know?

Let's see what it means to be in love with our partner. Does anyone still confuse falling in love with love?

Actually what we call falling in love is that intense romantic passion that we know well is not love, but rather exaltation and drug.

Isn't falling in love a cocktail formed by idealism and erotic hope?

Maybe falling in love is a happily feverish dream, but just as it rises like a luminous hormone bomb, it suddenly wakes up and the daily landscape of both faces begins. It is at this point that a project of union and complicity on a larger scale can be born, leaving behind the stimulating secta of two people.

Falling in love resembles a bubble that lives permanently threatened by a needle. And what in the background such a state asks us to activate the account back to arrive one day, start from the zero point and begin to travel the true adventure. And even recognizing the obsession that falling in love entails, when it arrives, we celebrate what the Mystery has sweetly involved to expand consciousness.

In reality, the more maturity we have emerged, we do not confuse the crush with the state of love that our soul longs for. Love really demands from our hearts total integrity, discernment and renunciation. That is why when the crush ends, love begins.

While romance drugs, love awakens.
Robert A. Master

We well know that falling in love behaves like a pink chute that distracts and covers our intimate shortcomings. Love, on the contrary, asks us to take pain to the heart and assume day like ours what still seems alien. And just as romance avoids obstacles, love on the contrary commits itself and confronts the internal cause of what unbalances us.

Falling in love even if it is a possible bridge to love, has regressive streaks. It really relives in its exaltation that lost fusion of early childhood. That is why the end of falling in love and the beginning of love entail a certain degree of disappointment as an inevitable prelude.

Actually unlike falling in love cooperative love has a very wide sleeve. In it there is enough space for confrontation and even rage when it is devoid of hostility and violence. However, when we are trapped in love, we have more tendency to romanticize than to face the obstacles that come with developing and progressing.

When the rush of falling in love and its fireworks falls, a door opens to the depth of the link and the background derivatives that undoubtedly compensate for such absence.

It is not about mitigating love by ignoring the dark face that every couple sooner or later faces and many overcome. However, everything has a limit when boredom, demotivation, flat communication, resignation, frustration, and contempt ... appear coagulating the flow of living and evoking stagnant water.

When to cancel the link and end the relationship? How to recognize the signs that announce the end of love in the midst of tedious coexistence? What unresolved emotional programs invade a high number of couples, whose hatred and resentment are more present in the account?

The love that is born from attentive and silent observation is true medicine. A love that is not precisely a feeling, but a state of consciousness in resonance with the dimension of our deep essence. Let us finally honor the crush that with its spell fulfills the sacred mission of bringing the future couple into the joyful labyrinth of growth and self-awareness.
