It’s really odd how we say “falling in love” like it’s a pit, an abyss, or something that has knocked us to our knees. Kind of a negative notion, actually, around such a magnificent force — which love truly is. A force beyond simple/superficial egocentric emotional feels.
If we really pause to think and hit reset, what if we said, “expanding in love” or “ascending in love” or as one spirituality writer put it, “rising in love.” Wouldn’t that make us feel powerful, abundant, delighted. Happy.
You can also liken the force of love to a stream. It’s flowing, we step in and flow with its current ever onward.
The problem you point to Kris Gage, is worth examining. There is no real on/off switch — that’s delusional. There’s only a shift in perception. Attempting to quantify love is like someone who’s practicing living in the moment trying to figure out how long a moment is. It’s all now and fuck the rest of the mental exacerbations. Same with love.
Thanks again Kris, for your provocative thinking that keeps things fresh on Medium. 🌟
