Did you ever fall in love? With a person, or with an experience or object; something beautiful to you, that you longed to have and make a part of your life?

I certainly know I have. And the strongest experience of falling in love for me personally I never actually call that. Why? Because ‘falling in love’ did not begin to do justice to the actual experience. It felt more like time ceased to exist, while I arrived home. Forever, completely, eternally, truly home. It felt tingly, unreal and yet more real than anything I had ever experienced up to that point. A soul connection. A recognition of someone so instantly familiar to me, it felt surreal. All of my beauty, my insecurities, my ego-moments, my quirks, my funny moments, my solitude, my wisdom, my life’s questions and my drive to forever expand – his soul read all of it in an instant. There were no secrets. No place to hide; and no desire to, either. Just an incredible amount of light and love.

A Course In Miracles teaches as its basic principle that our sense of separation is not true and somewhere deep down we know this. So we look for the experience that will liberate us. And guess what? Most often we find this experience in our love relationships!

So, this morning, I read: ‘It [falling in love…] is a sense of actual escape from limitations. If you will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you will realize it is a sudden unawareness of the body, and a joining of yourself and something  else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes part of you, as you unite with it. And both become whole, as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens is that you have given up the illusion of a limited awareness, and lost your fear of union. The love that instantly replaces it, extends to what has freed you, and unites with it.’

Wow, can you sense how powerful this is? Falling in love helps us let go of the belief we have in limitations – which is strong, very strong. We exceed it, we take the other person (or the thing…) and make them a complete, intrinsic part of our mind. We become one. Our body does not play the role of gatekeeper, to keep our secrets in and the other person’s things out. We completely let go of our fear to be seen, felt, heard and understood. That is what I experienced that day. An energetic thing? Yes, for sure. A physical thing? Yes, also, but it is not the main reason I experienced it. The main lesson to learn for me, was the fact that I have a choice. I can choose to cling to my belief in separation; in which case when his body is not with me, I feel not complete, unhappy, depressed and lacking. Or I can choose oneness; trusting the feeling that we are one because minds are joined, and bodies are not. In choosing oneness, I get to experience my life feeling him with me, always.

I choose the latter, and this is my hope for you too. I wish you your memory of Super Love, which you hold within your soul.
