Re: The Biological Dream: An Excerpt
by Anonymous
Reading this again, finding it clarifying in such a way it makes me happy. Because in this I see the possibility of "falling in love" as something with a potential to not be strictly confined to man-woman relations. Common manners to think confines it culturally to the romantic relation man-woman, sexualising "falling in love", to my mind. I think of the young person's romantic feelings for a teacher, f.ex (a case of active Biological Dream?). I think of those who nurture the BD in relation to native cultures (as I've done). I think of all kinds of "impossible" passion and desire to unite, which only becomes "impossible" if thinking it to be "romantic love" that should lead to marriage or else be struggled against at all costs. How many activated cases of BD isn't surpressed and rejected due to not understanding it in a BD perspective? And how many activated cases of BD doesn't become a total disaster due to the idea that marriage should be based on romatic love and that romantic love therefore must lead to marriage? I love this your perspective that in my eyes truly opens up to the healing influence of love, a love that implies a looking with love on "falling in love" in a seing it as something potentially healing that can be triggered within us (but healing only in so far that we also handle it with wisdom). A healing power within us, just as C.G. Jung also tried to outline his impression of the phenomenon in his work. Hope I'm reflecting the meanings you're trying to outline in a recognision you feel fine with.
