The romantic quality of love which is between separate entities is a doorway into the deeper love ... a lot of people experience a quality they call love but theyâre doing it with their mind, theyâre not really opening their hearts fully, they are loving, meaning I am attracted to ⊠or I am attached to⊠when we talk about love versus fear for example, we are talking about âbeingâ versus âfearâ, or âunityâ versus âseparatenessâ, would be the other way of saying it.
So I would say that when the fear dissipates you are feeling at home in the universe. Meaning your identity with your separateness isnât overriding your feeling of connection with everything to the point that youâre feeling cut off and vulnerable - which is where the root of the fear is. So as you cultivate that unitive quality the fear dissipates, so the relation is one between love and fear, but itâs not the love in the sense of âI love youâ, its the sense that we are together in the space of love.
