Is Romantic Love an Illusion? --- by Catherine Corona, D.S.S.
You yearn for the exhilaration of romance and feel you are missing something. You meet someone, butterflies jump in your stomach when you see him. She makes your heart fall to your knees. Yet that first flush of attraction changes somehow. Before too long, he says or does something (or doesn't) and you feel hurt. Or you keep waiting for Mr. or Ms. Right to appear. If the romance disappears or never shows up are you forever without love?

No. The love that enlivens and gives meaning to life is the unconditional, eternal love that is the source of our spiritual fulfillment. Contrary to Hollywood movies, the media and advertising, it is not the relationship that is the source of love, but love that is the source of a true and lasting relationship.

And those who do not have a romantic partner in life can have a life with as much love as those with the most solid of relationships. How?

There are simple, practical techniques and exercises when practiced daily serve to awaken the infinite wellspring of love that dwells in the heart and soul of each person. Through practicing loving as a way of life people have experienced a greater confidence in their lives, greater happiness, improved health and well-being. Those with partners have realized a deeper connection and unconditionality which strengthens and sustains the love that initially brought them together.

Through tapping love as your spiritual source those who are single have found that the strong internal wellspring of love they develop creates serenity and satisfaction for them. If you are looking for a partner, the feeling of lack can be quenched, and your life's companion might just find you. If you have a partner, you can discover together, a deeper, sustaining, eternal love that endures.
