Subject: [K-list] love again and again 
From: rhjcrestone
  
On 2002/04/01  20:57, rhjcrestone posted thus to the K-list: In my opinion, people who consider unconditional love as boundary- 
less merging are coming from a desperate, infantile place (and I mean  
that literally, not as an insult) - as infants we're all like that,  
but an adult who's like that is terribly threatened by boundaries and  
will have all kind of excuses in the name of love to tell you why  
they are right to stay stuck that way. Hey, tough love works, and  
sometimes that means showing people their shadow, which will cause  
some people to detonate in spectacular style. But then, we see these  
deities like Kali, Bhairava, Mahakala with fangs and claws, drinking  
blood and all that, and there's a reason for that (beyond all the  
Josph Campbell talk about how this represents this and that  
represents that)- it's simply that some aspects of this work can feel  
like that at times, and people who are too afraid of their own shadow  
will go off like skyrockets when things get down to brass tacks. Too  
much of what we call "love" is an attempt to run away from life. It  
ain't easy, folks, but it sure is interesting. Like Disneyland, only  
it doesn't close at night.
