Love versus RomanceWhen a couple are genuinely related to each other,they are willing to enter into the whole spectrum of human life together. They transform even the unexciting,difficult,and mundane things into a joyful fulfilling component of Life. By contrast romantic love can only last as long as a couple are "high" on one another,so long as the money lasts and the entertainments are exciting. "Stirring the oatmeal" means that two people take their love off the airey level of exciting fantasy and convert it into earthly practical immediacy. Love is content to do many things that Ego is bored with,love is willing to work with the others moods and unreasonableness.Love is willing to fix breakfast and balance the chequebook,Love is willing to do these "oatmeal" things of Life because it is related to a person and not a projection...

The universe is a deity in the process of becoming conscious"There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world." --Emmet Fox

Anyone who is cutting their own path through life, especially opinionated women, sensual men and precocious kids. Anyone with a dream and the stamina to see it through. Alchemists who turn pain and experience into consciousness and joy. Wayne Coyne, Oprah, working on being my own hero
