Thank you for posting this. I just started reading this book and I'm 35...
I'm sitting here reading and crying like "Holy crap....somebody gets me." It's so humbling.

Yes and no. I get what he's saying. I guess love is infinite though. It's just being, and giving your attention to something, and that thing giving its attention to you. So in a way it is m*sturbatory in the sense that we all share the same Self/ God, and are just His creation experiencing and loving itself, but that is still love. What isn't love is the images we have about each other and ourselves that take us further from truth love and reality. Like in the Bible each time Adam and Eve bore children / made love it doesn't say that it says they 'knew each other'. So they realise their true nature and that they're meant to be together as one flesh and not separate. So I guess all of reality is just one complicated semi-autosexual romance story that always ends happily. I know I sound crazy that's just my two cents. I hope noone I know sees this. 😂It's just my belief.
