Conscious and Unconscious loving

The most powerful Biblical myth image on choosing a partner is undoubtedly: “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother — be intimate with his lover and they shall be one flesh.”

In the interpretation of a second century scholar named Onkelos, this means you have to leave home in a deep way before you are able to have a free and intimate relationship with a partner. If you remain in your parents’ home, you may well choose the wrong partner.

Even if you choose the right partner, you will probably find it hard to create an intimate relationship. There are simply, in an adaptation of Onkelos’s phrase, “too many people in bed.”
