“Let Go of My Ego”: Falling in Love: Marc Gafni

Ecstasy undermines our sense of ego and personhood.
On one level, that is terrific. It is the gate to the shared identity of intimacy. Moreover, it is the healing of the original sin of misperception, the thinking that I am separate from God. It is the ultimate embrace of love.

And yet Love requires the affirming of the integrity of other. That is a withdrawal of self which creates boundaries. At the same time, love is about the melting of boundaries, the absorption of the two into a higher one. If love misses either of these it is overwhelmed by shadow.
