i have recently been using a change of perspective to understand love differently. i have long been disconnected from the type of love described in the american dream, the one true love, since we have had a good time we must cling to it and embellish it with blind devotion sacrifice. as i have experienced it it is a subtle, or maybe not, form of domination, in fact i have seen relationships as being the interplay of domination and submission. no judgement that is the way it is, one person takes the higher postions and one the lower and it may change moment to moment day to day. this too is the essence of understanding and utilizing sex, but all that is not what ihave meant to talk about.
so i have been changing the way i think about lovesongs when i hear them. i once embraced the idea of a mate, in a state of confusion, of experimentation, is this what i need? thats what i was told, but now i know better, the only true mate is more than just a chance meeting it is the result of effort, the effort that we take in ourselves long before we choose to share it with another. never should we seek completion from another for we will never find it there, just actors playing a role. so i have been thinking about music and love songs and sufi mystic poetry and in some songs i can hear the devotion worthy of god, or a god like being or of the higher self.
an obvious one is My sweet lord by george harrison, it was intentional that way. but there are others which you can find for yourself another on my mind now is I dont have anything by VAST it could have been intended, if i think of more i will post them too.
