The Spaces of Conscious Love

Оглавление

Dedicated to my lovely children Egor, Darya, Ilya, and Anna.

Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.


William Shakespeare, sonnet 116

The immense spaces of love are gradually covered somewhere with already well-trodden paths, and in some places with only barely noticeable lost paths. There is no and, perhaps, there will never be highways. You can learn how to navigate here by studying ancient myths and legends, getting acquainted with fascinating stories about journeys to the love land of experienced writers, or referring to modern popular guidebooks that guarantee an easy fun ride on the boats of love along the turbulent currents with steep rapids and sharp turns.

Lost in the spaces of love, sometimes they resort to the help of a stalker, in the role of which acts as a psychotherapist. Well, one intuition is good, but two, of which the second with a scientific background, is better. And yet all this way or more each part goes alone, learning from their own mistakes, finding a way out of a deadlocked relationship, making their own fundamental discoveries, or accumulating solid baggage of small but hard-won life lessons to that time when the path has already led to a quiet and cozy harbor. Since ancient times, travelers to uncharted lands left behind maps, so that those following them could see the whole picture of the path, calculate their strength, learn about the dangers that lie in wait, and not go astray at the forks.

The book Enjoy, Comprehend, Love presents carefully selected landmarks in the field of love relationships tested by centuries traditions or based on philosophical views or supported by the achievements of modern sciences. Here you will find everyday rules passed from generation to generation and guesses of famous thinkers illuminating the depths of their hearts, you will also find scientific calculations and strategic maps of love, as well as outline sketches of desperate prospectors of yet unexplored paths in the endless spaces of love.

The author is convinced that love can be made friends with the mind, filled with consciousness, while not losing emotional saturation and vivid impressions of love. Enjoy, Comprehend, Love sequentially examines the stages and various facets of love, as well as those paradoxes, riddles, and traps of love that often lead love to a dead end and create irresistible barriers to the conscious experience of this feeling. Probably, it will be difficult to learn from the book lessons of love for all occasions, but everyone will be able to adopt two or three priceless considerations on how to get out of difficult situations in a relationship with a loved one. Lovers are invited to take a fresh look at crises of love and learn to understand them before they have to face disappointments and the fading of love.

I hope this book will be your kind companion. But you, dear reader, we must not forget that you go your own road (or off-road) because only you know that beckons you and waits there, far ahead. The book contains quotes and excerpts from classic literary works that, upon thoughtful reading, give rise to reflect on your own path of love. And if the reader decides to turn to the full texts of the cited works, then he can again plunge into the multifaceted world of gracious love.
