Dear Ones,

I am writing this post for an acquaintance of mine, who just cannot locate the politeness to accept me as I am. Do you not hate it when folks try to make you over in their image? I do, for sure.

I ran across this in an article on deep-sea female angler fish recently …

There are anglerfish living deep in the ocean. It is dark down there, and the females have bioluminescent ‘lures’ attractive to that which they wish to eat. These ‘lures’ also attract male anglerfish. Once they find a mate, they hold onto her for life …

ALLUREMENT: ON USING LOVE AS A LURE

That reminded me of how we humans sometimes use Love as a Lure. I’m speaking of the outward-pouring of love from the heart chakra, not the neutral, unconditional love characteristic of the deep inner heart, the hridaya.

ON ‘DOING’ LOVE

This outward-pouring love is what you might call ‘doing’ love. I’m ‘doing’ love to someone else. And I’ve noticed, when this happens, I’m ‘doing’ it for a reason. Invariably ‘to do’ with my lower chakras. I ‘want’ security. I ‘need’ sex. I ‘have’ to control someone. And there you have it. Love in the service of the Lower Triangle (the first three chakras old style: the basal chakra, sexual chakra, and navel point).

ON FALLING IN LOVE

So then, how does the play unfold? ‘I’ ‘love’ ‘you’! WAY SO. ‘You’ ‘love’ ‘me’! WOW. We’re ‘in love’. We get married. And then, onto our stage march insecurity, sexual addiction, greed, possessiveness, jealousy, etc etc and OUT OUT OUT goes the flame of love. o sigh.

ON FEIGNING ROMANTIC LOVE

OR, heaven forfend, we may consciously use the Love Lure to attach a person to us. And then, The Games Begin. Happens often with men … I love you!  … Wedding bells. And then it is the Everyday Ed thing … sex on demand. And do the housework. Get the abortion. Go to work to help pay the mortgage.

FOR WOMEN: ON MISTAKING A MAN’S ONE NIGHT STAND FOR TRUE ROMANCE

OR, and this is a man or woman thing: I love you! … O wow!  … and: Oops! One night stand.
AND then sometimes, there is a sequel: Oops! Pregnant! Who was that masked marauder, anyway?

FOR MEN: ON MISTAKING A WOMAN’S FINANCIAL INSECURITY FOR TRUE ROMANCE

But sometimes it is a woman thing. I love you! … Wedding bells. Uh oh, she really just wants my money. Or my house. Or to destroy my heart utterly.

FOR MEN: ON BEING ATTACHED TO A WOMAN WHO LIKES TWO MEN

Here is an interesting picture: a female deep-sea angler fish (the big fish in the picture). Using her love Light (which dangles from the front of her head) she has lured in two male angler fish. They are a lot smaller than she is. You can see them in the picture, stuck there next to her tail. For life? Guess so. This picture reminds me vividly of a woman I met once. Two men not sufficing, she was angling for a woman lover too.

Dear Lord! Save me! I can definitely see the al-Lure of Unconditional Love.

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars
