I really recommend the book A Return To Love by Marianne - TopicsExpress



          

I really recommend the book A Return To Love by Marianne Williamson to everyone... This is why we’re attracted to people who don’t want us.. We know they’re not into it from the gate. We PRETEND to be surprised later when we find ourselves betrayed and they leave after an intense but fairly short stay. They fit perfectly into our ego’s plan: I will not be loved. The reason that nice, available people SEEM boring to us is because they bust us. The ego equates emotional danger with excitement, and claims that the nice, available person isn’t dangerous enough. The irony is that the OPPOSITE is true: available people are the ones who ARE dangerous, because they confront us with the possibility of real intimacy. They might actually hang around long enough to get to know us. They could melt our defenses, not through violence but through love. This is what the ego doesn’t want us to see. Available people are frightening. They threaten the ego’s citadel. The reason we’re not attracted to them is because we’re not available to ourselves. -Marianne Williamson
