Real Love, Holy Love, True Love of the Bridal Chamber by the True God the King of Light

"And such a nature is prone to love and ready to return love, always embracing that which is akin to him. And when one of them meets with his other half, the actual half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy, and one will not be out of the other’s sight, as I may say, even for a moment: these are the people who pass their whole lives together, and yet they could not explain what they desire of one another. For the intense yearning which each of them has towards the other does not appear to be the desire of lover’s intercourse, but of something else which the soul of either evidently desires and cannot tell, and of which she has only a dark and doubtful presentiment."

Aristophanes’s Speech from Plato’s Symposium

“All of us possess some electrical and magnetic forces within, and, just like a magnet, we exert a force of attraction and repulsion...
Between lovers that magnetic force is particularly powerful and its action has a far-reaching effect.”

"It is when you look in the eyes that you will realize whether things can become deeply romantic. The Body will only activate the lower chakras, the Eyes activate the Soul."

"The soul has a hidden abyss, untouched by time and space, which is far superior to anything that gives life and movement to the body.
Into this noble and wondrous ground, this secret realm, there descends that bliss of which we have spoken.
Here the soul has its eternal abode. Here a man becomes so still and essential, so single-minded and withdrawn, so raised up in purity, and more and more removed from all things. . . .
This state of the soul cannot be compared to what it has been before, for now it is granted to share in the divine life itself."

Johannes Tauler (1300–1361)
