I posted this on my blog and am posting it here so that more can read it.
Hopefully you can benefit from it.
"We are conditioned never to forget that "me" and "not me" are different, with only one notable exception: falling in love. To fall head over heels in love is to share your self with another. The ego's barriers fall for a time, and the lover and his beloved agree that they have merged into one identity. For as long as the enchantment lasts, one feels the other's emotions, breathes the others breath. There is an invincible sense of union that makes being alone too painful to endure".
