I imagine ultimate love as knowing and being known so completely that we are as one, without distinction. Oneness feels much like loneliness, and so I often handle loneliness by viewing it as the result of achieving ultimate love, and by feeling gratitude for my separations.
Disagree. Real love involves each person's mental map of the other including some blank spaces, dark continents, 'here be monsters' zones, and refuges for privacy and mystique.

I think the word 'love' encompasses a lot of things, and we mean differing things by it. I agree with you about how this functions in a relationship; my original tweet was using it in a more psychedelic sense.

Would love you to do a podcast on that topic.

That's well said, and pretty much how my experience of it is. The strangest part of the map of them is the part that is their map of you as seen from their perspective...

I think this is the psychological component that is the, broadly speaking, 2nd stage of relationship (the preceding stage a pre-mental infatuated flow state driven by hormonal-biological pressures). this 2nd is pragmatic, cost/benefit analyses..behavioural obligations

One could argue the stage that is potentially developed beyond this psychological “2nd” is the one described by Aella; it is true conditionless spiritual love. It is the observance & acceptance of your partner as immaculate manifestation of energy & awareness. which you are too.

The greatest barrier to this 3rd stage - whether in relationship to a partner or to your own self - is the seemingly infinite layers of conditioned fear, self-protection, judgement, social pressure, confusion... It may be true love but it is the hardest to embody.
