Being in love is little more than the state of transferring onto some new person – your “love object” – all your repressed childhood hopes

The Illusion that leads to addiction explained: Although society and most people – and of course popular music – hold being “in love” as the ideal state of human existence, they are all deluding themselves, literally. Being in love is little more than the state of transferring onto some new person – your “love object” – all your repressed childhood hopes that your parents will finally come to rescue you. This hope, which is the root of all addictions, is so intense that if you actually believe that it can be fulfilled it sends you into the deepest emotional orbit, more intense even than heroin. No wonder most people desperately strive for it.But instead inherit the hole in the soul of no emotional maturity just the constant longing for love fulfilment. A constant bargaining with a love delusion.This societal programming has to be reversed so that self worth and self love can sprout into the happiness we so richly deserve instead of the delusion of love slavery.The Ten Stages addresses this during its study course.
