Sometimes I know I'm going to far in drawing energy from this image, as if I'd made of it an egregore, and then I'm plagued with guilt. And then, when in the presence of the object of this infatuation, the image in the mind can become a sort of shield, or a barrier between the dream and Earth-bound reality. Sometimes reality bites, but othertimes there is chemistry enough for the human beings to step into the dream so their selves are living and breathing in a heavenly state. Then you see the stars; you experience the enlightenment of God as the mystery of love. infatuation as the creation of an image is a wonderful metaphor which sums up perfectly my experience, as when I am infatuated with someone (either through a sexual, emotional or intellectual reaction) I endeavour to think about and dream of them, night and day.

Some experiences we call "bad" and some "good", but they are all needed to push us to our destiny. Enjoy the "good" times, endure the bad. In retrospect all becomes clear, and we can smile (or indeed laugh) at the different twists of our journey. All forces serve to push us forward in the direction that we are heading.

Therefore with one simple fact all "images" can be erased, & laughed at upon reflection. I stay laughing anyway:)hahahahaha!!! Infatuation is far worse than love because it isn’t real.
