It is an initiatory journey traversing heaven and hell, evoking the entire spectrum of human emotions, including untamed wildness, profound joy, ecstasy, pain, grief, and deep-seated fear.

Denial of romantic relationships typically stem from a patriarchal approach to spirituality that seeks enlightenment by rising above earthly concerns to connect with celestial/divine realms, often through structured religious practices, monasticism, stoic philosophy, asceticism, and hero's journey archetypes. While such masculine-led approaches can connect us with higher consciousness, what goes up must come down. Sustained transformation is only possible by merging/aligning with the feminine principal.

Many religious leaders and spiritual teachers proclaim that romance is an illusion and thus a distraction on the path towards spiritual realisation. I wholeheartedly disagree.
