THE DAO OF LOVE By Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho (An excerpt from the original work, Real World Views, Book 8 by Professor Dr. Tan Man-Ho entitled "To Know, To Understand, To Be; The 'I's and 'it's of Man; Commentaries, Thoughts and Aphorism on the Social Life of Man", April 1977 ~ September 1977 Discourses, Chapter 3, Section F: "The Dao of Love" pp. 97 ~ 101)
F. THE DAO
OF LOVE
1
Love is in the meat, not outside it.
‘I’ can only create a condition for love to arise but it may disappear into
its various forms. Physical unity, the placing of two beings side by
side, is the necessary condition for the higher forms of unity. Laws
and economy can only bind man and woman materially. It is physical
unity supported by sex, instinctive, emotional and intellectual commitment
that can beget love. Only conscious love can last the longest.
Instinctive love, which is selfish, sensuous and temporal, disappears as
soon as the sensuous object is removed. Sex love, love due to the vibration of sex
impulses, is short-lived and seeks immediate release. Emotional love,
like and dislike, is love that easily turns into hate. Moving center does not
love. It is physical, it seeks to nail the two sides —
physical and soul together and runs on kinetics, friction and pleasure
reflexes. It helps in social relationship and material creation. Conscious love is love at a higher emotional and
intellectual level, and it is the rarest and most powerful one that can
occur between humans. 2
The
production of the fine psyche love hydrogen is a basic function of beings
especially the higher beings called man. Only by producing them can
man's radiating-atmosphere change. Your atmosphere becomes different
as soon as you have acquired a certain amount of a different type of
hydrogen. Being-states rest essentially on the type of hydrogen
filling the center. Change of inner states always occurs internally,
not externally. The external conditions are the conditions of the
change. 3
When we speak of love, it is an internal
question. The external factors only create the condition for internal
love. Love demands the existence of a certain form of hydrogen known
as love hydrogen. Physical love means the physical process produces
the love that in turn is responsible for the inner change. The
attraction is purely on the physical dimension when the physical object is
ugly love disappears. Emotional love is higher; love here occurs in
the feelings. 4
Being-state is brought about by the
presence of psyche hydrogen in the centers. In the phenomenon of love,
certain kinds of love hydrogen with definite cosmic properties are present
in the body and they are reciprocally transmitted through clairvoyance and
telepathy. There is a very strong binding force holding the two
biochemical hormone "concentrations” together besides the cosmic properties
of clairvoyance and telepathy. That is why love-couples are tied by
just these strong invisible-strings
even though they are at great distance apart. The arising of this
being-state, love, and the lingering on of this love hydrogen is present. If love hydrogen disappears, other type of hydrogen
would occupy the psychological space. The link between couple would be
in terms of other ‘I's. 5 When you meet a feeling girl, feel with her. Don't mentate because she uses feelings to connect with your mentation, and everything will go wrong. You are schooled if you are three-centered, and you will know which is which! 6 If he is to be “internal," you must use “internal” language or essence language. Otherwise, a beauty cannot blossom. "A man's sexual
response, on the other hand, may be called out only by a particular woman.
We say he
is ‘in love’ with her.”
(An idea of instinctive-sex-love, quoted from Thouless) 7
A women-mother is definitely more reliable
than a woman-female for bearing the fruit of a proper family. A
woman-mother and a man-male cannot essencely come together for a family
except by a clear-cut acceptance of a difference of function during the
process of family and business creation. The women-mother would have
to be with the family maintenance alone and the man-male, the other
organizations of concern. Something seemingly to be a lose position in a
win-lose situation. 8
Man and woman are not entirely different
beings. What man can do woman can too — except the unavoidably
biological and certain psychological action that are different.
Producing children and preserving family is one thing. ‘I's must be
the same for something to happen. In terms of time,
satisfying oneself takes up a portion, living with a partner takes up
another portion, work, another portion and love and sex, yet another
portion. Problem comes when one of the factors competes for time. 9
Now if chance the beings of the
opposite sex intend to establish intimate relation they could land up with
frustration if they can escape from the spell of being selective. And
in this frustration, the emotional horse
can be very wild. I personally have
to relate to you this that one day, in my house, a lady chanced to meet me
and we had an intimate talk. After the talk, she contracted a
dis-ease
called love-at-first-sight.
She decided to arrange for a second
meeting in the same place. And you know what happened: “Why
are you running away like a child? Does your mathematics allow a
union? The horse has run away!” 10
I
was, of course, very aware of these what are called female beings who, owing
to the requirement of Great Nature, gradually formed in their body a certain
crystallization called there “I am
thirsty for a partner”. And if
chance these sex-active beings pass by any handsome young beings, they would
not hesitate to pull them into their net. If sexual desire is
triggered in them, copulation easily happens. If chance you see
such a group of youngsters, I beg you to be very sensitive and conscious
enough not to fall into the
psychomagneticism. If chance they
find a suitable mate, they will lure them into the world of sexual ecstasy
of sex, and from them onwards to the first mysterious
seed of the family.
Not only men spoil the ladies, ladies also spoil men. Like a drowning
man grasping a straw, a drowning lady grasp for any Tom, Dick and Harry.
Out of selfish fear, they pluralize their love and keep a few lovers in
stock. Yet, they would want to be secretive about it. If one is
slow in grabbing, the lady will increase the grabbing by making the other
hidden visible and so on and so forth. If chance she notices a love
competitor, she would try to poison the relationship. She wants the
attachment to break before it ossifies. Now, be very careful my dear, if you find yourself
in this ill-fated shoe you must make sure that you did not get drown or
killed. I must warn you this: Three centers point to one being in parallel.
And you do point. Yet the other's three centers point in other
directions but look like in your direction. As a result, a lot of
energy and precious time is wasted by the both sexes. 11
If you are handsome and hold a good
job, which can survived a family. If one of these being-females, who
is desperate, notices you, you are assured of a star role. Many of
these relationships begin initially as a
round peg in a square hole before the wear
and tear make them fit. 12
Physical love and emotional love
lead to hardship. Conscious love or objective responsibility
consciously is the only form of universal love that has escaped from the
red dust
and operates at a higher level. 13
What probably people mean when they say
love is love of the feeling and love of the physical body or sex. When
they experience a flash of conscious love, they are unable to recognize it. 14
There can be no identification in
conscious love, otherwise, it is not conscious love. Conscious love
recognizes that the love object is perishable. It only seeks to delay
its vanishing but does not regret nor feel hurt if the object really
disappears.
