It confronts us with the awareness that love has nothing to do with what is advertised in consensus reality, that there is a deeper love shunned by the outer world. This love becomes our task to explore, even if this means doing so alone. A most significant experience on the way to acceptance is to acknowledge aloneness. Aloneness (all-oneness) is our authentic nature. We are always alone. We came into this planet alone and we will leave alone. And also during our whole staying in this world, no matter how we engage in relationships, we continue to be alone, although we may forget about it or pretend it is not the case. True love have nothing to do with the idea that someone is the other half of my soul and that I need him or her in order to be whole and feel complete. Love is not being half of an entirety with another, love is being both a whole, is accepting to be alone, and only when you can be alone with someone there is true love regardless of whether this aloneness is accepted by the other or not.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Franco Santoro" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/franco-santoro/acceptance-leads-to-the-direct-experience-of-true-love-it-confronts/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/47c/franco-santoro-14540_acceptance_acceptance-leads-to-the-direct-experienc_1827019.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/47c/franco-santoro-14540_acceptance_acceptance-leads-to-the-direct-experienc_1827019.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/47c/franco-santoro-14540_acceptance_acceptance-leads-to-the-direct-experienc_1827019.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Acceptance leads to the direct experience of true love.
