I really love my partner. What does it mean that you love them, do you think? What it means is that it’s like what Eckhart says. He says the goal of Rhineland mysticism was to this kind of receptivity. You have to make a space so that the Son of God can be born within you. And again, not being irreligious, but for me to love my partner is to cultivate that kind of receptivity, a space in which she can be within me. And I don’t mean in any purely romantic metaphorical sense. What I mean is she finds a purchase within me whereby she can realize herself in both senses of the word realize. And she can come to trust that space, that place of realization will always be available for her. And she can come to rely on it, a place through which she can transcend herself when she needs to and being committed to that and finding that inseparably bound up with my own project of trying to realize who I am. That’s for me the core of what it is to love somebody.
