My next blog goes into more detail of how the anima presents itself within an man and how the animus presents itself within a woman, and, to some degree how they interact with each other in relationships between men and women. However, to address point 2: It is for a man to take care of is "inner woman", his "anima" and be in relationship with her, just as it is a woman's responsibility to take care of and be in relationship with her "inner man" or "animus". It is also about being Fully Conscious of these more "invisible" aspects of ourselves, that tend to be repressed, even by the fact that our bodies are differentiated as "male" and "female" respectively. I think you've struck something relevant with "Point 4" because, yes, there is a lot to be said for much of the "falling in love" experience to be a biological program whose sole goal is reproduction. So, yes, I think it is high time we find out new ways to love one another. I will be addressing "Point 5" to some extent in a future blog. Not sure how everyone is going to react to what I have to say, but still think it needs to be said.

Do the anima & animus have to take care of each other, even within the same person? And if the projection is from a very healthy anima, that has been "taken care of" by the internal animus, what happens then?<br />3. But the love you are speaking of seems to be the kind of love Ben Ralson speaks of when he says we have to "experience ourselves as love."<br />4. This new kind of love you speak of may become a biological necessity in an overpopulated world, since the "old" kind of romantic love may have been nature's way of "fooling" people into a sexual union that advanced the species before Reality set in! :)<br />5. I've sometimes thought that lots of these romantic songs -- like Sade's -- were really, at a deep subconscious level, perhaps, songs sung to the Divine, coming from a deep longing to be (re)united with the Divine; and yet the "vibe" of such popular romantic songs is quite different from the devotional kirtan.
