Scientists, philosophers, novelists, psychologists, and filmmakers, all different kind of people, different professions with nothing in common. Yet time and again something unites them. The urge to explain the wonderful and mysterious phenomenon of love. Each of these professions has a different approach to understanding and explaining it. While some talk about the beloved’s eyes, some speak of the pounding of the heart. Some would spent a lifetime in the search of that vision of beauty which for them epitomises the greatest emotion ever felt by a human being, a symbol which sums up perfectly the concept of love, while some would give a larger than life character to a love story, projecting their interpretation at the rate of 24 frames a second, trying different combinations, going through all the pain and pleasure again and again to arrive at the perfect model of the love story and facing heartburn, rejection, ecstasy and bliss on the way. Evolutionists will reduce it to the dynamics of survival, in the process, unconsciously putting it forward as the only way to achieve immortality, by the propagation of the species, while medical scientists would call it a chemical reaction in the brain, akin to a high one gets after using cocaine. Then there are psychologists who would use whatever you say about love ‘against you in the court of law’.
Whatever their view, it is evident that love is the all encompassing emotion which brings people together, cutting across all boundaries of race, religion, and even professions. Although, scientists would now have us believe that love is not really an emotion but a drive, like hunger or thirst. Perhaps the most transcending is the view propagated by practitioners of Past Life Regression therapy, who affirm what romantics all over the world have been saying since time immemorial. True love lasts forever. Some bonds, it seems remain unbroken over several lifetimes, and people tend to meet each other again and again, to repay debts, to teach and learn from each other. In the past it was philosophers who had the task of maintaining the faith of humanity in the power of love as they ranked the highest in the echelons of the intellectuals. Now that we look to science for the validation of our beliefs, the fact that the soul exists and so does eternal love is being given a new lease of life by the people practising this form of therapy. Well, vive l’amour.
