Nice analogy. The Kama Sutra being "the Bible of sex." Although having textbook knowledge leads to awkward beginnings, ultimately you want someone who's read the book on it. Otherwise, you are fumbling towards ecstasy. Yogi Bhajan writes that "love is ecstasy." Thank God for ecstatic poets like Rumi, who write of friendship, lovers, and the soul's bliss. Rumi :) He is beloved. Of course, some espouse the theory that love is blind. This has been scientifically proven to be true, as in "feelings of love lead to a suppression of activity in the areas of the brain controlling critical thought (BBC News 14 June 2004). Most Christians believe that God is love. And that love is patient and kind (Corinthians 13:13). What is the Jewish conception of love? I read somewhere that it comes as a result of constant giving to another person. What is the connection between compassion and love? Love, me
