If the valves allowing the flow of romantic love energy are turned on it is difficult indeed to just snap your fingers and turn them off. It helps a lot when one of the parties turns the energy in a different direction. When this happens the main thing that is left is the pull of astral love with no interplay. Interplay, when both parties are sending and receiving energy, is particularly powerful.

The most powerful diversion is another romantic interest. If you wish to end a relationship that still has a lot of pull on you just aggressively look for someone else. The minute you send to another the pull from the first will greatly diminish and no longer be painful.

But suppose you can't find a replacement. What then? In that case make some goals at self improvement and plunge into them. This will take your attention off the lost love and focus it elsewhere. Remember energy follows thought.

"However, if Love evokes Love and this is the Principle, then this torturous person should eventually Love you back and stop being torturous if you are sending them Love.

"Or doesn't this principle work with those who are your 'saviour'."

JJ:

Love evokes love and hate evokes hate but not necessarily as a linear reaction.

For instance Jesus turned the other cheek and loved those who hated him and what happened? They hated him even more and crucified him and persecuted his followers afterwards. Even so, his example has drawn forth untold quantities of love over the centuries.

Many spiritual teachers have been hated and reviled yet hate did not evoke hate from them, but love.

On the other hand, when love and hate are cast into the great spiritual Internet those energies are returned to the sender in some way, and with interest.

When you send love toward a person who has rejected the soul energy of love it confronts him as a strange alien vibration that he doesn't like. Instead of sending love back he is likely to send hate instead.

To see the soul in another does not mean that you actively send the guy love. This must be done with judgment if done at all. When you see the soul in another you see his source and it may be a source that he has totally rejected. Even so, it is the duty of the disciple to see the perfection of the soul in all people but only send love as directed by your own soul. One must be aware of personality problems and avoid danger in relationships as served by common sense.

One must use the Lion Principle in dealing with difficult people. When you visit a lion in a zoo you may realize that, if nor for the cage, he would eat you. Because you are safe you can look upon the majestic beast and see in his soul the glory of God manifested in this life. Does that mean you should break into his cage and give him a hug? Of course not. Wisdom dictates that you appreciate him from a distance.

If you get too close to the lion and he bites your arm should you then hate him for the rest of your life?

No. You should not hate the lion any more if he bites you than if he does not for that is his nature whether you are careless enough to get bitten or not.

The difficult people in our lives are like lions that we should see as divine creations but from whom we protect ourselves by keeping a safe distance. We must not give them too much attention or wrong attention or they could turn on us.
