I don’t believe in love at first sight. I mean, how pathetic are you? Falling for a person you don’t even know. What if the person was everything you don’t like? Then there’s the “beautiful” category. Would you even fall for someone who wasn’t physically attractive at first sight? Or would you even look at someone who wasn’t pleasing to your eyes? How pathetic are you?

Of course, I didn’t believe in any of that. I always thought you had to know someone to actually love them. Until last night. And no, genius, I didn’t see someone and, my heart started to pound, falling for them at first sight. Unfortunately, I was doing this transcription assignment for one of my employers and I learned that love at first sight was actually possible – scientifically. Todd Murphy was talking on Coast to Coast to George Noory and they were onto something about reincarnation and the amygdala and all that stuff. I’ve been listening to Todd Murphy about a few days now and he’s really cool. Todd Murphy is a neuro-scientist or whatever and he deals with the brain.

Anyhow, love at first sight is possible. When you see this person, your system reacts. Let’s forget first and foremost about beauty issues and all that. You can’t control it. It’s your system that’s reacting and no matter what, you can’t help that. It happens when one’s brain starts to emanate magnetic signals to the other. You recognize a kindred spirit, someone who has the same level of consciousness as you do.

This is the same as a woman’s instinct when walking down a dark alley. She keeps her head down, doesn’t stare the guy in the eye and walks fast. She gets home safe. That’s because she followed her instincts, another thing which Todd also mentioned. One of our mistakes sometimes is following our thoughts, our being biased to an opinion whereas, right there in the middle of everything, there’s an instant, immediate truth that we can decipher if we only listened.

Todd also mentioned falling for someone who wasn’t particularly attractive for others but had him enchanted. This means that although he had opinions and thoughts, his system reacted to something he could not control. This also happened, because Todd is trained in meditation and knows how to interpret and listen to his inner being. Whereas, us, the ordinary human beings of today and the sadly pathetic people, we don’t listen to this “inner being”.

The point is love at first sight is possible – scientifically. I guess what I’m saying is, there’s no reason to give up on love yet – for those who’ve had enough and are going emo. It’s built in our system, in our brains and they will recognize the perfect person for us – if only we’d let it.
