A drama called ‘love’

Eck­hart Tolle on Relationships:

“True com­mu­ni­ca­tion is com­mu­nion — the real­i­sa­tion of one­ness, which is love. Usu­ally, this is quickly lost again, unless you are able to stay present enough to keep out the mind and its old pat­terns. As soon as the mind and mind iden­ti­fi­ca­tion return, you are no longer your­self but a men­tal images of your­self, and you start play­ing games and roles again to get your ego needs met. You are a human mind again, pre­tend­ing to be a human being, inter­act­ing with another mind, play­ing a drama called ‘love’.”

Eck­hart Tolle — The Power of Now (Page 156)

Does this make sense out of con­text?
