THOUGHTS ON RELATION-SHIPS, 2nd part

The initial desire for a partner should not arise from a feeling of a personal lack of love, but rather from the feeling, that you are carrying so much love and joy within your-self, that you feel the need to share it with somebody else. The first motive for seeking a partner, that is if your search should prove succesfull, will most probably end in a one-sided or mutal disillusionment/frustration, whereas the second will effect a shared sensation of love doubled or even mulitiplied in strength.
The same applies to the motivation behind wanting to maintain a current relation-ship. Are you clinging on to your partner because you are afraid to be on your own/need someone to make you feel accepted and loved/to listen to your complaints etc? Or is it rather because you love the way you can both be with each other without having to dissemble your-selves, and this is making your mutual love and respect for the other grow even further? The first has a hindering effect in your everyday life, the second an up-lifting one.

However, for as long as the Ego is clinging to the reasons for why it is believing itself to be loved, death remains imminently close and fear remains the dark shadow of the love it is experiencing. Only when the reason for feeling loved is an all-encompassing, unconditional love that is being felt inside your own self, does love make you immortal. Of course, your Ego is still going to die its timely death but because you have released your fears death changes from a threat into a promise.
