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.

Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...

NATURAL SHARING

We are all part of an integrated whole and as such share our unconscious as well as our conscious aspects of self. To be blissfully living with our self and in the world transforms us to channels of love, peace and freedom. Therefore, in being consciously aware of the moment and its beauty we are naturally and effortlessly sharing with everyone that, which is most precious in life - love.
