TRUE RELATIONSHIP

In any kind of relationship the parties concerned are connected so that they are to relate to each other in one way or another. Provided that those who are involved are truly relating to each other, their relationship grows steadily and is ultimately transformed into unconditional love in the light of self-consciousness. Yet in most cases the parties concerned are not truly relating to their counterpart as it is in the here-now but rather to their own personal picture of it. A picture which is built upon subjective memories of the past, prejudices and expectations coloured by unfulfilled personal emotions, thoughts, ideas etc. In other words, all they are relating to is their Ego's idea of the other person and therefore the relationship remains a one-way street. So unless one or both parties involved have moved beyond their Lower Self and are able to view the other, while remaining emotionally/physically/ mentally detached, disappointment, disagreement and misunderstandings are inevitable. In order to truly recognize and relate to your counterpart you have to practise conscious awareness and be willing to withdraw from you Lower Self, let bygones be bygones and leave your personal expectations and wishes concerning the other aside. Only in so doing will you be able to truly recognize yourself in the other. Otherwise you are only seeing your own limited Ego. Moreover, recognition is most vital in a relationship. Unless it is there, relating to someone, or something, else is made impossible because you can only relate to things you recognize and know in some way -or at least are keeping an open mind towards. Therefore, in relating to another party, conscious recognition of the self reflected back at you takes place, which in turn creates the opportunity for personal transformation and growth.

LOVE ME FOR A REASON

The Ego is unconsciously aware that love has the power to bestow immortality. And because its greatest fear is to die, it is instinctively seeking after love. 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.

LOVE LOVE

There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
