SILENT RELATIONSHIP

It is a generally held belief, that to be in a relationship with someone is to be talking to and seeing the person in question at regular intervals. However there is a way to relate to another being which does not require any words nor physical meetings. This kind of silent or "absent" relationship allows much more space for truly relating to another person because you are free to commune from heart to heart without the possible interference of words and personalities which may be at odds. This is not to say that physically and verbally relating to another person does not count as relationship or is to be avoided. But it is wise to bear in mind, that without the "silent" aspect of love existing invisibly underneath it, it is worthless.
Relationships are created by corresponding resonances and in a way everyone of us is  in relationship with the whole of the Universe. However the relationships which are of particular value in the course of ones individual development are those which are felt the strongest and closest to the heart.
The level of the heart is related to the Soul. So ones parents are two of the closest relatives because the resonance of their joint Souls created the appropriate resonance for your Soul to incarnate on earth. Hence, to be at peace with your parents from the depths of your heart is vitally important for the progress of your Soul.
