A reflection on relationships.

As life on this earth plane, we are all little pieces of source, mixing, melding, interacting. We feel connection, kindred relating, we feel a spark, something more than we’ve known before. We feel alive, happier, more connected. It’s our desired effect. A desire to be connected in this way to ourselves and towards others. If the feeling is an adverse one, a struggle to connect, a not so desirable emotion, we can often find ourselves avoiding how we feel, avoiding what it means as a piece of our own world within. We often judge that undesirable as something ‘wrong’, something ‘not’ as we want and believe the world to be. The moment we avoid, try to fit this into a moulded form, closed form, we miss vital links, that life in us in this way is trying to open us as.

Every relationship is a teacher.

Every relationship you are involved in is revealing you to yourself. Each of us, are a piece of each other. What you see in another is the very thing seeking you to see yourself in whatever form it’s revealing.

Each of us hold memories of each other over thousands of lifetimes, memories that relate to everything we have been, experienced both alone and together.

When you realize and remember through life around you, what you truly are beyond all ideas your mind decides, beyond all judgements and labels each piece of life is being, you accept yourself and others as they are. When you entertain the external as ‘making you feel’ this way, you’ll lose yourself and that little piece of you seeking you.

The joy of being you arises as a natural spontaneous affect. It doesn’t need or desire ‘something’ to make it happy and content. This joy is you. This state is your true self.

We are all longing, needing and desiring our own wholeness. We are blindly unaware at times what we project into each other. We fill this void and lack in so many ways. We use each other, we use life in every way to come to know ourselves. When we cannot see that all life is a reflection, a piece of ourselves, an important and valuable teacher, to shine what that life is and represents as ourselves, we project that lack we feel, that aspect of ourselves we avoid and make it be what we need and desire. We want, we mould, we attach..

The true self is grounded in itself, connected to itself, connected to life without need or desire that becomes an unhealthy attachment.

Spontaneous joy arises, the feeling of your own connection naturally moves you through life without taking away, destroying or projecting in unhealthy ways. The value of your own life feels the value of all life. You understand deeply the sacredness and reverence, within life and within yourself.

Our personal responsibility to ourselves grounded deeply as our true essence, will continue to reveal itself through all life until we see and feel connected.

Nothing or no one can bring this home, but you. Every piece of life will help you remember. Support you to see you are the source of all life as you see it. Support and open you to remember.

‘Remembering’ is remembering who you are and why your here. Remembering is always being reminded through all life, where we fit and see ourselves. How we feel and do not want to feel. How intimate we truly are towards ourselves.

How you reflect each day in the face of all life as it is, is a gift to know yourself. Is the gift all life grants you.

Through this knowing and wisdom, you neither desire or need what you come to know you are. You live authentically and rest in this knowing, this place of joy and create a life that reflects what you’ve become.

So by looking not at others, as your source of pain, struggles or love, not at others as something that makes you feel good or bad, miserable or elated. Not at others as something that you desire or need, but look at yourself and see what you already are.

Remember what you’ve forgotten, because this life and all lives, made you believe you were something else.
