I have read and hear how fortune favors the brave, but I truly see this as something that a person is unable to make happen in a usual way of doing things way.
These times are relevant and true to who we are, at varying degrees, and levels or shades, but there is no competitive hierarchy. There is a simple honoring and respecting of each and all, and in that there is freedom. Basking in that without the usual and old forms of self defeat, one may still find oneself hanging on, as if a character in and old Three Stooges, where the sign turns out over the street and the viewer know the characters will eventually fall. So I ask myself the question, "How am I hanging on to a flag pole, like the Stooges ?And I ask also, "What's so bad about falling ?"
Am I like a fully grown elephant, who thinks the tiny rope to the pole is still there ? Perhaps in some ways, yes. But am I not at that moment of judging it, looking at it from a place of expectation, and judgement ? So, the real deal here is being open to the fluid now, as if floating, falling, humming and enjoying just what IS.
For someone like me, who has a very active imagination with an equally active analytical mind, I am happy to be me, and realize it wasn't always this way. I wonder about what happened to the old me, who used to be a part of two marriages and came through that as if it was the parting of the Red Sea. Ummmm....it WAS. I notice there is a desire to be there for persons in situations of partnerships that are evolving. This is a process that many may need a bit of support to feel through the inner changes that occur during the acceleration of our planet, in unity with us, her children. Partnerships are a new breed, a viable and living being created as the unity and in a state of flux forward for the benefit of humanity and the universal changes taking place at this time. It isn't as if we wake up and say, OK, I am a part of this...what next ? ...as if the "what next ?" is separate from who we are. We ARE the "What Next ! " We are the fluid eventualities that are sustaining the bridge from her to there, a place where the matrix of illusions as we know it is non existent. A place where the communities of freedom and cooperation are formed and only in the light waiting to materialize relationally.
Let us each take active and joyous responsibility to understand that the illusion dissolves by love, and nothing else. No amount of lectures or book knowledge can replace the simple essence of truth one gleans by sincere devotion. Therefor, let ourselves be devoted to one another, love one another and be there for one another. NOT, in the co dependent, attached manner of living in the matrix of the past, but by being fully present moment to moment without the trappings of extras that are still vestiges of the conditioned self.
Many couples took the plunge into marriage or couple hood in an unconscious, conditioned state. The motivation was completely from the outer social push, rather than from the higher, devotional love. Add to this, the varying levels of consumeristic tendencies and objectification of partners, and it is a difficult time indeed. The divorce rate tells the story, along with the immense collateral damage of children from the union who will make it, but here we are...needing a better way. By better way, I don't mean to say I think there are so many options that we can pick and chose. What I am seeing is a desperate need for supporting the authentic person in the authentic relationship.
The authentic relationship recognizes the need to unravel the enemy within. Once the beginning steps are taken by both parties, a facilitation of course is very helpful, but only as a support and gentle nudge, with respect for differences.The options are infinite, but must be authentic, and in tat sense there can be only one. For example, I am in tune with my optimal feelings to the extemnt that I can "hear" my being, and follow it inward. The more outer static there is, the less I hear, of myself or anyone else. Feeling clarity, I am able to discern the edges of emotional hardness in others, and be sensitive as a growing being myself to the challenges present for expansion of love.
I had a dream of my father handing me a key and what I make of it is that it is handed to me to open any door, which door it fits as it gets there, being all the doors are open.
