Relationships.

Whether you are single or in relationship, it is seen that ultimately there is no difference between the two. It is the same love, no different, just a different expression in the appearance of it. They are the same at source.

In truth, you see that no relationship actually exists in the timeless, (that which is prior to time and space), because it’s clear there is nobody to have a relationship with; just beingness, that’s all there is, but here in form as man or woman, in the living of life in time, there certainly is a fascinating and wonderful appearance and expression of relationship. A wonderful dance of the masculine and feminine; which is meant to be thoroughly enjoyed.

Relationship  triggers up everything that  appears to have become separated out from love, from the source of all. It is a fire that brings maturity, if one is willing to get very real and honest with each other. That is real love.

Being single is purposeful also, as it triggers up other aspects. Both have their place and their time.

“Love brings everything up”. …..as it must!

This article is not just about the recognition of ones true nature , but it is about the actual practical day to day living in the world of form as man and woman.

Not only are we the space in which everything arises, we are also here as human beings and as either male or female expressions of humanity.

This is something, I, here as the female form am still investigating , and what is being discovered now is a natural outflowing of compassion for the little human beings that are trying to do their best.

One needs only to be willing. It only takes the love of a good man and the love of a good woman, who are both willing and where both feel safe to express their feelings and be treated with kindness wherever possible.

Children actually love it when they see and feel their parents love for Truth and they thrive in a family where the parents are prioritizing the relationship as they feel secure and loved and lovable, when they see their parents enjoying spending time together and truly loving each other like this. This is because they see themselves as extensions of their parents and thus their parents love.
It’s a beautiful role model for love on the planet. It doesn’t negate a parents love of their children at all by prioritizing the relationship with your partner, infact the love flowers even more for the entire family. It is a gift for all when two people are willing to love each other like this. Male and female polarities in harmony, is a powerful and potent elixer of life.

This is not about falling in love, as wonderful as that may be, and we all love falling in love, it is wonderful. this article is more about growing into love with each other, because what falls in love, also falls out, as we’ve all experienced, and that’s ok too, because that’s when real love has a chance to blossom.  This is rather about ‘being in love, the flaws and all, the actual reality of what loving really is. It’s  about ’maturing in love’ with each other. Love brings the opposites of life together , the only two polarities on this earth are either male or female.  Thus there can’t help but be some friction, some conflict in bringing these two opposites  together. It’s like mating two completely different species! That’s the challenge.

Male and female however, are obviously made for each other and at the same time trigger up anything that gets in the way of them being together fully in harmony as one.

I’m only speaking of heterosexual relationship here. This does not discount in any way, same sex relationship, where one may be more masculine and one more feminine.  All has its place and all is well.

So for our purposes lets just stick with the male / female polarity overall.

Bringing these two polarities together is never straight forward, there are many twists and turns on the journey of relationship and relating.

Yet there are times in any relationship when these two come into harmony, as one, with each other. It is  challenging yet ultimately enjoyable. The ultimate paradox of life has come together! That’s why human love is a beautiful thing. It unites the conscious male/female polarity on the planet. There is nothing wrong with personal human love between two people but if you personalise the love, then you will suffer if one leaves. Here the personal and impersonal come together , loving personally without personalising your love. Love or life will bring you together and life will part you when the time comes.

This is one way in which love embodies and activates fully on the planet through the love of the male and female and especially through making love, rather than just having sex. Sex is a momentary satisfaction, which is fine, whereas making love reaches into the actual depths of love. Embodying love on the planet is potently made through the male and female making love and looks as if it is part of humankinds evolution on Earth. It’s loving the counterpart of your self!?

Relationship is a wild and beautiful beast, slowly being tamed by loves sweet caress. We never know how long we have with each other,  2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years or 20 years, but what ever love brings up, triggers up, it is purposeful in the life. It is only what is appearing as unlove requiring the light of loving awareness to bring it home.

If the relationship has served its purpose, and the two have gone as far as they can go with the capacity they have then it can be lovingly surrendered back to love and life itself.

Honesty is love. A true and real relationship will challenge each other from time to time. Then all can be seen, see it as love/life’/God doing it for you.

Old patterns and reactions get triggered up in relationship from our childhood, our genetic patterning and cultural conditioning. That is understandable. It is maturing the humaness in us all. What is required is just an acceptance of these aspects, just as they are. Nothing can be different until it is. Everything is the way it is, simply because it is. It’s no ones fault.

This doesn’t mean you stay in a bad relationship. If the relationship is harmful, dishonest, unloving or toxic, there may be a movement in you to leave. You will leave when you leave and not until you do. It will all get done. Life  will unfold it, it’s Gods life and perhaps all you can do is ask ‘life itself as life itself ‘ for clarity as it all unfolds and see what life is wanting to be seen.

All you need do is bring the spaciousness of you, the conscious awareness to you, to yourself, to whatever is arising. Be still, quiet and tender with oneself and just notice that you are alive, that there is a sensation in the body of some energy of movement which is an old emotional reaction. No need to interpret or psychoanalyse it. It’s only old pain , requiring release, that’s all. Nothing wrong with pain. Be easy with it. This is easily done with your soft and quiet attention. It will, with your unmoving gentle gaze dissolve.

It’s simply bringing light to that which has momentarily forgotten it is consciousness itself. That’s all.

Therapy/counselling can all be helpful to a point, and help you to be more honest and to support acceptance of feelings just as they are and  therapies true purpose is to free you.

Having been a Counsellor for some years now I see therapy can certainly improve upon ones personality etc and make ones relationships and life somewhat easier. It has it’s place , but ultimately  only you as life  can take you to you and you have no control over that! The paradox once again. Once you have tasted your true self or true nature there is an ‘ease of being’ that wells up in the life, in your relationships with others and with all situations, no matter how challenging. It is a ground of peace and ‘well being’ that is palpably sensed behind all thoughts and emotions or reactions etc. What is  noticed is they get less and less charged, until they have little or no charge left, or they erupt and are gone as quickly as they came with no residue. They simply wash through, because  any belief in them has gone or is dissipating.

This is why relationship is purposeful because it is one of the most challenging human experiences , because it does naturally mature us in a way that only love can do.  There is a fear of growing up and maturing, it’s okay, it’s part of the psyche of the times, this only needs to be seen and accepted and all the transformations come from there.

Simply be willing to love and see what happens. Be willing to come forward to each other and see what unfolds.
Ask ; “What would love do?”

Your partner will do what they do, say what they do, react how they do. You can’t do anything about it, all you can do is be honest with your self and be honest with whatever is arising in you. Keep the attention, the awareness on you, NOT ON THEM, keep it on you and everything will unfold from there beautifully. We are not separate from each other so what is done and undone in you is reflected in your relationship with your partner, sometimes immediately. It is very surprising. Sometimes you will speak a frustration/ a feeling or concern out to them if need be, and that is right and sometimes there is no need to say anything, as you stay with you. Simply stay honest with oneself as to what is arising. Otherwise the relationship will struggle to  mature or flower.

This is the responsibilty or vigilance required to see the moment of choice within the choiceless arising of everything.

The only choice you actually have is to see in any moment what is choicelessly arising and to bring the space of who you are tenderly and gently to the emotion or old reactive pattern.

Allow yourself to not know and in this ‘not knowing’ a space opens up to the openness that is already fully here, fully alive and then true intelligence, true inspiration unfolds. Wait in this space until you see what to do , then act from here.

“Wait and see” as Papaji used to say.

Often people have a need scenario going on for relationship. A longing and a fear of relationship. When this dissolves what is left is a natural openness, a natural inclination towards relating as man and woman without personalizing it or being attached to it. The need and the resistance to relationship dissolves. What is left is compassion for the two human beings endeavouring to be with each other and a capacity to truly love.

You see that love brings everything home.

Ego and Source: You are both.

Nothing is excluded here.

What’s the problem with Ego ?  ….. Absolutely Nothing!

Ego is only a case of mistaken Identity. It’s almost like we need this mistake to see who we really are. What a wonderfully divine mistake then!
The medicine is always in the apparent problem!
Ego identifies with what comes and goes, with what arises, and is impermanent;  …….     rather than identifying with what is, what is permanent, that which doesn’t come and go and is always here.

There is nothing wrong with Ego, there is no need to kill it or for it to die. Ego Identity is only a movement in consciousness. It is consciousness itself identifying with whatever appears in consciousness. You can’t kill consciousness!
It only forgets it’s own permanent nature and instead focuses the attention on the comings and goings, which are illusory, because they don’t last, and so what is created is an illusory or false identity, a story  of self and so the separate self is created and identified with, rather than with the ‘Source ‘of who you are.

Oneness loves separation, it’s only separation that has a problem with separation!

TURN YOUR  ATTENTION TO THE SOURCE: TO YOU, THE FEELING OF YOU , Turn to the feeling or sensation of ALIVENESS in the body . …..  and  Keep doing that. You will feel the awake aliveness within. The body is a beautiful doorway to see who you are, within and beyond the body or egoic mind.

Leave Ego alone , Give poor little ego a break will you, it’s okay. When ego is not okay then you have a problem. Just don’t touch it.

Simply turn your attention to yourself, turn awareness to awareness itself, turn back in on yourself and see what is here.

It’s like, prior to the ‘Big Bang’ there is Nothing or Source and then there is the ‘Big Bang’ and the entire cosmos was created and unfolded and space/time was created. However as the’ Big Bang’ theorists suggest; at some point it  all collapses and fold back in on itself.

Therefore simply allow the attention to fold back in on itself.

When you see there is only the One Self in Truth, then Self is the Source of everything, and … wait for it ….that includes its own suffering! However this is only as a result of mis-identification with the ego or a belief in the personality or life story, as being who you are.

When one sees this, ego doesn’t have to disappear in the living of life, it still functions as a personality, but now it is just seen for what it is, mistaken identity. There is no more belief that ego is who you are. That belief vanishes or drops away in the life. Ego just simply functions with all its flaws and contractions. Actually ego is kind of cute when seen in this way, it’s innocent too and is just trying to do it’s best and so a true compassion arises for it. This is the compassion for the frailty of the human condition. Poor little ego, leave it alone, it’s really innocent and thinks it’s doing the right thing to protect you. Once you see no protection is necessary ego relaxes, then ego dissolves of it’s own accord. It wants to relax and return back home too.

In this clarity one sees  there is now nothing wrong with ego. It doesn’t need to be fixed or improved upon or to disappear or die, it is just seen as an aspect of consciousness and so is accepted, embraced and can be naturally absorbed . In fact you can actually relax and just enjoy the play of ego. You can even get caught up in it for awhile but it doesn’t matter, enjoy being caught up,  because ultimately it’s seeing it’s not you, caught up in it for a moment or not. It will get naturally absorbed back into and by the Consciousness that you are.

You simply keep bringing the attention to what is unmoving, permanent and unchanging and you will see this.
This is why there is nothing wrong with re identification, it’s part of it all, it’s an opportunity and a continual process of seeing our true nature freshly.
Non identification or Oneness has no problem with Identification, Re identification or separation, it’s only separation that has the problem with itself!

Once you see directly that you are prior to time and space, then when time and space appear to come back in, it is all seen to be within you.  This is a surprising yet obvious discovery.

All of it is you and none of it is you. The living of this in ones ordinary life is to keep seeing this freshly in any instant. This is the only difference between seeing and not seeing. At one point you thought you were appearing in space, then you see that actually everything is within you, everything appears in the spaciousness of who you are.

Bring your attention back to yourself, and notice that you are here and you are alive and that you simply exist.
It’s that simple!

Bring the attention to what you are, to it’s own Source!
The Source of everything.  This is you; you are unchanging permanent awareness.
Then all old reactive and energetic patterns are seen, all neurosis and psychosis are seen, they are just movements in consciousness, so stay with , present awareness or presence……… then all ideas, beliefs, thoughts and feelings of non love will arise, they have to. But when they are seen in this … presence,…….then they are seen to be love themselves. It’s a beautiful discovery for you to see and not for you to believe, but to directly experience this for your self.

By the way don’t believe a word of what  I’m saying, see for yourself, it’s the only way.

Anyone who said it was hard was lying, it’s so easy , so simple, it’s only a belief that you can’t see it and you are not a belief.

When you look for you, you see in one moment, in one instant a body mind appearing in awareness, but no actual you, you see in this quiet stillness that nobody is actually there, just pure awareness, just pure open spaciousness, no inner or outer, and this is love!
love is nothing, nothing to speak of.
Just pure awareness and experience without the false experiencer. This is what is seen when ego is left alone and you return to yourself.

So nothing wrong with Identification , because now you  just see through it, you no longer have a belief that it’s you, so now you can just be an ordinary human being, neurosis, psychosis, habitual patterns, flaws and all! You can even enjoy them!

Hallelujah!
You are innocent, it’s all just conditioning, patterning and genetics, of which you have no choice or control over.
They will all be absorbed in lifes own way.
Just rest as your self no matter how that looks, nor what anybody else thinks.
Right here , right now is enough, it is more than enough.
If you go to the past or future or try to become it will never be enough.
Look to what is here.
What is here is simply hereness.
Just Hereness!

I am here. Say this constantly to yourself and see how it brings you back to you, back home.

Any belief is suffering,  and you will suffer if you believe ego is who you are. When you see that you are not ego , then ego can simply function without a belief that it is you anymore. It’s just ego.
When you are unmoving and still, in the very centre of any emotion, it, collapses back in on itself and into the centreless nothing of being, …..of love.

“I Am Life Itself”

At first glance it may appear to be an arrogant statement, but in fact it is exactly the opposite!
We are THAT, which consciousness is and we are that, that is appearing in awareness or consciousness; therefore we are everything and nothing. We are no thing in truth, and we are the spacious, still and silent ‘beingness’, which is prior to all and we are all that is appearing in creation. Now this may appear far-fetched and you may be thinking; “sorry, but I just don’t get it.”
That’s why it’s important, to read this from your heart or while feeling into your whole body, as it’s only realized within, so gently feel into the essence of you, the still being, because that’s where all the life is.
We are the vastness of life and we are the tender little human being. When you recognize this reality, a sweet humility enters your existence, and then you can soften into being human or being humane, which is our natural state.
When you clearly see through the illusion of a separate self you realize that you are Life Itself. It is so obvious and so simple and you can’t fathom how you could have missed it before.
It was always like this, it was never not this way. You are the permanent, eternal, unchanging, unmoving awareness or ‘beingness’. You realize that you have never been born nor ever died, because you recognize that none of it has ever happened and you have never experienced anything nor been touched by anything. You are the ever present untouched and unmoving radiant light of life itself.
This direct discovery or recognition changes everything internally yet with no apparent change on the outside…. just an ordinary human being. In fact more ordinary as there is no need to become someone anymore, so you relax as yourself, which allows you to simply abide as ‘That’, as life itself.
This is true freedom, this relaxation back into yourself, back into the life you are.

When you see, that in truth, you are not a person, not a somebody, in fact you are nobody , it is completely liberating, because then you can simply drop into just being a human being with all that, that entails. Then a true humility for life, as life, is birthed within you.
This revelation just happens by itself and there is no rhyme or reason why. Nobody really knows how or why it happens, it just happens and there is this knowing in the unknown, where all questions get dissolved, as all concepts and previously held beliefs and ideas about life get blown apart and absorbed back to source and everything that came before, dies.
It’s a total negation of everything in one sense. There is no belief in anything anymore because there is no need for belief, even if belief still pops up. What is left is a clear and simple understanding that you are the miracle of life, but you have no idea what that is and you just find yourself in love with the mystery of it all.
You see this is not your life, but Gods life, Life’s life and everybody is this, is life Itself. This doesn’t bestow any specialness on you or anybody else, it is beyond all concepts of special and not special, it just is. There is no difference between anyone, whereas before, you honestly thought there was a difference!

The only difference between one who sees and one who apparently hasn’t yet seen, (because it’s only an appearance or belief of not seeing, so to say it, isn’t really true) is that the one who sees, clearly and profoundly knows that there is no difference between the two at all, not even in the seeing! Not a skerrick of difference.
You also comprehend there was nothing that you could have done differently than what you did, and nothing could have been any different than the way it was. What unfolds in the life is an acceptance of reality as it is. You realize every experience was the right experience, because it is the one you are having. Everything is for life, everything unravels.
You appreciate that it wasn’t really you doing any of it anyway, you were never truly in charge or in control, it just appears that way and it’s all just being done, just happening and so now instead of trying to change or fix yourself and all your apparent neurosis, you see they are all okay and that there is nothing wrong with you at all, nor with anybody else. Then an authentic responsibility can arise as you respond from a fresh yet ever present intelligence.
Neurosis, psychosis, patterns, habits, idiosyncrasies’, personality and conditioning are all welcome and all okay, and then they can rest No need for them to drop or fall away. If they do they do and if they don’t they don’t. They can even drop and come back again!
Don’t you just love that?! …….. it’s so refreshing!
So just rest, back into yourself.
Relax, all is well.
Pain, sadness, hurt, anger, old reactive patterns, resistance, they can all be there. You no longer need to get rid of them, (which paradoxically is non-resistance) how could you when you see they are you and not you at the same time, (the paradox or duality comes together) but rather just an expression of consciousness, a contraction or an unconscious aspect of consciousness itself, asking to be met and to come home in who you are. To be embraced and felt fully through the vessel of your beautiful body, because these bodies are spacious and full and alive with love.
You see everything has its place and everything is okay just as it is even when you are sad and crying, or when you are raging and angry, or when you are laughing and happy, they all come and go and who you are is at peace behind them all, because they are just playing out their part, they are impermanent, but who you are is the eternal reality, the permanent unchanging ground of being, so now you don’t really believe in them anymore and so how can you take them seriously?
You are prior to everything and everything is just appearing in you. It is not you appearing in creation but creation appearing in you! This is the radical understanding or shift of perspective that occurs.
As Jesus said “I am the Father and the Father is in me”. Suddenly this statement is clearly and profoundly understood. We could also say “I am the world and the world is in me”
However let’s not get ahead of ourselves, because really it is just the beginning, as there is a minor detail we haven’t discussed yet, which is…….. the actual living of that clarity in the normal life, as one stays vigilant to the awareness that is ever present, no matter how difficult or challenging the external circumstances may appear in the life or whatever arises in the life.
Living still brings challenges, it’s just they are met now with a grace and ease of being, because this radical understanding of reality permeates the life as it is being lived. The conscious intelligence informs the life more and more as we are drawn to be more available to it, as it.
It’s an internal seeing yet with no apparent change on the outside, just a very ordinary human being with an obvious yet profound seeing, within the life. ….. and it’s got nothing to do with you!
You fall in love with the ordinariness, it’s astonishingly beautiful!
No need to become someone or be somebody anymore when you see the no-one behind the apparent little someone. This is freedom.

So living still brings pain and sadness and hurt etc, it has to, life, which is love, triggers them up, as all old patterns have to arise and are seen through. They just pass through smoothly now as they are allowed their complete expression, and permitted to move through the system, as a wave does on the ocean when it has reached its fullness, then collapses in on itself and back into the depths. This is the same with all emotions. When they are accepted and allowed to be met fully by the neutral awareness that you are, they dissolve back into the nothing they came from and you sense the ever present groundless ground of being, the stillness at the core of all apparent emotions. You collapse again and again and again into the peace that is the ocean of consciousness. This is the sacred being realized, this is the divinity within. This is the well of being, or the great well-being that we feel.
It is a raw and tender life that is able to be lived, where all can return home without getting stuck or sticking anymore in this open and ample release. It is dissolution and negation, as all that was created gets uncreated in the unmoving stillness of being truly held by you, by awareness, this is loving kindness or compassion.

This doesn’t free you from anything it just allows you the wonderful freedom to be with everything, to be everything. It liberates you into just being yourself, because you can’t be anything else!
True freedom is when you no longer need to be free of anything.
There is no escape anymore nor would you want to escape any painful emotions when you see how the rawness of the pain, met with gentle awareness, reveals the utter peace and the magic or miracle of life. Hence pain can be here without any suffering in the pain, because suffering is only a story about the pain, or thoughts and ideas about the pain, rather than just being with the pure and unmediated visceral sensation in the body of pain itself. It’s just pain. Let it be, no need to pick it up or touch it, or tell stories about it. It’s not you, and yet it’s not separate from you either.
This recognition of Oneness doesn’t make every negative thing go away and keeps only the positive, which is a myth. It’s just that positive or negative become irrelevant. Both are embraced and are welcome, everything has its place.
You just live this life as it is, with a profound sensing that life is living you anyway and you just let it play ‘itself’ out as it all unravels and unwinds. What unfolds in the life is a simple yet radical acceptance of reality.

It truly is a sweet and vulnerable existence that is lived when you allow it. Then pain is no longer problematic. You don’t identify with it, because you sense deeply your true identity and are continuously drawn to ‘That’, like the moth is drawn to the flame and consumed, until all that remains, is the flame.
Now it is just pure sadness, simple pain or rather an energetic sensation passing through the system. When one can be with the unprotected, unmediated, rawness of pain then there is no suffering, anguish or melancholy, just a wonderful buoyancy and a natural softening in the life, same person, no different, just a little softer around the edges perhaps!
