Be Your Own Light

Watching the snowflakes fall in the early morning, added to the extraordinary silence. The light glow of the pre-dawn and distant stars, which had not been covered by the snow clouds, enhanced the feeling.

How do we relate to others on this planet of ours? Do we judge others by what we see and hear, or do we relate through feeling for the truth? I ask these questions because so many relate through visual and sound only, forming judgments and opinions based upon their conditioning, therefore they are not really relating at all.

Within each human being is a male, female and neutral element. The male energy expands and repels, whilst the female contracts and attracts and the neutral remains passive, yet it can be affected by the extremes of the male and female. Judgments are mind related and feelings are whole body or heart related, so to truly relate requires no thought.

This world is divided by human thought, by individual conditioning, religion, creed, colour of skin, language, etc. We all think in language and this is a taught to us from a very young age and learning through vocal expression continues until the day we die, yet very few people stop and question its roots. If there were no language, how would we live?

Is it possible to relate without thought? If not, then there is no true relationship. Many people choose a partner based upon looks and personality and rarely upon non-distorted feelings, which brings us back to the fact that each individual is inwardly both male and female and it is these two that are at war. This reflects in the state of the external relationship. The issues you have with your partner are the very issues you have with yourself.

If the mind was free we would naturally attract the right partner to us and vice versa. This is because the cells emit a frequency and attract a similar frequency to it, so they gather together. If you are emitting a balanced energy you should attract a balanced energy into your life. The same principle of like attracts like, also applies also to distorted energy.

If you list your ideal traits of the perfect partner, then these are based upon desire and desire will bring about your suffering. If your list describes traits that you already have, then you can share with the partner that you attract, but if you lack the traits that you desire in your partner, then the relationship will bring you various acts of drama. You will want that person to fulfil the lack within you and this creates an element of parasitic behaviour, which is not love, it is deceit. Be the supplier of your own needs and your own light, only then can you truly share and have a relationship with another.

The dawn has broken and the snow is thick upon the ground. It sits perfectly upon the branches of the apple tree where a blackbird chirps loudly as it knocks the snow off a rare remaining apple. It must be time for breakfast.
