Relationship, actually means “to expand through exchange”. Later it was used as a way to create a more stable survival by marrying daughters to older men who were well off to provide a union through relationship between families. A quinceanera or coming out ball, was to show the daughter in order to open bidding. Our ideas of romance come from Roman perspectives on the beauty of the world but also encompasses the basis of slavery or ownership, not the origin of “relationship” which is about expansion and is constant and necessary.
All relationships help us see something beyond ourselves. They cause us to expand. We are always looking for a new relatedness so we can expand internally and feel free. Every relationship is born from a need of our own selves. You might ask, “What do I need to learn from this relationship? For what purpose? Am I looking for a relationship to fill some voids within me? Or am I looking for a relationship to expand myself?” Until we understand what we need from the relationship, it repeats.
To ask these questions of myself, and actually hear an honest authentic response requires my humility. I must be willing to be vulnerable to whatever that truth is. But to do so is a clear act of true self care, respect, and an investment into really being present with ourselves.
What do we believe? Beliefs are tools to let us know who we are inside, now. In order to know the deepest parts of who we are, we need to go back to all the records of the heart, and our beliefs are the path or the map to who we are at our core. We can use beliefs and track them to be aware of what we feel, not get rid of them. Our awareness of our beliefs can be used for our personal evolution. The vibration of our own voice will help bring that consciousness to us. So speak your truth or sing it!
These days are seeming to move faster and quicker everyday. I am reminded about the term “the speed of light” and how there is more light coming into this plane than ever before. I’ve decided to give up my attachments to how things “should be” or even how I want them to be (I’m still working on that one), but instead see these times as an invitation to surf! There comes a point in the rising waters when walking just doesn’t work, and we adapt to a better means of travel. I find that I also need to respond to the inner voices, from my previous beliefs; that tell me it’s too much, or I can’t do it. Instead of shutting that voice down, I respond with “Let’s see. Maybe we can!”
Maybe now, in this place and time, we can do more than ever before. Let’s just relax into it, and see how it unfolds.” I do believe there is a bigger plan, a higher power, a Source of energy and life force. I choose to allow that energy into my life, here and now.
Are you willing to receive support, love, and divine blessings? I am!
