The Mysteries of Relationships (or, why didn’t it last DAMMIT?!?)

Why Don't Relationships Last

We come together to share, to find those lost parts of ourselves, to give new, activating experiences to others. Being one consciousness, split apart into 6 billion pieces, there is much we can rem-ember. Different people come into our lives to remind us of our truth.

The poem ‘Reason, Season, Lifetime’ as below, outlines this life experience well.

It’s a wonder, how our expectations assist us. Expecting the ‘magical one’ to come along into our life often involves us seeing that person as ideal. But who of us here have that kind of integrity that we wish for in another?

It would be honest to say that the person most of us would ‘love’ in our lives much be a pretty special soul. Probably, the closest thing to god-in-a-person that we can realize.

The truth, i believe, is much more down-to-earth.

We come together to complete each other, momentarily. The parts of ourselves we are yearning for, we see in another. We glow and bathe in the rich light of love, in the gratitude of feeling ‘completeness’. One we are grounded, and quite familiar with this energy, once we have integrated it, and draw it inside us to where it has become us, the person who originally brought that experience to us may leave.

They have served their purpose.

And it hurts…

We feel a depth inside, a deep loss. We work hard to re-build that loss, doing the things we need to do, feeling the things we need to feel, and grieving for that which we feel we have lost.

And this loss, this giving up, this letting go is magical.

For in this time we are truly open, without expectations or an mental agenda. We’re pure channels for the god force of life that permeates our every cell.

And we change. We grow. We ‘fill-up’ the space that has been created. Our branches reach out, with every single inch of their being, pushing up further, and further, into the sky.

One day we wake up, and we no-longer MISS that person. We not longer NEED them. We feel greatful for having shared such beautiful times together.

Imagine a cell splitting, imagine how that would feel to a cell. To split apart, making a copy of yourself, merging outward with your copy, giving all your energy to it… watching it drift off, seal it’s boundary wall, and say goodbye. Hurting, but knowing, that that part of you, will now travel off to become part of the greater whole, to do the same thing again and again, over and over, to infinity.

Life truly is amazing.

A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON . . . It is
usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have
come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you
with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason
you need them to be.

Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realise is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you
sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
