Healing Spirit Wisdom Journal

Excerpted from the book Essential Wisdom (Vol. 1): Guidance for Living the Life You Are Meant.

What is a relationship? For some, a relationship is defined by past experiences; realize experience does not always constitute understanding. For others, a relationship is a habit; it may be time to change your ways. For those who don’t know better, a relationship is a chore–the endless task of projecting and aspiring to unmeetable expectations. Be joyful in knowing a relationship is more glorious than that.

A relationship is a state of connectedness. How you connect with others will not differ greatly from the way you connect with yourself. Like dots you mind will connect to form some pattern an picture in the world. If you share a common vision, a breathtaking picture it will be…

The unconscious lover often seeks to mend the broken relationship with the self through others–it cannot be done this way. If in your search for love you seek really to fulfill your needs, know this: needs change. Seek instead a partner who will help you fulfill yourself. As your needs change, the bond between you will remain unbroken.

…They say love conquers all. But it is not the nature of love to conquer anything. What love does is endure while all else fades away. So never fall in love–rise it it always.

EXERCISE: Pick any ten people you love and give them each something (tangible or intangible) to help them “rise.” (And don’t forget to come back and tellus about it!)
