RELATIONSHIP VALUE

The whole area of relationship is a minefield. Juggling the balance of individual and personal progress with the need to accommodate joint schedule and the sacrifices demanded by partnership has never been so tricky. Maybe good relationship is an art form - rather like painting or calligraphy (you need to have the motivation before the patience is possible). Maybe you also need to be indifferent to the long-term consequences and just be totally aware of the pleasure zones and the deeper urges which bring two people together in the first place. After all, what is someone to do when the attraction for another person doesn't fit the remit! Renounce the urge or pursue it? A lot depends on the moral outlook or the cultural pressures! Or does it?

There is always that within the human soul which will not be dictated to, or constrained, and this element - however small - is likely to be most in evidence where human attraction or overwhelming fancy for another is involved. We will refrain from calling it ‘love’ outright for that doesn’t always describe it; to say that all people involved in relationship are engaged in acts of love would be naive in the extreme. (It would be a bit like saying that everyone who prays is saintly). It is more apt to call it the experiencing of strong emotion, which of its nature is often hard to define. This arena for the soul expression with another person that cannot be marginalised or rationalised is a whole private theatre where we often do not know why we are doing what we are doing beyond simply understanding that we need to do it. And it naturally brings us to tricky ground, because in human attraction we cannot know what will be the outcome, or where things will lead. But this precarious and highly unknowable area of the love nature just isn’t going to go away - not as long as there sentient beings on the planet who wish to explore themselves through and with other sentient beings.

Relationship prompts us to explore ourselves, It allows the depth and the grain to show, both good and bad and beautiful and ugly. It is a lottery, and it can never be made to be otherwise. The day we stop and order it all from a menu and know exactly how it will taste and how it will make us feel when we have digested it, is the day we will grow sick of the whole plethora of feelings emotions and human interaction. And it’s not going to happen in our lifetimes! There is nothing new under the sun. The universe recycles, it wastes nothing, though we may now and then seem to do so. But in terms of human experience and attraction we cannot - the rules don’t allow it. The bonding process brings us back and back and back again in various shades and positions to experience, remember and revisit. The soul through the desire nature plays to its own rules and we cannot ever know the full context. If there is one province in which the soul will have its own way it is within human relationship and the consequent development and drama unfolding from it.

People are interacting now like never before - they are experiencing sometimes as many ways to relate to another human being in one year as their ancestors did in multiple lifetimes. Things are speeded up, and the essence or need for the speed is experience. The desire to experience is the one function which really has great meaning. And so we do it - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Sometimes embracing all of those and sometimes selecting among them. But the pull to interaction is often so great that it outweighs all other considerations. It rips through common sense agendas and other forms of conditioning and finds a means of expression at any price. It has its way, and it remains the influence which has perhaps the greatest effect on our overall development.
