Relationship

What is relationship? What does it mean to exist in relationship? Is relationship self determined? When one defines, one creates concept. That concept is the product of ones accumulated experience. Definition may seem universal (by way of agreement), but what of the practical nuances of actual reality. There are no definitive absolutes, so it is a matter of culture and experience. The psychological application of definition is subjective. Each individual projects his or her own contextual version of definition according to the content of the conscious mind. Thought modifies concept in order to fit circumstance as an extension of the continuity of self. While definition seems universal within a very small window of experience, in the reality of the moment, it is totally without relevancy. The moment requires the new, not the definition of the past, which is the continuity of the old. It is understanding that is fresh, new and without the baggage of opinion and conclusion. Opinion and conclusion represent the concflict of the self. When one applys the old to the new, ones understanding is tainted. It is a modification of the accumulated and conflicted self as projected into the moment.


Relationship is the outcome of the interaction of the projected self with that which exist outside the self. Thought has no control over relationship. The self may try to manipulate relationship to fit needs and to satisfy appetites, but in the end one only creates an atmosphere of fear and insecurity. Relationship mirrors the true self. But in order for one to realize the true self one must be capable of looking without the self. The separated cannot realize the truth of relationship in the moment. It can only project its opinion and conclusion. One must be silently aware, so that one can look without the accumulated self, without that which is conditioned. In that absolute moment thought realizes its own movement, which is a simultaneous dissipation of self, of that which is concluding. Within the moment of this realization is understanding of truth. Seeing directly without the movement of self. One realizes truth that is not a movement of time.


Relationship is an intelligence that operates outside the influence of the self absorbed. Relationship always tells the truth. It tells us what we are and where we a going. If one has the capacity to observe then one can see truth in all that is. The inanimate as well as the sentient. Because we exist in relationship to all that is, to the oneness of existence, it is possible to observe truth in the moment. The truth of what one actually is. The realization of this truth is the dissipation of self, of the observer. When there is absence of that which is separated there is no imprint of self on the moment. There is no reflection of the conflict of that which is seeking the continuity of accumulation. Then relationship is not the result of cause and effect. It is the moment to moment illumination of understanding that transcends self. One lives in relationship that is without a trace of self, of that which is concluding.

One must have the realization that relationship is not an activity of the one and the many. It is the whole field of existence that mirrors the mirror. It is oneness that is the cessation of all division. It is the transcended consciousness of that which is timeless.
