Question, Naked mystic, How can my girlfriend and I just enjoy each other?<\/p>\n

The world seems to want each us to be happy and the happiness comes from possessions. We are told that we can meet the one, they are out there somewhere, a perfect \u00a0match. Now each of us knows many couples who are very happy, but individually they feel incomplete and so their relationships seem to based on the Jerry Mcguire syndrome, \u201cYou complete me.\u201d \u00a0Unconditional love is sharing, caring, patient, and filled laughter, but within that is the recognition that both parties are whole and complete as they are.<\/p>\n

I feel like the one we are searching for is ourselves. We have been looking for ourself out there and forgot that the work, effort is here with ourselves. \u00a0If we are frightened of the work here, we project, try to change, fix, blame the other person for not being whole, and yet all the things we are speaking about them, is really something not looked at within. \u00a0I know it sounds weird and in fact when my teachers tried to explain this logic, I became dismissal, and laughed out loud, but soon you will discover that if you are really connected to being whole in yourself, then the communication and sharing is different. You really begin to live a life from appreciation. Appreciation comes from knowing your own wholeness. \u00a0Whether you find the wholeness you connected to nature, universe, God, Allah, etc\u2026but we all are searching for a connection to the whole and then once we find it we understand beyond the intellect our wholeness. That is why this path is less taken. \u00a0People want a quickie if you will, a quick fix to wholeness. But once you understand your wholeness, that has a huge responsibility that comes with it. \u00a0So it takes time for the faith to build in the ultimate reality, and that is okay.<\/p>\n

If I have found freedom within, then in a relationship I don\u2019t need, expect, or demand for you to change, I enjoy you now. \u00a0I enjoy you as you are. \u00a0I am patient, caring, understanding, and laugh tons. \u00a0Two whole people just enjoying without limits, without intervention, without you needing anything or needing me to change, just enjoying. \u00a0When you are gone I enjoy this life, when we are together we enjoy our company. An ebb and flow. \u00a0No more nonsense. \u00a0If in fact you are going through something, we both acknowledge that I can be there for you and listen, but we both understand that you are going through the experience and it is part of your journey. \u00a0 And because of that, we understand that it is not to be put on the other, and criticize; in fact the opposite, we give each other space, and love, and pray for wisdom, because we see that our relationship is the relationship of wholeness and so the Holy spirit brought us together. \u00a0Your intellect will never understand this. \u00a0Healing is patient.<\/p>\n

Each of us is currently making a transition from the mind to the heart. We are being asked now, to be with everything that is coming up within us that doesn\u2019t serve us anymore. \u00a0No more dating hundreds of people to escape ourself, no more sleeping around, no more dumping your life on others to fix, no more blame, criticizing, or relationship after relationship; just whole people living in harmony with each other. \u00a0Appreciate yourself as the song of the soul.<\/p>\n
