RELATIONSHIPS: A Universal Dance With Love

 By Nougye Mutungi Mukoma

It is no mistake that you and I are here within this universe. As you read this, you and I present this as factual reality. It is a realization that forever transforms your perception and unlocks a whole new dimension to your understanding of reality. So, may you take heed of this, and give it the gratitude it deserves.

Our first relationship, and might I say the most important one, is that which we have with the creation. It is a relationship that is so tuned in alignment that it is as a cosmic symphony. You might not realize it in this human form, but even before two human beings came together to bring you forth, you were the microcosm of the macrocosm, ready to take shape and form within this reality.

And as you came forth, more relationships emerged… relationships with the womb of your mother and the sounds of the internal and external world. And from this further, emerged your meeting and interacting with this world through your first breath of life’s air, outside the amniotic fluid of your earthly mother.

All this encompasses a relationship, given freely, taking freely, but nevertheless, interacting through your universe.

Relationship And Love

I deserve… in love. Of the best qualities of love, this is the one that is reflected through the mirror of a healed body, mind, and soul. In this realm of interaction, a dance of two is generated, through the learning and understanding of each others’ differences, likeness, and forgiveness. An interaction based on letting go, give and take, attention, and compromise.

While we might think that love is selfless, it is NOT. At least human love that is. After all, human love is deeply masked by conditions of selfish love. Most people today have had their fair share of experience in this regard, I think.

However, love done in the right way and in the right type of ego control can lead to something magnificent. When one is able to balance self-love and understanding, one is also able to mirror such love to another. This love is not accepting of lower standards of self-appreciation and it can selflessly share with another, who as well, is willing to entangle with this dance.

On the other hand, love that is unnurtured within the self is free to attract lower standards and that which is unwilling to foster self-care. Such love results in frustration, disillusion, pain, dissatisfaction, and disappointment. It leaves often the question, “Am I good enough?”

This question has troubled countless people. But what it should do is provoke introspection of self for healing and to understand the inner workings of pain so that you can bring forth healthier self-perception and renewed positive self-identity.

Relationship And The World

Wise people have always said that we reflect what is in our inner world. There is this dance between the inner world and the outer world that is perfectly captured by the quote, “As above, so below.”

A world of pain sees pain through the lens of perception. A world of happiness or that of equilibrium may choose to purposely see a world with endless possibilities of good.

So, a relationship exists within a dance of perception. It’s critical to understand it and be mindful of your inner baggage for outward entanglements. Where the world outside of ourselves doesn’t always reflect a relationship that we desire, it is our inner compass that redirects and or repels for a change.

Relationship And Humanity

As I am, all is, perception, influence, imprints. What are your definitions? I may give you mine, but I leave you to ponder. But I will say this… in all of life, if you see your patterns of interaction, understand that you are within and surrounded by relationships.

In fact, we are all within that relationship with the Universe, God if we may call, with the breath of nature, without this breath our spirit immerses back into the eternal unseen. So, as you grow, think of how these relationships ebb and flow and how they are dependent on your growth, self-value, interactions, health, wealth, and prosperity.

The best partnerships are forged through self-care. And so, it is important to understand that the other person is doing their best too. They are learning to love and grow. And sometimes, when people have not healed their wounds, it is a blessing to grant them the space to do so. Allow them to discover themselves through love and work. Allow others a space of true love by caring for yourself, not in an egoistic manner, but knowing that you and they are God’s creations who should be loved properly. The traumas of life are real and we need to seek help if needed.

In friendship, it is all the same. It is like the relationship of the breath. Be tender, caring, loving, compassionate, supportive, and fair. Walk journeys together, and live, because life is short within this material world. Don’t try to possess anything in this world, and I don't mean not to acquire needs and wants, simply not to hort them. Ultimately, it will be true that we have no possessions, it is the right of passage for all. However, through the understanding and living of an unlimited mindset, we end up possessing everything as we feel WHOLE.

Relationships = Life = Living= breath. Life so loved us… we are here, good, bad, or indifferent. We are everything because we are nothing, and when you are able to make sense out of this sentence…

YOU WILL HOLD LOVE IN YOUR HANDS SO TENDERLY!
