Relationships


We are in relationship with everything around us.
We are relating to everyone we think of or encounter.
We are in relationship with the sun and moon, the earth and sea.
We are relating to every thought, word and interaction.

Life is a body offers the unique experience of relationship.
With our senses, sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing, we recognize what appears to be separate from us.
We think when we see something or someone outside ourselves that they are separate.
However, consider the possibility there is nothing truly and totally separate from us.

Perhaps All That Is…is the One We Are.
Perhaps the babe you hold inyour arms is part of you.
Perhaps the sun you feel warming your skin is there for you.
Perhaps the emotions you feel in another are really there for you.

If everything is part of us, then we are always in relationship with ourselves.
Perhaps every relationship you experience is really an opportunity to connect with yourself.
Perhaps every upset is really your chance to soothe yourself.
Perhaps ever experience of separation is only that which comes from withholding love from yourself.

This morning here in Hawaii, as I was doing T’ai Chi Chih, I noticed that the plants responded to my chi.
I began to converse in my mind and thank them with my love.  
The colors became more brilliant in my vision.
And with my sharing I discovered, I could hear and feel their response.

When I watched a father and son walk together, I could feel the loving connection between the two.
I sent them my deepest love and blessings for the love they share with one another and with all of us.
I notice when I love everything I see, I can feel and depply experience the love coming back to me.
When I separate myself and think only of what I need or want for me, I feel separate and on my own.

I believe we all have these experiences, somewhere in time/space.
I know that we all have had moments of Oneness and no sense of separation.
These experiences seem to be forgotten easily and we are left alone with nothing to trust.
This is where we need to remember to give, not get the Love  and Goodness we seek.

Sometime when you are alone, in nature is most easy, try your own experiment.
See the differences, compare your value of what you see, and notice you feel separate and alone.
Then choose to value everything as beautiful and good and Love it all, and notice the connection.
When you are in truly Loving Relationship, it is always about what you are giving.

Relationships are the opportunity to share and declare your Love.
Relationships are place in time and space to forgive all separation.
Relationships encourage forgiving the need to get and open to always giving.
Relationships are here for our holy remembrance and healing all separation.

When we know we are connected with everything we see, we recognize, we are essential to it All.
When we experience there is no greater or lesser, no better or worse, we forgive all comparison.
When we understand that in each aspect of creation is the realization of Self, the entirety of Being.
When we relinquish all thought of attack, judgment and separation, we can See and Be All Good.

Consider releasing yourself from lonliness, lack and limitation by simply loving all you encounter.
Consider blessings everything and everyone with full appreciation and experience being blessed.
Consider relinquishing all need to compare and evaluate the worth of what you see and simply be.
Consider giving up trying to find your right relationship and place and enjoy what is already there for you.

You have all you need to know Love right now.
The blessings already are.
Betty Lue

LOVE
There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
No disease that enough love will not heal;
No door that enough love will not open;
No gulf that enough love will not bridge;
No wall that enough love will not throw down;
No sin that enough love will not redeem.

 It makes no difference 
  how deeply seated may be the trouble,
How hopeless the outlook,
How muddled the tangle,
How great the mistake. 
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

 If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest 
and most powerful being in the world.
