Genuine relationship is the result as well as the process. Is this not what we are alive for? This is the experience. It is being within and what it really is. Our interactions provide us the opportunity to learn and grow.

Our relationship with aspects of being bring out and together our capacities. These capacities could revolutionize or destroy social structures. These capacities develop the human and in consequence branch out into science, technology, and social and governmental structures. Do we have a cosmic responsibility?…and if we’re really daring, a cosmic accountability? These structures called science, technology, social and government systems also create a feedback to the person to learn and expand their capacity to “re-model” the structures they live by.

The person is a kind of center of the universe (but don’t let it get to your head). The person is a point of perception. We are like a lens and a filter. The person is a kind of processing center whose systems and processes understood through relationships can awaken what is “more” than personality and previously described. The senses, the impulses, and drives can lead us to greater insights and dissolve ideas of a little self, instead of being like echos we build and defend out of fear. As such, we carry incredible potential, and in the degrees to which we open or define decide our progress.

No amount of insight or understanding changes the fact we are having a human experience. This experience is what it means to be human. The ego is a necessary, and necessary to be understood in order to be healthy and in its right place. In understanding our own natures we might begin to realize how limited we were before, and our newly awakened capacities teach us about the possibilities of being alive. In putting our realizations to service we create the conditions of feeling more at home in ourselves, and our “work” can become a kind of fertile eco-system we (and others) continually learn and benefit from.

It seems beneficial to describe our goals. Goals worthy of a life’s work stem from a personal understanding that can more deeply relate. We don’t have to build the tallest tower to impress ourselves anymore. We can prepare ourselves instead to be greater vessels of potential/life. Then, no matter what we do, we are reverberating effectively. The goal is to create ripples that are pleasant and life-offering.

We are twenty-first century human beings and we don’t have to live by codes people felt they needed thousands of years ago. We often look at life through interpretations given to us, and these interpretations can be barriers to deeper relationships in all aspects of life.

We are usually “so certain” that we are almost incapable of experiencing life as it is. We wonder why we don’t feel happy or content, yet we don’t realize how tight we’ve been gripping things this whole time. There is nothing wrong with an “other”. What can be wrong are the results of already believing we know what it is before we’ve had an authentic relationship with it.
