What separates you from others?

Posted on Apr 20th, 2008 by

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 20, 2008:

Insecurity, shyness, my own silly walls I have quietly built up around my weathered heart.
ignorance, judgement, gender mysteries,?????/

However, I can see some of me in others, and that includes the light and the dark..
Separation is an illusion...I still yearn for a humans warmth to be near me...
so the separate feeling is oft intensified.

Separation is the lack of Love. We feel separated where there is pain. Let us Love ourselves where we have refused before.

Loving…Will.

Ah yes–sometimes the yearning is satisfied with meeting a person who starts as separate and then is so bonded that the yearning stops.
And yet, as Will points out; it can start loving; unattached, unconditional love. Just being in that energy of love. Letting it fill us till that is all we can attract from “others.”

I am hearing you older, wiser brothers and sista's…I feel it…I have to form an attatchment though, from a whole space within me..an intergrated person..as i have difficulties forming attatchments, my self imposed isolation and singleness…keeps me safe..I do not wish to be in a r/ship just for the sake of that..Learning to love all of myself, not just the ideal self..is an interesting path, that I feel many do not have the courage to walk..if we loved our shadow as much as we loved our sparkly side…we would have to do some work..
Does what I am saying make any sense?? I do not wish to be enmeshed with another, Just safe, warm, trusting, adventurous, a fellow spirit path walking person….I know he is walking my way…..It is very exciting, and of course scary!! because as we all know, relationships take work at times…they press our buttons, push us, bring about change in oneself that happens when alone, yes, however it is intensiied when trying to share a life path…
Seperate and together, balance…it is where I am heading, I hope…for without hope…well this is not my world view to live without hope..
