Soul Couples

Most marriages or life partnerships start with a bang. Physical or sexual attraction progressing into the heat of passion. Huge wedding celebration with lots of hope and expectation for the future. The greater those expectations, the more likely there will be disappointment and heartache ias life itself doesn't match up to the preconceived expectation. Almost all marriages eventually develop into two categories. Number one, is the category of peaceful coexistence. This is a very shallow relationship that develops when each partner disappoints the other one in many different ways. However, because of the fear of failure or the fear of being alone, not knowing what the future will bring,and the disillusionment from the great expectations the beginning, the couple stays together in some kind of coexistence. Number two, is the gradual and sometimes , rapid deterioration of the relationship into the great drama of the ego game. This ego game can last for a long time and can take on many forms included infidelity, dishonesty, mental and physical abuse, and more often than not, wind up in divorce. In reality this relationship never happened because this was simply the ego manifesting itself on each side of the partnership, feeding on itself. There was never true heart to heart and soul to soul, spiritual relationship between the core essence of each partner, which is their divine nature. Ultimately no one is to blame except the ego. If they truly understood this they could forgive each other, and possibly get back on the path of the spiritual journey together which is what marriage is meant to be. There are rare occasions however were the partnership or marriage stays on the spiritual path even though it may go through many bumps and bruises. The couple learns to recognize the true self or divine nature in each other, and that recognition creates an ever deepening dimension of love, peace, joy and unity that is totally beautiful. If you look back at some of the famous soul couples that you know those, who are famous for not , maybe you know some personally, the evidence of this reality is profound. Hugh Cronin and Jessica Tandy, George Burns and his wife I forget her name, Christopher Reeves and his wife. There are many couples which we could call soul couples. However, compared to the rest of humanity they are a slight minority. The light of radiance of their union has created a memory and all of us. Look at your partnership or marriage.. Which direction is a heading ? Are both of you getting lost in the ego game and being taken over completely by the possession of the mind and the veil of separation that it creates, or are you walking together along the mysterious path of the soul journey. May we all find that path !!!!!
