Social Synergy Lloyd Sevigny Welcome...I would like to invite you to join me in a search for ways to discover relationships based on being aware of ourselves and what that means. Relationships are the most complicated adventures which we as humans can embark upon. Oh...sounds grandiose, doesn't it? Well think of where you are in your life at this moment...are you content with your relation to people, places and things? Could you foresee improving it in some areas? I have found, in my life, that relationships, when successful, are pure bliss! On the other hand, when they turn out to be dismal, a lot of needless pain is experienced. Why do some relationships work and others fail? The answer to that is not complex. Total honesty and truth will always be the first step in any relationship whether it's with yourself (not unusual), with work, with a lover, with nature or life in general, these two qualities are paramount. Have you ever met someone who for the first few weeks is delightful and gradually changes into someone else who has the ability to drive you batty? The reason for this is that such a person, is living in a world of delusion. There's an old saying - "Do you want to make god laugh...tell him your plans." Ego, or that fake reality in which many of us live is an unforgiving monstrosity of self -serving behavior. To truly know oneself is to have the ability to realize that we are not our thoughts. We are the essence that attends to our thoughts and more often than not that essence is on auto-pilot. This means we have fallen into the trap of believing that we are our thoughts. That is a scary proposition. Consider for a moment that we had the ability to stop the endless words and concepts that are ever with us. What, at that point would happen? Would we cease to exist? Would insanity ensue? The answer is no...not at all. We would have reached the place inside or ourselves that is called the observer and it is inconsistent with thinking. This observer is a place where we exist apart from our thoughts and it is able to see and hear our individual realities. We have all experienced this place many times in our lives. It is the absolute now. Remember seeing a brilliant rainbow, the thinking mind stopped and we were just...there. No judging, just pure being. There is great bliss when we are in the moment. Most westerners have felt this bliss, albeit briefly, at the peak of sexual orgasm. This is an example of the absolute now, however it only lasts for a few seconds. After the bliss we remember that moment and think - "Oh that was wonderful", and we experience it through our thought processes as having been a moment in the past. But if we are not our thoughts, it follows that there is no past and no future, only the seamless fabric of time which is always and only experienced as NOW. In India, the sexual union is a sacred experience. Our frenzied coupling and subsequent orgasm is regarded as lust by many cultures including those of India, It is viewed as a form of self-serving much like masturbation, except for the fact that there are two bodies rather than one. I will pause at this point and when I return I hope someone will comment...no one can live in a vacuum, and so I reach out.Lloydlsevigny (talk) 17:48, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
