Word Gems exploring self-realization, sacred personhood, and full humanity
Soulmate, Myself:
Kairissi. We’d like to offer a restatement of what we’ve learned concerning Love and Wisdom – what it is and why it’s important. Elenchus. Can you quickly summarize? K. Woman and Man, Love and Wisdom, represent Mother-Father God. Our favorite mystic on this subject is Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov with his statement on "freedom from illusion." “The soul ... is itself only one-half of a complete being. For each of us there is a counterpartal [person] of the opposite polarity. And our pilgrimage towards emancipation [from illusion] consists in drawing ever nearer to this balancing factor ... so that, in the end, [while retaining sacred individuality,] we become [effectively One Person,] a male-female being in whom the positive and negative forces are in perfect equilibrium, reflecting the nature of the Male-Female Creator. Only through the perfect union of two souls of the opposite sex can that blending of forces be achieved which brings freedom from illusion and the full experience of Reality.” E. And, of course, all this easily points us toward its importance. Mother-Father God constitute ultimate reality, which means that Woman and Man, “made in the image,” reflect this preeminence. K. Elenchus, why don’t you comment on what prompted us to speak today. E. It won’t seem like much to some, but it affected us deeply. On the “marriage” page, this was posted:
E. Now, this small item from an old movie could seem inconsequential, but it gave me great pause. K. Tell me why. E. Look at this couple – how inclined in spirit they are toward each other. There is no rivalry, no protecting of turf. See how easily she relinquishes control of what’s very important to her, her house, the workshop of her primary activities – and why does she do this? To be with him, as he’s being called away to duties. All this is important, but it’s not the main reason why I wanted to say something here today. K. What are you really seeing, Elenchus? E. The import is finely nuanced and difficult to express. But when I saw them speaking together in such heartfelt and selfless manner, it suddenly became clear what was really happening. And it relates to ultimate reality. K. (silence) E. But allow me to interrupt myself to ask, why should their conversation be important? A claim to ultimate reality, the ego would assume, surely would involve more pomp and circumstance. If the guy on the couch were to say, “You need to conform to my work because I’m a big shot running a large corporation,” or “my rank is general in the armed forces,” or “I’m a famous politician with power over millions,” then we might find ourselves agreeing that something important is happening. But there’s none of that. K. Instead, what we see is one couple, with earnest desire, discussing, not his work so much, but how it will affect their relationship. E. Let me approach this from a different angle. We see here one couple, obviously devoted to each other. There is no jousting for power. Whatever they do, whatever he’s called to do, she insists on being with him, because this is what’s most important to both of them. His work “out there” in the world is actually secondary. Jobs and work assignments come and go, but what they cannot replace is each other, and the shared oneness they know. K. And so, what we’re really looking at here is a very small representation of Mother-Father God in action as they superintend their work in the universe. They – although strictly speaking they’re not two individuals but a female-male energy, it would seem – they, each to the other, is all there is. What they are to each other is primary and all activities in the universe fall in line behind that. E. And this is ultimate reality. The oneness, the relationship, they know is ultimate reality. They have each other and now they have all. There is nothing else. And they would never think of doing anything that would minimize the importance of the other or what they have together. K. Elenchus, to see this truth – I feel like I’ve fallen into an endless swoon of mystical intimacy! Most couples could never have a conversation as these two on the couch. He’d be egotistical about his vaunted work, and she wouldn’t be able to give up her house and white-picket fence. E. She said, “I didn’t marry a house, I married you.” K. But how many could say this? – instead, they’re just playing house. E. We are headed for Summerland. As we grow into our new lives, with indestructible bodies, with super powers, and with minds enhanced by many powers of ten, Twin Soul couples, more and more, will assume duties, and live their lives on a level that will not be so dissimilar to what Mother-Father God experience. This is ultimate reality. K. When we truly see what's being represented by the couple on the couch, it is absolutely astonishing and mesmerizing!
Editor’s final note: Supporting what we’ve said here is the work of Dr. Iain McGilchrist. He puts forward that what is primary in the universe is relationship, with the things related as secondary.
