Balancing Opposites in Relationships: Living the Quest for Authentic Wholeness
Relationships with other people always present challenges for personal growth. We sometimes resolve the either/or choices in your lives by looking into making choices that shut us far from our greatest potentials. Both poles certainly are a necessary section of living but we realize it is to find into your market that we go through the full potential of a sacred Self. This Self, although it includes our polarized dimensions, transforms and transcends those dimensions and causes us to creatively alive.
To released while experiencing uncertainty,
To accept and rejoice in evolving process, is to know peace.
The pulsing rhythm with the Omnipotent Yes-No
Beats as an ever-expanding heart to evolve a Universe.
The breath of Life pauses neither in, nor out,
An affirmation of Life's dynamic balance.
Swimming inside ever-pulsing ocean of becoming
I find peace inside the creative I AM.
(Ann Nunley, 1975)
Many individuals recall the powerful representation with the masculine and feminine set forth through the tobacco industry in ads through the latter a part of the 20th Century. The Marlboro man, tall, muscular and wearing a cowboy hat and Levis, stared down upon us from billboards, during another ad, the sexy lady with heavy lipstick, a lengthy cigarette holder between her manicured fingers and stiletto heels for my child feet, reminded us that "You've come a good way, baby!" The tobacco industry knew why these messages would attract our requirement for identity and would sell cigarettes.
It is essential to differentiate involving the superficial characteristics represented above and the more enduring intrinsic qualities that actually define the masculine as well as the feminine. energy healing practitioner are stereotypes that permit us to feel "as if" we're expressing who we are. True intrinsic qualities are archetypes that reflect the values of a deeper, more whole self.
When we form relationships, we're often fascinated by others who seem "opposite" to us and who express qualities we usually are not yet capable of express. I suspect we somehow hope that by mere proximity i will be in a position to "own" those qualities for ourselves. And yet, what we should have resisted and repressed within ourselves is just not so easily set free.
My husband Bob and I are actually married 47 years this spring. Being somewhat introverted, I was magnetized by his uninhibited expressions of exuberance. However, if we married I became uncomfortable with those very expressions. I found myself telling him what he "should" and "shouldn't" say and do - imposing restrictions that are great for my narrow comfortable zone. He bore this with great patience. Then one day as I was mulling over my judgments and setting up a few more, the Oscar Wilde's phrase " all men eliminating the things they love." entered my mind. I vividly saw and felt what I was doing and why. I realized that I needed to formulate, within myself, the very qualities that I had first admired in Bob after which rejected.
This experience forced me to be acutely aware than a lose-lose situation must others to quit genuine components of themselves to fulfill our personal rut, and our most significant creative act is always to re-create ourselves by liberating ourselves from old coping patterns that inhibit the expression in our highest potential.
In individually balancing the masculine and feminine qualities within ourselves, we be whole and dynamically alive. Love expands our hearts then moves upward to bloom just as one expression in the Soul. We can then share this wholeness with others without asking them to fill in our missing pieces.
When two whole and balanced people form a partnership, their hearts and souls unite in a very sacred synthesis, creating a third expression that often surpasses that which either partner could individually express.
Our movement toward both individual and collective balance supports a real ecology for being where we creatively offer the integral systems of which we can be a part. As we balance aspects within ourselves, we expand our influence to aid balance in the partnerships, our families, our societies, all sentient life on this planet, along with the universe itself.
