Freedom in relationship

 

 

There is no end to conflict, and it is only through conflict that there can ever be any growth and advancement.

There is conflict at every level of our existence, so why deny or be blind to it?

 Conflict cannot be denied, it is part of the human structure, and we use it as a means to an end, the end being the right environment for the individual.

Through conflict we move to greater things, between what has been and what will be and the struggle between two opposing ideas.

Through opposition there is growth, there is progress, and this whole process is life.

With the attempt to find the truth of the matter we are coming closer, of what is the situation about, then holding to empowering conclusions and opinions.

Intellectually or verbally you can prove or disprove anything, but that cannot alter certain obvious facts.

This conflict, this struggling within the cage of thought and self limitation, is what one calls progress is within the same underlying pattern.

One cannot separate the end from the means, for they are a single, inseparable process. The results of using wrong means for a so-called right end are fairly obvious. All opposites are self-projected; the ideal is a reaction from what is, and the conflict to achieve the ideal is a vain and illusory struggle within the cage of thought.

The abuse of another makes that person the dead instrument of ones needed gratification. Existence is relationship; to be is to be related. Relationship is society.  As long as we psychologically need and use each other, there can be no relationship.

The mind is not quiet when it is acquiring or becoming and so it inevitably creates misery for itself and for others.

When the mind is still, a true factor of love that is above the mind comes into being.
