Rebirth: the Death of a Fiction

When we can say, “Thank you for your willingness to be with your pain and to love me” then we come to the possibility of true relationship. This is the crux of the matter right now, isn’t it? Because right now, as we ARE, in togetherness there is pain, isn’t there? We love somebody, we want to enjoy their company, offer them the best we can, and then we see all the mechanisms of this disconnective “self” get triggered and engage. We experience how profoundly we resist connection. If we are willing to be with this pain that we carry from a long ways back, that we inherit from many generations, only then can we speak of crossing the threshold of a Loving that might eventually allow us to know each other as “People,” not just some momentary senti-mentality.
