Partnership.
Let us not presume that the other, in the partnership equation, has the potential to provide the missing pieces to our own fragmentation. Two halves, in this instance, do not make a whole, they generally make a quarter! Why is this so? Because we often tend to believe that once we have found that special "somebody", then all our troubles will be over, when in fact, they may have only just begun!
We should not expect the other to be the "other half" that we are searching for. The "other half" is actually the finding of our own inner wholeness. No outside person can give us that which in inside of ourselves to begin with. The outer can lead us to the inner, if properly understood, but they cannot be a substitute for our own "holism" - wholeness, unity.
"The beloved that we are searching for, is non-other than our own wholeness and unity. Our own Holiness - Divinity, Soul."
When we begin to experience ourselves in a fuller, rounder way, then we will find that we have more to share, are better company and can indeed find and love our romantic partner without the disappointment of an energetically exhausting co-dependent relationship - coloured by anger, hatred, suspicion and confusion.
We can become masters of our relationships, so that we can live them more fully.
