1. Partner’s Last Partner
September 1, 2021
Life has a continuing resume of your personal
experiences. Life is not an empty parking lot. We
each go through life with love of one, or maybe
many. The
fi
rst love likely was a parent or two
starting with mom. From there, moments of love are
fl
eeting, lasting ’til death is a parting, or serial loves
lasting beyond the physical connection. In this
modern world, many have loved more than one. Or,
perhaps, as a partner once said to me on a walk to the Santa Monica cli
ff
s over the ocean,
‘whomever you’ve been with, I’m the same one who is always with you’.
Having facilitated many di
ff
erent kinds of meditation techniques for clearing the mind of
attached negatives and traumas, the greatest meditation with no less than the highest
everlasting bliss is from two souls connecting and merging inside each other where you
become one. You never keep things from yourself about your thoughts and
activities, obviously. That same attitude is likewise in an
authentic merging with a partner. If you are, and they are
not, interested or committed to that, there is little hope in
bringing a deep soul connection up to speed where there
is not traction to that commitment.
Love is meditation. Meditation, like love, has little value if
you are not willing and doing what’s going to open you
wide. It’s like when I use to work out in gyms in NYC or
Venice Beach, the majority gave little e
ff
ort to working
out, but called it a ‘workout’. Love goes to sleep with the
best of intentions to keep it awake, but leaving your guard
down will result in having the rug pulled out from under
you, and the splendidness of a superconscious love.
Knowing a prospective partner’s past relationships for quality, be it a parent or romantic
relationships, is imperative and a good benchmark for what to expect in all but rare cases.
Always, there are rare exceptions, if there is a focus and dedication even if it’s a ‘march into
hell for a heavenly cause’. Meditation or love is an individual matter, and the commitment from
the heart that continues to open is key. Always, there is no end to real deep love, and the
beginning is always in the moment. Tune in, turn on and keep the heart open. Relationship
yoga is to use everything as an opportunity to light the
fi
res of love.
As a wisening woman friend told recently that she created this quote in her high school years,
‘’wisdom is the practical application of knowledge’’. I might add that it can become ‘knowing’,
and let love be your guide into the arms of wisdom.
