The following is a section of chapter five in Sex and Sexuality. Life begins in relationship with Mother and quickly you are thrust into a world of relationships. Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and every other person in your life, including the doctor who brought you into the world have a relationship with you. Even the people you pass on the street are a potential interaction and thus a relationship. You don’t even have to know them for an interaction to occur. So in reality you have some sort of relationship with everyone and everything on earth and beyond, although often a distant relationship. Once the probabilities are considered you quickly realize that relationships are what life is all about.
Take this investigation of relationships to the pinnacle, and it becomes clear that all relationships are with God. How so? Simply in the fact that God is All There Is! Even you are God expressing, so you are always and all ways in a relationship with God. How you experience this relationship is up to you by the actions you choose to take and the events you choose to participate in. When you stop and think about this it could be the most profound understanding in your life. I Am God, you are God, and we are all expressing God!
The food you eat, the clothes you wear, and the homes you live in are all a part of this Divine Relationship. The beauty of the whole system is humbling. Just take a minute, sit back and appreciate every little thing in your life. Each part of the whole feeds another part and thus the whole is sustained this is why it is called the cycle of life.
As human beings we have relationships with each other that take many forms and serve many functions. Close personal relationships are often the most profound because they are so intimate. Who we love and who we allow to love us is an integral aspect of the human life experience. When we enter puberty our bodies begin to mature and hormones start surging through us. Relationships thus begin to take on a whole new aspect! No longer are we mainly concerned with family and friends. Romance becomes the most important relationship in life.
How you interact with others is an expression of who you feel yourself to be. Since every relationship is with God, this divine relationship can take on many different faces. It is up to you to decide how you choose to express yourself, who you partner with, and who you have sex with.
My intention here is to help you more fully appreciate your life and live it to the fullest. For now just know that when you make love to your partner, God is connecting to God!
Our bodies are a learning tool and we use them to communicate with others. We see, touch, hear, taste and smell with our bodies all of which are forms of communication. A hand shake, a hug and kiss on the cheek are messages of love with increasing levels of intimacy. Touching is one of the most pervasive forms of communication we have in our society. Who are you Loving today?
