| Posted 9/22/2006 12:01 PM (GMT -6) |   | Hey, y'all.
Mystical moment time.
I'm seeing it.
What this whole thing's about.
This is long...
but just go with it.
Imagine you have two beings.
Imagine that each of those beings ascribes positive worth to the other...just because they are.
That each being looks at the other for all their complexity, uniqueness, and individuality...and says "It is good."
No judgement.
No insecurity.
Just looking at each other's beauty and valuing each other well.
Further imagine that they both have dispositions that genuinely wish to see each other having WELL-BEING and HONOR.
Each person genuinely wants the other to enjoy themselves in truly joy...and to understand themselves as being sacred in their beautiful individuality.
Next,
Each being wishes to FELLOWSHIP with the other.
Genuine fellowship in the context of VALUE, WELL-BEING, and HONOR.
Now...let's say that they relate...
They fellowship.
Something very interesting occurs.
For each being.
Each of the beings finds that the value, well-being, and honor that has been given has not only BEEN RECIPROCATED...
...but in some mysterious way...
it has created the DESIRE FOR MORE
Each being genuinely WISHES to have MORE fellowship with other being!!
As this goes on and on...
there is a beautiful, mysterious synergy that is created.
A BEAUTIFUL ADDICTION, as it were.
A hardcore, but HEALTHY desire to fellowship with another out of value, well-being, and honor.
Every moment that each being spends in this relationship is ECSTASY.
Even if all they are doing is TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
It's always bliss.
It's always beautiful.
----------------------
Now, stop and take a look at how YOU FEEL right now just thinking about this...
...
I just wanted you to feel that.
Moving on...
------------------------
Now imagine YOU are one of those beings.
Feel that joy, security, and love.
Live in that.
It's like that SENSE that your heart had always been crying out for...
but couldn't put words to.
It's been fulfilled in THIS relationship.
It's heavenly.
It's beautiful.
now...
Let's imagine...
...that for some reason...
related to love...
something would have to be done.
YOU HAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER BEING
-------------
Now, stop and take a look at how YOU FEEL right now just thinking about this...
REALLY get into it this time.
Feel that?
Feel that touch of despair?
Feel that internal sense of
HELL, NO!
I just wanted you to feel that.
Moving on...
---------------------
You don't want to separate from the other being, do you?
But...
what if this separation that you must endure...
is for YET ANOTHER BEING that can be valued, honored, and healed?
What if there is a THIRD being who has fallen into despair...
about itself.
about it's world.
about other beings.
This THIRD being has lost it's way.
Forgotten the intrinsic worth it had by the nature it being itself beautiful.
And NOW that third being is on it's way to...
...a most ill, torturous fate...
separation. from itself and from others.
To be lost in utter unreality.
You think about it.
You won't just let that THIRD being go down like that.
You value and honor it...
PLUS...
You want it to be healed.
You don't like the idea of the separation...
But you LOVE the idea of helping to heal the THIRD BEING.
AND...
there's something else you know.
You know that you will ONLY be separated from the other being for a SHORT TIME.
You know that after this PAINFUL moment of separation...
You will be BACK with the Other being again.
So...
For the joy set before you...
You decide to endure the separation.
Separation time's at 12:00pm
High noon.
It's 11:58am.
How do you feel? (Gethsemane)
The clock strikes.
High...
Noon...
The being you've been face to face with...
for so long...
Turns their back to you...
for the FIRST TIME in your relationship.
AND...
WALKS...
AWAY...
----------
Does your heart cry "Don't leave me!"?
Does it grieve?
Does it hurt?
Does it speak out of it's VERY, VERY human emotions and say...
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?!?!"
Separation's complete.
It...
Is...
Finished.
-------------------
Dramatic Pause
-------------------
The FIRST being RUNS back to you.
And gives you a great...big...bearhug!
And says to you...
"I'm so proud of you. Because of you, the THIRD being is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to have to END UP living in the the feeling that you just felt."
It doesn't HAVE to feel worthless.
It doesn't HAVE to feel repugnant.
It doesn't HAVE to feel profane.
Though what YOU'VE done...
IT CAN HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE.
It can relate to US now.
It can relate to ITSELF now.
We've HEALED the third being.
Because of your sacrifice.
Well done.
