Total Freedom
Total Freedom
Love is the antithesis of ownership, dominance, and oppression. Therefore you will know you are in its presence when you feel yourself able to be most wonderfully all that you are. ---True love grants absolute freedom, the freedom to be ever engaged in the process of your own becoming.
Daphne Rose Kingma: A Garland of Love
Sometimes we are stuck in relationships where there’s a lot of struggle. We are unable to express ourselves properly, and/or our partner does not seem to understand us. It’s like a cogwheel that does not turn properly because it lacks oil. The oil is true, selfless love.
Far too many relationships are based on ownership, dominance and oppression - sometimes very obvious, sometimes more subtle. In such a relationship there’s no real freedom: you cannot express your innermost essence, and you don’t feel you can grow in the ways that you yourself (and not your partner) need.
If we feel uneasy in a relationship, we should question it and see if we really feel free to develop and grow. If not, we have to take the consequences: continue being a small version of ourselves, or leave it and grow, to become our true selves.
