Jennifer: It’s very timely for me, this idea of the value of the long term relationship [nearing my 50th wedding anniversary]… It seems like there are costs as well as benefits, and I’ve been kind of chafing a little bit at the idea of adjusting to certain limitations [such as aging], when in fact I’m beginning to feel more and more unlimited, and I have the desire to feel like I am being absolutely in integrity with my soul’s purpose and not with the expectations of society as to how long relationships should last. I’m just interested in hearing more about relationships and maybe my friends here have questions too.
I’m feeling Mary, Mary Magdalene, “Maggie”, my Dear one.
Mary Magdalen: Thank you, Beloved ones. Yes, I am here. I am very interested in this topic. The topic of the value of relationships, the connections between each of you…
You know you have unlimited connections between all expressions of the Divine Father and Divine Mother. You will feel these connections at different times and sometimes many, simultaneously, and as you become more and more comfortable with your own limitless-ness as a Being incarnated, you will become aware of the variety and multiplicity of connections on many levels, with one another, with many in your world, with students, potential and long ago, nowadays, with what is happening within your extended family, what is happening within your group of friends, what is happening within your circle of those who are advancing, growing, developing, evolving each day into their mastery -which we have mentioned before, is this group.
We want to set your mind at rest in the sense that you do not need to concern yourself that you have to limit yourself to anything other than the truth of your experience. And as long as you can maintain the truth of your experience within your primary household, then this relationship will be fed, this relationship will be honored. It is important that you be able to express the truth of your experience— your feelings, your evolving understandings— and to share that to the extent that the other is willing.
It is fine if your beloved is not your major confidant about spiritual things because there certainly are enough points of connection and enough ways in which you inspire one another and touch one another’s hearts. And that is the important thing. The important thing is that you feel nurtured in your relationship, that you are not the only one doing the nurturing, that there be an infinity loop between you and the heart of anyone who you are going to dedicate a great deal of your life to — and have— that there be this infinity loop of giving and receiving.
And sometimes you are the leader and you’re the teacher and sometimes your beloved is actually showing you some things- much to your surprise. So you see, a balance. A relationship is valuable in as long as it continues to be a source of encouragement, support, comfort, companionship, inspiration—there are so many aspects to a good relationship.
And you do not have to think that your relationship is perfect. There may be areas in which you do not completely coincide and this is perfectly fine. You are not missing anything, my Dear. You have had many lifetimes where you have had much shorter relationships and so, give yourself the knowing that this is the lifetime in which you chose one long and thoroughly valuable relationship. Receive that gift. Hear your own truth. I’m speaking your truth, my Dear.
