it seems these principles can be applied to all interactions. Other people, random or personal. The relationship I have with my body. My relationship with the Devas, the sky, the earth, the dragons, the cosmos... How am I interacting? What is it Ivwant and why do I want it? Why do I respond the way I do and most importantly what am I not aware of? Subtle underlying programing, developed, hidden and protected. I got a glimpse of that shadow today. If I have created relationship to rattle the cage, when does that stop? Or is it that I stop perceiving it as rattling? I got a glimpse of the distortion I have hidden. A desire to be a part of something. Longing for support outside of me. The doubt of being able to stand alone again. I realize I can not stand formidable with anything until I can do it on my own without needing something in return. To authentically contribute to the team not be dependant upon it.
