Consider that we strive to be unbound but more often we connect with power and call it love. This is fallacy. Unbinding power is the best thing to do, releasing the ties created by the urge to control. Giving love does not control. Giving love means you will receive love. Receiving love makes love grow and in growing easier to give. Love never creates a binding. Exchanging love makes for mutual supports and never binds. Power tends to feel like love at first but the binding of power creates conflict in the end and can destroy relationships. The real problem is distinguishing when the connection is love or power.
Recognizing the difference requires effort and care. Ask yourself these questions.
Do you tell your partner what to do rather than express an opinion about what should be done and allow them to choose the course of action?
When they choose actions you do not agree with do you support them anyway?
When together do they tell you what you should do?
Do they support your choices no matter what?
If there is power binding then you will be telling each other what you want and trying to make them conform to your wishes.
By loving you will grow by linking power you will interfere with each other. It is difficult to be free and allow another their freedom. But if you can achieve this goal of loving, mutual support and care then you will be able to discover more of yourself as the other your partner mirrors you.
Life should be like art, interconnected and mutually supporting but spiritually unbound. We should not worry about what things we produce but rather the ripples we create into the cosmic stream. These ripples have a large effect on the people and places they touch.
