The image above is The SYMBOL OF BEING. It's a thing I made to depict the word BEING, and the expression of BEING BE-ing Being(s). That's pretty much everything that is. There's a bit I wrote on it linked to this line. If you can make sense of it and see how it relates to relationships, right on. If not, then you can read about at that link. A far s relationships, I'll get into that here in this conversation.

         Living it is about relationships. Life is not. Life and living are two separate things. Life is relationships. It's not ABOUT relationships. Living is about BEING BE-ing Beings. Life is the actual individual expressions and ways of being. Life is the parts. Living is the relationship and vibration of and between those parts. Life is still and solid. Living is in motion, fluid. So while some can argue that life is about relationships, it is not, honestly. Living is, yes. Life is about WHY one is what one is, and one being that one. The building blocks of life are one thing at a time. The building blocks of living are two things at a time. This is one way LIFE and LIVING form a trinity. An interesting thing is that you cannot have one without the other. Life does not need consciousness. There is an awareness, yes, but that awareness does not need consciousness.

         Any and every relationship is only between two points only. It's always one to one. If there are three people in a relationship, there aren't. There is the relationship between A & B, A & C, and B & C. Each pair of individuals has their own individual relationship in a group. This is because you each relate to one another one moment at a time, and the moment is only between two of you. As a group you don't relate to the group, you relate to one another, one to one, with respect to the other's one to one relationships. It's a network of pairs of individuals. Each pair of individuals has its own unique bond. If all three of you are eating out at dinner, only two of you can sit directly across from one another, unless you're sitting in a triangle, and if you are, there are still only two of you sitting directly across from each other in pairs.

                  Living is about relationships. Another way to say that is living is about the vibration or expression of energy between two points. The two points merge and create a third point. That's it. A relationship is the energy, or space between, or spirit of, or point or focus of, two points. THE THIRD POINT "is the relationship". More honestly put, the third point is the focus of the relationship. It's the third point that is recognized the most. The third point is the lens that the two ends/points of the relationship see each other through. It is the reason the two are in the relationship. For instance, A Husband and Wife are joined at the point of Marriage. That is the relationship, and they see each other through that lens. IF THE FOCUS IS THE MARRIAGE then whoever the husband was, he is no longer that, not honestly. IF THE FOCUS OS THE MARRIAGE then whoever the wife was before the marriage, she is no longer that, not honestly, to the husband. If you do not like that, look at one another through a different lens. Be in a different relationship in your marriage. Some see it as a crutch or an excuse to slack off and do what you want. Some sea "support system" as "you support me," even "WE support me," and some even see it as "I support us," as opposed to "we support us and each other." Seeing it as a partnership means it cannot be a crutch or excuse to do what you want. Change the focus point, or the nature of your relationship. It is wise to know the nature of your relationship, so you know who and what you are looking at, why, and how. This means you must KNOW THE WORD< the one word in the moment of the relationship.
