<BR>
<BR>
<BR>BOB: I believe Lady is tugging my sleeve. One moment please.
<BR>
<BR>LADY: I place my hand on his forearm. How responsive is my companion! I
<BR>point that out to you because it is an indication of how differently we
<BR>perceive things, he and I. He told you way back in the beginning of our
<BR>association that I was his counterpart, and we are opposites. Positive and
<BR>negative. Male and female. Black and white. Passive and aggressive.
<BR>Supine and erect. It is a testimony to our wholeness, both as individuals
<BR>and as a pair, that we are so well-coordinated in our oppositions.
<BR>
<BR>I cannot help but appreciate how this same flavor seems to reveal itself in
<BR>the two of you, that each of you have positive and negative, aggressive and
<BR>submissive, black and white, masculine and feminine. It is not so cut and
<BR>dried as a finite perception might allow. It is actually a harmony, a
<BR>balance, and so rather than cause alarm when you see that you are on opposing
<BR>sides of an issue, or when you have opinions that appear to be diametrically
<BR>opposed, it is not an unhappy understanding. It ought to be, for you, a
<BR>recognition of the inherent respect that is given all sides of the coin. It
<BR>is without judgment that you are able to be a witness to all sides of a
<BR>proposition; To acknowledge this and to acknowledge that, to recognize this
<BR>and to clearly see that.
<BR>
<BR>There is no need for you each to feel it is necessary for the other to share
<BR>the precise opinion or point of view. The fact that you have, like the
<BR>pendulum, a healthy swing from one side to the other, creates symmetry.
<BR>Between the two of you, you have the whole of time in your hands. You are in
<BR>harmony with the oneness of time and eternity. Enjoy each other's diversity
<BR>from your own rather than regarding it as an alienation of affection or
<BR>association. Allow yourself to be amused by the divergence possible in such
<BR>joyous companionship as you share with your mate.
<BR>
<BR>Remember that male and female will need each other throughout eternity to
<BR>enhance, inspire, encourage, augment, assist, delight, amuse and stymie, even
<BR>into Paradise. If the Father knows what He has wrought in creating you, give
<BR>up your fight against who you are and be what He has created you to be, fully
<BR>recognizing that your partner is capable of with-standing the stretch of
<BR>apparent opposite opinions in a delicate balance of harmony that will engage
<BR>you both for eons to come.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: You mean she's never going to think like me?
<BR>
<BR>LADY: Alas, my friend, she cannot.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: Thank you, Lady. That's great insight. That's very helpful.
<BR>
<BR>LADY: I relinquish my moment with you. How I treasure this contact.
<BR>
<BR>THOROAH: Please come by more often.
<BR>
<BR>BOB: Indeed, I am "a lucky man" as you would say. Her movements are like the
<BR>waves, rocking the cradle on the sea of time and space. My energy is as a
<BR>soldier, regimented and enjoying having one foot in front of the other,
<BR>purposive and orderly and reasoned. And yet I like to rock and she likes to
<BR>march, and so we trade off sometimes. I encourage that. It allows you both
<BR>to better appreciate what the other endures and enjoys. It helps to develop
<BR>companionship skills. It's not that you understand each other; it's that you
<BR>understand how you go about it.
<BR>
<BR>I guess that would be something like what you say the Teachers tell you. We
<BR>don't tell you what to do, we tell you what you need to know. What you do is
<BR>your own free will and God knows we all have some of that. </FONT></HTML>
