Everyone assumes that people cannot have a spiritual relationship with another human being. Since people are flesh and blood then all relationships must be that way.
So, they anthropomorphize their relationship with spirits, angels, dead love ones and all kinds of figments of their imaginations. They don’t realize that a spiritual relationship is possible with others.
There are several prerequisites for a spiritual relationship
1. Intentions – Preconceive interests, we all have them
2. Free Will – Can we really allow people to do not what we want.
3. Do not judge – We will always judge, by our own standards. Who else standard are we going to use
4. Do not blame – Also hard to do, especially since people are responsible for what happens to them
5. Acceptance of each other – Now that we know who they are, do we still want to join in their thoughts
And here is the problem, as humans it is very hard to allow these five things.
Possible yes, easy no. Perhaps it is virtually impossible. Perhaps the closest example of this is the love between a mother and child. However, no matter the mother’s good intentions, it usually fails the first two. Husbands and wives, may have 1 and 3 but seldom have 2 and 4. Sometimes number 1 and 5 is all they have.
So how do we accomplish 1-5, easily, if we are born again in a different planet.
Unfortunately, we are all prejudice and by the time we are adults bring with us lots of prejudicial luggage from our parents, schooling, friend, relationships, religions and even culture.
So your best bet is a get a dog, or a cat. Otherwise find someone that stays away from the people of the world. Because people are the antithesis of spiritual thought.
There it is simple, just not easy.
