There are some people,
perhaps the vast majority, who would assume that relationships are
nothing but a struggle for ego supremacy. By that I mean
relationships of ALL kinds, not just between man and woman, but
between human and human of all ages, types and inclinations. They
assume this about relating primarily because that is all they have
ever experienced in their lives...such is the karma of the world at
present. But such an expectation is much like viewing forestry as
fields of stumps, simply because clear cutting is all one has ever
seen.
The warrior must indeed
stand ready to have their world view challenged. And then, with
detachment, be willing and able to transform themselves into new and
better forms. The karma of this world civilization is dark indeed.
But that fact is a reflection of our own acts as a species, it is not
the nature of reality itself. The nature of reality is this; that
life progresses, it evolves, it has beauty, it has sacred purpose.
The purpose of life is
the expansion of consciousness!
Most
humans don't want to hear that, but that is part of their karma too.
That is part of their many self-inflicted wounds. Humanity has
become like a tree that has set half of its' branches on fire, while
it hacks away at the roots of its' other half.
But
that is not how life has to be. Love and clarity are not pipe dreams
invented by those out of touch with reality. They are the lifeblood
of all true progress. Regardless of what dark karma we have been
dealt, be it personal or cultural, the practitioner must by necessity
purify themselves and define their forest once again as a vibrant and
progressive entity full of life.
Sexual
energy does not have to imply victimization. It is a beautiful force
of nature that CAN be employed by practitioners for the sake of
mutual benefit.
