Frequently it is said within the Releasing Your Unlimited Creativity material that there is not a person on the face of the earth we cannot passionately love and have a love affair at each and every level of our being. All that stands in our way is our own mind. This is actually a very profound statement and goes to the essence of what our mind controls and how it controls our life. It is this statement that lies at the key of using sexuality as both a tool for awakening and a tool for enlightenment.

As a tool for awakening, this statement allows us to awaken to what we believe. If we pull the string on whatever answer we give ourselves as to why we prefer one individual over another, and/or we are free to act or not act in one area and not another, we can come to understand how and what we think and believe and why. In exploring what we think and believe and why we think and believe what we do, and why we are free or not free to act in a given situation, we will become enlightened both about ourselves and how mind creates the illusion which is giving rise to the experiences we have.

Biologically, the best genetic match for a sexual partner is smell. That is we are attracted by smell to the best biological match for genetic survivability. Everything else is programming and preferences of our mind. As for what it means to love someone and have a love affair with them and what we think it looks like of course depend on what we think and believe about love and what we think and believe what love is, or isn’t.

We need to understand, there is no match made in heaven nor is there any "soul mate" that is the perfect match for us. Anyone can have a passionate love relationship with another if they really want to do so. The match made in heaven is simply the match that we think will go with what we think and believe. Often what we think about a person is more based on what we think love is or isn’t than the reality of what is. In this regard, it becomes important to know and understand what love really is.

Obviously some relationships are easy others are hard. Some start in mutual appreciation and grow in to conflict. Some start in conflict and grow into mutual appreciation. But whether hard or easy, the novelty wears off and we are faced with a long term realization about how we feel and think about someone. Some individuals continually fighting as if they are sparring partners but they love each other intensely. Other relationship look like idea relationships but the individual loather each other. But if we look carefully it is all about what we think and believe and the type and kind of experiences we are choosing to have for whatever the reason my be. Whether a relationship is idea or a sparring match, from the creativity perspective, the question is whether or not the relationship allows each to expand into the infinity of their own being and each free to unfold true to themselves.

Many look for the ideal relationship and ask questions related to "With whom and I suppose to be with" or "How do I find Mr/Ms Right?" However, the questions should be "Who do I want and why do I want them and am I working to create the space for their creative spirit and my creative spirit to grow and unfold true to itself?" and "Who wants me and why do they want me?"

We each have the ability to work at any relationship and make it work. However, what price do we pay to make it work? The answer is that we should not have to make a relationship work. It should be a natural unfolding of our being. That is, we grow, expand and unfold as a result of being in an individual’s life. If we find ourselves shrinking we are in a relationship that does not serve us.

If we find ourselves having to work to get things our way, we are unwilling to surrender to what is being offered and we are seeking to maintain control. Here we must surrender to see if we are being offered an opportunity to grow or shrink. Then and only then, do we know whether or not we are served by the relationship. Sparring is not bad for it may be the way one simply moves past the control of mind. Similarly "ideal," pleasant relationships which don’t allow for the growth and unfoldment of one or both individuals does not serve.

The key is to see if our creativity is held sacred and we can feel the fullness of being and are free to expand into the infinity of our own being. Ultimately all that keeps us from doing so is our own mind and nothing more no matter what excuse mind gives as to the reason
