Soul, who do you marry this morning?
Artificial intelligence
Human intelligence
Cosmic intelligence
Online, offline, skyline
Negative and positive
Scurry to attract a polarised charge
A cell for the unconscious
Male and Female
Dreaming lovers
Dead to the Truth
Typing an escape
Into a two dimensional world
Wake up sleeping soul
You are not a battery
You are a prototype
An original source
Of cosmic light
Waiting to be born

When you set your intention for emotional wellbeing, you grow out of the habit of dependency on other people for your happiness and security. This transition may take some time to assert itself until you find a clear and healthy way to express emotion. The question then asked changes from ‘what can I get out of this relationship?’ to ‘what can I bring to this relationship?’
You can choose to bring in emotional security and self worth. This ensures you will no longer crave affection, praise or attention from a partner; and become sullen and withdrawn when it is not forthcoming.
It will end the obsessive behaviour of craving a relationship to make you feel secure and complete.
Bring to a relationship the qualities that you would like to see mirrored back to you. You are the person with the power to be whole and complete unto yourself. Like attracts like; become the type of person you wish to attract.
Sometimes you can lower your expectations because you don’t believe you are worthy of a loving relationship. This false belief keeps the love you really wish to manifest out of reach.
If you aren’t sure of what type of person you would like to attract; look around you at the people you meet, see what qualities magnetise you to another person. Look deeper than outward appearance; what qualities do you find attractive in a person. Is it respect, loyalty or trustworthiness? Could it be emotional intelligence, kindness or an independent spirit?
When you see the traits you wish to attract, set your intention to bring forth those qualities in yourself. By exuding these positive traits in yourself, you attract on the outer level people who reflect it back to you.
By changing your mental framework to accommodate a broader spectrum of ideas and options, you will have a lot more opportunities, not only in your relationships, but in all aspects of your life.
Once you begin to trust in your feelings, you can use emotion to gauge how you feel about an event, a course of action or a person who comes into your life. You will no longer be dependent on mental interpretation to give you an answer. In fact egoic thinking can never give a clear answer because it constantly throws up questions rather than solutions.
Being over reliant on mental strategies can leave you indecisive and over reliant on the advice of others. As well meaning as those you seek advice from may be, they can only advise you from their frame of reference. This depends on their upbringing, influences and how they interpret information from the world around them. Unless they are truly empathic, they cannot feel your feelings. At best they can point you in the direction of your truth; at worst they can confuse you due to an unpleasant experience they may have had.
Use your own emotional guidance to show you how you feel about someone, something or any given situation. Take responsibility for your decision making. Keep your intention strong to make decisions that give the best possible outcome for you at this point in time. This helps you achieve emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence helps you to develop your intuition; the access point to Higher Self’s wisdom.

Fortitude meets Longing
On the road to despair
Perilous dreams narrow the path
They stumble and fall
And plead for a guide
They meet Mercy who leads them
To the boundary of hope
Longing desires a name and a face
Fortitude dreams of perfection and grace
Dreamers on a desert land
Waking to an oasis of truth
From vast planes of illusion
A mirage of uncertainty lies heavily
Upon the crown of Longing
A shadow falls like a question mark
Across the path of Fortitude
Both remember
Both forget
Longing becomes Fulfilment
Fortitude evaporates into air…
And Fulfilment breathes deeply
Exhaling Love on despair

Can I die this death for you?
A kaleidoscope of memories
Fall to rubble in the mind
A thousand stories unwritten
Scatter words into dust
The sun rises
The sun sets
In between the self fades
Dying to remember you
Before we took shape
In breath and limb
Can you die this death for me?
And wipe the past from your eyes
The moon rises
The moon sets
In between our lives merge
In this cosmic heat
This burning love

Love clears any obstacles on its path to freedom. Any blocks that prevent you feeling love shall have to surface into consciousness. Any unconscious beliefs that oppose the new reality you are attracting shall begin to present themselves in your awareness.
Issues of self esteem and old limiting thought patterns arise so that they can be felt and cleared to make way for the new reality. Be aware of any avoidance habits that prevent you releasing fear.
Sometimes at this point it can seem that things are actually getting worse rather than getting better. It is easy to fall back into old mind patterns and allow unconscious thoughts and fears to create your reality. Instead of collapsing into the old thought patterns, use an affirmation to help you through it;
Everything is in Divine and perfect order now.
Remember that what you are currently experiencing is only temporary because life is always changing. Confusion comes about when you are moving between the old way of being and the new reality you are attracting into your life experience. Stay focused on the new reality through intention and affirmations.
When fearful thoughts arise, it is your inner guidance revealing to you any beliefs that are blocking the emergence of your new reality. It is in effect saying to you to clear away the old to make way for the new. Be completely open and watch the fears as they arise into the conscious mind. Attach no judgement, guilt or shame to them. Allow the old beliefs to dissolve just by being present to them.
