Kyla Question #56

 

Joshua,

Has this thing with the latest Daniel played itself out in three days? It's felt like three years. We had this intense energetic connection, like we just looked at each other and could see our Selves reflected back.

`The first day we met, he asked me to go for a walk and we kissed on a bridge over the river at sunset. He told me he loved me. He said he couldn't wait for me to meet his family. Normally that would scare me, but it didn't. Maybe because I knew it wouldn't happen.

The second day we met up on the bridge and then walked to get a drink. His touch on my ankle was like volts of electricity shooting through my entire body. He again said he loved me, and that time I admitted I felt fear. He then told me a story about a coyote, a scorpion, and a monk.

A coyote was looking for a place to cross a river, and right as he found one, he noticed a scorpion. The scorpion asked for a ride across the river. The coyote asked, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion replied, "Because then we would both die."

The coyote agreed, the scorpion hopped on, and halfway across the river, he felt a sharp pain in his spine. He asked the scorpion, "Why?" and the scorpion replied, "Because it's in my nature."

Down the river a ways, an old monk and a young monk were at the riverside filling a pail with bowls of water. The older monk noticed a scorpion floating by, so he scooped it up with his bowl. As he set it free, the scorpion stung his hand, and then headed back into the water. The monk again scooped him up, and the scorpion stung him again as he set it free.

After watching the same thing happen a third time, finally the younger monk asked, "Why?" The older monk replied, "Because it's in my nature."

Upon hearing this story, I asked him if he was the coyote or the monk. It was clear to both of us that I was the scorpion. He said he was probably the coyote.

Today, when I was getting ready to meet him to go to the lake, I felt resistance. I didn't want to go. But I went anyway. And now that I'm gone, I feel like I'm gone for good. When we were saying goodbye today, I said "See you next time." He replied "Or maybe next life."

So is this all it was? This incredible, cosmic, swirl of a few days where we caught glimpses of ourselves, where we learned everything we had to learn from each other in this minuscule amount of time, and now it's over (at least in this version of physical reality)? Or is there more to this story?

I can't figure out if I'm following inspiration or succumbing to fear. So please...hit me with some infinite intelligence on this.

With love,
Kyla


Dear Kyla,

We understand that in your physical world, time has some meaning to you. But don't you think that time is more of an abstract thing? Isn't it nice to just come together for the exchange? Why drag it on any longer? Oh, we know, it's because you still believe in loss.

Imagine that prior to your birth into this reality, you intended to explore the dynamics of many various relationships. This intention would create scenarios where some relationships would last a lifetime and others would be brief. Your only resistance to this is around the timing and duration of the encounter. For instance, if you are involved in one relationship (keeping it going past its normal course) you will not allow yourself to become involved in another relationship. The fear of loss causes you to believe that the relationship should continue. But remember, there is no such thing as loss.

You have some beliefs (based on the fears of others) that tend to limit your experience of these relationships. We suggest that you simply go with the flow, think about your fears (or concerns), and see what happens. We enjoy watching you enter these events with a little curiosity and anticipation. This is an excellent state of being. Allow what happens to happen and if you like what's happening then continue to explore all the facets of the relationship. If it fizzles out, don't worry. You can be assured another one is coming right behind it.

The duration of the relationship matters not. It's the intensity that you desire.

Joshua
