have the answer and the other person is not listening” and these intensify egoism. This leads to
resentment, anger and greater frustrations and of course less communication on both sides.
Whether or not you are right or wrong there is always a need for understanding and forgiveness.
Also, there is always a need to be watchful of the ego and its exuberance even if you do hold
some insight which the other person does not yet see. So patience is an important virtue in a
relationship.
The pent up frustrations caused by society and its imposed roles such as “women should be
subservient,” and men should be the “bread winners,” etc. cause undercurrents of emotion which
manifest in negative ways in a relationship. A partner will expect a role which the other person
does not agree with. The idea that men are bread winners causes a man’s worth to be measured
by his “bread winning” capacity and not for the gifts of the Soul which he can express. A cultural
idea that “women are emotional” provides a weapon which men can use to belittle and
dehumanize women since they are not “evolved enough to control themselves.” In the attempt to
rise above the cultural pressures of being repressed for many centuries women may go overboard
to express independence and control so they may act more intellectually or abruptly in an effort
to compensate for their female qualities but not realizing that they are supplanting some good
qualities while trying to express new ones which they have previously been prevented from
discovering. In the desire to overcome the accusation of “not being sensitive enough” a man may
give into a woman’s demands so as not to seem too “rational” or “uncaring” and thus he may get
into problems that he might ordinarily have avoided had he used his intellect. Many times
couples become overly sensitive and begin to scrutinize their partners motive and their every
action. As soon as a “tone” in the voice is detected the conversation shifts from the original topic
to accusations. Then there is no listening or understanding. In this way a conversation sinks to
the level of animal competition wherein one partner gains points by “proving” that the other is
wrong and so on instead of concentrating on how to reach a mutual agreement in order to
improve the conditions of life. So what once sounded sweet, the voice of the mate, is now a
source of pain and annoyance. So marriage can be a hellish affair in which there is seldom peace.
Consider that this is like two mice competing in the forest over a hole in the ground which they
could share. They are distracted by their dispute and because of this they are unaware of the owl
which is watching them in the distance. Before they can blink the owl has swooped down and
carried them both away with her powerful claws. The two mice are two people in a negative
relationship and the owl is death which can come at any time to snatch them away from the
world which they are so proud of and the life which they hold so dear. At the time of death what
importance do your arguments have? All of these cultural pressures are ridiculous and indeed
pathetic when you realize that the Soul is neither male nor female and that in one incarnation a
man can be looking down on women and in another incarnation the same Soul, now as a woman,
is looking down on the male sex.
Many times people become proud of their delusions and their desires. They boast statements
like “I like this,” “I like that,” “I know where its at and nobody is going to tell me differently”
and so on. Consider the things you thought about ten years ago, are they the same today? What
has changed? The things you held to so proudly ten years ago have been swept away by new
things. What will happen in ten years from now? This should tell you that what people believe
today is only a relative reality and not absolute. This is because the human intellect is limited.
This is why there are always “new advances” in science. How would it be if one hundred years
