You knew it, all the time...

Karma and its various manifestations are all aspects of the same, somewhat delusional, reflections on self-worth. The more you are led to introspection, without the presence of an external aspect, the less you are able to make the link-up with your presence in the material. Simply a question of sending the energy in the "wrong" direction where it serves other purposes than those of your own evolution.

We are not intelligent alone, not because we need confirmation or comparison, but because we can only establish a resonant (and therefore increasing vibrational frequency) state when placed in tandem with another similar presence. The only proviso is that for the two to "connect" they must be in phase. That is why gurus and mentors and teachers can only serve the limited function of indicating the way. They can neither take you there nor provide you access, as long as the relationship of respect that they share with you includes a hierarchical aspect.

The basis of teaching is sharing and that goes both ways. So how to enter into this synergistic symbiosis? That is the reason that we have the natural need to form a couple with our significant other. Respect and intimacy go hand in hand in more ways than one. Getting there can be a lot of fun, but the pay-off comes when you realize that the ultimate connection relies on respect and openness. Fulfill that contract and the sky, and higher, is the limit.
