Let's face it – break ups are BAD, to say the least. There are no two ways about. I have quite a lot of really tough and smart guys who stick to a relationship just fearing the worse – a break up. And there are guys who are out of it physically, but still very much in it mentally. After all it’s a matter of the heart.

The biggest complaint most people have about their relationships is that their partner doesn't really value them. Does that sound familiar?

Anyone who has crossed over would agree to that. It’s like when we cross over even the most insignificant things start niggling us. A small comment or a lame joke usually end up in the unchartered territory. And we usually don’t want to mention that we were offended by something that didn’t feel right to us. You see all the perceptions about grown-ups ‘discussing’ their problems are a farce. We don’t ‘discuss’ anything heavier than the weather.

A relationship tends to become boring if you start losing the intimacy and passion. You need to enjoy being together in an intimate way. Make your intimate time together special.

But couples think because they are not excited by their lover, it is over. No, it is just ready to begin if we can get out of the cave consciousness and into sacred love.

There is a big difference between pain and suffering. Pain is when you cut your hand. You don’t worry about your hand if you know it will get better. Suffering is when you’re not sure that your hand will heal, and you worry about what is going to happen. In relationship, pain comes and goes, and this is normal. Suffering in relationship comes when you hold back love because you are worried about whether your relationship will survive the pain.

The speed of life is complex, exciting and wonderful, but if this is at the cost of love, then the ego has won and love has lost. In our modern world this ego can easily overtake love so we must learn to stop, really stop and be still with our beloved, to turn up. So learning the art of stillness is a major key to sustaining sacred relationships amongst this busy-ness.

We often talk a lot about women-scams. These ladies meet men in the Internet and start telling they are absolutely empty and need so much!… Mother is gonna have an operation, father needs a new wheelchair, sister cannot continue her education and brother is desperate to start his own busyness (of course in a year it is going to grow up and you are certain to have your interests, trust her!), and she… she is modest and needs nothing, perhaps, except... payment for using Internet, translator service, visa, plain ticket...
