ADVICE FOR POLYAMORY or JEALOUSY BE GONE!
For all people who wish to engage in simultaneous multiple relationships (i.e., two or more lovers) but wish to eliminate the usual inherent problems (jealousy, primarily), I offer the following suggestions.
Begin with changing the manner in which you love. When you feel love for all, then you are free to accept love from whoever wishes to return the love you are sending out, no matter what form that takes. When you love no one person above all others, no one in particular, only then you are free to love all equally. And when you love all equally, you’re your life can be enriched that much more in a variety of ways, which include personal relationships. When this method of universal loving is mastered in life, then you achieve a state of being in which you are free to give and receive love in any form, at anytime, and with whomever you wish, all because you are not relying or are otherwise dependant upon just one person to fulfill your loving needs.
When love is mastered in this manner, then the concept of scarcity has no place to grow, for you have opened yourself up to love from all directions. The weed of jealously that grows from the erroneous belief of scarcity then has no place to sprout, much less grow.
In such a state of universal loving, all those involved in such types of relationships, know in their heart of hearts that there is enough of everything to go around in this life, and that includes love.
As hinted above, this belief of scarcity manifests in human relationships as common jealousy. Fear of there not being enough, greed in wanting more of what one has already been given—these are also other modes of expression that arise from a belief that there isn’t enough.
But what if one knew with a faith beyond faith that there was so much of everything to go around that it was literally boundless in supply, if one knew that no matter what demand was placed on the Source, it would ever remain limitlessly abundant? From where would jealously arise then? Nowhere.
Then at least in the context of human relationships, heaven would be brought down to earth, for the Source is ever-eager to fulfill us. It is patiently waiting for us to just surrender our illusions about what is available to us. And what is available to us?
Anything & Everything, instead of only one thing in particular.
