Relationships

The common notion in our world that one person can possess another in a relationship I find infantile and unspiritual. 

In a spiritual community we are all brothers and sisters and ideas such as possession of another and its related jealousies are seen for the fallen notions they are. Nobody owns anybody and to think they do is a form of mental and spiritual retardation.

Am I advocating for open relationships? 

Well, that's up to the individuals involved, but what I am advocating for is for people to not try to control anyone else and to allow them the freedom to experience life by being true to themselves, not by being slave to a controlling relationship.

If "fidelity" is freely and happily given by both individuals in a relationship that's great, but it shouldn't be forced or demanded.

However, if people are willing to put up with being controlled or being controlling in a relationship then no-one is going to stop them.
