The crucible of human evolution

It is within the crucible of family and friends that we are able to learn how to listen to our inner wisdom, choose to follow its guidance, and realize our personal evolution. It is our family, friends and community who nurture our growth as children and who are our predominant relationships as we live our lives. We all grow up under different circumstances; there are many types of families who have chosen to share their lives together. Many of us are fortunate enough to be part of a family established by partners whose purpose is to give the gift of life to their children and nurture their growth. It is the environment provided by the family’s partners that is a primary factor in creating an environment of love within the family home, and together with the nurture of relationships with friends and the community facilitates our ability to learn and evolve and better achieve our daily and life purposes.

Relationships within a person’s crucible have varying levels of oneness. The definition of oneness I believe is relevant to the relationships within the crucible is “a strong feeling of closeness or affinity “One could say I really like the person, but I don’t really know why. I believe it’s important to have a strong feeling of oneness between a couple who choose to spend their life together, there are varying levels of oneness in our relationships with family and community and the higher the level oneness the greater the opportunity to learn from the relationship.

I believe it is the wisdom of our spirit that guides us to the relationships in which we can best learn and guides us away from relationships that don’t offer that possibility. Many moments, of large and small significance in our relationships, provide an opportunity for us to learn how to live a life of truth and love. One example I like is about a wife who accidentally crashed the family’s motorhome against a wall of their house and when her husband saw the damage, he chose to console her rather than criticize her.

Relationships have many levels of importance and give us many opportunities to care. A sustained continuum of caring within families and with friends and communities creates a climate of love. A climate in which in which old and young can learn to listen, trust and be guided by their inner wisdom and learn to be wiser and thus contribute positively to their personal evolution and incrementally to the evolution of humankind.
