Gary and I awoke to church bells on Sunday morning after the antics on Downer Avenue the night before and absorbed the brown shag of the RV after just a few hours of sleep. I gruffly reminded Gary of his transgressions from the back of the RV hoping he would attend service and leave me aloneas he muddled around up front and I tried to go back to sleep but ultimately ended up joining him at Starbucks across the street on Downer Ave in Milwaukee at about 7:30 a bit tired and very dehydrated.

I used the wi-fi and Google Maps to plan out our day – I would drop Gary, his bike and his backpack off on a back road near Racine where he’d have a 50 or-so mile ride home. I would then continue on my path to Chicago for the inaugural Chicago Criterium – another big-money Chicago-land race – this time right downtown around Grant Park.

The race was set to start at 12:30, so we aimed to head out at 9am to give me ample time to make Chicago and drop Gary off enroute without using Chicago mafia drop-off tactics (i.e. pushing him out at 45mph). Alas it ended up closer to 9:30 before we headed out – but still – I had 3 hours to go 90 miles…  plenty of time – right?

You guessed it – wrong! I dropped Gary off in Racine around 10am and then hit construction on 294 and then the tolls (no IPASS for a multi-wheel vehicle) and my stress levels began their usual rise as the clock ticked on.

Meanwhile along the way I had realized that I was completely dehydrated. I seems so simple to stay hydrated, but it really requires a significant level of discipline when your body can lose over a gallon an hour during an intensive race effort. The wines and wheelies the night before didn’t help. So as I hovered in traffic, I began to aggressively imbibe those 16.9 ounce Dasani water bottles stacked beside me. I drank two in the morning and then two more before dropping Gary off and then proceeded to drink 7 more before I hit downtown. Only after 11 bottles of water (about a gallon and a half) did I start to feel somewhat hydrated. Obviously what comes in must go out – Gatorade doesn’t make those wide mouthed bottles for nothing…

Meanwhile with all the traffic, it was 11:30 when I exited Ohio street off 90 for downtown. Still – I had an hour to go 3 miles – no problem right?

WRONG again – Closing down Grant Park created quite a traffic quagmire. The RV is not exactly suited to traffic and Michigan Avenue was down to one lane and each light had a single policeman waving traffic off to sidestreets mostly and allowing only a couple of vehicles to pass straight through. As it turns out I would have been better off on the sidestreets, but I was hoping to park right on the course – wishful thinking.

At one point the lanes narrowed to one, and traffic followed the zipper effect of notching into the single lane – one car left, one car right. As it became my turn to merge, the car next toand slightly behind me began to tailgate the car in front of it – essentially ‘taking my place’ in the rotation – so typical of Chicago drivers.

The thing is – he was driving a 2500 lb, $40,000 car. Meanwhile I’m driving a 10,000lb, $5000 RV. It was silly I know, but I was in racing mode was determined not to lose my spot in the peleton – so I shoved my bumper within an inch of his shiny sleek car doors while looking calmly and arrogantly down at his passenger – who nervously shouted something unintelligible to the driver. Suddenly the car rocked and bucked from the stopping power of its disc brakes and I established my rightful place in the lane. I smiled grimly and raced on. Seriously I could have driven right over that little thing like a monster truck – don’t mess with an RV driver who races criteriums – you will lose…

I dodged through traffic like a tortoise strapped to the back of a rabbit and watched my countdown clock go from 50 to 40 to 30 to 20 before finally making my way back West to find a pay parking lot. After I finally found parking, I had 9 minutes before the start of the race.

Meanwhile, during various stops at lights I had run into the back of the RV and had gathered and changed into my racing suit – shorts, jersey, gloves, shoes, and helmet. Had I been wearing this getup during the traffic altercation, it probably would have helped convince the driver to give way…

I exited the RV, pumped up my tires, and brought my available cash and a credit card in my pocket and raced to the start/finish to register.

The registration guy was a bit amused… “Lets see – race starts in 5 minutes – hope you can pin your numbers on that quick. That’ll be $50 - $40 plus a $10 late registration fee.”

“Oh man – I only have $45…” 

“OK,” he says, “you owe me $5.” “Now let me see your license…” 

Oh boy…“Uh – that’s back in the RV…”

“OK you don’t have enough money and you don’t have a license and the race starts in 5 minutes… I suppose you’d like me to allow this anyway right?”

So I say, “tell you what – you give me the registration packet and I’ll run to the RV after I get my number on and show you my license before I hit the line.”

“Deal.”

So I stripped down quickly, put four sloppy pins in for my number and threw away the second number and bike number and then raced to the RV and grabbed my license.

I swung back through and showed him my license only to hear those perfectly joyous words, “don’t worry – they are running late.”  FINALLY!

I got in a short warmup and then lined up with the field. There were 105 riders. I know that because my number was 105. Lots of money on the line and I was still tired and lethargic but I liked the course – two small sprinter hills and a relatively short (200m) finish stretch.

The first 46 miles were a mind numbing grind. The peleton stayed mostly together and sometimes stretched out on the backstretch and it was sometimes pretty hard. I actually considered dropping out about a dozen times in the race. I wasn’t completely burnt, but it was a weird sort of boring suffering – the race seemed to stretch on forever.

Suddenly, and finally, it was one lap to go and I yet again experienced that odd and faithful resurgence of energy and focus. My time. I slotted up to 30^th on the long homestretch. Up and over the first sprinter hill into 20^th and then into the single file high speed backstretch… waiting, waiting and then a hard move up the outside prior to corner three and as we entered the second to last straightaway, I’m suddenly, perfectly, in 3^rd position with 450 meters to go and one small hill.

I was fresh. I had languished in the back for 46 miles and began to notice in the final 10 miles how quickly riders were going backward on this short hill on the short straightaway prior to the homestretch and finish line. For some reason these small hills hurt the roadies but allow me to leverage my strengths.

Time slowed – I was on the outside of a single file line riding the hip of rider #2 entering turn 3. We were traveling at about 34mph and bouncing over cracked pavement. This was considerably faster than prior laps and both riders up front used the entire width of the road to exit the turn, swinging all the way into the sloping gutter of the curb. Their nervousness was evident.

I followed the wheels to the outside, still feeling the draft. I looked up at the small climb facing us and knew exactly what was to come next. As our trajectories flattened out, I would hit the afterburners and use the 6 seconds of my tiny nuclear reactor to leap past riders 1 and 2 and hum into the lead. I would scream over the top of the hill and launch into the short downhill into the final corner at 40+ mph, flat on my top tube, leaning hard.

I would start pedaling early on the exit of the corner over the bumpy pavement and then,  using the final reserves of my fading strengths, I would streak to the line and cross well ahead of the field for the win. There was no doubt now, only the details of executing the plan.

All these thoughts accumulated and resonated in a half second of time as we exited the corner. All I had to do was exit the corner safely and then jump up the inside – my one little superpower, my little nuclear reactor ready to finally be lit.

And then, of course, it happened. Rider #2 clipped the curb, pulled out a foot, and meandered right into my launch trajectory.

I slammed on both brakes locking up the bike, grazing his back wheel. Riders went winging by, the hum and chatter of their wheels on the cracked pavement giving evidence to my backward motion.

I re-launched my explosion – but instead of coming from a 34mph slingshot, I fought the ropes against a deceleration to 25mph. Still, my little nuclear reactor got me back in the game and I shot back from 15^th to 7^th over the hill as we headed into the final corner.

Lined up neatly behind the contrails of draft provided by the riders up front, victory was still in reach except for that little nagging weakness of mine – I only have one 6 second sprint to use – and I had used it up. I had nothing, absolutely nothing left and drifted across in 7^th, head down, disappointed. I was doubly disappointed when I realized I had completely forgotten to turn on the video-cam.

Still, I could taste it… I remembered what it was like to launch at the right time on the right course and I knew it was possible – completely possible that I could win a big race like this. I was hungry for it.

As it turns out I only had to wait a couple of weeks…

Next year though, Chicago is mine.

Pero ¿podría ser que para el 2010 tuviésemos una nueva película llamada He-Man: Masters of the Universe? (no se han matado con el título)

First up, are our Essential Guides to Getting a Job for Postgraduate Masters, and for PhDs :

• Getting a Job For Postgraduate Masters 
  Friday 10th October, 10.00-10.50am, Zochonis Building, Lecture Theatre A
   
• Getting a Job For PhD Researchers
  Friday 10th October, 12noon-12.50pm, Schuster Building, Bragg Lecture Theatre

We'll be covering "who employs postgrads?", how to "sell" your postgraduate qualification to employers, how to find jobs (including using agencies and contacts), and how the Careers Service can help you.

The Masters session now says that it is full, but as I mentioned in the last post, we do get a lot of people signing up for presentations and then not turning up on the day, so if you want to go, it's probably still worth turning up ... though 2 years ago, we did have Masters postgrads sitting in the aisles (we've got a bigger lecture theatre this year).

Next week, the focus is on CVs and applications :

• CVs and Applications for Postgraduate Masters
  Friday 17th October, 10.00-10.50am, Zochonis Building, Lecture Theatre A
   
• CVs and Applications for PhD Researchers
  Friday 17th October, 12noon-12.50pm, Zochonis Building, Lecture Theatre C

After that, it's Interviews and Assessment Centres which I'll post about closer to the talks (or see the Talks Programme if you want to get it in your diary now).

I'll see you tomorrow if you're a PhD researcher, and my colleague, Maddie, will see all those Masters packing Zochonis LT A (if it's really packed, we can always put on an extra talk).

If, to be exact why I asked this; it's because I am ninth grader, and my parents asked what did I want to be in a few years. I said, to be an author of novels - they said that should not be it - there must be a career where my studies have to point me to. I am not the type who would stuck my nose and cram in all the subjects in my head, but if I'm feeling studious, I would do that though - but that's not who I want to be.

And they said, if I choose one that doesn't require much strength from my current school - I will be moved to another school, and that; wouldn't exactly be a thing that I'm pleased about since it had been long since I had stayed in one school for more than one year. (Yes, before this I never stayed in a school for more than a mere year except when I was in elementary - until I was a fourth grader I had to move in another school for one year, and then the other and finally when I was a seventh grader I get to say in this CURRENT school of mine which I dearly love.)

They obviously admire a friend of mine who graduated high school when she was 15, yes, she did. I wasn't exactly impressed to be honest, anyone could do that, even I could do that if only I wasn't trying to be who I want to be and if I wasn't the type who wouldn't do what other people tells me to do. I understand that the future is so important, but why do make such a fuss about it? I can do anything I want, and I live by this quote:-

Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. - Albert Schweitzer

Well then, done with the pretty long ramblings - I'm still trying to figure out what to say to my parents. They are certainly pushy at this, in which I'm not exactly pleased with. Any answer to my question?

---

I would rather do something I'd enjoy, and it changes in time. I'm like, in 9th grade, and my sister's in 8th grade, my younger bro in like 4th grade and the other one still in kindergarten!
But whenever I say there's no point of asking now, they'd say - then what is the point of you going to school?

To be honest, the point of me going to school is because I was told to go to school... But in another way, a point of going to school to me is opening up life into a new chapter, for me to discover what everything else means in life, not just studying.

And I've thought of being either an English teacher or a chemistry teacher. :)) But I fear that they think being a teacher is not as good as any other career. I personally think that being a teacher or an author is the best choice, because being a teacher and an author is like sharing a part of yourself. Teaching other people too. That's the bst thing I could think of why I should be a teacher since I was always the one to teach my friends' things. (Like love tips, friendship tips, life tips and all that. It's nice to share, you know.) Or if those won't work it, I'll work as a Psychologist.

Right. I took up with a quiz at iVillage and ended up with this result:-

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

* Novelist
* Photographer
* Vet
* Medical Technician
* Paralegal
* Geologist
* Marine Biologist
* Graphic Designer
* Online Content Developer
* Webmaster
* Computer Security
* Producer
* Computer Programmer
* Technical Writer
* Systems Analyst
* Meteorologist
* Artist

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.

You like to be involved deeply in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others at all costs.

You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like things to be left in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.

You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them.

Seriously, novelist as the top one; always my top priority career that I'd most likely to be if I was a good one. 
So, yeah... I guess you're right. But then, maybe I'll stick up with the list for the while. To just back myself up later when asked the question about my career again.
Now I have a HUGE list to crack down into one.

(Note that for most people running speed work is the most intense physical activity of triathlon training, as such make sure you are ready for it and that you have no medical issues which should keep you away from such intense activity. Proceed at your own risk.)

When at my peak in the mid-1990s, I hit the track hard to get my running speed work in. And it worked well indeed.

But as I got older I found that doing track speed work was by far the biggest cause of training related injuries.

Part of this was related to having to be in the appropriate shape to a much higher degree before my body was able to handle running speed work. I used to be able to get away with a lower level of conditioning, however as a Master I have to have the right build up in terms of training time and carefully increase the intensity of speed work to ensure I don't get injured.

But I think part of the problem was running on the track itself. The reality is running intervals on a track is a poor proxy for the type of running you'll need to do in triathlon. If you get fast running on a track, you are just that -- a faster runner on a track. Its different for triathlon's road or trail running environs.

It starts with the fact that you need to run in an oval, typically always done in one direction. I've found that this creates a situation where I exert much greater force on parts of my body when I power through the turns on the track, quite frankly a type of force infrequently encountered in triathlon races thus not very transferable to race day. And given the single direction run on a track, this means constantly working that one side of the turn, thus creating a sligh imbalance in my running style. And I've gotten injured from this before as my body was not conditioned to handle this higher lateral force.

The workarounds for this are two-fold...first is to change directions between sets when running on the track. If I do a track workout, I run half of the speed work in one direction, the half in the other. This ends up working both sides of the body equally. The other is to ease up on the speed when going through the turns, which greatly reduces the chance for injury.

The other area that I've found produces injuries is getting quickly up-to-speed from a standing start. Going from standing still to high-intensity running is a recipe for producing injuries. The workaround here is instead to do a flying start where you moderately build up your pace to be "at speed" when you cross the starting point for the interval. While it will produce faster intervals, it is actually more true to what a split would be on a tri run as that's a flying start as well.

The overall upshot though is that the track is not the best place to do your speed work. In my opinion its much more effective to do speed work on a road course doing the same kind of "straight ahead" running perhaps with gentle turns that you'll typically encounter in a race.

This means finding a path appropriately measured out so you can interval work. I'm lucky enough to have a paved trail that has a section marked in 1/8 mile intervals, thus setting me up to use it for speed work anywhere from 2 miles down to 1/8.

So now speed work feels much more like the actual race, and combined with the flying start the sources of potential injury have been minimized.

The one additional area to potentially practice is the abrupt turn-around typically encountered on out-and-back triathlon runs (having to do a 180 pivot at the dreaded orange cone) - a unique aspect of tri race running that track speed work doesn't help with. So the icing on the cake would be to carefully practice / build up doing drills around a simulated "cone pivot turn" to be effective at coming in and out of a turn-around. But again, that's icing. The cake is speed work on road race running conditions.

Ooh, speaking of books - I bought myself a present today. I didn't mean to, but I spotted it while I was in Thalia having a browse at what kids books they've got (I need to start buying Christmas presents now if I'm going to afford them all!) And I've wanted it for ages as well. Are you all intrigued now? SHould I tell you what I bought?
It's Thankyou for the Memories by Cecelia Ahern. Yes, I am aware that her books are pretty much Chick Lit, but who cares. I love them. And they're not half as brainless as some of the stuff that's out there. Anyway, wooo something new to read. And for only 6 euros as well - bloody cheap for an English book in Germany!

Right, I'm off to do something useful now.... errm, after I've caught up on everyone's blogs that is...

• Credit Derivatives Workshop, Credit Suisse - aimed at quantitative Masters and PhDs (no prior finance knowledge required), this "by invitation" workshop in London introduces the world of credit derivatives, global modelling and trading. You'll get the chance to ask all those difficult questions like "why are we in this mess?" and "what can I do, if I join you, to put it all right?". It's on the same day as the Science, Engineering and Technology Fair (22nd Oct) so you'll need to choose which you prefer. E-mail them by 15th October (details on the weblink above) to register your interest.
   
• UBS Investment Bank Operations/Technology roles :
   
  "Women in IT" dinner - it's easy to be cynical about the City professing an interest in attracting more women, but UBS, and particularly their operations/technology groups, have a good track record with us here. They've been big supporters of our Pathways PhD career options event for the last two years and we got the good news that this year they recruited 4 of our graduates - 3 of them with PhDs, 2 of them women and all of them international. If you're a woman in an IT related discipline (could also be other science/engineering with IT content) and want to talk to UBS over dinner at Malmaison on 21st October, apply to them by 13th October (details on the weblink above).
   
  If you're not a woman (or don't fancy dinner, or working in operations) there's no need to miss out - you can always meet UBS at our Finance, Business & Management Fair on 23rd October.
   
  UBS are also doing an evening workshop on Operations on 16th October. As with a lot of presentations, this one filled up early with students registering to attend, so technically, I shouldn't be bothering to tell you about it. On the other hand, I do know that normally, a lot of people sign up for presentations and then don't turn up on the night. I also know that for these sorts of employer presentations, we don't take a register on the door ... OK, you're smart, you're postgrads, do you need any more hints than that?

There are rumours of more PG events to come - I'll let you know when I hear about them!

There is a banquet of information available on the Ascension process. Here are some of my favorite websites in no particular order. Use your own discretion ~ whatever resonates with you...

As the Grand Illusion is dismantling

before our eyes,

The time is ripe for creating an authentic world rooted in Peace & Love... 

Commit to your Ascension

&

Self Mastery

Time is short. No longer are the days when a student can spend many years in contemplation and testing to become enlightened. As time accelerates, you have already been through your tests, and you know what you know. It is from this point that you must dedicate your very self and be-ing-ness to the Light. You know what time it is.

It is time to act.

In fact it has been bothering me so much that I have finally taken the time out of my busy life to sit and think about what I would do if I were to loose my job or have to take a pay cut etc. In fact I asked myself what I wanted to do in life. To me that is HUGE.

So I started off thinking. For those who have managed to find yourself reading this post I am a software engineer with an MS in Computer Science and have been working in this field for the past 6 years. My area of expertise lies in ASP.NET/C# and SQL Server. In the past 6 years I have played various roles from team member to technical lead and having worked in small sized teams I have always been involved in every phase of the development life cycle directly.

Most of my peers have headed off to become project/product managers. It seems like that is what everyone in my position is eyeing these days. The super-ambitious have headed off into the entrepreneurial world. And I am still right here ... asking myself "What do you want to do? What do you want to be 10 years from now?"

My options as I see it are:

• Train myself for a Project Manager position that will eventually lead in to middle management positions.
• Train to become a Technical/Solution Architect and eventually become an Independent Technical Consultant (at the architect level)
• Go back to school for an MBA that will put me into management positions later.
• Keep looking for that big idea and start my own company.

These options basically tell me that I have to look way deep into myself and ask some questions relating to my personality. A few that come easily are:

• I have always put family before career but when required will I be motivated and ambitious enough to reverse my priorities?
• Am I a creator/implementer or am I a manager?
• After 2 master's degrees do I want to go back to school?
• Am I a risk-taker?
• In a pool of techies I know that I am easily an above average communicator but where do I stand in a pool of managers/MBAs etc.?
• Should I get into e-learning? I do have my second Masters in Educational Tech. so I am not a stranger to that emerging field.

If you are or have been in a similar situation I would love to hear your comments. I would be particularly interested to know on the approach you had taken to resolve this issue in your career.

OCTOBER 14 , details below…

Throughout history, in all cultures and belief systems, it has been written and spoken of: The End Times, The Great Shift, and the end of the Mayan calendar. It is the Ascension. It is a planetary, and even galactic event as The Ascended Masters of all religions and denominations, as well as Lightworkers everywhere, are supporting and assisting us through this transitional time. We are on the cusp of the Thousand Years of Peace written of in The Book of Revelation by John Zebedee.

A great many books are dedicated to this subject, and I haven’t been called to write one, (yet) so here is a short list of what it is:

·       The planet and its inhabitants are in the process of a collective raising of our vibration to move out of the 3^rd Dimension and into the 5^th.

·       It is bringing Heaven to Earth ~ the realization of our highest and best potentials we have collectively visualized and prayed for.

·       The Spiritualizing of matter: the descent of our Higher Self, or Spirit, to embody the physical form.

To accomplish this we must, among other things:

·       Clear the negative ego,

·       Detox the body,

·       Rebuild the Light body,

·       Love and embrace all aspects of self ~ including

   the Shadow Self, (or what would be perceived as weakness or faults) as an expression of God.

·       Retrain ourselves to let our High Heart and Joy lead us in place of the logical/rational mind. The High Heart is the Chakra between the Throat and Heart Chakras. This is where the Pink Diamond Heart resides, our Highest God expression of us. When you see renderings of The Christ and Mother Mary with the crowned heart on fire, it is always on the High Heart.

·       We must consistently reach out to our Spirit Self, offering the Spiritual Handshake, as it eases into physicality so our consciousness and sub-consciousness are in sync.

We are doing all of these things already at a Higher awareness even if we are not consciously aware of it yet. The time has come to choose the At~one~ment within and without. Commit to your Ascension and that of the planet, and be the Master you are intended to be. In each of the Intend to Ascend classes;

·       I will give you easy, practical, and Self-Empowering tools you can use to maintain Peace of mind, body and Spirit to ease through these changes with grace.

·       I will lead a meditation to activate and accelerate your personal Ascension, and our Ascension as a group. These meditations are quite powerful, the effects are felt immediately and can last for days.

·       We will share, discuss Ascension symptoms, and include a Q&A.

·       And so much more…

• I am available for private sessions as well. My contact info is below.

You feel the change. You hear the call. Take the next step… 

Master your energies as the ‘shift happens’ and

flow into a New Beginning with grace and ease.

Para hacer todo más fácil queremos resumir los pasos más importantes para realizar la inscripción en el máster deseado en este documento.

The trailor/teaser which I had posted yesterday is now out in good quality and with audio. The previous was taken using a video camera, but this doesn't seem to look as if it were taken using a camera. This is not the theatrical view of the trailor. That is going to be different from this.

Well, the video couldn't be added to the post, so you would have to click on the link provided below to view it.

Sorry!!

There are two trailors. One is short and the other one is slightly longer. I hope you enjoy!!

Click here to view the trailor.

I liked it! Did you ??

Some screen shots were also inserted in the official web site of the movie, "dbthemovie.com"

Update :- Since, something was wrong with the link to the trailors I gave before, I've given direct links to the "dbthemovie.com" where the teaser trailor is present. Will try to get the high quality trailors and post them as soon as possible.

Some of us notice an unhealthy pattern in our adult partnerships, and we can’t seem to figure out why we keep attracting the same partner in different bodies. The root cause of this may be the acting out of our parental relationships in hopes of healing that within us, which we perceive as wounded. As like attracts like, we unconsciously attract partners who desire to heal the wounds within them. These wounds may stem from abuse, neglect, or an incomplete bond with a parental figure. This is not a new story, and we can see all around us couples who are more like mother and son, or father and daughter, than equals.

In our search for “mother” or “father” through humanized forms, we tend to compartmentalize partners into roles we believe they should fit; a husband should be the provider, a wife should be the nurturer, for example. While these are the traditional roles we have taken on, to be a truly independent being we must provide for and nurture ourselves. We truly are whole and complete beings within. Our self-love is not reliant on another. When we act from that knowing, we are then able to share the overflow with those in our life in a give-and-take built on a foundation of sheer desire to share, as opposed to wanting our needs to be filled. 

For a man, women will respond to your inner child’s need for nurturing, but your mother cannot be your lover. In the mother-child relationship equal balance can never be reached, as each believes they are in control. The child cries out, the mother responds with comfort – the child thinks he controls the mother’s actions. The child ‘misbehaves’ and the mother withholds love until he acts in an “acceptable” manner – the mother thinks she controls the child’s actions.

For a woman, men will respond to your inner need to be provided for, for attention and approval. If he does not give in the way expected it is perceived that he is withholding love, and a woman in turn will de-value herself. We women can sometimes go to great lengths to win that approval, often feeling worse about ourselves in the end.     

A mature, healthy relationship cannot take place in either context. When we withhold love from anyone we are withholding it from ourselves. When we attempt to control others through our expectations of them, we cannot see them as they truly are. When our happiness, our love, is reliant on another person, it is then we find ourselves in error. 

Our ideal “parent” will never be found in any human form because he or she does not exist, and we will be disappointed repeatedly until we realize this. The only true parent we have ever had – and in Truth will ever have- is God. No man or woman can ever give us what we seek, or live up to our expectations, because no man or woman is GOD itself! Once we allow God to fulfill that role for us - when we become “as dependant as a child” on God to fulfill all of our needs - we will truly be free to stop seeking it from a partner, or anyone.

Whatever symbol or metaphor you use in your mind to envision God playing this part for you (if you want to think of it as Mother Earth, an Archetypical Father, etc.) is good. However, you have to be willing to connect to it and ALLOW it to BE THAT FOR YOU. This is where true maturity occurs, knowing you need none else than God. In reality, there is nothing else.

When we cease expectation of a partner as mother, father, caretaker, provider, nurturer, etc., we will be able to see people as they truly are, stop attempting to control the relationships, stop expecting them to fulfill our needs, and see it for what it is. We will not want to withhold love, but give it as freely as it is given to us. We will be able to let things be. That is TRUE POWER! The need to manipulate people and situations stems from insecurity about what we are, regardless of what the ego tells you. What you are is a beautiful child of God, with a love so deep you could heal the world, and what you’ll find when you give that love away is that there is more than enough for you too.

The fear that we are bound to someone by loving him or her is a false belief; the ability to love without expectation is FREEING! People will walk in and out of your life, but if you love them, and allow things to just be, you’ll find that everyone is right where they belong. You have lost nothing, because no matter what we tell ourselves we cannot possess anyone in any case. How can you lose something you never possessed? It is impossible. Change is the nature of Hell. Love is changeless. Amen.

From A Course In Miracles: “I loose the world from all I thought it was. What keeps the world (you) in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the world he sees is real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by questioning his thoughts effects. It is when their source is raised to question that the hope of freedom comes to him at last.”

“There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release.”

What you will find when you allow God to be your only parent is that you are accepted, provided for, nurtured, and loved beyond measure exactly the way you are. You need not do anything to win God’s love. He gives loves freely simply because you are His child.  You will begin to see your ‘earthly parents’ as adults who acted from their own point of understanding, and let expectations go. Let go of past hurts and disappointments. Let God show you who and what you are. Your ‘earthly parents’ got you this far, let God take over from here, and bring you Home.
