Life Outside The Bedroom – Couples As Entanglements Of Emergent Morphogenic Fields
Life Outside the Bedroom – Couples As Emergent Morphogenic Fields
When I have counseled with couples in the past, I have noted that no matter how difficult, turbulent, or seemingly negative a relationship is, I see an absolute entanglement and interconnectedness in the couple. One woman said, “I am an Aries and he is a Scorpio! I don’t know why we are attracted to each other. We seemingly can’t stay happy, but we need each other somehow so much. And the longer we are together, the stronger the attraction and the more deeply entangled we become.”
The philosophy behind website – astrologygetalong.com, is that there are not “cursed combinations”, but often, “challenging relationships” that are intended to bring the individuals in the relationship to a new and higher level. Sexual attraction and romantic involvement are much more complex and powerful than a simple biological “sex drive” or compatibility – compelling each other into each others arms. The making of a couple – the coming together of two distinct individuals – has powerful psychological, emotional and spiritual implications. There is so much more going on with a couple outside of the bedroom!
“Entanglements of Mind”
Rupert Sheldrake, the British Biologist and Revolutionary Thinker, has developed theories on “morphic resonance”, “morphic fields” and “emergent fields”. He has studied animals and humans for years and has developed the concept that morphogenic fields (like magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields) are actually a part of reality and govern and affect so much of what we see and feel around us. From telepathy to learning, he has conducted studies showing that these fields appear to exist from the very small (birds and cats and dogs) to personal and social, to sun, planets and stars and the cosmos. There is much to explain and understand about this, but the point is that we are dealing with ways of being and communicating which are much more vast than the materialistic way we see ourselves.
How this affects astrology is not only exciting, but also theoretically fascinating as a way of explaining how astrology works, and how the soul, (a field in itself) is a product of the larger field of the solar system and thence, how those individuals relate to one another on earth. How we get our horoscope, as a product of the larger field and our souls interaction with it, begs for more thought and speculation.
The 78 potential combinations of sun signs truly create templates of growth, love and relationships. When we form couples, we bring the field of one and “entangle” it, and create what we call a couple, then what we call a family, and those small fields which we actually create and manufacture, then interrelate with the social groups and entities and fields all around us. These entanglements of mind are actually “new creations” that are fabricated as we live.
“Breakin’ Up Is Hard To Do”
There are so many “heart break” love songs in the world that they out populate the world. It is almost that the entanglement that we do down here is so powerful and so normal that you would think that we would do it with less angst and less passion. But that is perhaps the key. The passion and angst may not only be from the pain of possibly or actually losing each other, but also from the pain of getting along. And, it is strenuous getting along, because we are not only watching our partner trying to get along with us, we are going through the change of becoming new. Humanity is in a state of evolution and development. It is always a new day, so the sun and the stars and the Beyond are asking, no, demanding that we continually engage, and continually grow. Transformation is the point, not just peaceful happiness. We are to be joyfully happy true, but the goal is continual growth and transformation., And we do it, inside these fields that we create as couples.
All of what we do as couples is fantastic and powerful and life changing. However, what we are considering here is not “paranormal, it is normal, and it is not supernatural, it is natural”. When I heard Sheldrake saying this during one of his lectures, a “Eureka” hit my lips. As couples engaged in the act of making new fields that have never existed before, we need to bring less pain and anxiety to the challenge, and more hopeful willingness. Its not paranormal, its normal. It’s not supernatural, its natural. Study your mate. Study yourself. See how the admixture is becoming and entanglement of goals, issues, plans, topics and journeys.
Kids – The Ultimate Demonstration of Our Entanglement
One woman recently told me: “Oh well, it’s been hard and its been work, but its what we wanted, and its what we both keep on wanting. And there is this matter of three wonderful kids that are a pretty cool combination of us. It’s all been worth it.” So, as you contemplate how to make a certain astrological combination work, realize there is a big thing happening to you. If the relationship is more than casual, and it is a committed combination, you need to think about the demands upon both parties, what efforts are being made, the sincerity and depth of the love being shared, and realize the “kids” of your relationship, even if you don’t have kids, are the results of your union, the happiness it brings to you and others, and the richness of the entanglement and how you are making a new thing together. When we talk about “getting along”, we are not talking about love techniques, being pleasant and polite or not hurting each others feelings, we are talking about a truly creative act that we are soulfully engaged in every day. It makes you reverent and gleeful all at once, and shows us why relationships create such constant pressure. Astrologygetalong.com discusses these and other matters.

The most powerful romance doesn’t begin with physical action,
but rather with mental contemplation and expectation. It starts
with a simple idea or fantasy that develops into closer intimacy
between two connected partners. Having a satisfying romantic
relationship with your husband or wife takes some thought and
leg work, but it doesn’t have be burdensome. In reality,
becoming a romantic person can be fun, exciting and fulfilling
for you and your spouse.
And if you’re truly committed to making it work, romance will
become second nature for you. All you need is:
# a willing heart to invest the time,
# access to a computer,
# and maybe a little creativity.
If you’re a little skeptical, don’t worry, I started with only
one of the three too. Here are three keys that have worked for
my husband and me.
1. Romance of the mind begins when the sun comes up, not
after it goes down. If you want have a successful romance
with your husband or wife, start the day thinking about what
your partner likes or wants most. Maybe it’s a specific request,
a deed, or a special gift. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but it does
need to be relevant to your relationship. Drop hints throughout
the day to build expectancy. Some suggestions are short and
sweet (or sexy) notes, photos, or voice/text messages. The idea
is to show that you’re listening, to give your honey a sense of
desirability and to build up his/her receptiveness for
affection. (Notice I did not say sex per se.)
2. Romance of the mind is ritualistic, not boring or
repetitive, but endearing. I recently read an article about
couples who love having fun with each other.
(http://women.msn.com/a460717.armx?GT1=6920) The one thing that
they all had in common was that they had certain rituals that
they enjoyed doing together. When you have a certain ritual that
you and your partner share, it gives you something to look
forward to throughout the day, week, month or year.
Something my husband and I do to wind down our day is chat over
tea, coffee, or chocolate (in the winter) and smoothies (in the
summer). Sometimes we have music in the background, sometimes
not. Sometimes it leads to more, sometimes not. But this
practice has gotten us through some tough times spiritually,
emotionally, physically, mentally and even professionally.
3. Romance of the mind is well-planned but has a feeling of
spontaneity. One of the movies that I truly enjoyed this
year was Hitch. He had a way of making romance look easy, but he
wasn’t perfect. He planned, but he wasn’t rigid. And when his
plans fell apart, he could go with the flow. If only we all
could be so talented. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the
good news is that we can.
Just plan around what you and your wife or husband like doing.
If you like elaborate evenings for two, go for it. If you love
to travel, there are plenty of romantic places to see. If you
like staying home and playing board games– there are plenty of
nice (and some naughty) ones out there. Just plan and see where
you’ll end up.
When we lived in Brooklyn, my husband and I used to plan walking
dates in Prospect Park (the Central Park of Brooklyn) or near
the water along lower Manhattan. We’d have our meeting time and
place, but no specific agenda in mind. Sometimes we heard
musicians. Sometimes we just enjoyed nature. One time we even
had an unexpected fireworks show. It was spectacular against the
purple glow cast on the water. I was certain that he knew about
it. He denies it to this day.
Hope this post inspires you to make an effort and draws you
closer to your spouse

In today’s world it has been undeniable that the reliance one has on his computer. Yet the benefits are unless. Internet speeds are rising and it is now more obvious that the ability for one to download and watch films online is certainly no longer a myth but a real possibility.
However many often argue that they find it difficult to look for the links to watch the movies that they want are often extremely limited. In fact, films are usually watched on the big players such as Youtube and Metacafe that have no quality control or proper system that determines the quality of movies produced. As a result, it may seem increasingly difficult to find free full films online in licensed in legal terms.
Hence, I recommend you to use film membership sites that offer the direct links to all the essential movies catering to your needs of any movie genre from romance to action and even comedy. Even most new movies are featured in their site offered for downloading and streaming purposes.
It is important that you consider the offers given to you through these membership websites as there might be long term savings involved as you compare this to watching on regular cinema. Nonetheless, do not miss out on the opportunities. However do take note that it is necessary to identify the movies and details of the films you want to watch as it may be difficult given the wide variety these membership sites offer.
Some research must be done on your part to search for reviews of the films you watch to ensure that you enjoy only the best films online.
