Elevator Instructions... On Love and Sexual Relations
Do you know the relationship that you are all looking for? Do you know what it really is?
You want the relationship between you and you. And when you meet a person who looks fondly at you, or who is appreciative of you, or someone you look fondly upon, or someone you appreciate, it just hooks you up to your Inner Being, which is what you want all along.
So the relationship you are all looking for is the relationship between you and you. And everything else is just helpful in that, really.
Don’t you find that interesting? That what you really want is a reason to vibrationally connect with who you really are.
And so, you ask so much of people because you say to them, “You need to be the one who causes me to feel good.” And what we want to say to all of you is:
If any of you are without the relationship of your dreams right now, that’s a wonderful thing. Because now you have an opportunity to work on the relationship that really matters first and foremost. And then, in that connection, the relationship of your dreams will come.
But you are going to discover the relationship of your dreams is really your own Inner Being. It’s that infusion of clarity and confidence and wellness, that’s what you are reaching for.
And it is nice to have a human friend who holds you as their object of attention and adores you right into your connection. But we want you experience greater independence than that. We want you to say to you lovers, “I love you, but I don’t live for you. Because Source Energy flows through me. You are a catalyst to my wellbeing, but you are not essential to my wellbeing. Because I’ve got that figured out on my own. I have reached for thoughts that give me relief. And I have relieved myself all the way into my full connection of who I really am. And now we can just dance and play together.”
Can you feel how you take them off the hook? In other words, do you know how many men would flock to you.? (ALL OF THEM!) .if they knew that you would allow them to be as they are and you would not hold them responsible for your happiness.
That’s what everyone wants. How much bondage is there in believing that your happiness depends on me, so I’ve got to figure out what you want, and stand on my head in all those different ways, and it’s not even possible!
The greatest gift you can give anyone is to be happy. And we will take that further. The greatest gift you can give to any partner, past, present or future is to be so connected with who you truly are that they are irrelevant to your connection. And when they are irrelevant to your connection, then you are going to have a really good time together

Lina I feel something every time you write. So wonderful and deep. It’s all so very true. Thank you for being so real and inspirational!
linaji replied
Pam.. I would like to let you know that I used this quote.. from Abraham-Hicks.. I love all their books..and have come to understand that .. Nothing is more important.. than that I feel good.. and feeling good is just one next best thought away.. I so appreciate you Pam.. your art and your verve.. this work I have been doing has given me a freedom I have alway look for outside of me.. The freedom to know.. what ever I am thinking now ..that is not allowing me to feel relief, good… joy.. is not a problem. infact.. it is just another opportunity to be conscious of my thinking.. and when I become conscious of how my thoughts are feeling.. I can take a baby step to feeling better.. not jump to happiness perhaps.. just small small steps…then wham!! you are there.. in joy relief and a good way of living.. xoxoxo

Mary Ann Reilly
a beautiful series the visual art is so stunning. I do wonder though if love can be characterized as one thing (loving one’s inner self) or another. Mikhail Bakhtin (Russian literary theorist) wrote: I for myself, myself for Other. I appreciate the sentiment of being other(wise). I’m not sure this is in opposition of what you have written. Rather I hope to express a nuance in relationshiop to a theme of love.:-)
linaji replied
Ohh Mary.. your exquisite.. you seem to embrace all of Nuance.. you are a Nuance Queen in my eyes and heart..
thank you for your wise and wonderful thoughts.. I am not claiming to be right at all.. after all the writing is a quote not my own.. however.. I am living this experience I speak.. this is really happening in my life.. and i am blown away.. but.. as I said to Billy Boy.. btw.. if you do not know his work.. go.. he is utterly amazing artist.. as I told him.. I have not practiced this on a lover.. yet.. tee hee..

I think I read this and looked at this at exactly the right time on the right day of the right year. You’re a marvel, found the words I couldn’t quite grasp.
Years ago I created an ideal in my mind of the perfect woman, nature and features and everything; one day I met her, shocked me to my bones, courted her, cooked for her, it didn’t work out at all, not even a little! Her beagle liked me, though. (!)
linaji replied
funny how that works…smile.. and my dog Misha.. part malamute and collie.. he is not here any longer.. in 07 he decided to play elsewhere.. 14 years of bliss.. I loved him so.. I used to..well still do as now I am telling you… tell this story..
In our last life Misha was my most wonderful lover/husband.. something like that.
and on his death bed he looked at me and said.. Lina my most heart of hearts.. I want to come back in our next life and LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY … and so it was he got his wish! Dog/God.. he was amazing!
What more unconditional love I have ever felt for 14 years than from my boyo.. Misha.. I felt his presence the other day in fact ..first time.. just loving as hell.. and he was no lap dog nor kisser or jump on me dog.. he was perfect cause I do not like affectionate to the max dogs.. he just was there in such great heart.. it was the hardest leaving I had ever experienced… more than lovers and she knows.. my mother.. whom I adored… was not as tough.. Now through this work (the thoughts on the sidebar).. which I know Syd.. is not so quick in understanding but worth for me to delve a litter deeeper.. and I did, have found the relief in life I desire and I seem to experience the joy this life truly gives me everyday because I have come to understand the choices I have in my thinking.. I have let lots of people off the hook… My boss, My friends, Check out people.. drivers in the freeway.. this statement is not just for lovers of course.. it is everyone in my life.. Really if you think about Unconditional Love.. it means for me…. I do not place on you any condition of my happiness on you; via how you act or what you choose to do, how you behave ect.. because I find ways each time I am uncomfortable with any of these thoughts to look for thoughts that feel better.. and if it means looking completely away from the situation and finding joy elsewhere in my day..(for me this is art ALOT OF TIMES) then what really surprises me as i do not focus on what I do NOT LIKE ABOUT YOU and choose either to focus on what I do like or just pay not attention and go about my day finding a way to feel better.. MY WORLD CHANGES.. YOU (any ‘you ‘that may bug the bejees outta me.) Change.. it happens every single day now.. and here on the bubble.. I have used this and have learned not to depend on anyone that seems to be spinning away from me.. you know.. no more comments no more feeling they want to hang.. I just allow for it all don’t think why or when.. and when i did it was sooooooooo painful.. I just look to what is here who is here and have fun with that..Boy you could call it ‘I just don’t give a fig’!! .. .. and yes this goes to stuff like political leaders.. that I would like to blame for alot.. anyway.. I sure do like you friend and maybe you otta get a beagle!!! lolo I will not have another dog for quite sometime.. I do not feel the desire at all.. Lets have some fun today!!! xooxxo
Jan Landers
ok….this just popped into my page….again…i have already commented on it and here it is again….some strange issues goin’ on here…is mercury in retrograde??? :-)

Very beautiful, Lina. The God in you sees and loves the god in me. Then we are one in all.

This is an awesome, sensuous image Linaji! And of course, the Abraham-Hicks teachings go so well and are very powerful. I had not read this particular one on relationships and so, as I’ve been feeling lately, the loss of a special relationship I had to let go a few years ago, it’s good to have this ready to reach for a better feeling. :o) Perfection once again Linaji! Thank you for posting this one. The whole series is very deep, philosophical and enlightening. :o)

Makes perfect sense to me… ; )

billyboy
Lina, what you’re saying is that basically we are selfish, and I agree with that. If I do something good for someone, I believe it’s that person’s gratitude that makes me want to do it, not because I’m just a generous person and want everyone else to feel good. It’s human nature, and it’s fortunate because it’s related to our conscience and it’s what basically keeps most of us from committing crime and being anti-social. It keeps the world ticking over.
But I don’t know if unconditional love is possible. I’ve been in remote relationships and have given what I consider unconditional love. But in the long run it’s never enough because there is no commitment. For us to find a lover who makes us feel good in ourselves, there must be a return, or a commitment. And often what is required in the commitment goes against what makes us feel good in ourselves. I think that the basic point Abraham-Hicks is missing out on is the fact that a working relationship must be totally interactive where the commitment fits as well as the self gratification. When those two elements come together, then you can truly have a really good time together.
By the way, your artwork is luscious, and I love your idea for the whole series. You take your stuff seriously and want us to engage with your thoughts. That’s what I love about you.
Beautiful work.
linaji replied
I must admit.. I have only practiced this on Boss, Friends, and all manner of social situations and I have seen CHANGE..GREAT MIRACULOUS CHANGE,... but.. when you live with someone.. that is a different story or exchange sexual energy.. that too puts some kind of well.. challenge if you will on the whole dynamic of which I speak.. but.. I never thought the life I had now was possible a few years ago.. never.. the freedom and the friendliness I feel towards others is from the practice of not focusing on the thought that feels bad.. really if you think about it there is only two feelings.. either you feel good or you don;t.. all the variables are the on the sides of feeling good or bad.. so.. coming from this notion.. I have become very aware of my thinking.. not claiming at all that ANY OF MY THINKING IS WRONG!! that is the joy I now feel.. It’s all good because at any ..any any given moment I can change the focus of my thinking on you or this site the worlds situation…unfair this or that.. and wham.. my feeling better occurs and then solutions pop up.. and truly.. I am completely amazed.. I would not write about any of this if it were not occcuring in my life.
It took some doing.. about 2 years ..kinda faked it till i made it and.. this arena..REd Bubble.. has helped sooo much,.. I see the dynamic of letting people in and out of my life with great ease with out putting a huge story line on them.. I do let them go .. free up my mind and in turn I give them Uncondiitonal Love.. no judgement happens not by my saying.. Ohhh I can’t judge that person.. he or she may not know any better.. blah blah ..you know,,, story line.. I simply stop thinking any more about them one way or the other.. and more people who are ready to have the kind of fun I love to have and discuss the stuff that seems to be my experience of now.. pop in!!! I don’t have to trash anyone!! It is a freedom that I intend to share.. for BB.. never have I ever been so happy.. but to get to your point.. relationships.. physical and longing and yumm yum.. ohhh that’s what I have been practicing for….. Wanna Try??? lolololo
Thanks so much friend. Your input on this series means a great deal to me…and that I have found you!! What joy that is.. everything I feel when I see your icon pop up or I see you have uploaded something.. really really FEELS GOOD!!
XOXO

Police: “If you love someone, set them free…”
For almost all people this will always be a contradiction, if based on the entire human history of “couples” and doing that “couple thing”. Maybe it’s based in our human genes to put a Claim on a person, or maybe just life imitating life, but it’s probably the hardest thing in the world to actually do, and not without tears.
linaji replied
Just a little more on the subject.. I believe Billy Boy made some great points like you have.. I just now believe anything is possible the older I get … shhh don’t tell anyone I changed the story from the older I get I.. am set in my ways.. To… The older I get the more I embrace many new possiblities.. they may think I’m nuts!!! lolol
Oh.. and I try not to say that stuff about how hard things are to do.. boy.. that line is a toughie!!!
PS.. I like your new Icon.. it looks like you reading my long ass missivess!!! ahhhhh

RB relationships are remote (virtual) relationships and can never replace, real relationships that one has in person…body to body, mind to mind, day to day, moment to moment…is what I’d meant…xox
linaji replied
It all depends on what you feel is real.. I feel my feelings for the day are real enough.. yesterdays are gone.. tomorrows I don’t give a fig.. if Now I feel a string of connection and elation.. just because one is not body present ..will not take from me the truth of feeling good..
So virtual or not.. what feels good is my reality and best of the best dear one.. I will not pine for my tomorrows any more.. I have givin that up like I gave up my liquor .. sweet at first yet in the end began to rob me of my happiness always present in the eternal NOW.. XOXOOX
helene ruiz

Leon Walker
Great image Lina!!! Your message is a valuable truth. But… you gotta get beyond all the stuff. You’re absolutely right.
linaji replied
Getting beyond the ‘stuff’ only requires i pay attention to my day today.. my Now.. how well I do it depends if I want to be conscious of my thinking or not.. it does not matter.. if I don’t pay attention to something I do not desire yet allow ‘it…stuff’ to rob me of my joy…
IT WILL GET BIGGER.. and then if I choose to do the do and find relief in choosing a better feeling thought.. than.. I am doing what was said.. I have found finally there is no race to be right or better.. there is only the choice of NOW.. I am where I am Now.. so.. where do I go from this jumping off point.. that way I don’t waste time thinking about why I am here now.. I just am..
Cut the bull from both sides.. (past/future) and you got plenty of room to feel better!!! lolol Love you friend.. I shall take a jump to your site as I have been out of the loop last few day.. So Appreciate your views and comments.. xoxoox
kreesor
Fantastic image Linaji!! Of course the people we share ourselves with should make us happy, otherwise what would be the point. You can’t change someone else, so if they make you happy the way they are, congrats, great find!! Everyone wants and deserves to be happy!! :>)

YOu make me happy.. and if you are any different than I feel.. then I am hoping we are waking the same path.. you bring me great joy in your giving presence and your talent is a wonderful point of meeting you friend.. Sending you big Hugs.!

Beautiful work. I read through the quote and have to admit, that there is a lot of truth in it. I never thought about love this way. Now I have found the one, who is like me (in the case of attitude). I never felt as happy as I’m with her.
My brain is working so often because of your work. Thanks a lot, thanks for all this beautiful minds and mental excursions.
