Relationship and memory

[yogi R. Lund]

Relationship, in the sense that is evolving (as opposed to in the
invented sense, which is conscious), is when seeing each other
transcends the making of a memory of each other, which has to do with a
passion of seeing and a void of the intent or utility suggested by
experience. Then no memory is made, but the lives are fused by that
seeing so that no parting ever happens except as that the relationship
eventually finishes its work. Relationships that have finished their
work is how life evolved to this point; it is how form changes into
more aesthetic form representing more profound perception, capabilities
and care.

When you have a memory of someone, and contrive to continue the
relationship from the memory as imagination or fantasy, this is not the
whole person even if he contrives to indulge it (for example, as vanity
or provocation indulging lust or seduction), so it is not a
relationship but is something dwindling or progressing towards madness,
the abuse of what one imagines another to be all too vividly, or
telepathy with what one forces the other to be as ones alterego which
refers to the same thing (a thing that would take a little longer to
express perfectly if that is possible between us). When you have this
relationship established that is not a memory, so that there is no
memory of having seen the other, then the relationship evokes itself,
which is what needs profound rest or meditation.

What is a precious moment? It must be a totally captivating moment, so
that for this moment one can not let go of the present and wander into
distraction, into memory. But why would life become precious moments;
why would it not be precious days. If we have precious days then we
have no time for memory, and so no reason to make any.

Looking back, do you not find a time when your first-hand memory
begins, which is a time long after you were born or even after you
found your legs. Before memory begins its time of accumulation one
had/has precious days, which is innocence in the absolute sense, the
sense that guarantees harmony both ways: for oneself and as oneself for
others. When life becomes precious moments instead of precious days
this is deterioration, and once it is accepted (which also means once
memory is accepted as a guide, as experience), which is egotism, it
deteriorates perpetually.

Egotism guarantees eventual senility, which is a comfort to the
presently senile, giving them power; giving their experience "worth"
(which is like giving plague worth).
