As we go through our day, interacting with one another and with life itself, it feels as though these events are what our lives are all about. We rarely suspect that these moment-to-moment experiences are actually just the surface reflections of a deep relationship we already have with an invisible life.

It may seem like an unusual idea, but if we could see it, this understanding would allow us to meet the world with fresh eyes.

Here’s a powerful quote by a well-known physicist that expresses this profound notion:

The world is not a collection of separate objects but rather appears as a web of relations between the various parts of a unified whole. — Fritjof Capra (b: 1939)

Capra speaks to the invisible connections that bind us all. We feel as though we are individuals, but in every moment what we are is the sum of the connections that define us — what we are in relationship with. As OneJourney founder Guy Finley tells us:

Everything is relationship. — Guy Finley (b: 1949)

We’re in relationship with our physical environment, with the signals from our own bodies, with the memories that affect how we see things and our hopes or fears for the future – and especially to the point of this article — with every person around us.

We may not even be aware of that person we pass on the street, but parts of us have already gone into action, determining if this is a good connection or not. Is he or she attractive or off-putting? Does he or she pose a threat?

Or we may meet a friend. Usually our connection with our friend is warm and pleasant. But for some reason this time something feels off. We feel a cold distance. We don’t like this manifestation of the “unified whole.” How do we fix it?

And then we endlessly reevaluate our connections when it comes to those most important to us — those we love. We’re constantly reassessing those relationships, balancing them, and at the same time rebalancing our whole sense of who we are.

And most of this may be going on without any awareness on our part. We feel pulled this way and that, but we don’t understand what’s really happening or why. And when things seem awry, we just look for someone to blame, or get discouraged, or think we need to find new friends or lovers. We may not even realize that we ourselves are part of the unified whole and what we bring to the moment is influencing what the moment brings to us.

All the issues between human beings in this world are largely due to the invisible web of relationships and our ignorance of how it works and how each of us plays a part in its expression.

For those who want a deeper understanding of these connections so that we may enjoy better relationships, one of Guy Finley’s most beloved books, Relationship Magic, is a beautiful revelation of the many aspects of human relationships — including our relationships with loved ones, friends, strangers, that person whose political opinions differ from our own, and most important, the Divine.

Here’s a Taste of the Wisdom in Relationship Magic

Relationship Magic holds many valuable answers to our questions about our interactions with others. Here’s a quote from the book that expresses the deeper meaning and lessons to be found in our relationships. How different all of them would be if we understood this:

All of our relationships, particularly with those we love, exist for a single beautiful purpose that expresses itself in two different ways. First, our partner — whether spouse, that “special” someone, or even a would-be companion — is in our life to help us grow; to provide just the conditions we need to become that better, truer person that they see in us, just waiting to be brought forth. But the other and equally important half of this same purpose and promise — without which the first part can’t be realized — is as follows: our partner is also there in our life to help us see everything in us that now stands in the way of our realizing this same higher possibility. — Guy Finley, Relationship Magic

This life is not just about what we see on the surface. It’s an inner journey. And our relationships with others form an integral part of our growth on that journey and our process of self-discovery. They help us understand the “web of relations between the various parts of a unified whole.”

Relationship Magic is so valuable because it teaches us how to use our relationships to discover and develop ourselves. The result is wiser, kinder, more compassionate relationships because we bring this Higher element into every encounter with others.

Don’t You Know People Who Could Use Information Like This?

We all have relationships. And I think we all would admit they could use some improving. Here are some chapter titles from Relationship Magic. Don’t you think just about anyone would find these helpful?

• How to Realize the Invisible Power and Promise of Love
• The Secret of Making a Fresh Start
• Take the Upper Path That Leads to Perfect Love
• Start Making Space for Your Partner to Grow
• The ABCs of Relationship Magic

I hope you can sense that this book provides the opportunity to make some life-changing discoveries about yourself as well as about other people and your relationships with them. It’s all about understanding the web of relationships that define our lives, and using that knowledge to improve all relationships.
