What it comes down to in your case is that you are living the usual life of contraction, not just in a relationship here and there, but fundamentally. Your infantile reaction to being unloved is not just something that you bring into a certain few relationships. It is your philosophy. It is an interpretation of things as they are. It is an interpretation of the universe: to be loveless because you do not trust love. It is a way of existing in the midst of Infinity. You are not certain of being loved and, thus, you cannot love. But to love is the Law. You must love, regardless of the circumstance, you see. The essential principle of spiritual life is unobstructed feeling-attention via all functions, in all relations, under all conditions. That principle is to be realized in all the complicated mechanics of your relationships and in all the esoteric developments of the practice that may be given to you. Love is the principle, but love is not what you are living. You are weak in that force of feeling-attention because you are subject to the conditions outside you. You basically feel unloved, unable to depend on love. You are always reacting to the universe as a great something in which you are not loved, always protecting yourself from death. This reaction is the essential learning we must undo in order to become human beings. Spiritual life is not a matter of reading signs about ourselves and going within, through meditative techniques, trying to find the great absorption. That is Narcissus, whose solution is further isolation. God-Realization is in the moment, yet it has nothing to do with the conditions that are arising in this moment. They are not it. God-Realization is to awaken to your true Condition, which is love, Radiance to Infinity, and to live it, not just to believe it, not to depend on it from others, but to be that confidence, that overwhelming bliss, that energy, unthreatened - that is the business of devotees, not the mediocre drama you are telling us about here.
