Going from the individual to the collective, contemplates several dimensions that outline the way human beings interact:

The FIRST of these, and the one that has prevailed throughout time, as the most important in most of the societies of our world, is the congenital family… also known as the blood family. Each individual creates his personality based on the type of experiences lived in his first years of life, which translate into strengths and traumas that usually remain until adulthood. The importance of the family is placed above all else. Love is often mixed, or confused, with the pre-established duties and the obligation to maintain a relationship with each of the members of the clan, at all costs. Historically, marriages served to strengthen families through the union of two of its members. In this way, the blood bond is fused between the two clans and with this, expectations, and rules to follow are added while the circle of people to be called ‘family’ expands.

Most likely, there will be people within the family with whom you can vibrate in love. This allows solid and firm roots to grow, which provide stability and certainty to face any situation that arises in life. On the other hand, there will be relatives with whom it will be difficult to build a healthy, productive, and loving relationship. There are those who feel free to act, do and undo, regardless of the damage they may cause to other family members. The certainty prevails in them that “everyone else in the family have to – love, care, forgive, support, help, endure, contain & maintain – them infinitely” just because they have the same blood. In short, something that drains energy and does not allow the true concept of love to flourish.

The SECOND important link has to do with the place of origin. Here we can navigate from the macro to the micro: continents, countries, states, cities, communities, specific groups defined by affinity, ideology, socioeconomic level, age, gender, social orientation, etc. The history of humanity is infested with wars fueled by the power, control, and manipulation of the masses. A feeling of separation prevails, backed by constant competition, or the belief of some to be – more or better | less or inferior – than others. Differences keep adding up between people. In the process of acceptance or inclusion, one usually ends up discriminating against those who do not think in a similar way, further fostering separation and discord in the world. Competition prevails over collaboration, respect, and harmony.

The THIRD way to create a connection between people, depends solely and exclusively on a personal choice. Throughout life, interpersonal relationships will always be made up of many acquaintances, multiple friendships and some people who will go beyond a simple friendship. Life gives us the opportunity to create our own family by choice, based on love. I am referring to those beings with whom a strong connection is created, with whom you can count unconditionally throughout your life. Those people who are always there when you need them most.

In this group, those people from the blood family with whom there is a positive and loving relationship can also be included. Ultimately, what should prevail, is everything that adds to our lives and allows us to evolve towards a better version of ourselves. Our well-being will be reflected by correspondence in our environment and the beings that surround you.
