Each one of us is born fluid, but time and fate make our subtle existence more viscous, as we age. Most individuals are designed to be compatible with the system, yet some of us have trouble fitting in this chaotic world. Our consciousness is like a software that constantly needs to be upgraded, otherwise it gets stuck to the old version. Sometimes, there might be bugs that need to be taken care of, but eventually some of us learn to adapt to the environment and thrive in life.

A seeker knows that they are not separate from the outer, just as a child plays with the waves, dancing on the shore, without worrying about their gender, religion or race. The majority of humans function in a linear way, obeying to the authority, be it, God, the government or elders. Hence, they follow the tradition of living with the same partner, for the rest of their lives. Monogamy is not unique to humans only, in fact, it has been discovered that animals too can be monogamous. For example, some buffaloes like mating with the same partner, yet some may refer multiple ones.

When we awaken spiritually, our consciousness returns to its subtle form, making us flow like a stream. Our higher self or macrocosm is in constant flux, always evolving and growing in to its best version. We are here to remember our ancient wisdom, i.e. our existence knows no boundaries. Freedom is who we are and that is what we seek.

Often artists or highly creative individuals have a difficult time trying to stick to a monotonous routine. We are nomadic souls, who long to be free, afraid of being tied down to mediocrity. Living in a one size fits all world can be quite suffocating for the ones who resonate with this frequency, therefore, polygamy takes a whole new meaning, when we discover our fluid nature. We choose not be married to an ideology or institution, as our paths keep on changing, like a train switching its course at a junction.
