Normal relationships, however, don't consist of a series of highs and lows. In them you understand there are going to be different seasons but for the most part there's a certain continuity and stability.

At points where relationships are suffering, it usually isn't something that can be fixed or repaired with a just a simple act or gesture, it's a deeper issue of the heart that takes reflection, communication, and repentance to mend. But with the mystic, the solution to fixing a low always seems to be a quick psychological technique or other practice to alter the circumstance.

Wisdom. (I would have added at the end "... or to alter the consciousness.").

Our spiritual experience is to be one of a relationship with a Person. This relationship entails joy, peace and an inner sense of an amazing reality, but at its core it is a personal relationship with a conscious, thinking, emoting Being. Leave that out and you are out in the weeds of feelings, sensations, highs, lows, metaphysical gymnastics and other forms of consciousness alteration.

Never forget the river of water of life is a Person. That is a wonderful thing!
