.. now why? Did you do that..I may have to delay my meal
of three Hugh pork egg rolls and Chinese Chicken soup.
How should I respond to this?
First, let me format it.
Both men and women try to fill a metaphysical void in themselves with a corporeal person of the opposite sex.
We invest everything in a flawed codependency
and when one learns the love of their life is incapable of living up to this god role,
they feel betrayed.
These vampirish relationships are based on an emotional needinesswhich stems from trauma or shock experienced very early in life usually caused by a parent.
Looking to "God" to satisfy emotional cravings will also disappointbecause His function is on an intuitive (dare I say metaphysical) level,not an emotional or intellectual frequency.
Once one develops a strong sense of identitywhich is learned through an intuitive knowing (from God),
they will not look outward for meaning and reassurance from other people.
Let me start by saying that what little I've listened to Roy Masters, basically I like him.
Now that being said, let me gleam the valuable information out of this, and throw away the chaff.
"Both men and women try to fill a metaphysical void in themselves with a corporeal person of the opposite sex. "
I think
"metaphysical" and, for that mater
"metaphysics", does NOT mean what you think it means.
It is
misinterpreted by Latin writers as meaning
"the science of what is beyond the physical." The word
"corporeal" is of little value in meaning to that sentence, also.
So let's look at that sentence again, without those useless words.
"Both men and women try to fill a metaphysical void in themselves with a corporeal person of the opposite sex. "
Most people do, I agree, except for the
REPROBATES.

"We invest everything in a flawed codependency

Not all of us invest "everything" (hence many marriage problems), and not all of us consider it a "god role".
But many of the young and immature do.
And not only do they
"feel" betrayed, but they
ARE betrayed, by their spouse, and sometimes that betrayal is for
justifiable reasons (adultery).
As for being
"flawed", that depends on what you think marriage is for.
As far as I'm concerned, everything goes back to the Book of Knowledge, the Bible.

"These vampirish relationships are based on an emotional neediness which stems from trauma or shock experienced very early in lifeusually caused by a parent."
Those bad relationships usually are base on "neediness".
As far as their causes, since parenting usually covers about 20 years and most of the young married couple's lifetime, I'd agree.
But there have been
other causes.
But you could write a book on that, and many have gotten rich off of that subject.

"Looking to "God" to satisfy emotional cravings will also disappoint because His function is on an intuitive (dare I say metaphysical) level, not an emotional or intellectual frequency."
God CAN satisfy emotional needs, but not all cravings ~ are "needs".
God functions on more that an
"intuitive" level.
Intellectual communication with God, is through prayer and what God reveals after that pray, in your Bible readings, and sometimes is revealed in other ways, as
God's spirit can be communicated by others.

Pretty much, I agree.
But not always.
A "helpmate" is just that.
And living life is meant to be shared with others.
Man is not meant to live alone.
But a wife, or a husband, is not an absolute necessity.
If you marry for selfish reasons, happiness is hard to come by.
But service to one-another is what it's about; that, and service to God.
As you get older, you need help, and life tend to be very hollow without someone to share it with.
But YOUR life is YOUR's to choose,and only YOU can answer for YOUR choices.
