Spiritual Growth through Relationship
Spiritual Growth through Relationship
If there has been one over-riding passion in my life, it has been learning about Relationship. Relationship is the fastest and most intense vehicle for Spiritual Growth available. I have always been fascinated by how people interact with each other, relate to each other, misunderstand each other, mistreat each other, and love each other. How is it that two people can proclaim undying love to each other one minute, and hate each other the next? How can two people see the exactly the same events in entirely different ways? What causes this differing perception? Is this often conflicting perception what causes relationships to fail? Is this difference in perception the same reason nations to go to war with each other? Are we doomed to remain separate beings, nations, or is there a solution to this eternal conflict?
As a young boy, I took it for granted that when I was old enough I would find “true love”. As I progressed through adolescence and early adulthood, I began looking for the perfect relationship, one where you were always in harmony with your mate, one where you always saw things the same way, and of course, you could read each other’s minds.
After a few early relationships, it soon became apparent that the “perfect” love was going to be harder to find than I naively thought. Undaunted, I became determined to fully understand the dynamics of relationship both by studying all the written material I could find on the subject, and also by experiencing relationship with different types of people. I even pursued PhD in Applied Psychology because I naively thought that by studying psychology, I would find the answers I was looking for. My burning questions were:
1) Why do relationships that begin as harmonious and passionate usually degenerate into conflict and blame, and sometimes violence
2) How does one sustain the passion in a long-term committed relationship?
3) How can one gain clarity in a relationship (that they are in)?
and most importantly…
4) What is Love? What does it really mean to “Love” someone?
When I started to use spiritual methods, I could feel the energy running through my body like an electrical current, opening my heart. I knew this energy was supporting me and helping me to re-member the message at a soul level. For the first time in my life, I began to understand that the purpose of relationship is to learn how to keep our hearts open, and to see each and every person as Sacred and Divine Beings. I also learned how to improve my relationships by being in Integrity and acting with more Compassion.
The simple truth is that when you clear yourself energetically of enough “hidden” stuff (fears, error thinking, mass-consciousness beliefs, expectations, etc) your relationships become deeper and more harmonious because YOU are clearer and able to see things from a different, higher perspective. The wonderful side effect of this clarity is that it becomes easier to keep one’s heart open and truly see the other person as a Divine Being. Truly Loving is simply the ability to keep one’s heart open under any circumstances. This is a simple thing, though sometimes incredibly difficult, to do. The more you clear your “stuff”, and the more you keep your heart open, the higher your Frequency becomes. And the higher your Frequency becomes, the more you manifest things that you truly want and desire into your live that might be good health better financial state. The wonderful side effect is that things things that do not serve you (things of a lower Frequency than you) begin dropping out of your life. In other words, the more of your issues you deal with, the better your life and your relationships get, and the more LOVE you will experience in your life!
