EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS – How To Use Relationships As A Path Of Awakening
October 6th, 2022, 12pm – 3pm PST
The recording is available HERE.
Show Notes Part 1:
- When one partner isn’t growth orientated, and the other is
- Conflict avoidant couples vs. hostile, angry couples
- Why people avoid relationships [unconsciously]
- You can progress spiritually faster in a growth-oriented relationship
- People tend to project on their partners are not really sincerely doing the work themselves
- The fallacy of “it takes two to tango” and how it can be an avoidance strategy
- The trap of trying to make your partner more like you
- The futile search for the “perfect partner” and addiction to romance
- Both anxious and avoidant types can be addicted to romance, and they often keep finding each other
- Be clear about your values, what are your deal breakers, and what you bring to the table
- Positive and negative shadow projection in relationships
- There is also only ONE relationship that can fulfill you on all levels, and that is your relationship to God/the Divine
- The necessity to understand the different archetypal phases in a relationship
- Even the best relationships take work
- The importance of conscious differentiation
- No stage can be skipped – the experience a couple gains and the abilities they acquire in each stage provide the foundation for the stages that follow
- The length of a relationship does not always equal quality
- Partners don’t grow at the same rate
- This is not a smooth journey; it takes courage and fearlessness
In Part 2 (only for members), we go deeper into:
- Trauma and self-defeating patterns and beliefs about relationships
- C-PTSD can make you more wired for protection than connection. It can also make you scared of people and fall for the wrong people
- Shame makes us want to hide
- Natural shyness vs. internalized shame
- Many people are single and have become so disillusioned or disappointed in their attempts to [attract] find a partner that they have become hardened and tell themselves that they are “meant to be alone” or that there is “no one out there for me”
- We all need relationships, not just romantic
- Exercise to uncover your current beliefs about relationships
- You have to work on getting to know yourself, your “I”
- The necessity to get out of your comfort zone and face your fears
- The Twin flame delusion and distortion
- The red flags of the popular New Age Twin Flame concept
- New Age mythology masking up unhealthy relationship and attachment patterns
- The esoteric concept of the “polar couple”
- Essence to essence vs. personality to personality
- Anima/Animus projection and integration
- Sri Aurobindo about the polar couple in relation to the creative principle
- The blindspot of the neo-polarity teachings
- What is true Divine Union?
- The price of the digital age and how it affects relationships – We feel so connected yet so alone
