I am Paula, I hope to deepen my understanding and meaning of what it is to cultivate a spiritual life. I hope to connect with my fellows and begin to live more from the “we” instead of the “me”.
This shift in perception, the ability to see the relationship as a separate entity, and not just an extension of my own desires invites an opportunity to grow together. I hope I can continue my personal growth and correction instead of projecting my upsets, lack and unmet needs into the relationship. I use distance as a protective factor especially if I am in an unsafe environment, understanding this is important as I no longer need to blame others for how I feel. Creating a deeper understanding and richness of my own lived experience has allowed me to extend the same understanding and compassion to others.
A lovely insight from a committed relationship. I am single and learning about what I may bring forward into my next relationship. One of the biggest game changers for me was seeing the relationship as a separate space that needed to be nurtured, respected and cultivated and not only an extension of me, my wants or desires. If this respect isn’t reciprocated then I suspect a troubling future.
The joy of this wisdom shines through. What inspires me it the willingness to grow spiritually by lifting others up. The selfless action we take to achieve this challenges me on a daily basis.
I wish for my fellows the light of connection with the creator that will ignite the correction. I wish for my fellows the humility to “tone down” the ego in order to embrace the light. I wish for my fellows knowledge of the next right thing to do.
When we plant ourselves in the right environment then the seeds of desire to create a spiritual way of living will evolve. The right environment with others who also have that point in the heart will lead us to the light.
