Zitate von D. Hawkins

Persönliche Bekenntnisse zum Thema Liebe und Vertrautheit

  • Ich hatte ebenfalls eine nachhaltige Tragödie in meiner Famile erlebt und war ohne all das obendrein ziemlich deprimiert. [...] und der Verlust eines Familienmitglieds ist natürlich noch eine schwere Erschütterung im eigenen Leben. Die Zerrüttung einer langjährigen Ehe und der Familie auch. All das geschah zur gleichen Zeit. Äußere und innere Auslöser für Depression – genügend unbewusste Schuldgefühle, um ein Pferd zu töten.

  • Ich brauche nicht zu wissen, wohin ich gehen werde. Ich habe keine Ahnung, mit wem ich zusammen sein und mit

Empfehlungen

  • Wenn du Beziehungsprobleme hast, sage: Mir ist es recht. Was immer dich glücklich macht, Schatz. Quelle unbekannt
⚠ Achtung Siehe Power vs. Truth (engl.) Januar 2013

  • Da "Beziehung" ein Konzept der dualistischen mentalen Beobachtung ist, gibt es in der Realität keine Beziehungen. Jedes Ding ist einfach und zeigt das Sein von Existenz. Das All-sehende Auge, S. 27, 2005

 

Elemente
Wasser und Licht, 14. August 2008
  • Alle Beziehungen sind nur konventionelle, soziale
    Übereinkünfte und Vereinbarungen. Da sie keine unab-
    hängige Wirklichkeit haben, können sie durch Ände-
    rung der Vereinbarungen gelöscht oder gestrichen
    werden. FU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 397, 2001

 

  • Das nächste Kernproblem ist die Schwierigkeit, emotional gefärbte Liebe loszulassen – nicht wegen der Liebe an sich, sondern wegen der Anhaftung auf das Geliebte. Wir glauben, dass der Verlust eines Liebesobjekts Kummer mit sich bringt, aber tatsächlich dreht sich der Kummer um die Anhaftung selbst, die daher rührt, dass man das Liebesobjekt als die [äuße-
    re] Quelle des Glücks betrachtet.
    FU I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 41, 2003

 

  • Wenn man dem strikten Weg der Negierung folgt, stellt sich tatsächlich die Leerheit an sich ein. Dies ergibt sich aus dem Irrtum, Lieben zu vermeiden infolge eines Missverständnisses der Liebe. Tatsächlich ist, der Liebe verhaftet zu sein, die Falle und das Hindernis zur Erleuchtung. In Wirklichkeit ist Liebe Freiheit, das Verhaftetsein an die Liebe ist eine Einschränkung.
    FU I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 281, 2003

 

  • Die Umstände von Liebe und leidenschaftlicher Begierde werden häufig durcheinander gebracht, […] die unterschei-
    dende Diagnose […] kann Beteiligten und Beobachtern häufig Rätsel aufgeben. […] Der Gegensatz besteht zwischen der Verstrickung als des kleinen Selbstes und der beiderseitigen Übereinstimmung mit dem SELBST, die bei beiden Beteiligten die höhere Absicht anzeigt, gemeinsam der Beziehung zu dienen statt nur die Wünsche und Begierden
    des eigenen Egos zu befriedigen.
    FU Erleuchtung ist möglich, siehe Hinweis auf die Tabelle "Unterschiede zwischen Verliebtheit versus Liebe", S. 270, 2008

 

  • Versuchung, Verführung, Begehrtwerden und Begehrlichkeit sind allesamt Projektionen, die sich auf Erschei-
    nung und Annahmen gründen.
    Sie stehen in Verbindung mit programmierten Fantasien, etwas zu gewinnen. Die Befriedigung, die aus den projizierten Werten gewonnen wird, macht die Welt der Illusionen aus. Das Glücksempfin-
    den
    an sich ist unmittelbar mit der alles überstrahlenden Bewusstseinsebene verbunden, statt mit irgendwelchen äußeren Faktoren. FU Discovery of the Presence of God, S. 223, 2007

 

  • Geistige Liebe ist weder erotisch noch besitzergreifend. Man begegnet ihr bei vollentwickelten Liebespartnern
    und sieht sie als die starke Verbundenheit der platonischen Liebe, die etwa Schiffskameraden, Militäreinheiten
    oder Arbeitsgemeinschaften miteinander teilen. FU Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, Kapitel 14, S. 288, 2008

  • Die Menschen interagieren miteinander und sind miteinander beschäftigt, ohne jedoch aufeinander ausgerichtet zu sein. Es gibt zwei Arten der Aus-
    richtung, die ich als die horizontale und die ver-
    tikale Ausrichtung bezeichne.
    In Beziehungen ist man horizontal eingestellt; beide Partner sind mit dem Sonnengeflecht [Chakra] des anderen be-
    schäftigt, wobei jeder darauf bedacht ist, Recht zu haben. In der vertikalen Ausrichtung, sind beide Partner auf den Zweck der Beziehung ausgerichtet, nicht auf den Solar plexus des Anderen. Wenn der Zweck ist, einander Glück zu bescheren, so richten sich beide auf dieses Ziel aus. In einer horizontalen Ausrichtung hingegen wird emotionaler Zwang, mo-
    ralische Erpressung, eingesetzt. Die Partner inter-
    agieren zwar, ohne ausgerichtet zu sein. Wenn ihr euch beide bemüht, einen besseren Garten zu gestalten, arbeitet
    ihr beide in dem Garten. Wenn du [der Mann] versuchst, einen besseren Garten als sie zu haben, dann bewegst du
    dich auf ihrem Feld und rupfst ihre Pflanzen aus. Die Menschen sterben lieber als das Recht-haben aufzugeben.
    Das Ego ist ziemlich süchtig. Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD-Set, 16. April 2005

 

  • Frage: Ich bin spirituell gewachsen, was ich großartig finde. Ich bin jedoch einsam, da die Leute in meiner Umgebung nicht denselben Weg gehen. Meine langjährigen Beziehungen zerbrechen.
    Antwort: Du kannst sie weiterhin lieben. Oftmals ist einem spirituell Aspiranten die spirituelle Familie näher als nahe Familienangehörige und Freunde. Irgendwann wirst du sehen, dass alle Menschen liebenswert sind, obwohl sie deinen spirituellen Weg nicht teilen. Du kannst dennoch eine gute Beziehung mit ihnen haben.
    Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD-Set, 13. September 2006

 

  • Sehr häufig ist der Zweck einer Beziehung, genau die Probleme zu lösen, die auftauchen. Die beiden Partner müs-
    sen nicht miteinander übereinstimmen oder auf derselben Bewusstseinsstufe stehen.
    Sedona Seminar Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, 3 DVD-Set, 21. Oktober 2006

 

  • Frage: Wie weiß man, wann die Zeit gekommen ist, eine Beziehung zu beenden?
    Antwort: Übergib' es Gott, sei einverstanden mit einem Ergebnis, ob es nun so oder so ausfällt.
    Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD-Set, 8. November 2006

 

  • Es gibt keine Sicherheit in einer Beziehung! Sie ist ein ganzes Trainingsprogramm, das einem hilft, reifer zu
    werden. Sedona Seminar Is the Miraculous Real?, 3 DVD-Set, 9. Dezember 2006

 

  • Frage: Wie sehen vertikal ausgerichtete Beziehungen aus?
    Antwort: Viele Beziehungen neigen dazu, horizontal zu sein […] Dabei geht es um Kontrolle und Gewinnen-Verlieren […] horizontale Solar plexus-Interaktionen […] Schieben-Ziehen. Eine vertikal ausgerichtete Beziehung verläuft pa-
    rallel. [findet auf der Herzchakra-Ebene statt.] Beide Partner sind auf dasselbe letztendliche Ziel ausgerichtet. Sie
    sind unentwegt ausgerichtet, ganz gleich, was sie tun. Sie brauchen sich nicht zu sorgen, ob der Andere ihnen vergeben
    wird! […] Es geht nicht um Aufrechnen und Punkte sammeln. Wenn sich beide Partner in dieselbe Richtung bewegen,
    sind sie automatisch aufeinander ausgerichtet. Beide sind auf Vergebung ausgerichtet und beide unterstützen einan-
    der auf dem spirituellen Weg. – Es geht nicht um Gewinnen-Verlieren. Wenn du gewinnst, hast du soeben verloren. Einander zu dienen, um die höchsten Bestimmung zu erfüllen – das enthebt einen aus den Machtkämpfen. Du kannst jähzornig veranlagt und überanstrengt sein, doch das verändert nicht deine Orientierung auf das Ziel.
    Sedona Seminar Is the Miraculous Real?, 3 DVD-Set, 9. Dezember 2006

 

  • Beziehungen durchlaufen Phasen. Sie reifen. Die Partner reifen mit unterschiedlichem Tempo. Viele Leute betrachten Leidenschaft lediglich als Bedürftigkeit, als hormonelles Problem. Wenn die hormonellen Schübe sich verflüchtigen, könnte man tatsächlich friedlich miteinander fernsehen! Sedona Satsang Q&A, 2 CD-Set, 10. Januar 2007

 

  • Frage: Ich habe vor Kurzem entdeckt, dass ich immer wieder die gleiche Beziehung in meinem Leben habe.
    Antwort: Halte nach dem Motiv Ausschau. Finde heraus, um welches Verhaltensmuster es sich handelt. Was benö-
    tigst du als Erkenntnis daraus. Handelt es sich um zerstörerische Beziehungen?
    Erwiderung des Fragestellers: Ja, sie wachsen nicht. Sie sind nicht schöpferisch.
    Antwort: Junge, du projizierst eine Menge Anforderungen auf eine Beziehung. Muss sie schöpferisch sein? Muss sie wachsen? Wenn du die innewohnende Realität von Allem erkennst, wirst du sehen, dass alle Dinge vollkommen sind. Ein Mensch schenkt dir einen Blick der vertrauensvollen Liebe – es gibt nichts Größeres im Universum.

Quotes by D. Hawkins

Personal avowals

Handling love sickness – 'Letting go resisting to a stack of unconscious emotions'

  • For 12 days I did nothing but stop resisting a certain belief system. Eventually, I was in the clear of the pain of loss. Oh yes, that was pain of loss of love. The loss of love, of course, recurs throughout many a lifetime, so it was a very major stack. I really didn’t know how I was going to survive it. But I just lay on the couch and let go, surrendering to it. It ran quite awhile and then suddenly I was free of it. Very suddenly! The agony of irrevocable, terrible loss of love was probably the worst, and it ran day after day after day. […] [T]he stack is the collective accumulation of a certain energy over time, and the associated belief system with it. So, yes, the worst one that ever ran for me was the loss of love. Interview Healing and Recovery, presented by the US American health magazine "Unified Health!", Matt Laughlin, volume 5, issue 14, S. 20, winter 2009

 

  • I don't need to know where I'm going to go. I've no idea who I'm going to be with – who I'm going to live with; I have no idea about my love relationships. I've no idea what I'm going to do myself. I have no idea about finances. Right now I have no income, hardly any income.

Love and intimacy related sharing

Answer to personal questions

  • I'd also had a severe tragedy in my family life and was quite depressed on top of all of that. Who wouldn't be with all those ailments anyway [laughter] and a loss of a family member is of course another severe disruption in one's life. The disruption of the family and a marriage of many years also. So all this was happening at the same time. External causes for depression; internal causes – enough unconscious guilt to kill a horse.

Grieving, attachment, and letting go of emotional love

  • The next core problem is the difficulty of letting go of emotional love – not because of the love itself but because of the attachment to that which is loved. We think that the loss of a love object brings grief, but actually, the grief is about the loss of the attachment itself, which is due to viewing the object of love as the source of happiness.
    I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 41, 2003

 

(↓)

Pure love is freedom. Attachment to love is a limitation.

  • When one follows the strict pathway of negation, the state of Void as such does indeed present itself. This results from the error of avoiding love due to the misunderstanding of love. The attachment to love is really the trap and the barrier to enlightenment. In Reality, love is freedom, but attachment to love
    is a limitation.

Allures

  • Temptation, seduction, desirability, and allure are all projections having to do with appearance and presumptions. These are associated with programmed fantasies of gain. Satisfaction of projected values constitutes the world of illusion. Happiness itself is directly correlated with the overall level of consciousness rather than with any external factors. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 223, 2007

Mature lovemates

  • Spiritual love is neither erotic nor possessive and is seen in mature lovemates and in the platonic love of the strong bonds that are formed by shipmates, for example, or military units, or teams.
    Reality, Spirituality and Modern Man, chapter 14, S. 288, 2008

 

  • Question: Is it possible for people of different calibrations to be married peacefully?
    Answer: Yes. There is a higher purpose to every relationship. What appears on the outside as a mismatch may be just exactly what the two people need. […] As the Course says, "Everyone is our teacher." When that teaching has reached its conclusion the relationship may disappear. Why? Because it has served its purpose and is no longer suitable for that state of spiritual evolution of one or the other or both parties. A lot of relationships come together as an agreement, which people have forgotten about. […]
    People get involved with each other but very rarely aligned. What makes relationship work is not involvement. Involvement is a dime a dozen […] which is a solar plexus kind of possessive exclusivity. To make relationship work is to be aligned with the good and the welfare and the happiness of the other person. If both people are aligned with the relationship then it can withstand almost anything. So long as you are aligned with each other it will survive any travail. If you're merely involved with each other you can get divorced over chocolate versus vanilla.
    Q&A audio interview with D. Hawkins, part 3 of 3, 29:58 minutes duration, presented by the dissolved US American ACIM web radio station of the dissolved Miracles Center, Sedona, Arizona, host H. David Fishman, 30 minutes of 90 minutes, aired 6. February 2005

Tolerance and respect

  • If we're aligned with the freedom of other people to be who they are, then we stop bullying them with moral superiority and a do-gooderism of people who want to restrict the freedom of others so that their pet positionalities can be forced on others. Sedona Seminar Integration of Spirituality and Personal Life, CD 4 of 4, Poco Diablo Resort, February 2003

 

(↓)

Consummate relationship

  • A successful relationship is one that brings you joy, contentment, a feeling of security. If the relationship is working you feel emotionally safe with the other person. Emotionally safe. What does that mean? It means you can reveal your downside and the other person will help you overcome it. Recontectualize it for them. So one of the greatest gifts we give each other is we recontextualize it back to the other person.
    It's our love for each other that brings about peace. Our love for each other and our love for our own existence.
    You see? Because you cannot love God and hate your own existence. Unless you glory in your own existence, you
    cannot Glory in the Presence of God because the evidence of God is the subjective awareness of your own existen-
    ce and that is the source of joy. And so out of love for others and your alignment in the relationship, you experience
    the joy of your own existence. Just as I enjoy being what I am to Thee, this day.

Neediness

  • You need to be right, you need to make money, you need to be successful? It's the neediness that's the problem. Instead, become that which attracts those things. Sedona Seminar Identification and Illusion, 3 DVD set, 14. August 2004

Relationships mirror and enhance growth.

Dr. Hawkins' policy is not to calibrate questions of a personal nature, in order not to interfere with karmic constellations.

  • Question: Is it in the highest good for me to continue dating a certain person?
    Answer: You may be undoing bad karma. […] We don’t calibrate personal questions. I don’t want to rob you of the karmic benefit of making the choice yourself. Sedona Seminar The Ego and The Self, 3 DVD set, 11. December 2004

 

(↓)

Transitory relationships are part of the spiritual path.

  • Ask [the potential partner]: What do you value? And to what degree does this fulfill what you [yourself] value? And it sort of becomes obvious [whether you and the other person are matching].
    A lot of relationships are transitory, and they are actually meant to be that way. [...] As we evolve we go through sometimes a number of relationships. Each time you learn something valuable that you couldn't have learned without [them]. And as the Course in Miracles says, "Everyone is our teacher", so even if it [the relationship] is a desaster,
    it serves some purpose. Sedona Seminar The Ego and The Self, 3 DVD set, 11. December 2004

 

(↓)

Involved relationships ⇔ aligned relationships

  • People interact and are involved with each other, but they're not aligned with each other. There are two kinds of alignment, which I call horizontal and vertical. In relationships, you're horizontal; they’re involved with each other's solar plexus, each looking to be right. In vertical alignment, you’re both aligned with the goal of the relationship, not with each
    other's solar plexus. If the goal is to make each other happy, they’re both aligned with that goal. In horizontal, they’re
    using emotional force, moral blackmail. They’re interacting, not aligned. If you’re both trying to make a better garden,
    you're both working on the garden. If you're trying to have a better garden than hers, then you're over there pulling up
    her plants. People would rather die than give up being right. The ego is quite addictive.
    Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD set, 16. April 2005

 

  • In a successful business or institution or family or relationship, you’re all in alignment with intention.
    1. First, you tell the truth.
    2. Then you accept things as they are.
    3. Then comes reasonableness.
    4. Then love.
Relationship can be a model for moving from 200 to Love. It’s a mutuality where you are aligned with each other vertically, based on who you are. Winning is not relevant. Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD set, 16. April 2005

"And then what?" experience

  • Ask "And then what?" If you are disturbed, directly inquire, "and then what?" and surrender each thing that comes up.
    1. "She didn’t call." "And then what?"
    2. "She doesn’t like me." "And then what?"
    3. "I’m no good." "And then what?"
    4. "I’ll die."

  • Question: I have grown spiritually, which is great, but I am lonely since the people around me are not on the same path. My long term relationships are falling apart.
    Answer: You can still love them. Often a spiritual seeker's spiritual family becomes closer than immediate family and friends. At some point you will see that everybody is lovable although they don't share your spiritual path. You can still have a good relationship with them.

Partners do not have to be concordant or at the same consciousness level.

Relationships do not provide certainty, but are a means to mature.

  • Question: Is it in the highest good to end my marriage?
    Answer: We are not allowed to ask that question. [No permission was received to muscle test this question.] Very often on personal things I get a NO because it interferes with the person’s karma. When talking about relationships, there is no certainty in a relationship! It's a whole training program. It helps you mature.

Vertically aligned relationships

No power struggles, no win-lose arrangement

  • Question: How about vertically aligned relationships?
    Answer: Many relationships tend to be horizontal […] about control and win-lose […] solar plexus horizontal […] push-pull. A vertically aligned relationship [comes from the heart is parallel. Both partners are aligned with the same ultimate goal. You are always aligned no matter what you do. You don't have to worry whether the other forgives you! You are both aligned! It is not about record-keeping and score-keeping. If you are both aligned in the same direction, you are automatically aligned. You are both aligned with forgiveness and supporting each others' spirituality. It's not win-lose – if you win, you just lost. To serve each other's highest purpose – that gets you out of power struggles. You can be short-tempered and strained, but that doesn't change your goals!

Marriage passing through changes

  • Question: 22 years ago I got married. We had children. It was spicy and passio-
    nate, and there were conflicts and the 'juice' of that. Today I have more love for my spouse than before, but it is no longer a special love. She is upset that I don’t engage with her like before. I love everyone.
    Answer: Relationships go through phases. They mature. People mature at different rates. A lot of people consider passion, just as neediness, a hormonal problem! If the hormones came down, you could actually just peacefully
    watch TV together! You were in fragments before, now you are more complete and it would be OK, if she left.
    Sedona Satsang Q&A, 2 CD set, 10. January 2007

 

  • Question: I have recently identified the same relationship over and over again in my life.
    Answer: Look for the motive. Look to see what the pattern is; what do you need to see about it. Are they destructive relationships?
    Questioner's reply: Yes, they are nothing that grows. They are not creative.
    Answer: Boy, you are projecting a lot of requirements on relationship! It's got to be creative? It's got to grow? If you
    see the intrinsic reality of everything, you will see each thing is perfect. A person gives you a glance of trusting love
    there is nothing more in the universe. What more is there in a relationship!

Socializing is a counter measure to addiction.

  • Having people around counters our tendency to isolate and withdraw. Many of us addicts have a hard time with intimacy and relating to people. We lack people skills because we have never really learned to respect ourselves and others and be present. This is a very rewarding and powerful tool. We should make the effort to get out and meet people and
    talk to them. Let down the defenses and try to connect. The world opens up this way. Other people keep us in
    line and help to socialize us. They give us cues about what is appropriate and the more skillful and aware you
    become in this realm, the more you are able to weed out other people's and your own garbage. Relating to
    people at any level is helpful.
    It's an art and a skill and an enormous challenge to those of us that are socially awk-
    ward or lack practice, but an enormous boon. Plus, we are never going to have a fulfilling partnership with the opposite
    sex without this. If we want to be functional and integrated people, learning to get along with other people is essential.
    The cornerstone to mental health relies on manners and how you relate to other people.

    [...] Ironically, addicts are self-absorbed. Get out of this trap by reaching to people in genuine ways.

Einsichten

 

  • Drei sind die Sphären, in denen sich die Welt der Beziehung baut:
I. Die erste: das Leben mit der Natur,
darin die Beziehung an der Schwelle der Sprache haftet.
II. Die zweite: das Leben mit den Menschen,
darin sie sprachgestaltig wird.
III. Die dritte: das Leben mit den geistigen Wesenheiten,
darin sie sprachlos, aber sprachzeugend sind.
In jeder Sphäre, in jedem Beziehungsakt, durch jedes uns gegenwärtig Werdende blicken wir an den Saum des ewigen Du hin, aus jedem vernehmen wir ein Wehen von ihm, in jedem Du reden wir das Ewige an, in jeder Sphäre nach ihrer Weise. Alle Sphären sind in ihm beschlossen, es in keiner.

  • Liebe besteht in der aktiven Hingabe an das Du, das heißt auch in der Mitteilung an das Du. Wer sich dabei von Bedürfnissen nach harmonischer Ergänzung leiten lässt, verbirgt die interessantesten und aufwühlendsten Seiten der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Zwei Liebende sollten davon ausgehen, dass sie sich in keinem Punkte ergänzen und trotzdem lieben. Praktisch stimmt dies auch, denn die tatsächlichen Ergänzungen zweier Liebenden befinden sich in sol-
    cher Tiefe der Persönlichkeiten, dass sie nie ganz eingesehen werden können
    , sicher nicht in den ersten Jahren einer Beziehung. Der Ergänzungsdruck verhindert nicht nur die gegenseitige Mitteilung, sondern auch die Selbstver-

  • Solange zwei Menschen, die sich lieben, aus dem Bewusstsein leben, wie weit oder wenig weit jeder von beiden durch die Beziehung schon gekommen ist, ist Lüge da.

Beziehungs"verträge" zwischen Männern und Frauen

  • Sie verschleiert die Tatsache, dass Frauen und Männer sexuelle Verträge auf sehr ungleiche Weise eingehen; Männer sind emotional distanzierter und Frauen verletzlicher, wenn sie den Vertrag in eine Gefühlsbeziehung zu überführen suchen. Gefühle und sexuelle Anziehung sind die einzige legitime Grundlage für sexuelle Bindungen, lassen sich aber nicht angemessen in Vertragsform gießen. Sexuell-emotionale Verträge können jederzeit von einem der Beteiligten einseitig revidiert werden. Ein Vertragsschluss kann durch die Notwendigkeit, sein Selbstwertgefühl zu bewahren, verhindert werden. Aus emotional-sexuellen Verträgen kann man fast oder sogar völlig straflos aussteigen, was eine Trennung zu einer glaubhaften und dauerhaften Bedrohung des Selbstwerts macht. Weil sich ein Großteil des Gehalts
    von Intimbeziehungen nicht in Vertragsform bringen lässt, werden sie in Erwartung ihres Endes eingegangen und über-
    wacht; die Akteure machen sich mithin Strategien der Risikokalkulation und -vermeidung zu eigen, die zu einem prä-
    ventiven Ausstieg führen können. […]
    Körper und Selbst sind nicht identisch, das Selbst ist aber vom Körper nicht zu trennen.

Insights

  • Our secrets definitely keep us addicted, which is probably why there are online sites where people can divest them-
    selves of their secrets, anonymously. But because shame happens between people, there is no substitute for telling
    on ourselves, so to speak, to someone else and making ourselves vulnerable. Vulnerability is the birthplace of connec-
    tion and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive.

Conditional regular love and unconditional authentic love

  • The difference between regular love as we tend to practice it in physical life we tend to place conditions, we tend to have actual contracts like marital contracts, and we expect people to stand by the contracts whether they feel love for us or not. Unconditional love is when you love somebody enough that what you want but them is for them to have what they want for themselves. And if what they want for themselves is not quite what do you want in the relationship uncondi-
    tional love for yourself allows you to leave the relationship. And if that person doesn't want to lose you, if they love
    you and want to give you what you want, they will stay in the relationship but it will be a much more real relationship
    then a conditional one where two people are doing it out of obligation. Video interview Anita Moorjani (*1959) Indian-Sin-

  • Question – Mary Hynes, host: Is marriage a particularly fertile place for dark nights of the soul to come about?
    Answer – Thomas Moore: Marriage is a great mystery. [...] It is mysterious how you meet the person, what attracted one person to the other. [...] After you have lived together for a while it gets even worse, more entangled. Marriage is a great example of the life of a soul. [...] When you marry someone else you are really getting linked up with their soul which is largely unconscious to them. [...] The marriage often contradicts your conscious desires and wishes for it. [...] You got into something that is full of soul and heart. [...] The families are very much part of the married, the families get married, too. [...] It is an illusion that is only about two people trying to be compatible. [...] You may not be compatible
    at all, but still you want to be together. Audio interview with Thomas Moore, Ph.D. (*1940) US American professor of religious studies, Catholic monk, psychotherapist, musician, writer, Marrying God. Diary of a Poet-Priest, Dark Nights

The hierarchical relationship between teacher and student

The heterarchical relationship between coach and coachee

  • The hierarchical relationship becomes a disservice not only to the student who gets taken advantage of, but actually it becomes a disservice to the teacher because their possibility to evolve personally, to their possilbilty to learn from life to become a better vehicle of love actually gets shut down.
    The [humility and shadow work of a teacher who failed] is bypassed when we have this pedestal thing going on. This is where the democratization from a teacher/student relationship to a coaching relationship is such a relief and such an evolutionary invitation for everyone.

Self-expansion via one's partner

  • We enter relationships because the other person becomes part of ourselves, and that expands us. That's why people who fall in love stay up all night talking and it feels really exciting. We think couples can get some of that back by doing challenging and exciting things together. Arthur Aron (*1945) US American psychologist, relationship researcher, social neuroscientist, Stony Brook University, cited in: article The Science of a Happy Marriage, presented by the US American daily newspaper The New York Times, Tara Parker-Pope, 10.

  • A perfect relationship, I think, is one that delivers the lessons we have chosen to learn. Likely it won't always meet our definition of "bliss."

But we humans are brilliant at choosing, with unerring precision, exactly the partners we need to learn what we must. Richard Bach (*1936) US American writer, Illusions.

  • Do not accuse each other of being uncons-
    cious.
    The moment you start to argue, you have identified with a mental position and are now de-
    fending not only that position but also your sense of self. The ego is in charge. You have become un-
    conscious. At times, it may be appropriate to point out certain aspects of your partner's behavior. If you are very alert, very present, you can do so without ego involvement – without blaming, accusing, or making the other wrong.
    When your partner behaves unconsciously, re-
    linquish all judgement.
    Judgement is either to
    confuse someone's unconscious behavior with
    who they are or project your own unconscious-
    ness onto another person and mistake that for
    who they are. To relinquish judgement does not mean that you do not recognize dysfunction and unconsciousness when you see it. It means "being in the knowing" rather than "being the reaction" and the judge. You will then either be totally free of reaction or you may react and still be the knowing, the space in which the reaction is watched and allowed to be. Instead of fighting the darkness, you bring in the light. Instead of reacting to delusion, you see the delusion yet at the same time look through it. Being the knowing creates a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and people to be as they are. No greater catalyst for transformation exists. If you practice this, your part-
    ner cannot stay with you and remain unconscious.
    If you both agree that the relationship will be your spiritual practice [...] Learn to give expression to what you feel without blaming. Eckhart Tolle [LoC 525⇒240] (*1948) German-born Canadian teacher on spirituality, bestselling author, The Power of Now.

Quoted from the American comedy-drama film My Dinner with Andre, 1981

 

  • ANDRÉ GREGORY: There are some pretty good reasons for being frightened, because first of all a human being is a dangerous and complex creature. I mean, really, if you start living each moment – Christ, that's quite a challenge. I mean, if you really reach out and you're really in touch with the other person – well, that really is something to strive for.

  • ANDRÉ GREGORY: I think that's why people have affairs. [...] It's a good feeling. But then that feeling goes very quickly. [...] Well, have an affair and up to a certain point you can really feel you're on firm ground. There is a sexual conquest to be made. There are different questions: does she enjoy the ears being nibbled? how intensely can you talk about Schopenhauer at an elegant French restaurant, or whatever nonsense it is. It's all I think to give you the semblance that there's firm earth. But have a real relationship with a person that goes on for years – well, that's completely unpredictable. Then, you've cut off all your ties to the land, and you're sailing into the unknown, into uncharted seas.

And when the designs of power change, those people will separate and there's nothing they can do in the meantime about it. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

 

  • Reciprocity, a symbiotic relationship, is a relationship in which two people have worked out certain terms. I am
    using you in certain ways; you are using me in certain ways. That is a balanced relationship. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

 

 

  • Let us say that you wanted a romantic partner who is in a higher state of mind, a nicer person. The reason you will
    meet that person is because you are in a state of mind that will cause that meeting to occur.

Soul mates

  • In the classical spiritual definition, a soul mate is someone that you have reincarnated with many times. You find each other in many lifetimes.
    Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

 

  • You and I might define a 'soul mate' differently. For most people, a soul mate has some kind of a sexual connotation. But in the classical spiritual definition, a soul mate is someone that you have reincarnated with many times. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by rama-
    quotes.com

 

  • A soul mate is not necessarily someone with whom you set up housekeeping. Your soul and their soul have a multi incarnation attraction. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

Attached dependency

 

  • Love has very little to do with a person. It comes from us. You can love a surprisingly great number of people. To love
    is to be balanced, to extend one's self beyond the sense of self. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998)
    US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

Deeper nonpossessive love

  • There is wisdom to loving. One must just love more deeply and without the sense of what you love being your personal possession.
    Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

 

  • Love is something that comes to us in life. Quietly, it overwhelms us. It is something that you cultivate. You make it happen. Frederick Philip Lenz, III, Ph.D. [Rama] (1950-1998) US American Buddhist spiritual teacher, Sexuality, presented by ramaquotes.com

Horizontal love ⇔ vertical love – D. Hawkins

Ordinary "Love" – Solar Plexus based – Confrontation – Friction – LoC 145 plus/minus
  • Horizontal relationships are happening within the instinctual realm.
  • Solar plexus driven relationships are force based. They serve to satisfy one's needs and wants first.
  • Conventional mating is a product of the animal.
  • If someone wants, desires, and controls you you tend to resist that.

Keywords: drivenness by sex hormones, adrenaline, desire, wanting, craving, addiction, passion (being madly in love), excitement, involvement, emotional force (possessiveness / resistance), control, attraction, drama, melodrama, winning over, short-lived infatuations, lovers coming and going, may flip into hate, revenge, jealousy (even murder or suicide)

True Love – Alignment – Two parallel lines – No friction – LoC 500+
  • A vertical relationship is directed towards God.
  • Both partners are on the spiritual path.
  • They are both aligned with
    • the good and the welfare of the relationship.
    • the happiness of their partner in life.
    • supporting their partner to fulfill their potential.
    • purpose, the higher path, and long term ideals and/or goals.
  • Both partners choose the attitude of "It's OK with me, dear."
  • Both partners forego satisfying their own desires or drivenness to win an argument.
    The more one foregoes one's own wants, desires and cravings for the sake of the relationship mysteriously the happier one gets.
    Making those you love happy is joyful.
  • Whoever treats his relationship at least as well as one's pet will be happy.
  • There is no specialness "out there".
    The concept of specialness is connected with survival (starting with mother) and a projection onto things, other people, and the world.
    Instead learn to make everything in your life special.
  • If someone simply loves you you cannot stop it.

Mature undivided love ⇔ immature divided romance

       Indiviual means undivided.       
That's the meaning of the word. When a person gets to a place of fulfillment [influence, leadership] they are supposed to be undivided. 'The undivided person will act in the interest of the community unity rather than the interest of dividing into factions. So one way to critique the people on top – if they have the opportunity to use power and they are not using it
to create unity and benefit for other – [is to say that] they are not truly an individual [as] they are still divided and they are acting out that inner division.

       Romance              Love       
Romance can be defined as [two] fractional people who are looking for the rest of themselves. The gender roles make us into fractional people instead of whole people.
It's very intense because you're looking for the rest of yourself in someone else.
But it's doomed because nobody can be you.
Love is two whole people.
Romance is wanting the other person. It's about possession.Love is wanting what's best for the other person.

       Romance              Love       
There is a difference between romance and love.
Romance might die, while true love does not. Love is easy when romance still lights everything in shades of pink, when the experience of a relationship is like the canvas of a sweet Impressionistic painting.Often the true path of love begins only when romance has begun to taper off, for love is the capacity to see light when darkness has begun to eclipse it. Once the reality of our wounding reveals the darkness still lurking in all of us, romance might die, while true love does not.

Oxytocin – the bonding chemical

Oxytocin, the human glue, is infused during pregnancy and breast-feeding which helps the mother in the bonding process
with her infant. When a woman has sex with a man, the neuo-peptide [and hormone] oxytocin is released into her system to strenghten the bond with her lover. If a woman has multiple sexual partners her levels of oxytocin are lowered. This can inhibit her ability to bond to her husband or significant others.

 

Comparing sex to drug use, Drs. Diggs and Keroack, said the hormone produced by the brain after orgasm, oxytocin, will eventually diminish
a person's ability to form emotional attachments. Premarital sex can lead to overproduction of oxytocin.

 

"People who have misused their sexual faculty and become bonded to multiple persons will diminish the power of oxytocin to maintain a permanent bond with an individual." Dr. John Diggs, Dr. Eric James Keroack, US American deputy assistant secretary for
Health and Human Services, paper for Abstinence Medical Council, Abstinence Clearinghouse, 2001

Gifts of love and freedom

I saw a woman sleeping. In her sleep she dreamt Life stood before her, and held in each hand a gift
– in the one Love, in the other Freedom.
And she said to the woman, "Choose!"
And the woman waited long: and she said, "Freedom!"
And Life said, "Thou hast well chosen. If thou hadst said "Love"',
I would have given thee that thou didst ask for; and returned to thee no more.
Now the day will come when I shall return. In that day I shall bear both gifts in one hand."

I heard the woman laugh in her sleep.

Difference between involvement and alignment – 
exemplified on the marriage of the First Couple Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt [LoC 499] (1882-1945) was the 32nd US president during World War II (1933-1945), 32nd degree Freemason, and war criminal, His wife Eleanor Roosevelt [LoC 495] (1884-1962) was the First Lady of the US of America (1933-1945), supporter of her husband's New Deal policies, advocate for civil rights, enhancer of the status of working women, chairwoman of the United Nations committee that drafted and approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Furthermore, she approved of her husband's mistresses. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had serial longterm mistresses – the first one Missy LeHand, a private secretary. Eleanor, a most controversial First Lady, not only knew about the extramarital relationship, was about to leave the president, yet decided to stay with him upon his plea and allowed Missy and Franklin to occupy adjoining bedrooms in the White House. After that FDR engaged in a "lonely hearts" relationship with Lucy Mercer, an aging but attractive widow. The press at the time of WWII was decent and kept silent. The public did not even know that FDR was reigning from a wheel chair.

A healthy committed relationship means to guard each other's emotional wounds / vulnerabilities. Instead of retiring, shift passions.

Waldinger has unprecedented access to data obtained from 724 men (60 of which are still alive in their 90ties) during the long-term Grant study (1938-2015) as to how one may build a fulfilling, happy, long life.
1. Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Social connections are really good for humans. Loneliness toxifies and kills.
2. The quality of close relationships (at age 50) matter (at age 80).
3. Good relationships don't just protect our bodies but also our brains.
