Entwicklungsstufen einer Paarbeziehung

Entwicklungsstufen der Mann-Frau-Beziehung

Der kanadische spirituelle Lehrer Satyen Raja, ein Schüler des Sexualpsychologen David Deida, der zusammen
mit ⚡ Ken Wilber einer der Mitbegründer des Integral Institutes ist, unterscheidet drei Entwicklungstufen (Kategorien)
von Männern und Frauen und des jeweiligen Beziehungsausdrucks.

***Kategorie***	Bewusstseinsstufe	Mann	Frau	Historie Ausdrucksform
Kat. I Körper Grobstofflich Sex	KONSERVATIV Unter BW 200+	Der sprichwörtliche Machomann, der seine Begierden und sein Dominationsgebaren innerhalb des Machtgefälles auslebt	Das Heimchen am Herd, die passive, nachgiebige, bedürftige Frau/Dienerin mit auf den Mann zugeschnittener Sozialisation; sie begnügt sich mit gebrochener Liebe. Stichworte: Küche – Kinder – Kirche	Sterotypen bis in die 50er Jahre Schwächen: Triebbe- friedigung, Druck und Bedürftigkeit
Kat. II Gemüt Subtil Leidenschaft	MODERN Über BW 200+	Der typische Softie, der Frauenversteher, der seine weibliche Seite leben lernt, der sich weder vor Hausarbeit scheut noch vor der Kinderziehung	Die typische Emanze, das Mannweib, die streitbare Frau, die gelernt hat Grenzen zu setzen, indem sie ihre männliche Seite leben lernt, für ihren eigenen Lebensunterhalt sorgt; ihre Sozialisation ist zweiteilig auf beide Genderrollen ausgerichtet. Stichworte: Heilige – Hure – Hexe	Entstand aus der Emanzipations- bewegung der 60er Jahre Schwächen: Erotizismus, Romantik, Sentimentalität, Endlosdiskussionen, Schweigen, Verweichlichung und Verhärtung
Kat. III Geist Kausal Hingabe	INTEGRALITÄT Ab BW 460+	Der spirituell orientierte Krieger mit innerer Mission und Lebensvision, die seine eigene Befriedigung bei Weitem übersteigt, tritt entschieden auf, ist stabil und gelassen, folgt ethisch-geistigen Prinzipien, sorgt für den äußeren Rahmen	Die spirituell orientierte Göttin öffnet sich dem Partner und den Intuitionen aus dem Göttlichen für beide	Ebenbürtige Spirituelle Partnerschaften in Gemeinschaft mit Gott kommen seit Ende der 90er zum Vorschein, werden jedoch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene selten notiert. Stärken: Geübte Liebe, Verletzliche Demut und Anmut in Gott

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
wem ich leben werde. Ich habe keine Ahnung hinsichtlich meiner Liebesbeziehungen. Ich habe keine Ahnung, was
ich meinerseits tun werde. Ich habe keine Ahnung vom Geldfluss. Gegenwärtig habe ich kein Einkommen, so gut
wie kein Einkommen. Office Serie – Farmingdale, New York, Seminar mit David R. Hawkins, M.D., Giving Up Illness and not Recognizing Death through A Course in Miracles, Veranstalter "The Bridgebuilders", Coleman Graphics, 99 Milburn Blvd, Far-

Wenn du Beziehungsprobleme hast, sage: Mir ist es recht. Was immer dich glücklich macht, Schatz. Quelle unbekannt

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

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

Motivational Quotes D. Hawkins, Bestmotivation.com

Du musst Recht haben, du musst Geld verdienen, du musst erfolgreich sein? Die Bedürftigkeit ist hierbei das Problem. Werde stattdessen zu dem, das jene Dinge anzieht. Sedona Seminar Identification and Illusion, 3 DVD-Set, 14. August 2004

Die Partner einer Beziehung bleiben nur zusammen, weil sie entwickelt sind – oder weil sie nicht entwickelt sind. Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 3 DVD-Set, 16. Oktober 2004

Ornamentmalereien, Speyerer Dom
gefertigt von Joseph Schwarzmann, ~1850

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.

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

(↓)

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. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 281, 2003

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.

People only stay together in relationships because they’re evolved – or because they're not evolved.
Sedona Seminar Witnessing and Observing, 3 DVD set, 16. October 2004

(↓)

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."

Spiritual companions mean more to aspirants than their family members and relations.

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.

Very often the purpose of a relationship is to resolve the very issues that arise. The two people don't have to be concordant or at the same level of consciousness. Sedona Seminar Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, 3 DVD set, 21. October 2006

Question: How do you know when it is time to move on from a relationship?
Answer: Surrender it to God, be OK with either outcome.

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.

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.

Liebe ist schwer. Liebhaben von Mensch zu Mensch, das ist vielleicht das Schwerste, was uns aufgegeben ist, das Äußerste, die letzte Probe und Prüfung, die Arbeit, für die alle andere Arbeit nur Vorbereitung ist.

Die erste energetische Beziehungsarbeit ist, anzuerkennen, dass jeder seine Gefühle selbst macht – auch die, von denen er oder sie allzu gern annimmt, sie seien ihm oder ihr 'von außen' hervorgerufen.

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-
wirklichung jedes einzelnen innerhalb der Beziehung. Peter Schellenbaum (1939-2018) Schweizer Psychoanalytiker, Sach-

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. Noch fehlt der Kontakt zum Anderen, der einfach anders ist. Sie wollen einander "integrieren" und unterdrücken die wesentliche Sehnsucht.
Erst wenn wir uns in schweigsamer Tiefe begegnen, wo jeder anders und fremd ist, geschieht Leitbildspiegelung nicht mehr in einer überschaubaren Bilderfolge, sondern in der unstillbaren Sehnsucht zwischen den gespiegelten Bildern.

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.

Marriage

The primary word I-Thou can be spoken only with the whole being. Concentration and fusion into the whole being can never take place through my agency, not can it ever take place without me. I become through my relation to the Thou; and as I become the I, I say Thou. All real living is meeting.

The narrow ridge is the meeting place of the We. This is where man can meet man in community. And only men who are capable of truly saying 'Thou' to one an-

them without losing your ground. And to hold your ground without shutting others out.

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.

On the other side men suffer much more when they are left financially and emotionally and if they are in a relationship benefit from being in the relationship more, but frequently care less about what makes love work.

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.

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."

Bonding power

You see two people together. They're in a relationship. It's really power that holds those people together. And when the designs of power change, those people will separate and there's nothing they can do in the meantime about it.

Reciprocity, a symbiotic relationship, is a relationship in which two people have worked out certain terms. I am

- 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.

Four essential stages of a dating relationship

Stages of coming closer in a relationship

Stage	Focus		Legend
1.	Attraction	Soul, character, heart, mind, voice, body	Feeling drawn to someone (across the room, a photo) as if something is pushing oneself toward them.
2.	Verbal exploration		Beginning to explore each other verbally (not physically). Having conversations to find out the basics (who, where, what) about each other.

3.	Emotional intimacy		Beginning to establish a solid emotional bond and building trust by telling each other things you hesitate to share in general.
4.	Physical intimacy		A sexual relationship is the consummation of the first three stages.

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.

Immature love	Mature love
Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved."	Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love."
Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."	Mature love says: "I need you because I love you."

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.

Selfishness demands, "What's in it for me?"	while Love asks, "What can I give?"

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.

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.
