My husband and I have been to hell and back. Well, I would suppose that’s true of most marriages, but hey, that makes it no less real to me. These days, however, we are learning to embrace the understanding that relationships are for growth, and that love, sex, unity – those are just byproducts of that growth. (Basically, not putting the cart before the horse). I’d like to share a bit on what I learned about communication with him with all of you.
He and I had gotten into an argument. I’ve learned it’s best to keep my cool during arguments, as anger, rage and feelings of victimhood ALWAYS ruin my day. 🙂 After about 2 hours of discussion that got us nowhere, and rather than take his rants personal, I listened with my discernment as to where those rants were coming from. You see, we all can ONLY come from ourselves. We are ALWAYS seeing through our own eyes/experiences/judgment. And what we don’t say/do is just as important as what we do say/do in communication. My discernment told me clearly that he was speaking from his fear. I immediately remembered the quote, “We cannot solve our problems with the same consciousness we used when we created them.” –Albert Einstein.
Light Bulb!
Now, it’s my impression that fear is always based in logic. Our argument, because it was based in fear, could NOT be solved with the intellect, the same entity that invites fear to dwell unassumingly, masking itself as a source of viable reasoning.
So I sent him a text message: “I have some healing for you, if you’d like. I can see where you’re hurting, and if you’d like to work with me, I’m offering myself. Through sex. No more talking. Just let me work on you. Let me know if you’re willing.”
What do you think he said?
My point: Sometimes problems need to be un-intellectualized so that they can be eradicated.
After all, our argument was based on a fear he never named, but my discernment saw very clearly: That I’m really not that into him. That I can’t see how absolutely extraordinary he is and honor that spark within him. That he isn’t enough.
On my way home, I picked up some jasmine oil so that we could easily be calmed, and a book on Kalachakra Tantra which spoke about the path of preparing for the blissful union. I played a Destruction of Negative Energy frequency in our bedroom so as to make a clean sweep of any excuses that lay there prior. I went over and above the intellect, the ego, and invited a full pouring-out of our natural birthright: Abundance.
There is no lack. There is nothing to fear. We are enough.
Peace and Love,
