“As temples of healing, our relationships are like trips to the Divine doctor’s office. How can a doctor help us if we don’t show him our wounds? Before they can be healed, the nests of our fear must be uncovered. If a relationship allows us to avoid our unhealed pains, we are hiding in it, […]

Searching for ‘Mr. Right’ leads to despair
“Our task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within ourselves that we have built against its coming. To think that there is a special person out there who will save us is a barrier to pure love. It is one of the most fearsome weapons […]

Unexpressed Anger Erodes Relationships
“It is much better to express our feelings than to suppress them. Anger is often the result of a series of unexpressed feelings that build up within us and finally explode. In a holy relationship, we believe part of our responsibility is to constantly express our honest feelings and to support our partner in doing […]

If the train doesn’t stop at your station
“Fears in relationship are usually rooted in our agendas for the other person or the relationship. It is not our job to try to make a relationship what we think it should be. If someone is not acting like a great romantic lover, perhaps they are not meant to be one for us. That does […]

What does it mean Commitment in relationship
“A Course in Miracles says that we must be totally committed to all our relationships, and they will never compete. Commitment in a relationship means commitment to the process of mutual understanding and forgiveness—no matter how many conversations it takes, and no matter how uncomfortable those conversations may be at times. When we physically separate […]

Forgiveness for our parents
“There is no enlightenment without forgiveness for our parents. Whether we like it or not, our mother is our primary archetype of the adult female, and our father is our primary archetype of the adult male. If I am a man and I harbor resentment toward my mother, I will continually project guilt onto other […]

Honesty as a Spiritual Practice
“A good relationship is not always champagne and roses. It is a birthing process, often bloody and painful… A ‘spiritual relationship’ is not necessarily a relationship where two people are constantly smiling. For me, ‘spiritual’ means, above all, ‘authentic’… And so we create relationships for shared work. Real work can only happen in the presence […]

What It Means to Surrender to God
Going through extreme forms of powerlessness and despair is an inevitable stage in the spiritual process of transformation. And it is very important to understand this, because recognizing this turning point helps intense suffering become a conscious act of spiritual surrender. Below is the story of Marianne Williamson, author of the bestseller A Return to […]

Gray clouds are never eternal
“A spiritual teacher from India once pointed out that there is no such thing as a gray sky. The sky is always blue. Sometimes, however, gray clouds arrive and cover the blue. Then we think the sky is gray. The same is true of our minds. We are always perfect. We cannot be otherwise. Fear […]

Healing does not occur in the past
“The study of the past can help us clarify many of our problems, but healing does not occur in the past. It occurs in the present. There is a current mania for blaming childhood events for our present despair. What the ego doesn’t want us to see is that our pain doesn’t come from the […]

How to prepare for a deep relationship
“…I realized that I needed to help a man feel more like a man, rather than wasting my time worrying about whether he IS enough of a man. Part of our work on ourselves, in order to prepare for a deep relationship, is learning how to support another person in manifesting their very best self.” […]
