Understanding Spiritual Partnerships

Sep8

Job Well Done

Spiritual partnership is a partnership
Between equals with the aim of spiritual
Growth. Friendships aren’t spiritual because friends don’t
Want to rock the boat which is the reason they won’t
Help you get past the surface of your rationale
That’s afflicted. In essence, they don’t give a rip.

Friends will try to console, empathize, and relate
To your issues. They’ll try to make you feel better
When you’re not feeling happy. But they’ll never try
To get down to the nitty gritty and ask why
You’ve allowed your illusion of fear to fetter
Your spirit and the will within you to create.

A spiritual partner will help you look at
Where your bad experiences are coming from.
They won’t say, “Things will get better so don’t worry.”
A spiritual partner is likely to be
An annoyance at times and you may hate them some.
Sometimes friendships and marriages don’t go for that.

Friends will huddle together to keep from being
Buffeted by the winds. Spiritual partners
Want to know where the wind comes from. Never are they
Critical or judgmental. In truth they will stay
In compassion which is what the hurt soul prefers.
Spiritual partners aren’t always agreeing.

Spiritual Growth Requires Relationships

Matching Pieces

The substance of your interactions with others
Forms the basis of your spiritual growth. You
Need relationships that will help you to become
More emotionally evolved. When you come from
A place of love you have no problem getting through
Difficulties as your own life story occurs.

As you interact with others you activate
Loving and frightened parts of them. They do the same
To your loving and frightened parts. Between the two
You must distinguish and it will benefit you
To choose consciously. You have but yourself to blame
For relinquishing power and not thinking straight.

When you consciously choose love while you’re feeling fear
That’s creating authentic power. It may be
Difficult in the beginning but with practice
You will be in a perpetual state of bliss
And the angry part of your personality
Will diminish and in a short time disappear.

The part of you that’s grateful, appreciative,
Content, caring, and patient is who you want to
Give attention to. Relationships are the key
To spiritual growth and living happily.
People benefit greatly from this part of you
And for you this can be the only way to live.

Free Yourself Of Negative Thoughts

Disgusted

There are many parts of your personality.
There’s the part who is scared and the one who protects
The one who is fearful. They both serve the ego.
There are others about which you don’t have to know
Except that when they’re unified in all respects
Then you will have evolved much spiritually.

To be well integrated is to be aligned
With your purpose in such a way that all the parts
Of your person are present and on the same page.
How you feel in the present moment is your gauge
Of success. The beginning of your journey starts
With a step into a different frame of mind.

Once you’ve made the commitment to free yourself from
That scared person inside you you’ll notice that there’s
A clear decision point at which your growth takes place.
Spiritual growth happens when you can embrace
The alternative that most effectively spares
You of misery. You don’t want to beat that drum.

Relax and lean away from that dastardly thing
That upset you. Give it room to pass right through you
Without stopping to fester inside of your mind.
With all parts of the personality combined
In one functional being you’re more able to
Deal with whatever in your life is happening.
