Spiritual relationship

If You Can't Define What a Spiritual Relationship is. You Can't Have One!
by Hu Dalconzo


Spiritual Relationships are the closest thing to heaven that you can experience on earth.
A spiritual relationship is formed when two (or more) people come together, as equals, for the purpose of spiritual growth. Within a Spiritual Relationship, both parties agree that nothing is more important than their spiritual evolution. Spiritual relationships create a synergy, which enables each partner to spiritually evolve faster than they could alone. This divine energy is what I believe Jesus was referring to when he said, "Where two or more are gathered in my name!"

One of the best ways for you to support your spiritual growth is to be in a relationship with someone who wants to create a "partnership" that is emotionally intimate and spiritually conscious. Spiritual relationships accelerate your Self-mastery growth process because they create a space where it is safe to feel what you are feeling. No matter how long you've been on a spiritual path, sooner or later you must "get off your knees" and apply what you have learned.

SPIRITUAL PARTNERS help each other stay conscious to the fact that they are "in the world, but not of the world." I once heard Ram Dass use a humorous term to describe this, he called it "Nobody Training." Nobody training means to stay consciously aware that the human identities that you use in daily life (father, doctor, teacher etc.) are what you do, not who you are. You are a spiritual being who uses many different human identities (roles) to function on the earth plane. The Itivuttaka Sutta describes nobody training this way, "the one who beholds that which has become, as become passes beyond that becoming and is released from craving for sensation. In that which really is, he understands becoming. Free from longing for birth or death, he finds the true meaning of the end of becoming."

When you fall asleep spiritually by getting caught up in the many dramas of your life, hopefully your spiritual partner will be able to notice and know how to signal you in some way, which helps you to reawaken to the fact that you are "in the world, but not of the world."

RELATIONSHIP MASTERY is not something that happens on a secluded mountaintop; that's renunciation! Mastery happens in the midst of life. It is rising above the petty old world relationship models, not escaping from them. Instead, we need to emotionally elevate them to a higher form of communication. Relationship mastery means to reach beyond your FEAR IDENTITIES, with a committed spiritual partner, to create an environment rich in love, honesty, and trust. This spiritually rich environment creates emotional intimacy, which makes your life feel more like you are in heaven, rather than on earth!

There are many different kinds of relationships: father-son, mother-daughter, daughter-father, son-mother, husband-wife, friends, soul mates, spiritual business partnerships, brother-sister, significant others, and career/work-place relationships. With a willing partner, you can transform each of these relationships into a consciously awakened, spiritually based, loving relationship!

Your HEART CHAKRA1 will keep opening as you consciously develop spiritually awakened, loving relationships. Openness is the foundational core of loving relationships. There is no better way to open your heart chakra than through inter-communications with people who are creating consciously awakened SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS.

A SPIRITUALLY CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP is a covenant based on the highest degree of truth and integrity. You recognize your equality by acknowledging that you are both unique manifestations of the same Spirit. This awareness allows you to see past any negative human identities (roles) that may emerge. Instead, you focus on the Spirit within you. When you are in Spirit, you are ONE with the Universe and therefore you can experience a Namaste2 relationship. You bond with the understanding that you are together because it is appropriate for your souls to grow together. You consciously recognize that you are both in the process of spiritual growth, and that a commitment to be emotionally honest is essential.

EMOTIONAL HONESTY takes courage. This courage is built upon TRUST, which develops as partners learn, through experience, that within the relationship it's emotionally safe to share their feelings. This trust and emotional safety allows you to be EMOTIONALLY INTIMATE.

I first became awakened to the difference between "old world" co-dependent relationships and the "new world" inter-dependent relations after reading Gary Zukav's book, The Seat of the Soul. Gary taught me that SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS are much freer then the "old world models," because spiritual relationships allow you to leave behind the stereotypical roles that existed merely for survival. By leaving these roles behind, you align yourself with the Universal Spirit for the evolution of your immortal soul. By making the choice to be in a consciously awakened, spiritual relationship, you are choosing to respond to your partner with compassion and love, instead of doubt and fear.

SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIPS create INTIMACY, which in turn provides a safe space where you can willingly surrender your ego defenses. In such a relationship, you feel free to share your innermost secrets, repressed feelings, and emotions. This creates a sacred space where it feels safe to be emotionally vulnerable. This spiritually secure space allows you to feel safe enough to open up emotionally and share with your partner your innermost thoughts and feelings. In this divine space, you are free to stand emotionally naked, with no mind games or premeditated thoughts, which allow you to communicate the truth of your being.

Spiritual partners DO NOT commit to having "perfect" behavior. What they DO commit to is owning their "imperfect" behavior as quickly as humanly possible.

RELATIONSHIP MASTERY requires you to educate yourself about the ways in which your spiritual partners were emotionally wounded. With this knowledge you can help them heal by avoiding words or deeds that unconsciously trigger feelings that are still very tender. Also, you need to view your spiritual partner as your best counselor rather than your worst critic. This is because your partner will mirror back to you that which you most need in order to heal emotionally. Remember that intimacy creates emotional safety and when people feel safe, their passion comes alive!

Namaste, my soul friends..... Hu Dalconzo
