There is alchemy available to us through our intimate relationships. When we bring our desires, our intentions, and the awareness of the places where we can still grow and become more free in our lives into the crucible of our relationship--great transformation is possible.
Relationship IS a crucible. It is a place where that which was seemingly forged solid in our younger years--our patterns, our neurosis, the places where we compromise for fear of our own unworthiness--can melt in the fires of awareness.
It is an invitation of devotion--devotion to truth, to authenticity, to finding pleasure and even ecstasy in the fire of discomfort and vulnerability.
Safety is essential here. Trust is essential here. Love and appreciation is essential here. In order to create this container of alchemy and transformation, we must become allies with our partner(s).
We must see God in each other, and be willing to choose being CONNECTED over being RIGHT, over and over again.
It is magic in this place of connection where time and space seem not to apply. Where the world that exists outside the container of our awareness and devotion becomes an embodied expression of our intentional desire.
This is embracing relationship as a path towards awakening. It is a path that is equally challenging as it is deeply rewarding, and the world as you know it, without doubt, will irrevocably transform before you eyes.
The only roadmap that exists for this path, is the one that exists within you.
