I’d like to share my experience during our Journey Community phone call last Saturday. Several things Gary and Linda said made an immediate impact. When Linda asked what was I doing to be a spiritual partner to someone in my life who was distant or who didn’t talk, I felt my body tense and had a nauseous feeling in my upper abdomen. I knew instantly that I was doing NOTHING to be a spiritual partner to my husband who I/frightened part feel is frequantly distant, doesn’t talk and shuts me out of his life. My fp was telling me that if he didn’t want to be a spiritual partner to me that it was futile to try and work on a spiritual partnership with him. It hadn’t previously occurred to me that I had a huge fp that was attached to the outcome as to whether he responded to me or not. The real question for me is what am I doing in my life to create Authentic Power and live my life from love not fear. And why was I not seeing my husband as a soul who was acting from his own pain and fear? As I sat with this realization I had the thought that perhaps I had a fp that really did’t want him to be my spiritual partner; that was feeling superior, who was keeping myself distant and who didn’t want to even try to talk to him about what was going on with me. Oh how twistedly my fp’s contort my life! Projection at its finest. I did challenge this fp. It was extremely difficult for me to approach my husband by talking to him about what I wanted to learn about myself but i did it. And the results were nothing that my fp believed. I am so grateful for this process!! Namaste, Pam Meyer

Beautiful Pam. That reminds me of something Gary said on Oprah in 1998 or 1999 that has always supported me. I remember him saying to not focus on what my partner was doing or how he was being in the relationship, but to focus on who I was being in the relationship, to ask myself “am I being who I desire to be?” I am excited to hear how this unfolds for you.
Love,

Hi Pam,
Thank you for that beautiful sharing. It reminded me of something that happened with me around the holidays. One Saturday my partner & I had plans to do some shopping. I like to get an early start on things and so I got up early and was ready to go. I did not communicate this to her and as morning was turning to afternoon I could feel my fp’s judging her for always making me wait. I sat with that I thought wow what can I learn about this? I could see her pulling away and I knew I was creating distance between us. I did something in that moment that took a lot of courage for me and that was not to withdraw but I told her that I did not want to feel distant from her and that I had a fp active that I would like to share with her. It was beautiful for me as I had no attachment I just wanted her to know what was happening with me and what I wanted to look at in me . What could have turned out to be a stressful day turned into a great day and the distance I felt melted away.
Love, Joanne
