In this Soul Feast Gary explores the deeper dimensions of spiritual partnership, a relationship between equals committed to spiritual growth. He explains how this new archetype of relationship differs from traditional relationships based on external power, emphasizing the importance of emotional awareness, responsible choice, and mutual support in a spiritual partnership.
Spiritual partnership is not about security in relationships through control or transactional exchanges, as seen in the old consciousness of five-sensory relationships. Instead, it is about helping each other recognize and move beyond fear-based reactions while cultivating love-based choices.
This journey requires courage, vulnerability, and a willingness to face the frightened parts of our personalities that create power struggles.
True spiritual partnerships flourish when both individuals remain committed to spiritual growth and authenticity. Unlike conventional relationships, which often seek stability through attachment, spiritual partnerships remain meaningful only as long as growth continues.
By aligning the personality with the soul’s intentions—harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life—spiritual partners support each other in moving toward authentic power.
