man, oh man, oh man. All of us could write a sermon on this...
1.. Yes it has. My close relationship(s) has(Have) been my greatest lesson
in this path.
2.. Poorly to ignored. My wife's perception of spirituality didn't mesh
with what I was going through; she wasn't ready to be as open as one needs
to be to even understand why/how I was processing this stuff. She's just not
there. When my process focused on my personal and professional life, she
assumed my spirituality had disappeared 'for good'. I learned why this path
is so, so lonely. She fears depth in spiritual experience, but needs to know
there's more here than getting and spending money. That's her lesson, not
mine; I won't poke my nose in unless she's ready to listen. I learned my
lesson a long, long time ago. Better to love and keep your mouth shut than
to 'do what's good for them'. It never is. They will tell you what's good
for them, when it's ready.
3.. I had a great teacher; he started me on the 'let it go, man' lesson. I
took it more as a lesson than as a punishment or a relationship foul-up, and
used the output as fertilizer. A lot of times, though, I spiraled into the
self-absorbed martyr stuff, or the 'I'm not even worthy of a relationship,
much less a spiritual gift' stuff. Keeping a sense of humor and perspective
worked. And realizing that I only have so much time on this earth...
4.. Hehe. There are no problems in a relationship (from my point of view).
There's only interaction. I... let it go. I send her to England every couple
of years to figure out why and how much she loves me, and it gives me a
couple months to do intense work - which I'm just coming out of. Just like
any other relationship, I don't know from day to day whether it's a great
day or a lousy day, but just deal with the lesson in front of me. Open
heart, open mind, y'know...

Subject: Re: [K-list] Awakening and Relationship poll Dear List,
I've been wanting to do this poll for ages. To answer Cambeie, perhaps
the
best we can hope for is support, love and humoring :)) until/unless our
significant other is or becomes awakened (which does happen occasionally.)
The question is, how do we deal with the fact that the changes in us
inevitably force changes in our close relationships--either outwardly or
inwardly or both.
Question:
1. Has K awakening affected your close relationships?
2. How have they reacted to your awakening?
Positively?
Negatively?
Neutrally?
3. How have you responded?
4. Did you end up solving the problems that K awakening made in your
relationships, and if so, how did you do this?
Thanks everyone!
