If we have to compromise living our deepest Truth in the name of or for the sake of Love, it’s not Love.
It is addiction.
It is obsession.
It is attachment.
But it’s not LOVE.
Shattering compromises happen in relationships when people are attached, addicted or obsessed with the idea of Love.
Because I love you, I’ll settle for less.
Because I love you, I’ll put aside my inner truth.
Because I love you, I’ll give up on living my life as a full and unapologetic expression of myself.
Because you love me, don't shine so bright.
Because you love me, adjust to me.
Because you love me, you should be what I think you should be.
This is against the very essence of LOVE.
Love is not a martyr. It’s not a victim. It’s not a compromise.
There is Love, and there is Relationship.
One has nothing to do with another.
We can love without a relationship.
And we can relate without love.
Love doesn’t grow or diminish because we enter a relationship.
The KEY ISSUE here is that we forgot that WE ARE LOVE.
And that no one else is needed to be who we are.
We only need another to feel LOVE or LOVED when we forgot that we are IT ourselves.
If you don’t realize you are already LOVE, the relationship will just be a reflection of every part of you that doesn’t love yourself. It will mirror all of those pieces.
In this sense, the partner we attract is always the right partner.
Relationships are a Super Power for awakening, because we can’t hide from our own darkness anymore. It is being brought to Light by the mere presence of another.
Relationship will show us our whole Underworld if we are willing to hang in there and stay open, until... we return to LOVE that we are.
And if we are not aware, we'll project our Underworld on to them by making them responsible for it.
It’s time to wake up for all of us.
The Sacred Union is to be uncovered within... first and foremost.
We may need each other to REMEMBER that we are Love,
But we don't need each other to BE LOVE.
