Married to a "non-believer"

[Lavazza]

My wife wants nothing to do with spirituality, which has been tough at times. It helps me to remember that all this spiritual stuff is supposed to be helping me lead a more meaningful life. My point being that it is only help, but the world we live in is real life.

I think an important part of what this type of existence can teach us is how to meaningfully, honestly, and fairly interact with other individuals. That a goal of our world. All these ideas are really only help. I try not to let any ideas come between myself and an open and honest interact with someone. If a teaching doesn’t appeal to someone, I say don’t force it. There are other ways to help others understand.

I’ve found that it is best to approach an interaction with what I describe as “your guard down.” This opens you to allow the flow of more positive energy from yourself. Whether others realize it or not they are affected. They no longer tend to view the situation as an attempt to get something from them, but as an honest exchange of information. They are able to get let there guard down because they don’t feel the need to defend their own position. This really seems to help me break down barriers in communication. No one has to defend themselves or their ideas, so everyone can be more open to other ideas.

Keeping “your guard down” has proven to be an incredibly useful skill when dealing with everything from my supervisors at work, to talking to people about religion and spirituality.

The whole dynamic of an interaction can change from separate individuals each espousing and defending there own position, to a group interaction looking for common ground.

Wow, thanks for posting that Mike. I think you've got a great perspective on life, and I really like your idea of approaching every dialog with a guard-down approach. I think that's one of the first things we need to change as a species if we intend to evolve in a more harmonious manner. I suppose you could say that that's one of the basic concepts with interaction in 4th density, or within a social memory complex.

A bit of a coincidence that I should run across your post. I have a wee bit of recurring catalyst that I am working through, and one of the (partial) solutions I had brainstormed the other day would be an attempt at near-complete honesty when interacting with others. It's amazing how frequently in a day we may alter what we say to others to save face, save emotion, or some other reason. Even the small stuff.

Here is a quote that spurred me to consider this.

There is always some difficulty in penetrating blue primary energy for it requires that which your people have in great paucity; that is, honesty. Blue ray is the ray of free communication with self and with otherself
