Partnering In Personas

We all have many personas, some of them easy for us to love, some extremely difficult to accept. Much of the art of relationship is a collaboration to bring forth the personas we can easily love within one another and continue to develop the wisdom through healing to embrace more of the personas within and without that we currently judge, deny and hate.

This dance can be done very consciously. As an example: There are many people who’s political or intellectual persona my intellectual bigot persona judges and feels disgusted with. Because it does not serve to alienate half of you, I don’t bring that persona into this space and speak from personas you and I both enjoy and feel accepted by. The fact that I have a political bigot persona  does not make the persona I bring here any less real.

Action: Make a conscious effort to engineer the environment to induce the personas within yourselves and your partner that bring you together. Find other relationships that can accept the personas your partnership cannot so that all the parts that you want to grow inside yourself have a home.
