Bringers of Truth

Relationships are bringers of truth. Through our partner's eyes we have the possibility of seeing things, ugly and beautiful about ourselves that we were not aware of, and which it serves us to recognize and integrate.

When we are unable or unwilling to receive the truth that our relationships bring us, we disconnect from the relationship that confronts us with it either literally or inwardly. We all fear this form of abandonment happening to us. It takes courage to tell our partners the truth, knowing that doing so may lead to us being rejected because our partner is not ready to see parts of themselves.

Ultimately we will eventually be able to face the truth our relationships bring us in this or some other life. When we are, the relationship with our partner can continue.

Action: When you cannot face the truth, be gentle in your separation. Your kindness may give you a relationship to return to when you can face the piece of who you are it offers.
