Honoring Your Good!...Part II©
It’s great to be asked my thoughts, opinions, insight and experience. It is a blessing to be blessed and know that you are blessed. It is further a blessing to live blessed. For me and Greta that is living our mantra; We Are Love, Peace, Happy, Prosperous, Abundant and Joy. We are… the words that follow are so powerful, illuminating and grounding. We Are ONE!!!
These words that compose our mantra are more than mere words. They are the trees of life. They provide grounding, support and assurance. They are spring boards to our being and our present state of mind. The best person to remind you of who you are and what you are about is you, yourself, in our case it is Gary A. and Greta.
On a daily basis, we remind ourselves of who we are and what we are about. We use this power at our disposal. Some days we are better at it than others. In recognizing and claiming our power we recognize the breath of life that God has breathed into us. We recognize the part of each other that is made in God’s image. We recognize each other’s souls and we tap into eternity as we begin to live as the god and goddess that God made us.
As we do so, we truly experience peace, love and joy. We rise above the hustle and bustle of life that wants to claim so much of our attention, time and energy. We live within the presence of God and thus we treat each other with love, dignity and respect. In doing so, I am treated as a god and I treat Greta like a goddess. It is wonderful to be cherished honored and treated well by the one I love. It’s wonderful to be valued.
My opinion is not only sought out it is acknowledged and taken into consideration. I am made to feel that I matter. This feeling helps me to live and not merely exist. It is so drab and unfulfilling to merely exist, to go through the motions, doing repetitious things day in and day out, not feeling whole rather feeling like a machine.
Being a god let’s me know that I have the ability to create and to first create on a spiritual realm. This creation helps me on a physical, emotional and heart level. This creation helps me to treat Greta with the love and respect she deserves and desires. It helps me to be open and honest with her and share my goals, dreams, thoughts and experiences without fear. I do not fear that she will judge me or hold anything I say against me. I believe and know that what I have to say and who I am is respected and valued by Greta. I am accepted, just as I am. She acknowledges that I am becoming.
I am reminded of the reality that I live each time I gaze into Greta’s eyes. Truly the eyes are the gateway to the soul and I can peer into her soul and join her spiritually as she and I gaze into each other eyes and share breath. Yes, Yes, Yes, this is a beautiful occurrence, and it just gets better with time. As it does, I am more fulfilled. I am stronger for Greta and I are on the same page. We are journeying together and we are becoming ONE. We are making our special relationship more special. We are not taking each other’s love and support for granted. We cherish it. We nurture it, we grow it. Our biggest tool is communication. We talk, talk and talk as we listen, listen and listen. As we do so, we learn more about each other and we learn more about ourselves as a husband and wife and a working unit.
We know that we were put together for a purpose. We know our purpose is to heal marriages. We first had to start with our own. To do so we had to rid ourselves of lots and lots of baggage and misconceptions. We had to come to know what we believe and why. We had to be willing to discard teachings and learning that didn’t work for us (we had to clean out our spiritual and emotional closets).
In growing my soul, I have to come face to face with my own chauvinism and machismo training and tendencies. I had to develop my sensitive side. I grew up in a household with six (6) other males, five (5) older brothers and my father. There was a lot of testerone and competition. There was a lot of fighting for space and acknowledgement on my part. I had to remind my older siblings that I was more than someone who needed direction. In my relationship with Greta; I had to come to respect Greta differently. I had to come to know that she had thoughts, ideas and abilities equal and in some cases superior to my own. I had to come to understand that wife and helpmate means helpmate and teammate. I had to come to know that she is not the weaker sex!
I had to come to learn to share the responsibility of our marriage and understand that it was not all up to me and that I did not need to control everything and make everything work. I had to come to an expanded version of “being the man.” I had to come to understand the true meaning of partnership. Believe me this didn’t happen overnight.
In coming into this understanding, my concept of god/goddess expanded. For me, it makes sense that we are souls having a human experience. It makes sense that souls like energy is neither created nor destroyed. It makes sense that God resides within us and that we need to develop our spirit and ourselves to be in deeper relationship with God. There is so much contained within my consciousness that it is bourgeoning to get out. In some ways this understanding gave me permission to focus on me and not so much others and definitely not Greta.
I need to know me better so that I can give Greta me. I need to know my strengths and weaknesses, my pains, pleasures, desires and wants, my yearning and those things that engage and compel me, so that I can share them with my wife and soul mate. To do so, makes me strong and not weak. It allows me to live freely in MY power. It allows me to be loving and encouraging. It allows me to give Greta the space she needs to grow and blossom. I need not control her. I need only to love and empower her. In doing so, I do it unto myself.
What is good for her is good for me and so as I develop so does she. As you go through the rest of your week, I offer the following affirmations to help you in developing yourself for further intimacy with your lover and helpmate.
In loving (your lovers’ name), I love me.
In respecting (your lovers’ name), I respect me.
In freeing (your lovers’ name), I free me.
In empowering (your lovers’ name), I empower me.
Peace be unto you…as you co-create the marriage and life of your dreams!
