Ascension With A Mate

[Engtovo]

As hard as it is to do the path alone I think believing it would somehow be easier with a mate is just an expression of our needs and desires to connect with other human beings on a deep level.  The truth being that two people trying to do it at the same time with all the processing and issues flying to the surface has the potential to cause irreparable harm to the relationship between them, thus causing another hurdle to get over to ascend.  I am sometimes shocked that my mom and my brother and I haven't killed each other.  The difference is though that we are not trying to sustain a intimate relationship at the mate level which is a whole different level of intimacy and vulnerability especially when you bring sexuality into the mix.  Sometimes we can get really engaged and say nasty things to each other that we get over, but if my mate said to me things that my brother says for example getting over it and being close sexually would be really hard.


Engtovo's Note:  It's not immpossible though if you were both raised in a healthy family so your issues are not family dysfuntion related.
