All I have learned from this is;
1. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
2. If you react at all to your partner's unconsciousness, you become unconscious yourself. But if you then remember to know your reaction, nothing is lost.
The issues of the world in my opinion, violence, division, nationalism, conflict etc. are all reflections of the inner fragmentations of different humans. So I guess, real change cannot come through political structures or social reforms, it requires an origination from mind. The fundamental question becomes whether we can radically transform our conditioned patterns of fear, pride or conflict. If this inner transformation is possible, then a different kind of society more accurately a more compassionate and peaceful society can emerge.
