Spiritual partnership The journey to authentic power
Book - 2010
Zukav writes: "The spiritual development of an individual is not a barn raising made possible by helpful neighbors. Each individual is responsible for his or her own spiritual growth. Spirituality is a journey into self-awareness and self-responsibility. The old type of relationship helped the old humanity survive by focusing the attention of participants outward onto circumstances and people in order to change them. The new type of relationship enables us to grow spiritually by focusing the attention of partners inward onto the interior causes of their painful experiences and destructive actions in order to change them." Spiritual partnerships are not exclusively for couples in marriage or relationships; they can be created in fa...milies, between friends, in the workplace, at school--anywhere two or more individuals decide to create a relationship as equals.--Provided by publisher.
