Achieve true intimacy

Exposing our very soul to ourselves can be scary enough, however the thought of exposing our soul to another person can be somewhat terrifying! However, to achieve true intimacy with another person we must be willing to reveal our naked soul, unencumbered by the external ego that we hide behind.

Is this a possible reason why so many relationships do not last or exist in a roller-coaster of emotions? I would venture to say that this is at the very root of all succesful and failed relationships.

Think about it, if two people could both put aside their ego and the fears that the ego presents to them, if they could bare their souls, without fear of judgement, without fear of being hurt, what type of relationship would you have? You my friend would have the ultimate relationship, you would have in every esscence of the word a “Soulmate Relationship”.

I think it’s important to state that this type of relationship dosen’t just happen. A true soul-mate relationship takes effort from both people. The effort at first begins in being able to ask each other questions, and to be able to answer questions with fully honesty, with introspection.

These questions may uncover truths that you have pushed aside, truths that you have not dared look at in many years. These questions will reveal to you and your soul-mate your naked soul. The answers which will be discovered in the barring of your soul to each other will enable a closeness unlike anything you have ever known. You will grow through this exploration of your own soul and the soul of your soul-mate. At first this may be very scary territory, as you progress in your journey, I assure you that your fear (ego based) will be replaced with a knowing, an unparelleled trust, security and unconditional love!

Note that this ultimate intimate relationship is not a destination, it is a never ending and glorious journey
