When you commit to a spiritual partnership with another human being, you bring the energy of the archetype of spirtual partnership into the physical arena. You begin to form and to live by the values, perceptions, and actions that reflect equality with your partner and a committment to his or her own spiritual development and your own. You begin to set aside the wants or your personality (ego)-emphasis mine ..to accomodate the needs of your partner's spiritual growth, and in doing that, you grow yourself. That is how spiritual partnership works.
*You begin to see that what is necessary to the health of your partnership is identical with what is necessary to your own spiritual growth, that each of you holds the pieces that the other is missing. If you are jealous, for example, you will find that jealousy is what brings to the surface in your partner an aspect that needs to be healed, and that that aspect is mirrored in yourself. You begin to value your partner's contribution to your own development. You experience that his or her own perceptions and obeservations are helpful, and indeed, central to your own growth, that conversations between you stir deep waters.
*You learn that your committment is must be translated into a form that satisfies the needs of both you and your partner. You learn to value the needs of your partner as much as you value your own, because the partnership that you both want requires two HEALTHY inwardly secure individuals.
*You learn to trust not only each other, but also your own ability to grow together. You learn that you put your partnership most at risk by avoiding that which you are most afraid will destroy it. It is not easy to express what is inside of you, especially that which makes you feel vulnerable or painful or upset. These are the emotions that can empower words that can either do damage or do so much healing. You learn that sharing your concerns with consideration and the intention to heal and trust in the process is the only appropriate avenue. As you approach your needs with courage instead of fear you ignite a sense of trust. The true human condition in its most perfect from has no secrets. It does not hide, but exists in clear love.
*You learn NOT to do stupid and careless thing to each other. You learn that wanting what you want is not enough, but that you must both it deeply and create it every day, that you must bring it into being and hold it in being with your intentions. As the consciousness of each of you becomes lighter, your partnership becomes richer.*You learn NOT to do stupid and careless thing to each other.

*You learn the value of considering the other's posistion. By becoming the other person, by truly walking into the fears of the other and then returning to your own being again, you open up the conversation to transcend the personal and become healing at the impersonal. This allows you to see each other as spiritual playmates as you work through areas that require healing in each one of you.
