Amazingly,
only recently I started to walk the process in Self-Agreement. What does this
mean? It means that until now I have been trapping myself into believing that
someone or something outside me would change me or change my reality.
In a world
of mirrors, relationships are a reflection of the mess accepted inside oneself. Even
though I was reading the Desteni material and investigating myself through mind
constructs, I have been perceiving this process as separated from me.
Obviously, this would not going to work and it reached an unsustainable
situation towards my relationship with my partner.
We have been
living together for two years and by that time we established an Agreement. We
wrote down how we would be supporting each other unconditionally as self; how
we would practically and equally be Here as self, walking each one's individual
process, side by side. We also recorded our conversations saying how we would
apply ourselves during the time we would share ahead. The process is indeed
about walking the words.
After
two years, we were still having a relationship and we have
deceived ourselves in thinking we had an agreement.
"Agreement is
not based in thinking, it's based in self honest practical living support of
each other - sharing, respecting, supporting." Bernard Poolman
I was still
feeding a relationship since I haven't established myself as an Agreement with
Self! I was still trying to change
myself for others, instead of changing myself for myself, equal and one with
another. Without realising, I was deceiving myself by going into hope and faith
in believing that the situation would be better in the future and that certain
points within us would simply disappear throughout time. A relationship manifests the relationship one
has with oneself. In my case, it was manifesting self-distrust, self-sabotage,
self-victimisation and self-dishonesty. These patterns were then being
projected towards my partner as blame, expectation, competition and unstability.
This is
exactly what a relationship is based on:
to exist in relation to someone; to exist in comparison to someone; to
exist as the connection with a partner, etc... However, this is not how I want
to exist as! All of that is based on a complete separation and is not me as
Life here in Oneness and Equality.
From my
experience, relationships do not bring any good to Life neither to the world,
quite the contrary: the constant polarity of highs and lows, the needs, the
desires, the memories, the idea of perfections and the separation towards
myself.
As
Bernard Poolman says, "If it is about 'love' -
then, you're screwed. If it is about a life worth living - you have to draw
some lines".
And
that is what an Agreement is about: "An agreement
is a commitment to support each other for Life in strengthening each other
through the support, to bring about a world that's best for all in living it as
the agreement."
First,
there must be an Agreement with Self. It is all-ways about Self. In fact, it
has nothing to do with a partner. I am here alone, walking alone, as all. If I am not an example - I can't have any expectation towards
another being.
Am I Self-Aware in
every moment?
Am I applying myself in self-honesty in every moment of breath?
Am I being an example of Life here on Earth?
Am I pushing myself to face all
issues of Ego that require to be seen and transcended?
Why am I holding on to
personalities, beliefs and ideas about myself?
Who am I trying to cheat?
If
all around me in this society is a bad example of what humans can achieve, one
must find support somewhere else! I am really glad that I have enrolled the
Relationship course as part of the Desteni I Process. I will focus myself on
working on the patterns of self-distrust, self-sabotage,
self-victimisation and self-dishonesty which I have defined me as. I am now on Lesson 1: Who am I in this course? focused on the difference between relationships and agreements and
I already see the importance of the vocabulary shared in the materials, the
explanations of how personality works and manifests in this world. It will
support me to really become effective and established in
SELF-agreement and I will be able to identify when I am
slipping into relationship patterns, and when I am living
my self-agreement, with myself, and with another. I will work on my acceptances and allowances which I am responsible for. One
thing is for sure: I know what an agreement is not! So now, everything that
comes out of my application will be towards creating myself and in creating a
practical life that is best for all.
"Place the
practical points to be lived on the walls where you live and Walk It. Make it
so visible that you cannot miss it." Bernard Poolman
Relationships are of
the mind. An agreement is physical seen in actions and living and interaction,
walking responsibility, discipline, assistance and support that is Visible.
This
is the walk I am taking, for me as all. My participation in the world, in this blog, or when sharing my
myself with someone is a manifestation of my Agreement towards self, honouring
myself as Life, respecting myself and walking the words I stand for.
Inside-outside. There is no middle-road.
When sharing myself
with someOne, the practical Point of self honesty is: are both me and my
partner participating equally effective in the process and if not - Why are you
allowing ineffectiveness to exist?
Remember, it is
all-ways about Self. This is the gift one must give to oneself in every moment. The result must be what is the best for All.
