The Mirrors that can "Free You" from the Mind and Ego
There are many types of relationships; Casual, intimate, business, personal, etc. Each type serves a different purpose, and plays a vital role in our personal growth and spiritual development. Don't dismiss or trivialize the relationships in your life because they are a reflection of yourself, and therefore invaluable in helping you to see who you truly are!
The main purpose of our Relationships is to Mirror yourself back to you. Whatever you need to work on will be reflected back to you from these wonderful participants who have volunteered to help you on this journey. So be careful when you point the finger at them in judgement because what you see and dislike in them, is most likely the very thing you need to recognize in yourself. Once you do, you empower yourself to change whatever doesn't work for you.
This next truth might be hard to swallow at first, but like energy attracts like energy. What that means is that the people in your life are there because they share similar or opposing qualities with you. For instance; An abusive person will attract someone who is a victim, thereby fulfilling that relationship dynamic. Just as every leader has a follower or how a person in need finds a savior. Everything has it's opposite, but no matter which role you play, the energy linking you together is similar.
The other type of energy that attracts individuals to each other, is that they share a similar energy or common spiritual path. Instead of attracting your opposite, you attract the same type of individual or energy. When this happens, Sinergy is created by elevating the energy level of the relationship higher than the level would be individually. This is what the quote in the bible seems to be saying; "Where two or more are gathered in His name."
Each of us has a Divine Path to follow and our interactions with others provide ample opportunities for self discovery. My personal relationships have been profound in helping me to awaken and become more conscious of "who" I am.
The tricky part, is learning how to break the preconceived ideas we have about the people in our lives, so that we can consciously use these Mirrors for their true intended purpose. Understanding the Divine Purpose of our interaction with others, can dramatically change the depth and quality of your relationships.

Many of us have questions about the Awakening Process and especially the effect it has on our Relationships, so in addition to our site, we have networked with a website that specializes in free advice about relationships and many other topics related to this subject matter. "Ask Mrs. Figgins" gives very sound advice. Just remember to always check any advice that you're given with your own intuition and feelings to make sure that the advice rings true for you. Ultimately, you are the only one who knows what's in your best interests.
Living with integrity means:
Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your persoanl values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe. Barbara De Angelis
"Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others' actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others' activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others." H.H. The Dalai Lama
"All human beings are interconnected, one with all other elements in creation." Henry Reed
"If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place." Margaret Mead
