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 discover 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 mindful when you point the finger at them in judgement because what you 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, because it means taking your own responsibility, 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.
Another type of energy that attracts us to each other, is that we 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 passage 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 others, so that we can consciously see the Mirror, and use it for its intended purpose. Understanding the Divine Purpose that our interaction with others can have, will dramatically change the depth and quality of these encounters.
When we begin to see that every relationship can teach us more about ourselves, no matter how brief, then we are able to fully reap the rewards and insights that these "Angels from Heaven", have been sent to give us.
Ultimately, we are all students, and everything and everyone is our teacher.

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
