Relationship and the Understanding of Being

"How does understanding my true nature as infinite being affect my intimate relationships? Should I view my partner differently? Rupert says: ‘The recognition of your true nature doesn’t change your partner; it changes what you see when you look at them. Instead of seeing a separate person with whom you’re in relationship, you recognise the being you share. Love is the recognition of shared being. When the apparent separation between you and your partner dissolves, what remains is the intimacy of being knowing itself. This doesn’t diminish the person; it reveals their true nature. You continue to honour their unique expression, their thoughts and feelings, their personal qualities, but you recognise these as the colouring of the one being you both essentially are. This recognition doesn’t make relationships less personal; it makes them truly intimate because you’re meeting at the level of being rather than merely at the level of appearance.’"
