The Big Flip
Reorienting Relationships for 2012 & Beyond by Dorothy West
During the last decade we have really accelerated the pace of becoming aware and conscious, expanding by leaps and bounds in just the last year! It’s common to hear phrases such as “being present” and “higher self”. Even those who aren’t yet actively participating are familiar, on some level, with the shift in focus.
Relationships, too, are ready for awareness. By shifting orientation to the purpose and meaning of our relationships, we can enjoy the rapid development and conscious purpose that our “self” has experienced. To start, let’s take a look at intimate relationships, though this view works on all relationships from the postman to your true love to your mother.
When I work with young couples in my coaching practice, I ask them “Why are you together?” What do you think is the most common response?
“Because we love each other!” “Great!”, I say, “You’re going to need that! What are you going to do with that love energy? What is it for?” I get some funny looks. A purpose? To relationship? What if there’s more to it than being harnessed to someone to fulfill a cultural prescription for how adulthood or family or life is supposed to look? What if there’s a purpose to our relationships? What if relationships are how we grow ourselves, our societies and expand the cosmos?
Consider this: we are aligned with the Greater Being of our partners, and will do whatever it takes for our partners to have the information and expansion they desire. We will poke and prod and irritate in order to honor that commitment to their expansion, clarity and authenticity. They do the same for us. Before the BIG FLIP, we are always looking for ways to eliminate conflict, communicate more effectively, resolve issues, and get our partners to stop the very thing they have dedicated themselves to doing! After the BIG FLIP, we look for the information or experience that we are yearning for, and thank our partner for the devotion it took for us to get whatever it was. It can sound like “WOW, dude, you really had to work hard for me to get that one! Thanks, I love you!” The BIG FLIP virtually eliminates conflict, because we understand that we are working together on something much bigger than “being in love”. We are creating scenarios just to get to those brilliant insights! We are partnering for expansion, awareness and the complete integration of our BEING!
