Entering into relationship with others does not mean making yourself a slave to them or giving into their narcissistic demands. No, it means becoming a space of freedom for them, a space of autonomy, of true life and growth, in order to be able to reach increasingly evolved levels of psycho-spiritual awareness. You should enter into meaningful relationships not out of duty or for conformism or appearances, but for intimate inner realization. Not to deprive yourself of something, but as a personal demand, coming from a natural inner drive. In this life vision, that I call soul-filled or heart-filled, even the body we have, however they are, because of their intelligence and character, are exactly what we need to undertake our own journeys of meaning.
