Upon his return he tells his wife that he in in such a different place because of his spiritual awakening. His wife goes about her daily chores not saying a word. After a period of silence the man asks his wife "did you hear what I said?" And the wife still remains silent. So the man asks the question a second time but this time in a much louder voice "DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?" So who really had the awakening. The point is that the only way we know who we are is in relation to someone else as you so eloquently brought out in your post Jacque. Another person doesn't make us they just merely reveal to us where we are in our evolution. There have been so many times that I thought I had arrived only to see that I hadn't quite left the place I was trying to leave. Thanks for the post and your insight.

The point is that the only way we know who we are is in relation to someone else as you so eloquently brought out in your post Jacque. Another person doesn’t make us they just merely reveal to us where we are in our evolution.

There have been so many times that I thought I had arrived only to see that I hadn’t quite left the place I was trying to leave.

Thanks for the post and your insight.
