It was two months after the fact that a new girlfriend convinced him to be ticked off about it and begin lying. It happens. Bless him. \u00a0<\/span>&#8220;To he I tried to help, forgive me for giving you what you begged for, the attention that you said would finally make everything right in your world.\u00a0 To he whose illusions I shattered by tearing down every wall you said was an obstacle, forgive me for laying bare your own soul before you for close inspection, and showing you no obstacles existed.\u00a0 To he for whom I was sole captive audience and father confessor the last 15 months, I am honored to have been able to bring Light to get you through your dark night. \u00a0To he who said he was alone until he found me, I now realize the reason for that. To he with the hard past of disrespecting women, of <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=33078\">smooth words and alternative motives<\/a>, thank you for the opportunity to reveal to me my own weakness and strength.\u00a0 It showed me I can sustain seeking good in the face of illusion.\u00a0 To he with the hard time with truth, fear not, the truth will set you free. It&#8217;s not just a bumper sticker.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I know he longs to live a different life.\u00a0 I know he feels the pull of his soul. I know he found me as he was hitting bottom of a very low past.\u00a0 I&#8217;m a strong diving board.\u00a0 I can take it.\u00a0 <em>The board doesn&#8217;t lament the diver, it knows its sole purpose is the gift of momentum.\u00a0 <\/em>Preferring to be the chameleon to get what he thinks he wants, he doesn&#8217;t mean to hurt others in the process.\u00a0 Like the butterfly, he flits from here to there, just a sip, next.\u00a0 Seek as he might, he never fills the empty spot within.\u00a0 Although <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=33078\">he&#8217;ll say you fill it<\/a> with your enchanting, mystical magic, the likes of which he&#8217;s never before experienced&#8230; for a minute.\u00a0 Like an hourglass with no bottom that just keeps emptying, giving no way to flip it over and start again.\u00a0 My job was giving him respite, a bit of foundation so he could regroup and refill the hourglass so it could be flipped again.<\/p>\n<p>He loves the words and the adoration they elicit, but is unable to live the words.\u00a0 He&#8217;ll tell the pretty stories yet not the true, deep changes he&#8217;s actually going through. The real soul work, that&#8217;s where the magic lies.\u00a0 That&#8217;s where alchemy takes place. He knows that, he longs for that. He&#8217;s not always ready to process that.\u00a0 He promotes open communication yet cannot respect those closest to him by saying honestly what is on his mind, punishing instead by silence, half truths, sharp words and diversion (<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=37143\">&#8211;&gt; I ask an ex 4 exit interview questions.<\/a>) Only in anger will he speak his mind.\u00a0 That is not how he wants to be. In clear moments he knows that: &#8220;sorry again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To he who, try as he might, is not yet who he says he is: we all go through that, it&#8217;s all part of the process.\u00a0\u00a0 To<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=22911\"> feel you must dishonor women<\/a> in order to gain their attention merely shows where you are on the wheel of conscious evolution.\u00a0 The wheel moves. Time goes on. We grow up.\u00a0 We take responsibility for how we perceive the world and how we react to it. We really grok the concept that <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=4217\">it&#8217;s all related<\/a>. We clean up the past so we don&#8217;t drag it kicking and screaming into the future with us.<\/p>\n<p>We no longer merely pay lip service to the cute inspirational quotes of the day.\u00a0 We can take just one of these quotes and meditate upon it deeply for a day and take it into practice and allow it to change our world. Or we can post as many as we can in 4 hours on Facebook, not really seeing the clear messages before us.\u00a0 We WANT TO want to be who we say we are, but we need to practice it continually until we grow in to it.\u00a0 The remedy: Do some serious soul searching.\u00a0 Ask yourself serious questions. Wait for the answers. Take them to heart. People will love you for who you really are.\u00a0 Grace them with the opportunity to do that by being who you really are: good, bad, up, down, manic, creative, depressed. You said I brought you through the hardest year of your life and brought you back to life. Let who you are be enough and you will attract the right people to you.\u00a0 Never doubt that. After all, we attracted each other. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been my honor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">To those who find this harsh, you do not understand the work he and I committed to do together. One reason I feel free to write this is because he and I continually discuss living our lives as openly and transparently as possible, and to call each other on our stuff. We do it publicly so others can benefit from what we go through. We know yes we&#8217;re Andrea and Jeremy but we also represent archetypes in the midst of universal and metaphorical lessons. It would be arrogant to think they are lessons for us alone so, in the spirit of seva, we agree to feel free share our thoughts via Facebook and our blogs. Yes, even this.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">RELATED CHRONOLOGY:<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23017\">6:00pm Update<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23215\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23215\"> Friends Again<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=33078\">Beware the narcissist disguised as your soul mate<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23215\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=31604\">How to Spot A Sociopath -10 Red Flags<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23480\">When a new man aggressively pursues you<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=21215\">We ignored the signs in front of us<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23343\">Never doubt you have the power to change someone\u2019s life<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=25412\">To he who is blaming me for what he is attracting<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=24774\">I thought it was over, please block me<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=23781\">A soul mate\u2019s purpose is to shake you up so that you have to transform your life<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=22341\">Think twice before giving people what they tell you they want<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=21833\">Can you be in a happy love relationship with one you don&#8217;t plan a future with?<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=24062\">I attract karmic backlash in relationships because I&#8217;ve not always acted admirably<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=26486\">How do I feel about a \u201chealer\u201d who sings of stepping stones yet denies his own? <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=26992 \">Really want to split karma?
