She's setting it up so that every date involves them completing a project together.
The dates know this going in.
I love that I got to hear about this practice secondhand—it's genius, and right in the spirit of Something Like This.
The soul of Something Like This is the sacredness of this human experience as it's only happening here and now.
This practice offers this woman the chance to center her own life and do something that she needs to do regardless. That means that the right now of the potential connection is guaranteed to be in service to her. She doesn't have to hope that the connection will turn out to feel some way or have some outcome to have a sense that this is time well-spent.
She's viewing any man within the context of her actual life, taking actions partnership will ask them to take together. They both get a sense of how that feels, a sense of where the compatibility is available.
In this, the connection is safe to reveal itself as it is.
A connection will reveal itself to be the vast spaciousness and infinite building blocks of devotional life partnership if and only if we give it the space and time to reveal itself as such.
The connection could be mindblowing, unimaginably good, yet we can see these novelties if and only if we are looking at what it IS. If we are comparing it to what we imagine, it can only fail.
When we know what we want partnership to ADD to our lives, then and only then can we trust ourselves to sacrifice nothing.
End the practice of centering delusion and disappointment, always looping in "not that!"
Enter the recognition of positive reality, "Yes, thank you, Something Like This."
I appreciate what you offer.... somewhat dense I think I heard you say once.
But you trigger me as well.... and this share I'm responding to....the way I am understanding it or lack of....illustrates that by the smacking of an absence of desire to complete a project your partners may want to achieve.
I see great balance or I might say integration in your sharings but still feel an undertone of undue self-centeredness.
