Old Paradigm Relationship - in the beginning...
Lots of Sex/Lust, Impressing, Thrilling, Being Wild, Material Gifts, Falling in Love. UNTIL you exhaust yourself and the other and it ends.

New Paradigm Relationship: Three Stages

Sacred Union:
The longing for something MORE...Deeper intimacy, deeper Truth, deeper sexuality. Until one of both or both of you resists and it ends.

Holy Relationship:
Courtship, Slow and Conscious approach towards sexuality, Revealing, Humility, Being Vulnerable, Inner Gifts, Rising in Love. Until one of both or both of you resists and it ends.

Christed Relationship:
Deepening and Allowing the Fullness of the dismantling process - until All that remains is Christ...

With sincere gratitude to Greg Orie for the joint contemplations and realisations.
