Dear Friends,
This week's quote is from spiritual awareness class A/V Seminar 10, which will be published in Volume 12 of The Living Light Dialogue. The quote begins with a question from a student.
“In personal relationships I have noticed that husbands seem to become so critical of their mate’s flaws and vice versa of wives to their husband’s. Why is this?
Over-identification. You see, when you permit yourself attachment, the effect of over-identification, after a period of time of the attachment or over-identification, the self rises up to express in a little different way. And in order to continue to feel its self-importance after the conquest has been made, it must see the weakness, the frailties, and the flaws of the one that it has judged that it has conquered, through, of course, attachment. And so it is a natural process of the human mind, in order to maintain and to sustain its glory of self-importance after the conquest is complete, to find the weaknesses and the flaws of that which is attached to them in order that they may continue to experience the glory of self-importance and superiority.
