I hated about 60-70 percent of every conversation. My attitude was that there is an opportunity lurking there, and I&#8217;d find it. That attitude was encouraged by my teachers.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the seven months I noticed that my financial situation had started to go south when I started that relationship. I was now at a point when I was not going to be able to pay my rent&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--digg-->A normally hidden thought at that point surfaced in this person&#8217;s speaking, and I realized that they were my enemy, and a downer all along. They were in it for what was in it for them, and made sure there was nothing in it for me. They didn&#8217;t like me, didn&#8217;t care for me, compared me with themselves and they always came out on top, thought it unfare that I would make more money than them.<\/p>\n<p>In that moment of clarity I saw that in those seven months I had handed over the control over my thoughts and life to this person, and it was time to take it back.<\/p>\n<p>I also noticed that it had been a pattern in my life. I could see that there was my desire to &#8220;lift up&#8221; other people, even if they weren&#8217;t particularly interested. I call that caretaking in another post of mine&#8230; (Studies show that when a higher vibration person tries to lift up the vibration of another person, instead of the desired outcome, the lowest common denominator wins. Other studies show that in sado-masochistic relationship the real control is in the hand of the masochist, not the sadist, like it seems on the surface.)<\/p>\n<p>You notice that you are not energized by the relationship. You notice that your health, your energy level, your self-love, your connection with your purpose is getting weaker and harder to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>In hindsight the same thing happened with my male cat. He wanted food, he wanted shelter (when he wanted it), but he didn&#8217;t want me. He didn&#8217;t choose me.<\/p>\n<p>When I look at my relationships (male\/female) I see the pattern: it begins with me relentlessly pursuing a stable and steady connection where I am the contributor\/giver, thus I have the upper hand. They begrudgingly protecting their right to maintain independence. I increase the pressure. At some point we are best friends. I continue the domination with giving and giving and giving. At some point I catch myself, and break off the relationship.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s been the movie of my life. Quite disgusting, if you ask me. And makes for a lonely, unfulfilled life.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily to me, this time I had my eyes open and my fingers pointing at myself. This time I have taken 100% responsibility for my part in this mess.<\/p>\n<p>This fact, having taken responsibility for my role as a director\/writer of this movie, I have given myself a chance to write and direct movies that are more fulfilling and satisfying than this repeated nightmarish ego-driven script.<\/p>\n<p>Since the awakening and breakoff, my financial situation is looking up, I am more in touch with my soul&#8217;s desire and things unpredictable and delicious are starting to show up in my space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent 1-3 hours with a very negative person for seven months in the very near past.
