Billy, thank you so much for sharing this post….
I'd like to add also that this applies in any relationship, this true perception… seeing that the 'person' is not the conditioning.
I currently have the opportuninty to deeply look at this in my intimate relationship with my partner Paulie.
Offering an environment of non-judgement, of not punishing or resenting the 'other' for slipping into an unconscious, yet -unexplored, mind state or reaction, is the only way to truly be of assistance.
I find it is difficult enough, well a challenge, not to judge myself in times of mis-identification or reaction, and having somone else there punishing or judging , makes it more of a challenge to come back to our natural, true, Being of peace.
And even though, in relationships, the 'other' may not be able to offer an environment of non-judgement, we have to offer that to ourselves, and see and accept that they are not able to be at that level of awareness, yet...
So, knowing how this feels, I see that it is best to allow someone to react in a non-judgmental , non-punishing enviroinment, not mistaking who they truly are for their temporary reaction.
This is the best we can offer another towards liberation from suffering.
Love to All,
Soul
