As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you
can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly
cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is
create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love
to enter.

When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your
head back and laugh at the sky.

If you wish your misery to end,
seek also to lose your wisdom -
the wisdom born of human illusion,
that which lacks the light
of God's overflowing grace.
The wisdom of this world increases doubt;
the wisdom of Faith releases you into the sky.

So the single most vital step on your journey toward
enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind. Every
time you create a gap in the stream of mind, the light of your
consciousness grows stronger. One day you may catch yourself
smiling at the voice in your head, as you would smile at the
antics of a child. This means that you no longer take the content
of your mind all that seriously, as your sense of self does not
depend on it.

If this me is only a robe then
who is
the one I am covering?
