Since hearing Marianne Williamson talk on Saturday, I’ve wanted to be just like her. The path I thought I should take was A Course In Miracles because that’s what she believes. On Monday I started out on Day One of the Course. By Tuesday afternoon I wanted to give up.
It wasn’t right for me. I have a strong Christian heritage with my parent being evangelical born again Christians. Sadly, their representation of God and his judgement on mankind has left me gun shy of anything that refers to God/Christ/Holy Spirit. It just didn’t work for me.
I wanted a spiritual practice. I know I am more than my physical reality and miracles happen to me every day of my life, but the only thing I really resonate with is the emails I get every day from The Universe and my own somewhat suspect notion that sex/sacred intimacy is the pathway to enlightenment. I was having a spiritual crisis.
Then out of the blue I get a friend request on Facebook from Dena Brehm who says that my post on sacred sex is exactly her experience. We get chatting and she sends me a link to Michael Brown who runs The Presence Portal. The first article I read on Conscious Relationships blows me away. Finally there is someone who thinks like I do.
God is love and love is God.
When we seek to enter an authentic loving relationship with another human being we are seeking an intimate experience with God in the physical. We are seeking love; we are seeking a love that can be grounded in the physical but that also empowers us to awaken to the vibrational. ~ Michael Brown
There is much more to be learnt and discovered about this philosophy, but at last I feel like I am on the right pathway. I know that sex changed my life. It shook me out of my mediocrity and my sleep and awakened me to being fully alive. When I found an authentically intimate relationship the world turned on its head and love became all that mattered.
Our journey into authentic intimacy is not about finding the perfect partner; it is about becoming the perfect partner.
It is not about getting love; it is about agreeing to grow up into a man or woman who is ready and willing to unconditionally give love.
It is not about “living happily ever after”; it is about committing to a relationship in which the intent is “to be present and as conscious as possible in each unfolding moment”.
It is not about finding someone with which to hunker down and establish an unconscious routine; it is about being willing to join another in rising inward and upward as a conscious “route in” to the vibrational realm. ~ Michael Brown

Ask and ye shall receive :). Isn’t it marvellous that when you open up to the Universe it ALWAYS delivers what you need in that moment of time? Synchronicity? Absolutely! We’re on a roll – yahooooooo!!!! Vibrate, vibrate, vibrate 🙂 🙂 🙂
Loving it x
WOW. This is amazing. Thank you for sharing all of this. I absolutely love what he said about there being no safe place for women in this world. It’s so sad but true, I feel. We are constantly bombarded. I want to be free! I look forward to finding a partner with whom I can reach this level of profound intimacy…
What do you think he meant when he said the one of our two truths is that “only other people die”? That part left me feeling uncomfortable and confused. But the rest was insightful and liberating.
Hi Grace, I am not really sure what he meant by that. It left me wondering too. But what I think he was meaning is we only experience other peoples’ death but never our own (with our human resources). I guess we fear death because of the pain, grief and loss we experience, but we actually have no idea what death is really like until we are transformed into another reality. So … “only other people die” means we can only view death from an outside perspective and we can’t have a personal experience of it ourselves until we actually die.
Yeah … that’s what I got from his comment too, Katie … life goes on … we don’t experience our own demise … though we experience the sensation/appearance of separation from others. Just like we cannot fathom not ever having BEEN alive. Just ask any child, and they’ll tell you that they can’t remember ever NOT existing. 😉
Oh I see, that does make sense. I liked how you said that Katie: “transformed into another reality”. Thanks for clearing this up for me : )
Good post Katie…. by the way I am always here 🙂 I like how you put….. ‘There is much more to be learnt and discovered about this philosophy, but at last I feel like I am on the right pathway. I know that sex changed my life. It shook me out of my mediocrity and my sleep and awakened me to being fully alive. When I found an authentically intimate relationship the world turned on its head and love became all that mattered.’ …..because you simplified what many go through life confusing.
Its raw, its human.
Thanks!
Sam
Hey Sam – fancy you still being here 😀 Thanks for sticking round x
🙂 EnJOYing fits of giggly guffaws here, Katie! First, your blog profoundly spoke to ME, and then what I felt compelled to share with you spoke to YOU…! LOVE it…!
Michael Brown and The Presence Process (a book I UBERLY endorse, along with Alchemy of the Heart), have kept me sane through a divorce, and a break-up (that became a delightful reunion).
I, too, was transformed by intensely intimate sex … I will never be the same. I know this is what I was born to experience …
SO glad to be able to share the joy with you, and others … keep it up, Katie … as will I! <3
I’m so happy that you came into my life x
